As much as Nicki Minaj is a wanker, this is a really conservative argument.

Suddenly permanent residents opinions don't matter, despite politics affecting them?

The only way out of this madness is international working class solidarity.

Attack your enemies on their ideology, class position and viewpoints, not on their immigration status ffs.

Engineering references that specify formulas with variables with specified units, instead of constants with defined units, are a travesty.

I refer to Crane Technical Paper 410 in this instance.

Why would I want

ΔP = 32000 μ L v/d^2 (for laminar flow)

You'd expect this to be a normal formula, which you do your own dimensional analysis, but no. Units are specified. But not even on the same page, no no, on a "nomenclature" page you have to know to look for.

ΔP in Pa

μ in cP

L in m

v in m/s

d in mm

When I could have

ΔP=32 μ L v/D²

and YOU use whatever units you want.

Hell I could even put imperial units in here if I were a masochist. Very upsetting.

Engineering textbooks/technical papers need to find Pure Math Jesus.

Formulas with hidden units? Not even once.

Crane TP 410. How could you?

I really want a Facebook (the old Facebook timeline) replacement, but end-to-end encrypted, and decentralised so there's longevity.

Edit for clarity: I'm looking for a way to share things online, end-to-end encrypted to a wide-audience that knows you but doesn't necessarily know each other.

This is why messaging apps don't fulfil this requirement, and chat rooms (like Matrix) also don't fit.


I love Lemmy, I like the idea of Mastodon (twitter-like sites just aren't my thing. ActivityPub rocks. However, none of them are encrypted.

PixelFed is neato, but I don't plan sharing my personal photos with the whole of the internet, which seems to be the only choice with ActivityPub.

Signal and other encrypted messaging apps are great, but are for direct messaging. Where are the encrypted social media apps?

Matrix is cool and all, but it's aimed at groups. Like discord / MS teams replacement.

Someone told me about Futo Circles, which seems to tick all the boxes and built on top of Matrix, but it's currently abandoned.

Are there any other alternatives? My wallet is open, I would very much like to use such an app. I am no programmer, so sadly cannot take on the mantle of continuing the Futo Circles project.

I'm aware of how to set up chat backups on Android, but this only makes local backups that you have to manually upload or copy.

I'm trying to find a solution where I can set and forget backups to the cloud.

My requirements are:

  1. It doesn't require me exposing the rest of my file system/cloud storage to a third party app without scoping (filesync works, but doesn't meet this criteria).
  2. It can upload directly to a cloud service

So far, no dice :/

Is there some workaround?

P.S. my potential solution is move Signal to my Shelter Work profile, where I do have filesync installed, but then I won't have contacts access, which is a slight pain (and because I don't want to create contacts in my work profile).

Here's a unpopular opinion: invading your neighbours being wrong aside, I feel like eating dog meat isn't morally any worse than eating a pigs or cows. (Assuming they're not someone's pet).

I'm vegetarian, and feel it's unhelpful and judgy to get mad at people for eating meat, I just think people give countries where dogs are eaten way too much crap. To the point I even think it's subtly racist to judge other cultures for eating dog meat (again, I think we certainly should judge Russia and North Korea for invading).

Dogs are cute, but heck cows are too, so like don't get riled up about people eating one, if you happy eating the other.

In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

I know this is a joke, but a bad dog is so much more of a problem than a bad cat. (Not counting feral animals)

Bad cat: angry, wants you to leave them the fuck alone, scratches you at the slightest provocation

Bad dog: hyperactive or jumps all over you or barks at you, can seriously injure or kill you.

Our society takes for granted that you can take your dog anywhere (in Australia at least), and I don't think enough emphasis is placed on the fact if you can't 100% control your dog, don't bring it anywhere near people.

The number of people saying "oh he's friendly" as their dog scares someone afraid of dogs because they're jumping up on them is stupid.

This society values dogs more, and I just don't get it.

It must be globally, I'm in Australia. What utter bullshit, since I would have never known if it weren't for my NetGuard firewall app.

Requests the app made today.

This is my phone I own outright, by the way. I don't have any creditors.

Update for those curious:

I echo the dissatisfaction people have with this and won't be donating again. This is Lemmy.world not Lemmy.(we need a safe space from the communists)

The fact you were upset about Beehaw's defederation but then turn around and do this is massive hypocrisy.

This is you imposing your personal ideology on your users. The fact you lead with those 3 "concerning statements" tells us everything. You only like free speech when it aligns with your own beliefs.

Shame.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 69 points 3 years ago

I think this logic is silly.

Employers don't own you, so witholding wages for services you provided isn't stealing. Getting a haircut and not paying isn't stealing.

I think the better justification is: rights holders make it a pain in the arse to access content affordably, so fuck you, just going to steal it.

Because of the Reddit migration, 196 is coming up in my Lemmy feed a lot, I have no idea what it is (because you haven't made a description).

This could be your chance to gain more community members if you update your description
