drmoose,

OP probably means 50mg which is standard high concentration nic salts (freebase is most commonly 3mg). People often mistake mg for percentage in vaping.

drmoose,

Mixing vape juice is standard practice though. You can buy nicottine free vape juice everywhere. If you splti 50mg with nic free at 50:50 you have… 25mg! It’s extremely common FYI

drmoose,

I’m not going to argue that greentext is ever real but mixing vape juice and diluting is very common. I vape 3mg freebase 1:2 with nic-free for 1mg juice which has a very tiny nic kick. You can even mix flavors like Cola + Apple or cherry is just delicious :P

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way (www.reuters.com)

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

drmoose,

Are we allowed to celebrate someones death in this lemmy community? If so color me celebrated!

drmoose,

Ah to have natural resource riches and a liberal society!

Zelensky: 'Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war' (kyivindependent.com)

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....

drmoose,

The west is legit afraid of Russia’s collapse because once again someone will have to bail Russia out and it’ll either be another 1988 mess or a new toy for China.

What will happen to Russia once it’s fully in “war economy” and loses the war?

drmoose,

Ok watching the video and where’s the assault? What a clickbait dude

drmoose,

Eh the article makes it sound like its a more serious attack than a retirement home scuffle

Proton Annual Survey: Gentle reminder to kindly ask for a Linux Client for Drive, now. (www.youtube.com)

The link right here goes to 40:02 of Proton’ boss on the TLE channel about Linux support, where a Drive Client is deemed so difficult to achieve that they don’t even have a roadmap for it. Nor is the word “Linux” featured anywhere on proton’s pages about Drive....

drmoose,

Proton seems to have given up on Linux. The bridge keep breaking for me and I need to constantly restart it, the vpn client is still super slow and incredibly clunky. Wouldn’t expect much from these requests tbh

drmoose,

Shadow banning is definitely too much imo. It’s simply unethical no matter how you look at it.

First, it doesn’t do anything to prevent bots. It takes less than a second for a bot to check whether they are shadow banned. It’s simply a tool to bully and gaslight people - just block them. Why these abusive games?

drmoose,

Effectiveness is irrelevant here. Breaking troll’s kneecaps would be very effective too.

This mental manipulation and gaslighting has no place in our society. We’re literally suffering the consequences of this right now.

drmoose,

It’s definitely morally bankrupt imo and we can agree to disagree here as I don’t think this topic can be expanded further.

drmoose,

The rise of alt-right and conspiracies would be a one obvious one.

drmoose,

You don’t see how opaque manipulation fuels conspiracies and paranoia? Come on dude.

drmoose,

You have real stats to back that claim? Because leaving this up to benevolent dictators is kinda silly.

drmoose,

I never said it was a singular cause just a contributor

drmoose,

Nah man it’s completely different when society regulates itself through transparent rules vs opaque ones. It’s more organized and self balancing.

drmoose,

It’s unrelated to the current topic but yes. Terms of service should be both ways. We already do that for user data through GDPR and similar laws and inevitably all users will have more rights including right to transparency.

I find it kinda funny that you argue against this on a platform that was founded because reddit was extremely opaque. We even have a transparent mod log here. So you really need more examples that transparency is good?

drmoose,

This form of propaganda is my pet peeve. It’s not “your posts” as soon as you put something to public you don’t get to eat your cake. It’s out there, you shared it. Don’t share it if you don’t want humanity to ingest and use it.

drmoose,

Fediverse is designed to do exactly that. It’s free flow of information which is a good thing. Don’t let corporations hijack this beautiful concept. We all want information to be free.

drmoose, (edited )

It’s the opposite! There’s legal precedence that scraping public data is 100% legal in the US.

There are few countries where scraping is illegal though like Japan and China. European countries often also have things called “database protection” laws that forbid replicating public databases through scraping or any other means but that has to be a big chunk of overal database. Also there are personally identifiable info (PII) protection laws that protect storing of people data without their consent (like GDPR).

Source: I work with anti bot tech and we have to explain this to almost every customer who wants to “sue the web scrapers” that lol if Linkedin couldn’t do it, you’re not sueing anyone.

Scraping at scale is actually cheaper than buying API access. It’s a massive rising market, try googling “web scraping service” and there are hundreds of services that provide API to scrape any public web page and bypass the blocks for you and render all of the javascript.

drmoose,

Following a developing thread is a very tiny use case I’d imagine and even then you can just scrape the backend API that is used on the public page for the same results as private API.

drmoose, (edited )

yeah but you don’t get to choose that. You give away that right as soon as you participate in public discourse. It’s a zero sum game - either it’s a public for everyone or no one.

Don’t get me wrong, Reddit is a bitch but I think people want to cut their noses off to spite their faces here. It’s much more important to have free information flow than to fuck reddit.

My fear is that people will vote in some really dumb rules to spite AI and restrict free information flow accidentally.

drmoose,

The slippery slope falacy is so passé my dude, get on with it.
