@GustavinoBevilacqua pastebin funziona per file di testo. Binario non sono sicuro.
Cosa intendi per affidabile?
@LaVi Beh, io ho avuto una discussione con Massimo Fini, che ha scritto che grazie all'aiuto della mafia, gli Americani hanno preso la Sicilia in 2 giorni.
Quando gli ho fatto notare che questo fosse falso e che questo genere di errori portano alla disinformazione mi ha risposto con un pippotto su quanto siano stati valorosi gli Italiani in guerra e, cito testualmente per non snaturare:
"Che la Sicilia sia stata presa in un mese piuttosto che in due giorni mi pare poco rilevante ... il giornalismo, come dice la parola stessa, è necessariamente superficiale. ... il lettore, che è il nostro vero padrone come diceva Montanelli (conosce questo signore?) non può essere inondato di dati"
E boh, io credo che ormai leggere un giornale non abbia più alcun valore intrinseco: chiunque può scrivere qualunque stronzata e, fintantoché non scredita qualcuno, non gli succede niente.
@0ciX_reloaded@mastodon.bida.im Sei stata fortunata allora!

@neauoire Thanks, very nice guide. Maybe I'll try sprouting some lentils.

Everyday we have freshly sprouted legumes. We love it because we can carry them dried and rehydrate them months later. Today's mixtape is lentils, radish and fenugreek.

But is this correlation or causation? It seems almost like Black folk are suggesting that police activity *causes* more murders to happen?
We can test this (and we have!) by seeing what happens if you go into a neighborhood with a lot of murders, and get police to stop brutalizing innocent Black people, and focus only on stopping murders.
Result: You can end a murder wave in a city by getting cops to focus on murders instead of being evil.
Operation Ceasefire works.

@ex_06 Qualcosa bisogna fare, ma comunque la produzione di metanolo da corrente elettrica invece che da biosintesi mi sembra una pessima idea.

The carbon footprint of NFTs on Ethereum wasn’t looking great before The Merge, but it was nothing compared to on-chain Bitcoin NFTs
Yesterday Bitcoin mining company Luxor mined the largest block ever, containing almost exactly 4MB of data. Only 63 transactions could fit into the block, as the NFT used up the rest of the available space
The carbon footprint: ~888 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of taking a flight from New York to Tokyo and back - 466 times

@anjou I use RSS feeds every day. Most of my internet readings outside of my job I do through RSS.
I use selfoss as it allows me to have the articles available anywhere, with a nice web interface and phone application.
Most websites I'm interested in provide an RSS feed, that is generally blogs and that sort of stuff.
If you search my profile, just the other day I found a website which offers the service to turn Facebook pages into RSS feeds.
As much as it is nice, I only keep essential stuff in my reader: I want to read pretty much everything that gets into my feed. This means I have to think a little bit up front to decide whether to add a site to my feeds, but while reading I don't have to think about what to read and what to discard; from time to time I prune my list of feeds removing stuff I'm not interested into anymore.

In this quest for independence from centralized social media, I'm wondering...does anyone still use RSS?
For any of you who do, what is the experience of using RSS in 2023? Are there any RSS apps that are pleasant to use? Sites (other than big content publishers) that publish a feed?
(Please share for visibility if you have followers who might have experience to share.)
@TheStrugglingScientists Arrive late and leave early; pretend you've got some business to do in some other place and you're going to work.
The sad part is that I pretend this to be true, but I actually have to go around doing stuff...

@hasmis If you’re making use of it, I believe that 20$ a month is quite an affordable price.
I’m just experimenting with it and that wouldn’t justify the expense, but I’m sure there’s plenty of people who’ll find it a nice option.
@tripu Exactly the same reason why people need a 10.000€ watch

@openwarfare I mean, this is obviously unfeasible; but seeing how much money the scientific community is just throwing into the garbage is ashaming.
Getting that grant money is difficult!
@naciketas In certe situazioni, vale la pena di togliersi le cuffie ed iniziare una chiacchierata con il prossimo; magari poi ci fate una risata assieme.
