I mean, if you consider how much a study costs to get to the point of publication, the publication costs are peanuts in comparison.

100% spot on. I did this for many years, and the sysadmin stuff was actually a fun little hobby. There were many seasons in terms of deliverability. I only ran personal email, never a list or anything like that, my ip wasn’t on any black list, but from time to time emails wouldn’t be delivered, or they would start going to peoples spam folders. I’d get fixed what I could using google/outlook/whatever’s tools or reach out to the mail admin address. Many times deliverability would be fixed, but months later the cycle would repeat. Or worse, I’d get silently and suddenly banished to spam. There’s nothing more you can do about that (yes I had all the things to prevent it).
Ended up moving my mx records to fastmail and using them for email. It’s not much, if any, more cost than running a vps for email (well, if you only consider one user), but I’ve had drastically improved deliverability.
Long story short, email is terribly broken, but it’s a good idea to have your own domain so that you own your address.

Yeah, but it’s important to point out that the reason for that is that your data is encrypted at rest and they cannot decrypt it for you and your vanilla imap client.
They do have a decryption app for desktop that allows you to use your desktop email client.

The thing is, “research” doesn’t speak, humans do. If a tree falls in the woods… and so on. Part of being a scientist is communicating what you’ve done, otherwise no one else will know. It’s a skill that has to be developed in some more than others, and it was a key part of my training as a scientist. I don’t really like that part as much, but I do it because it’s what makes my work have any impact.

While I agree that the fingerprinting data is interesting, on iOS, TikTok doesn’t require any of those permissions as indicated. Some of the articles state that they are required, but they aren’t. As far as I know it isn’t possible, without a zero day of some sort, to access camera, sound, contacts, etc without explicitly granting those permissions.
That said, that is a lot of data, and for those that can be linked back to an individual. And I’m sure most people are less careful with permissions. The fingerprinting data is clearly powerful, and I find it extremely fascinating, since there is VERY limited input and such effective output.

Sources on any of this? Perhaps it works differently on Android.
The main thing which you miss though is that it has “the algorithm” down pat. While it knows I’ll watch cooking videos and videos of people yelling at cops, it doesn’t bother trying to show me things about Trump, etc. it is keeping me in my own custom echo chamber. I have no idea how it works so well.
Now imagine someone hell bent on believing things like the pizza molester stories or Jan 6th alt histories. This is a very effective tool for radicalizing people and reinforcing the “truth” they already suspect. It’s easier to divide people based on preconceived notions than trying to convince people of something new.

And on the website it’s like a $1000 laptop. And it still falls apart one year later.

I switched from hosting my own mail for close to 10 years to using Fastmail. The webmail client is much better than Rainloop and Roundcube. I like it better than Gmail TBH. I’m very happy with my decision, but I’m only hosting for me.
I also considered Proton, but it doesn’t satisfy a couple of your requirements. It is a good value though, and the privacy features are tops.
The best value I’ve seen by far is Microsoft 365. The webmail for Outlook is quite good and you can host your own client if you want and connect with IMAP. It’s especially a good value if you use the family plan. Bonus is you also get MS Office and a TB of storage. Downside: Microsoft. But 2024 MS isn’t the same as 2005 M$.

lol, what world are you living in? Yes, it’s better than retail, but for high skill jobs (which the government desperately needs) these things are not true.
- Random layoffs—sure, as long as you’re the right kind of employee
- Vacation is accumulated at an embarrassingly slow rate, especially for newer employees.
- pension. Right, but there are similarly no stock options or significant performance bonuses you find in the private sector
- you’d be surprised at the work schedules for government employees who aren’t admin assistants
Pay is so far behind still it isn’t funny.

The best keyboard I found to use as an iPad as a laptop replacement is the Logitech Combo Touch. There are different ones for iPad, Air, and Pro. The keyboard and trackpad both feel great to work with and you can pull the iPad off if you want to use it as a tablet. On the plus side, staying in a case protects it (and it has a sturdy kick stand), but the biggest downside is that it adds a lot of weight. You’d just have to feel it to decide. I also bought a generic magnetic folio, which I use about half the time.

Call me crazy, but I’ve never liked store bought pesto
Anyone have a recommendations for non plastic cones for pour over? I usually use one like [this](https://a.co/d/40vsdBY) (#2) for individual cups. I also use [this larger one](https://a.co/d/eg8tzwI) (#6) to make coffee directly into my large thermal coffee carafe when people are coming over. Being able to sit on top of the carafe is a great feature. It’s been almost 10 years since I bought these so wondering what else people are using now.

Pretty neat. This isn’t my area of expertise but I’ve been digitizing some of my families old home movies. The quality is obviously not great, so it’s interesting to hear there may be a reasonable way to improve them.

This will really be amazing if there are some decent tenants. So many developments go with “safe” but bland options that have no commitment to the community.
Apologies if I’ve missed this, but it hasn’t popped out to me. Are there shortcuts one can use on a connected keyboard/trackpad that one can use to go back from a post to a community, for example? Like Cmd-[ or Cmd-⬅️? Or swipe with 2 fingers? If not, can this be a feature request? Cheers guys and keep up the amazing work!

Unfortunately, the ghost bikes in my area usually partially block the sidewalk and/or impede maintenance of the infrastructure that is there, making it less safe for everyone. Wish they would stop or find another way.

Has anyone benchmarked how much qemu bogs down an AMD64 container running on a Mac M1 vs in its natural architecture? Just starting to ensure that containers will run on a Mac and there are so many weird things. I’m wondering how much effort it’s worth to try to build a whole separate version of each container in ARM vs having a single AMD64 for each.
I had started a thread using my lemmy.world account on a community on lemmy.ml. Now, during the recent world downtime, I continued with my lemm.ee username. When lemmy.world came back up I can see my comments when I’m logged in through lemm.ee but not when logged in to lemmy.world. My question is with ActivityPub, do comments always sync? Or is is more that if you miss the original payload from a sister instance, those comments don’t ever arrive? Or is there a set number of retries (similar to email)? Thanks for helping understand!
Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs. I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config. Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?
So Atlanta, it’s been a while since I’ve branched out, and we need such a post on Lemmy…. What are your favorite date night restaurants? Can be expensive or not. Established or hot right now?
Whether you’re new to Lemmy, a refugee from /r/twinpeaks or whatever, welcome to the community!
For folks who move from /r/Atlanta which place will we use? This one or https://lemmy.ml/c/atlanta ? Thoughts?
