I mean, to be honest it does look like sandstorm development has almost stopped for the past couple of years...or am I missing something? https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/graphs/code-freque...

Hmmm. I thought it was thoughtful and informative. I didn’t see any aggression.

Wait, really? Can you give specifics?

I’m pretty curious. What are those too 30 misconceptions in US commercial astronomy texts? Is there a list somewhere? Or can you name some?

I think clickable links in the markdown would be great, at least as an option. Even if they would break when the original file is moved.

I’m not sure how exactly timelinize stores photos, but you could sync photos as you take them to timelinize, and then, if they are accessible, point immich to the timelinize photos for its use. That would essentially deduplicate your photos

I want to be able to do all these same kinds of searches too. Especially layering on searches, like what you said about how the search ideally could be bookmarked and searched on. Like any search result could become a smart album maybe. I’d

A lot of things in science/technology have been invented essentially by accident though, with little to no understanding of why it worked. Who’s to say aging can’t be similar.

What’s this updatable BitTorrent protocol? I wished for something like this years ago as an auto-updating torrent for downloading Wikipedia with live (or daily or whatever) changes.

One more update: it’s a UZ801, with the Qualcomm MSM8916 chipset (according to `adb shell getprop ro.product.model` etc, and the fact that openstick works). I got it running Debian without much trouble, and it’s working great. I followed th

Just wanted to update that I got this in the mail today. Not bad—6 days from order to delivery, all for just over a dollar. I haven’t tried to hack it at all yet. Here are photos: https://imgur.com/a/J7S8rEW

Yeah. You’re probably right.

I think this is a joke but it’s interesting to note that Amish people have essentially this. https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/news/2022/09/30/ohios-a...

This is a good critique, and I’ve been wondering the same ever since watching that TED talk. Still. I’m not sure it’s much worse (or worse at all) than what we have right now, at least in the USA. Maybe I’m wrong about that though?

I don’t know. I asked chatgpt where I can get the most calories for my money when eating fast food, tempered by the qualification that the food is delicious. It very confidently and without any wishy washiness told me I should go to Wendy’s

I just bought one for $1.07 US with free shipping. I was buying with a new account so I probably got that discount. But even so, before buying I got $2.99 the first time I loaded the page, then $9.89 or thereabouts, and finally $0.99 (which

Same here! But really wonder if we don’t already have all the needed technology and someone just needs to put it together…and convince their society to make use of it. I really like this kind of conversation because as I read peoples commen

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. I didn’t mean the overthrow of the government was democratic. I was referring to the people in the discord server choosing a new leader.

Isn’t there a way to do the first option, but without attaching anyone’s votes to their digital id, except in a cryptographic way such that any individual person can look up their own vote online and verify that their vote has been counted

This also makes me wonder what could be done to make discord (or something similar) a better venue for direct democracy. I know the circumstances in Nepal were exceptional, but I wonder if we will see other countries experiment with Discord

I thought it was super ironic that after the government of Nepal banned almost all social media platforms last week, this week the Gen Z protesters who overthrew the government used one of those platforms, discord, to choose a new prime min

As a parent of more than a few kids of my own, I can say from my experience that even if you raise them all the same, some kids will understand and behave exactly the way I would hope—full of wonder and reverence—and others will act the goa

I don’t think so. They are steadily approaching their defined and published goals for stable release. I’m guessing it will come this year.
