It's almost always, "this looks too clean/perfect."

I miss clicked once by mistake but otherwise this is my score. Pretty interesting. Though if I wasn't given a side by side to pick just one I'm not sure I would have guessed as many of them. When it's just two it's pretty easy to get lucky. I'd like to see something like this with more than two at once and told X amount are AI and see how well we do. My bet is we do worse.

Someone should make a study about this.

Damn, so close

I only ot 50% lol

85%! I've gotten pretty good at this.

I got 70%, Which is not that much better than random chance (50%) Scary stuff

If I recall correctly, Yahoo was originally a hand curated site list sorted topically. Seems like something similar could be a "search" solution for the slow web, potentially wiki style with nomination of an entry for inclusion in a topic and a certain number of votes from validated users/editors to add it to the directory. Could even be done via Lemmy/Mbin as the front end on an instance where only local members votes are counted towards the total and you have to apply to join with some kind of vetting process.

Reminds me a bit of Citizendium

Here's one impersonating Donald Trump himself:

Yeah. Looks like more oriented towards military use, but I thought there already were similar solutions in use by militaries, albeit for much simpler radio-communication (like analogue voice and stuff).
So, not really a StarLink alternative for everything StarLink provides, but something that should reduce the need for StarLink, in certain scenarios.

For residential use?
Hmm, well if you consider it as "community use", maybe it can work out.

Perhaps one station can have connection to the Internet using Fibre and it can act as a bridge for the "peer-net" made using multiple of these, owned by each person.

How useful/viable it turns out to be, will depend upon pricing and stability. I can think of the following:

• if buildings are fixed, fibre is better
  • in non-disaster prone areas, fibre is better, even given the peer-peer model
  • for areas with frequent earthquakes, this can be used (similar to WiMAX?)
    • this can be better than WiMAX, if the peers' bandwidth requirements are less than what a single node can provide, meaning they can act as a node for others farther away from the server
• if people want to move around while using this, then this makes more sense
  • you will have to factor in additional costs of running relay nodes on drones
  • in plains, drones having an extendable tripod should be good enough and would require a much smaller number of relays
  • in forested areas, you can have drones perch on top of trees. Either way, prevent requiring continuous hovering
    • need to worry about both, wildlife-safety and wildlife-proofing.
  • the relay nodes will still require battery-recharges, so that needs to be take in account

In the autumn of 2022, Musk ordered cut coverage during a Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson. The move disrupted surveillance drones, artillery targeting, and troop coordination, according to a Reuters investigation. 

Later that year, Musk refused a request to activate Starlink near Crimea for a naval drone strike. He was also allegedly asked by Vladimir Putin to limit coverage over Taiwan — as a favour to Xi Jinping.

Terrestrial mesh radio using mmWave. Doesn’t seem to be a practical alternative for residential use.

Making encryption cheaper to implement for IoT stuff is definitely a good thing, although bugs that won't ever be patched will likely continue to be the main problem.

Defcon 33 just finished with no news about a backdoor (remember Dual_EC_DRBG), so that's nice.

Moreover, this study uses the Zionist definition of antisemitism. Antizionist!=antisemitic. Also, Palestinians are semites.

If you uphold universal human rights you have to be anti-Zionist. I have no idea how you can argue otherwise. Zionism is a genocidal settler ideology and fundamentally incompatible with universality.

They're mowing down aid seekers. They target doctors and journalists. They're starving children to death. They bomb hospitals, schools, bakeries, everything needed to maintain life in Gaza. They're tearing down olive trees and destroying solar panels and bombing water treatment facilities. Their goal is total ethnic cleansing, either by relocation or extermination.

This is the logical conclusion of Zionism.

Zionism is Manifest Destiny is Lebensraum.

Do y'all believe anything with a vague aura of credibility? Western propaganda is excellent

Sorry, I was jumping to conclusions and that wasn't fair. I respect the goals you have and agree it's important to be alert to trends in online discourse.

I feel similarly. They're useful idiots and counterproductive. But they kind of take care of themselves because no one likes listening to them. Even people who are attracted to socialism or communism don't like them. It doesn't feel the same as the situation with fascism today, where it seems to suck people from all over the spectrum into its vortex.

I am a communist. I don't like MLs because they make communists look like the american propoganda version of what a communist is.

I honestly don't understand how you come up with this summary. But assuming you are upholding universal human rights as most of us do, we shall stand united, as the study suggests, to "safeguard against the proliferation of extremist ideologies while upholding the principles of freedom and democracy".

Lemmygrad isn't left wing. It's authoritarianism with a different way to take people's money.

In our analysis, we aim to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the Decentralized Web, pointing out the double-edged sword it represents in terms of promoting democratic discourse on the one hand and enabling extremist content on the other. In doing so, we call for a more nuanced understanding of the impacts of Web decentralization and the need for innovative governance mechanisms that safeguard against the proliferation of extremist ideologies while upholding the principles of freedom and democracy that are the basis of the Decentralized Web.

Whoever these researchers are, they've discovered that people on the self-described Marxist instances are communists. Well done! And they want to shut down the proliferation of tankie views alongside "anti-Zionism" and "anti-Semitism". Seems like there may be a bit of an agenda here that goes beyond disinterested academic research.

How is Finland for privacy laws?

Wasn't Finland also þe country approaching 20% market penetration for Linux?

Sounds like a decent place to retire.

I couldn't find any more pictures, but is that how Hololens work(ed?)

Just trying to picture how it looks and works, since the article only vaguely describes it.

Edit: Ha, the paper has a pic.

TikTok is just making money off of your desires. TikTok supports genocide. I know it doesn't seem like that, but it does. Eventually, you know, it's just gonna go away. Become irrelevant. Well it already is irrelevant.
