  • I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.

    It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.

    There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.

    Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I’d say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren’t that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.

    Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.



  • Well the battery in my phone lasted longer than my laptop. The difference : one stayed a long time at 100% the other one is constantly pliged and unplugged with 100%-20%-80%…, but also battery tech and management would be different (maybe).

    Letting the battery at 100% stresses it and does degrade it with time, charging and discharging also degrades it. But it would be better for the battery health to keep it in the 80-20%.

    However if it is easier to let the device plugged in, maybe check if it can run without a battery, and if not maybe it can be changed? Tho not sure if you can find replacement in some years.

    Tho maybe the battery station could also be designed to stay at high charge? It isn’t the easiest thing to know how it works and how it is designed.



  • I have no real idea, only suppositions :

    (I’m not treating Ukraine as the enemy, this is a full supposition).

    The real hard part is costs and time. If the soldiers pushed the front lines, and there is no risk of enemy attacks behind the line, there can be multiple things in the way :

    The terrain may not always be good for fast travel. With difficult terrains or mud and water.

    And because front lines aren’t perfect, there is always the risk of enemy attack behind, destroying supplies.

    Now why exactly Russia did not send supplies to their soldiers, no real idea. They only know what they chose to do.

    Ukraine is huge, giant. Going up to the front lines takes time and money. And well I very much guess that Russia just sent soldiers without care, maybe even now they doing that. They underestimated Ukrakne’s defenses and the support they get from other countries.




  • What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

    And if someone who didn’t get such eduction thinks they have the tool to distinguish between false and true, they are delusional. The more verified knowledge someone has, the more that person develops their ability to manage information and find if it’s bad or good. Tho that doesn’t mean that everyone has equal training or capacity in doing so.

    If college is employed as a synonym of university, then kinda yes? Tho for myself I wasn’t really trained into getting the right sources. However the knowledge gained from the years of eduction allowed me to somehow manage a bit the informations.

    However, I don’t think I would have been able to really avoid bad information without getting the university training, where I also learned sources and reputable sources.

    Even now it can be sometimes hard to get a good source to check. And often for random info I’ll forget on the Web I don’t even bother.
