I recently reviewed a paper, for a prestigious journal. Paper was clearly from the academic mill. It was horrible. They had a small experimental engine, and they wrote 10 papers about it. Results were all normalized and relative, key test conditions not even mentioned, all described in general terms.. and I couldn't even be sure if the authors were real (korean authors, names are all Park, Kim and Lee). I hate where we arrived in scientific publishing.

Advertisement is brainwashing and should be against human rights.

Nah it's been confirmed that admins banned the guillotine. It's unbelievable.

Late or not, we have to do all we can to stop runaway warming and ecological collapse. We know corporations and populations won't do anything voluntarily. That is why legislation is the only way. EU is taking the lead on this. I'm hoping world countries will follow.

The issue is profit motive is inherent in capitalism. Businesses and government work on the same resources (money in this case). Businesses do everything they can to maximize profits, then they use the profits to buy government and ensure they keep business as usual. Power corrupts. So they don't offer living wage, they cut costs, they pollute and they collude. And in law, these businesses are legal entities too. They are afforded the legal status yet if an actual person did what a business does, he would be put away for a long time. Businesses act as psychoes yet people glorify being a successful business owner. Being successful in this system means that you exploited the most and you are the most psycho. Congrats then I guess.

My granma had a spinal disc missing entirely. It was just gone. Must've broken it at some point and didn't realize. She was mostly bedridden and moved very slowly with a walker, needed a lot of support. May she rest in peace (death unrelated to missing disc)

Ads are against human rights. They manipulate your feelings and force you to make biased choices. They should be banned.

Bro take me back to my timeline i don't like it here

Changed careers and went into decarbonization and environmental protection research at 39. So glad that I now feel like what I do matters and my purpose has meaning. Findings can sometimes be depressing tho

Duck Duck Go browser can set up a local VPN on your phone (doesn't connect anywhere) that blocks the telemetry and tracking attempts before they go out.

It's a good bot tho, it doesn't lie or pretend. Lemmy needs content right now and good bots help with that. They will be taken offline once communities are big enough.

Yes please! No more power to evil corporations. I don't want my server to add interaction to them and help drive their agenda.

I advise against even CONSIDERING a cooperation with META. That alone will make users think you are in it for the gains, that you can be baught. There is no value that META can bring to the Fediverse. And I hope in the future outgoing defederation will be possible too, like blocking certain instances from accessing our activity via the pub. But this request comes from Fediverse, and META will request other things from ActivityPub. They will seem to contribute while muddying the waters. They are a huge monster coming our way and we'd better start raising the walls.

Wow.. You're a special kind of nerd lol. Mad respect to you.

Bruh your real name is on the image

5(8-5) is perfectly fine, it's like saying 5 apples

I was thinking like this when I decided to go into the field, like "we can't just doom the next generation and peace out", now i'm deep in it at the highest level and i'm like "ooh that's why.."

I'll be that guy, and say abomination. The more twisted the better. Like a mouth in my belly, extra arm on my back kind of twisted. I'll learn to enjoy striking terror in my victims' hearts. Afterlife will be dope.

Downloaded today to see after Boost went down. Immediately uninstalled as it made my phone burning hot. Came to Lemmy very quickly.

Unfortunately that won't happen unless Republic of China declares to become an independent state of Taiwan. In their current form, they claim to be the legitimate government of mainland People's Republic of China too. I think it's safe to assume that they won't get their lands back, but it is not up to me to advise govt affairs.
