  • Proton Mail Long-Term Reliability

  • I've been using PM for a couple of years and have been enjoying it without issue. No problems with delivery, but can't say anything about access abroad. The service has never gone down as far as I've noticed.

  • Is there a website that unifies lemmy and mastodon?

    Jump

  • Agreed. There's an option in Mastodon to hide replies in a feed which in theory could solve the problem, but it never hid anything for me. Maybe try that?

  • Kbin does that in terms of function as in kbin has its own microblogging element to the experience, but it doesn't do anything to bring the existing kbin and mastodon universes together.

    Mastodon can do this. Mastodon interprets Lemmy communities as users, Lemmy threads as boosted posts with user mentions, and Lemmy comments as replies. If you search on Mastodon for a Lemmy community using the Mastodon format e.g. @community@domain instead of !community@domain you'll find the community and posts.

  • Drawing Sonic like this is extremely inappropriate...

    Draw the mono-eye or DON'T DRAW HIM AT ALL.

  • T cells burn out just a few hours after encountering cancer tumors

    Jump

  • IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting "burned out" is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term "exhausted" the same interpretation of the phrase:

    Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

    This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it's not individuals getting "exhausted", but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

    A more correct title would be something like:

    Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last

  • T cells burn out just a few hours after encountering cancer tumors

    Jump

  • Isn't this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don't actually get "burned out" at all. And imo it's not like the real reason is uninteresting.

    Why dress the article in the exact thing it's refuting?

  • They are heading for the medical frigate

    Jump

  • Probably for the same reasons hospitals have medical facilities all centralized in them. The equipment and services aren't necessary all the time, but when they are it's more useful to have them all in one place. That probably doesn't stop other ships from having their own medical facilities for more day to day use.

  • You've been redirected to Scarif

    Jump

  • I kind of wish this was the only scene Vader was in; it would have been such a good surprise. If I'm remembering correctly, He wasn't all that impactful to the plot before this anyway.

    Also, having the pressure come only from Tarkin I think is a cleaner and stronger way of pushing Krennic and reinforcing their conflict.

  • Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?

    Jump

  • I'm not agreeing with the above, but it's nuanced. Content curation is a sliding scale that can create an echo chamber if one becomes too insular. On the internet especially where discourse can be inflammatory, avoiding some topics can shut you off from entire ideas that may otherwise be benign.

    IMO create the experience you want, but build resilience and test your limits often. It's healthier for yourself and the internet as a community.

  • Is buying an Intel A380 worth it?

    Jump

  • I've wondered this too. I have a similar enough server and think it might be worth it, but it depends on what is causing your issues. Your 8600k should have a UHD630 in it and this forum post describes great 4k HDR transcoding performance.

  • Jellyfin only ever shows a single movie and metadata doesnt appear to get scraped

    Jump

  • It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with your compose file or directory structure. Could it be a problem with the Library settings within Jellyfin? If you haven't tried, it might be worth trying to start completely fresh i.e. delete the cache and config directories.

  • Is it odd that I can't hold a grudge?

    Jump

  • Do you have any rationale behind keeping in touch with those people in spite of their treatment of you? What do you believe about their future behaviour?

  • What non-technical criticisms do you have of the Lemmy/kbin/link aggregator fediverse experience?

    Jump

  • I would hope in the future we get a more fleshed out version of multireddits. I think it would be a decent solution since I don't think duplication of communities is a phenomenon that will ever go away.

  • What non-technical criticisms do you have of the Lemmy/kbin/link aggregator fediverse experience?

    Jump

  • Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.

    That's a really annoying issue. Not being able to trust an instance to keep your account alive plants the seeds for a centralization problem in the future.

  • 100%

  • What non-technical criticisms do you have of the Lemmy/kbin/link aggregator fediverse experience?

    Jump

  • Agreed, though I think it's less "we don't want you here" and more "you're on your own". I liken it to Linux in that sense where new users are expected to try harder to learn the ins and outs. The difference is with Linux what you learn can be applied in so many more places in your Linux experience. With Lemmy, once you grasp the technical depth of it there's not much you can do with it except explain it to another person.

    Jump

  • I agree, though I probably wouldn't call it marketing or advertising. Maybe just a better and more accessible introduction and onboarding experience.

  • Why the Left's Vision of Equity Is Flawed | Douglas Murray

    Jump

  • Nobody is "inserting" or "shoe-horning" anyone anywhere they don't belong. My argument has always been that systems of power have artificially, non-meritocratically, prevented competent and able people from gaining positions of power or influence because of their membership to a particular group. They're just not given a fair shot.

    Now depending on how used to the traditional landscape of power some people are, a legitimately fair shot may appear like some sinister replacement theory-like plot, but that's not justice and you can't please everyone anyway. There's only so much identity a group can strategically yield before they've lost the issues they originally wanted solved.

    America voted for Obama in part because he was an actual option. When people are made aware there are options for better representation, they'll take them.

  • Why the Left's Vision of Equity Is Flawed | Douglas Murray

    Jump

  • I agree that technically it's not necessary; very few things are. But that begs the question, why settle for a proxy? There are many who are willing and able to represent in an equally competent way, but with the advantage of being closer to the issues. There's nothing stopping those individuals from starting the same conversations and advocating for speaking up and empathy in the same way, they are just less likely to need a figurative, and sometimes literal, translator.

    You've avoided saying explicitly whether aiming for more than what's "necessary" would be detrimental to overall efforts for progressive change, but the obvious implication of the argument is "yes". The whole "perfect is the enemy of good" thing. Something like "leverage the current not-so-representative individuals in power to solve the issues because getting new, more representative people in would be" somewhere between "wasteful" and "token", depending on who's talking. I believe this is the case not because it's what works, but because we've landed here after aiming for better. The middle outcome will always be the winning one. Aim for the middle and the winning outcome will just be worse.

    Additionally, the reason I specifically mention visible representation is because of how much visibility plays a part in inspiring and motivating action from the people that identify with that visible person. The backgrounds and history of these people are known and it's a significant thing to see the background you share with them not only acknowledged, but vindicated as something that didn't hold them back in finding success.
