Powderhorn, to technology in New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion

I’m not a Reddit exponent by any means, but I’ve yet to run into an issue using the site on Mullvad at the router level. There’s unfortunately communities there that can offer useful information not easily found by search engines.

I think I need a macro for that.

I honestly don’t know which one(s) are effective at it. NoScript seems to do a pretty good job, which was an unexpected bonus when I first got it.

Oof. Sorry! I forget my suite of extensions masks paywalls sometimes.

More incremental progress that feels less impactful than it really is. I got my solar going yesterday after lots of false starts (including panels flying off the roof while driving owing to … the wrong washers), and this morning, I got all my belongings out of the warehouse at my old job short of an 8-cube Kallax that will require a ton of organizing in the van to be able to fit.

Some days, I’m immensely productive, while others, I’m too weighed down by yet another job search to be remotely able to make progress on that front. My entire family (I got an unexpected email from my uncle/godfather yesterday) is utterly unsupportive of my firm belief that I should be able to have a job that doesn’t demean me and pays enough to start getting out of the debt that piled up during my last job search.

I had to give up housing while employed full time because I can’t survive on $21/hour with a lease. The solution is not another $21/hour paint-by-numbers bullshit job, ffs.

It seems everyone born before 1970 thinks the job market hasn’t changed since the '90s and thus a grueling job search is a personal failing, not a sign that the economy no longer works for a wide swath of people not in sales. I want to make the product or make the product better or make the workflow better so that your salespeople have something worth selling. But that brings in “no income” and is seemingly no longer needed.

Powderhorn, to technology in twitter is so broken ... it returns a 404 when you share links
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

It speaks volumes that people are so ensconced in their worldviews that sharing links on the open Web to sites that require an account to view content on causes zero cognitive dissonance.

I’d be very curious to see the Venn diagram of people who see no problem spamming the web like this and people who complain about links to paywalled sites.

Powderhorn, to science in Generating Power On Earth From The Coldness Of Deep Space
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

This was a very accessible read as a nonacademic. Really interesting to read how these technologies work and were developed.

Passive cooling is a much-needed area of study as the planet warms, and it stands to reason further development there could spark additional discoveries on the electrical front.

Powderhorn, to technology in Amazon's Fire TV is Adding Full-Screen Video Ads That Play When You Start Your Fire TV
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

I picked up a 4K Fire Stick a few years back, connected it to my Wi-Fi and then watched the network activity from the router with little surprise. Tech companies sell ad-delivery devices with a nominal end-user benefit.

Once NUCs became powerful and affordable enough to use as a dedicated HTPC/server, anything with a proprietary OS made no sense, even taking portability into consideration. This is just the latest example of why.

Powderhorn, to diy in How to get cigarette smell out of my apartment?
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

My ex and I were pack-a-day smokers (out on the porch every 45 minutes to an hour, depending on activity). First hole in new pajamas was a rite of passage. Sometimes took a few months, but it always happened.

Powderhorn, to foss in Wavemaker Novel Planning and Writing Software - One of the most impressive creative writing apps I've tried, and it's free!

Sounds like an SBC …

Powderhorn, to chat in how's your week going, Beehaw
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

Just got down from the roof after removing my remaining solar panels to swap out washers that turned out to be too small to actually hold them to the Z brackets at highway speed. Lost three of 12 at some point last week. Eight are now back up, and the three replacements arrive tomorrow. Hopefully solar will be live and my belongings out of the warehouse I used to work at by the end of the week. Glacial progress with regressions seems to be November’s theme.

If you think you know what I should care about, you’ve just lost me.

Powderhorn, to foss in Best F-Droid frontend for Android TV?
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

Having played this game in the past, the solution I found was getting an N95/N100 box and then using KDE Connect to use my phone as a remote. Bonus: all available desktop extensions to shape your experience.

For someone who doesn’t care, you put an awful lot of time and effort into talking about how you don’t care.

Regardless, as mentioned by others, this does not provide license to belittle others for their choices. I don’t get the whole furry thing, but as others choosing that hobby doesn’t affect me, meh. The right has plenty on the outrage buffet before furries enter the picture, so their existence and interconnectedness with the queer community doesn’t move the needle the way you’re claiming.
