I think that might have moved over from Reddit.

All the mods are written with Lua and run in a sandbox afaik so it isn’t really the same as Minecraft mods

It’s a joke

The people who still don’t know have built up a level of ignorance to miss any kind of message like that.

I tried virt-manager, but I still prefer Virtualbox myself

Inb4 people start calling it a DEI lab

Thanks

I don’t see the point to this. All their other products seem to be targeted at replacing less private, non-E2EE services. Mail, calendar, VPN, and a password manager are excellent choices with no major well integrated E2EE solution. This, not so much.

Also, I don’t really get why they chose Bitcoin, it’s PoW and is much less energy efficient than other alternatives while also not being as private as Monero, nor having things like smart contracts.

Do you happen to know a good alternative to Google’s Clock app on F-Droid?

The issue for the redesign has reached it’s seventh anniversary

biochemical effect, placebo = 0

I’m not sure if the biochemical effects of a placebo are 0.

In conditioning, a neutral stimulus saccharin is paired in a drink with an agent that produces an unconditioned response. For example, that agent might be cyclophosphamide, which causes immunosuppression. After learning this pairing, the taste of saccharin by itself is able to cause immunosuppression, as a new conditioned response via neural top-down control. Such conditioning has been found to affect a diverse variety of not just basic physiological processes in the immune system but ones such as serum iron levels, oxidative DNA damage levels, and insulin secretion. Recent reviews have argued that the placebo effect is due to top-down control by the brain for immunity and pain. Pacheco-López and colleagues have raised the possibility of “neocortical-sympathetic-immune axis providing neuroanatomical substrates that might explain the link between placebo/conditioned and placebo/expectation responses”. There has also been research aiming to understand underlying neurobiological mechanisms of action in pain relief, immunosuppression, Parkinson’s disease and depression.

We can ask and maybe get their first comment in the process. !rosschie@lemdro.id

I’ve checked and they posted an article from “ibtimes” 26 (!!) times

Some further analysis shows that all 3 are using the same name server provider (AWS) and have the same registrant name (a company called PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC). Techtimes and HNGN are also both hosted at Google Cloud, but ibtimes is hosted at AWS. Making it seem like the account is attempting to increase backlinks to their sites. But it could also just be a coincidence of course.

Edit 2024-08-16: They posted another article from IBNTIMES.

The problem is that you can’t tell if it’s truly working due to the placebo effect.

It works super well, and most patients taking it in double blind trials find it relieves headache pain considerably. Why is it a bad thing, to the point of rejecting it as a treatment, that the patient feels that the pill is working very well and has concluded on their own that this is probably not a placebo?

The problem is that it’s not a double blind trial because the participants can tell whether they are on it. The placebo effect is also a problem because there is no real control group.

Lemmy.world has kept open signups open during every large Reddit exodus while many others didn’t. It’s also decently reliable, has decent moderation and is well known. The reason why people didn’t move after is probably because instance migration on Lemmy isn’t possible* so they just stick with what they use.

*Yes I don’t consider exporting/importing followed communities a migration

You can only export and import followed communities afaik
