    That's the Sinclair Broadcast Group forcing the news orgs they own to read from the same script. They also had "must run" news segments that include conservative commentary. That d…

    Or you can use an adapter.

    We set up a pleroma instance on OpenBSD a while back. It works pretty well. Kind of a pain to get set up due to version mismatches of elixir and Erlang and what not, but it wasn't …

    Note the .004 overall "Symptomatic Case Fatality Ratio". Quite a few conservative outlets are indicating a true IFR of .26% based on this, instead of the .4 - .6% a lot of recent s…

    I'm not sure this is the case anymore. McConnell and Trump have been rapidly filling the courts with young, right leaning justices. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019…

    I'd argue he's narcissistic and his motives may have both been self-serving, but also not strictly financial. I'd also argue he probably doesn't have the foresight to predict weath…

    Even if they had 30% immunity, that still leaves the majority of the population exposed. I'm sure 30% would be very much preferable (if it's even true), but probably not good enoug…

    That's super interesting. It's hard to imagine what a legitimately authoritative anti-disinformation campaign would look like. Back when Operation INFEKTION was big, in the 80's ii…

    Use Alpine or something then. I use Alpine as well on a server, OpenBSD on a server, slackware on a server, slackware on my laptop... There's some options. We even use Devuan to ho…

    Slackware doesn't use it, and Patrick Volkerding recently got a Patreon account set up so Slackware 15.0 or 14.3 will hopefully be out soonish with updated packages. I'm writing th…

    I suppose so ya, can't sustain without a community or company unless you want to do all the work yourself.

    I'd say software doesn't always win out on it's merits, there's almost definitely some social aspects regarding what does and does not get adopted. I do agree the commercial intere…

    For me, protecting people from themselves should never be a policy priority. I have struggled with depression, probably still do, but I genuinely don't think the ideal solution to …

    There's reviews, seller ratings, and often test results from some EU lab or via store bought tests. It's kinda like amazon and could probably be gamed but it's probably less likely…

    You'd need a longer term study to see if the group's recieving it are better off than a control group after x years, assuming that's the specific thing you want out of this study.

    Agreed, to an extent. It's incredibly frustrating for things as small as a paraphernalia charge that was thrown out ending up on a local news site, especially for employability rea…

    Wordpress plugins get injected with crap all the time, same with joomla, pretty much any site running a super old php version with their CMS, etc.
