  The reason behind is not important. The effect is a net positive.

  TBH, I found FB insufferable already in 2008, when I deleted my 1 y/o account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As and European, I sincerely envy you. Death to these crappy social networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Photons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Love this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah, though luck… Amazon (the store) is entirely banned from my house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It works, but it needs a bit of work. In particular, you need a router capable of redirecting all DNS call to the DNS you specify (Asus routers can do that, for instance). Moreover, one should also use a blocklist to forbid the connection to most common DoT/DoH public servers, such as

  I went from pihole, to Adguard Home to (finally) ControlD. I choose to eventually outsource the DNS because I was letting all family without connection when playing with my miniserver :-P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  99.9% of all these “problems” can be solved by using an ablocker DNS and a couple of adb commands (on Android).

  I actually published two papers for my PhD inno time using garbage data collected 3 years before, lol.

  Thank mate. Have a good day ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FediMeteo - The Weather Forecasts comes to the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m stupid. The domain was been blocked by the “newly register domains” filters on of ControlD DNS.

  May be a problem on my end, but the link doesn’t work.

  “You would own nothing and you’d be happy”

  I’m fed up with that bullshit phrase. Please, stop parroting it. And, even if it became true… You’ll be happy, which is more than 90% of humanity could hope for.

  And procrastination, don’t forget procrastination…

  Because we nee that positive stress to be more productive

  No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy Metals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron. the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.

  Makes sense, thanks

  you can’t just remove a word from the context and act as if that doesn’t change the meaning.

  Well, I’m not a native english speaker and the title seemed at least misleading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy Metals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The correct answer here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy Metals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy Metals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d have guessed iron+carbon, instead (so, steel).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavy Metals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s organic iron?

  That’s exactly how my boss wrrtes his papers, lol

  Inexperienced myself also served as a guest editor for one of their journals. Won’t happen again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen it! The bastard!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I only see the double arrows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Notice what, exactly. I still don’t get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clever, clever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it (not a native English speaker). Someone cares to ELI5? Thanks a lot in advance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't stop won't stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just did exactly that in a recently accepted paper. S comma reviewer made us notice that a certain phenomenon was greatly exaggerated by low-res theoretical calculations and that it actually wad barely noticeable. I just added “weakly” to the paragraph describing that phenomenon. Won’t delete shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes, regression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to intentionally add wrong data to our datasets so we could circle it afterwards, declare it “outlying data” and gain the extra points for spotting and documenting it.

  Nice trick!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes, regression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, some students of mines actually put some figure like that in al lab report…
