Wording on second one is word, should be "bottom 15" really.

Personally I've just being using Termux sideloaded in to SSH into anything I need to, with a bluetooth KB and Mouse.

Quest3 straight up supports Mouse+KB as is.

SSHd into my dev box I can pop open neovim in tmux multiplexer and have full access to my entire stack, so at that point it's just full on cyber decking.

Only thing that could be nice is finding out how well the usb port on the Quest3 plays with Serial feeds.

It should work in theory, I just haven't tried it yet, but theoretically android devices can use a usb port as a serial COM1 and there's a handful of decent TTY serial IO apps on Android, any of which could be sideloaded in.

Or... use a TTY in termux maybe? I haven't tried it yet but theoretically it outta work

Disinformation is not the same as Misinformation mate.

It's critical to know the difference.

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who determines what is disinformation?

A jury, for a given case

Who determines that the information is endangering lives?

A jury, for a given case

If Trump wins the election do you want him determining these things?

I wouldn't put it past him to try and do that, knowing him.

But that's not how laws work. Determining if a given case is or is not disinformation would be up to a jury to deliberate, based on facts presented by the lawyers.

As that's how the justice system works. Or us supposed to at least.

And yes, proving it is disinformation is super hard, so the prosecutor must have a pretty iron tight case. You'd likely need witnesses that can attest to the defendant outright admitting to the act, or their behaviors that signal intent, or evidence on their devices, etc.

This is exactly how Libel and Slander / Defamation cases work right now, you have to prove the defendant knew they were lying and or making a story up intentionally which is incredibly hard, cuz the dependant can just go "I really thought that was the truth!"

For example in the Heard v Depp case, they had to pull evidence of her doctoring photos and using makeup to really sell the case and win the jury over.

So it's a huge gap to cross...

But...

If you do cross it, I believe the penalty for it should be pretty severe. Especially if the defendant was:

  1. Endangering people's lives with bad advice And/Or
  2. Posing as an expert without actually being one

IE those people that dress up like a doctor or nurse or etc and then sell extremely bullshit stuff on social media. That should straight up result in some prison time if they gave out genuinely harmful disinformation.

When they lead to harm, they do indeed end.

People often forget the right to free speech isn't prioritized over other human rights in pretty kych every first world country.

Otherwise stuff like Libel and Slander wouldn't make sense legally. As well as hate speech laws.

Your right to free speech comes after peoples rights to safety from harm, and how that's worded varies country by country, but feel free to Google up on it for your specific case.

It's why stuff like advertising laws, misinformation and disinformation laws, etc can work too.

Free speech isn't right #1, which some people just can't seem to wrap their head around I guess. This isn't even new, it's been like that for ages.

How do you think snake oil salesmen could be prosecuted if they were allowed to just say whatever they want?

Why do you think it's possible to have legal repercussions for threatening to shoot up a school, or bomb a plane?

I believe disinformation (not misinformation) that endangered lives should be illegal, yes.

If someone posts a video that purposefully tells people to do something that endangers lives and makes it look good/safe, that person should face penalties of fines or jail time functional of how dangerous their recommendation was.

As for the laptop, I'm not dismissing anything.

It's 100% an entirely unrelated anecdote that was mentioned as a totally seperate and discrete event in the letter, that has nothing to do with the headline.

The article used vague wording to try and jumble the two seperate events together and make it sound like they were one event that occurred, which us extremely shitty journalism.

Stop falling for such obvious bullshit and go read the original source.

I have no issue with governments cracking down on disinformation. It's a huge problem and should carry extremely heavy penalties if it causes harm.

The content in question?

COVID19 disinformation that was getting people killed.

The hunter Biden laptop thing is a secondary tied in unrelated cliff note that has nothing to do with the heading.

But "government pressures social media platform to crack down on COVID19 disinformation spreading" doesn't have that catchy ring to it to get those clicks now does it.

It's heavily because you call out to your SO a lot, and their full name is a mouthful.

Typically words like "babe", "hun", etc are the lowest effort pet name. The "b" percussive is one of the easiest to pronounce.

Usually this is simply to make communication faster and easier, "hun" is way faster to say than whatever their full name is.

This becomes do commonplace that after being together for many years, their full name is reserved for emergencies.

Like if you cut yourself or are hurt or whatever, you instinctually use their full name to grab their attention and alert them. (People alert to their full name way easier and can hear it better)

This results in producing an alarm "wtf?" response when you use it casually, it makes them whip their head up and their brain goes "is something wrong?"

Then when they realize the situation is fine, it becomes a sort of "you spooked me for nothing! Don't!" result.

You effectively reserve the full name only when you are trying to get their attention.

Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you "get it" and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

I could have sworn he did that last time, and Musk dipped out really fast?

Wasn't that a thing?

This... actually might be my new daily driver for note taking.

I am using neorg atm, but the LSP integration is phenomenal.

Re-using symbols navigation, code actions, hoverhints, etc from LSP API for markdown is chess kiss

That's so clever, I gotta take this for a spin.

 

Im looking for some form of self hosted application, ideally dockerized(able), that can connect to and manage an existing database (Im not picky on the DB type, Postgres prolly best though).

However Id like if it manages it via a nice well designed ERD. The closest I have found so far is PgAdmin but unfortunately it's ERD leaves a lot to be desired. It's kinda clunky, and it cant "diff" against your existing database to produce a migration script, all it can do is produce a script that expects you to totally drop the existing DB and re-apply the schema from scratch.

Something like Luna/Moon would be cool, but every example I look up seems to be an application you install locally on your machine and interact with directly, as opposed to a web interface.

If you know of such a tool let me know!

 

I just downloaded the app, its loading posts just fine from lemmy.world, but where on earth do I login?

Clicking on Profile and Submit just tell me they wont work unless I am logged in. Ideally these two CTAs should instead redirect to login if you are not logged in.

I am looking all over this interface and I am either totally blind or completely unable to find the login option, is it buried somewhere or am I crazy?

Edit: Nevermind found it, top of the burger menu, I think maybe the UX of that button could be made a bit more visual, it at first glance with the icon looked like just a title.

Perhaps add a big green + symbol on it so it pops more for adding your account? The dull blue and lemmy icon aren't what I normally would associate typically with a login button, so it totally didn't pop out at me. Legit took me a solid 5+ minutes to notice it D:

 

Right now there seems to be a bit of an issue where if I want to share a link to a lemmy post with a friend, but if we call different servers our "home", even though both of our "homes" have a roughly similar copy of the same post, there currently is no easy way that I perceive for us to navigate to "our" copy of that post.

This becomes further of an issue when it comes to search engine parsing. For example I use lemmy.world as my "home" server, however when I find information on google it may link to the fedia.io or whatever "sources" link.

For reading this is no big deal.

But if I want to respond to the post, I now need to somehow figure out a way to re-route to the lemmy.world copy of that post to make my submission with my user account.

I think ideally what we need to consider is perhaps one of the following:

A: a browser plugin that can automatically detect and redirect to the matching version of the post for your server

B: OAuth support, so I can OAuth login to any lemmy server with my credentials from my "home" server via an OAuth v2 token
