The establishment is really effective at divide and conquer.

They will ban Catholic content, Catholics complain. They ban Palestinian opinions, Palestinians complain. They ban feminists, and feminists complain.

People need to unite and recognize that we can debate and disagree about all sorts of things, but the real danger to freedom is authoritarian elites who think they have some sort of legitimate right to control debate and censor, ban, harass, spy on, etc. people who contest that.

@bonifartius no doubt, speaking from experience, Cuban doctors are great and indeed as you mentioned they tend to have a good reputation around the world. I actually have some theories for why that's the case but that's prob for another thread.

I was merely pointing out that for example when it comes to literacy, mortality, crime and other relevant rates. You can see that the "official" numbers often vary wildly from everyday reality depending on what the government wants at that time and place. You want to put armed national guards in places where people oppose or protest you? Say that there is a high crime rate in that area to justify heavier policing of protestors. You have gangs terrorizing people and don't want to start a police-gang war? Say that that area is completely safe so police don't need to go there, etc.

Also, as you said I'm aware some of this stuff happens in the "west" too but instead of being the government in control of policies you have companies acting through lobbying.

@bonifartius it's worth pointing out that often times when Americans look at Cuban & Venezuelan stats on things like healthcare they fail to see that those numbers have been cooked up to make the government look good. If you actually speak to regular folks from these two nations you'll realize this is far from the truth.

My thinkpad's seems to be drastically overheating and depleting all power very quickly. This is not due to CPU load or anything like that (it happens without even running apps). Any idea why a battery would suddenly start draining itself so quickly and losing most energy in the form of heat??

@freemo @Electronics use it to rig many lights in your house and make it so that when somebody walks past a hidden motion sensor shit starts flickering like it's a hunted house and play those "creepy wind" sounds. Invite superstitious people to your house, record their reaction, put it on the internet.

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

For anyone who still has devices with old AA, AAA, C, D, or 9V type batteries in it I highly recommend you move over to the USB chargable Li-ion type of the same format.

Most of those devices dont work with traditional rechargable batteries like NiMH because the voltage is a bit lower. Even if they do work they tend to last only a short period of time because as they discharge the voltage drops even further. So your device will often die even with 70% of charge still in those batteries.

With the newer USB rechargeable Li-ion type batteries of the same form factor, however, you have a drop-in replacement that doesnt have those issues. They basically are a LI-ion battery with a built in charger but more importantly with a DC-Dc converter to keep the voltage fixed at the desired voltage (1.5V or 9V) for the entire life of the battery. So they work in any device that they can fit in and lasts a long time as they deliver 100% of their power before cutting out (at which point it drops from 1.5V directly to about 0V).

The only downside is if your device reports a battery percentage then it will report 100% battery right up until it hits 0.

Anyway I replaced all my devices with batteries like this and they last longer than regular batteries in some cases (especially with 9V)... so I am sold!

@olamundo @freemo
To the people of QOTO.org (and anyone else who can help):

Can you suggest me good search tools for scientific articles?
I often want to cite a post I've read but don't find with common search engines (Qwant, SearX, etc).

I want to find, for example, some publications by Nature© that point to devastation as a great risk of causing future pandemics.

I also always end up needing serious articles that disprove the use of Hydroxchloroquine as a treatment for Covid. (I should have already created a file with references, seeing how often they are needed)

Thanks in advance!

@freemo midori: according to the translation I found it means either green or greeness or greenery. So, I guess that's explains why the character has green hair (funny how Japanese pick names in anime) but it doesn't explain the name for the notebook brand.

@freemo that brand name reminds me of Izuku Midoriya so now I'm wondering if that word somehow means something related to strength in Japanese.

Please, all Android developers, make a system that can fake the contact list, files and photos, location and phone ID and other information that apps usually require (but don't need).
Android only lets you disable those things, but that's not it - some apps don't work without consent.

All I could find was #xposed and #xprivacy, but it doesn't seem to be evolving much and it's definitely not for casual users. I'd love to have a system that pretended to be Android, but be based on #lineageos & #OpenGapps and include those xprivacy features by default.

To be honest, I'm completely fascinated that no one is working on this! So many developers and nobody cares about privacy?

@freemo okay, I will put something in writing this weekend although I have no doubt this would take a few decades at least to really start taking off
