I just can’t understand how someone could think that banking books is a good idea.

I find it a bit annoying that different usb-c implementations have different capabilities.
As in, not all cables are compatible with all devices, and there’s not even a standardised way or reporting capabilities.
What’s the point of being able to put every plug in every socket if you don’t know if it’s going to work?
No and none.
He just walked out of a US district court. If they were going to grab him they would have.
He rolled the dice on being the world’s most well known “journalist” and he lost in the most spectacular way. He’s so incredibly lucky he got off as lightly as he did, having only lost 12 years of his life.
what do you mean? It just did play out. That’s the end.
Feels like the whole world is on the same trajectory.
Yeah, I feel the same, but I don’t really know enough about it to make that assertion.
I agree. There’s also a pervasive feeling that lemmy is unaffected by manipulation and misinformation.
If Lemmy continues to grow sooner or later it will become a large enough target for manipulation, and I wonder how federation will fare at that time.
You’re right in that it will never be like it was, but there are still fringes and niche communities that have that human feel. The thing is they’re much less engaging without algorithms and UX driving engagement, we’re not drawn to them in the same way.
WDYM?
Brigadeers can just upvote comments supporting their position and exclude contrary ones.
Enough. Feel free to continue believing that, on the balance of probabilities, this tomb is that of the really real Jesus.
That’s just not true.
Sure ok you might not see how many upvotes a user has received but that’s not how vote manipulation works.
Votes influence what you see, and perhaps more importantly they influence what users perceive to be popular opinions.
Upvotes for “genocide joe” comments are a good example. A few people can make an idea seem like it’s mainstream.
The problem with this, is that it only blocks posts. You’re still going to see comments, and posts and comments are still subject to vote manipulation.
If you’re happy with this type of calculation then the probability that this tomb is that of biblical Jesus is (number of occupants) / (number of humans in that area at the time the tomb was built).
If it was just about transparency he would’ve released it sooner.
Sitting on it to release at the right time was partisan.
He released information relating to government officials engaging in misconduct
… at precisely the right time to maximise the effect of the release and diminish her chances at winning the election.
No whistleblowers shouldn’t go to prison, I’m glad Assange is going home but I do dislike him immensely.
Of course you can.
I’m unable to calculate the probability that the moon will fall out of the sky tonight but I know that the probability is very low.
We might not be able to calculate the probability but we can conclude that the chances that this tomb is that of Jesus is infinitesimal.
This. It’s not just a switch to be flipped.
What’s done is done. From day 1 after the referendum it was obvious to everyone that the UK would spend the next 50 years trying to mitigate the impact of that ridiculous decision. Hotting the “rejoin” button is not necessarily a short cut to the end.
They would’ve assassinated him already.
Yes I think this has broken him. Quiet life in the burbs with the occasional phone interview on someone’s podcast.
