  • I read an article on the WSJ just yesterday that said he (and many others in the Silicon Valley) are using psychedelic drugs while working in order to find new business ideas. they are into microdosing (which I’m not against), but they also throw big drug parties according to the WSJ and that might have messed with his mind. That, COVID and the recent breakup upon a narcissistic personality might be enough to explain his total breakdown.








  • this is basically not understanding what “risk” means. if you have a 1% risk of developing cancer, and by doing something (ie drinking) you double relatively-wise that risk, it’s still only 2% of risk. would you stop drinking and enjoying alcohol and living a happier life for a mere 1%?

    all the numbers I’m using are totally random, but it shows that saying “it increases the risk” although technically correct doesn’t mean shit and it’s just fearmongering and a basic inability of understanding information.



  • oh man, I’d kill to know how to hack my fucking samsung tv. I don’t use it’s useless “business” smart functions, but every time i turn it on it nags me with that terrible menu. and there’s no way to turn it off because they completely fucked it up by pushing ads through that menu.




  • I think, for how Lemmy is structured right now, you wouldn’t see all the communities, but just those that other users in your instance already searched for. there’s no automatic global directory for communities, and I think it would be impossible to do given the decentralised nature of the fediverse.

    what it could be done though, is that each instance maintains a manifesto of all their communities, and updates all their connected and federated instances with the updated list. I doubt Lemmy is doing this now, but it could be good food for future features.
