olelele··on New Mexico court orders Meta to pay $567m over harms to children’s mental health

when the main interface steeulters even adults toward the slot machine interface endless brainrot scrolling I think intervention is due. I used to be able to remove the short videos from youtube but that function is gone. For a while it was "hide for 30 days". It's pretty obvious that the addictive quality of the ultra short slop videos that is prioritized these days.

Digital feudalism. Musk is building a city where he can prohibit worker organizing. Joe Hill died for nothing.

Move fast and break literally everything. I am so depressed by what the internet has become. Such potential only to become monopolist behemoth bullshit.

olelele··on Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science

This take makes me profoundly sad. Too much culture war and to little empathy.

olelele··on When A.I. is a member of the family

I think you have it the wrong way around. The gross product of humans talking about themselves and those around them and gossiping is huge. What else is Twitter really?

The fact that Roger Stone & Trump haven’t faced consequences for jan 6 still amazes me. Edit: spelling

olelele··on Designing and assembling my first PCB

I made an old school linear psu for my arp 2600 clone like that. I etched w something else :)

And the American terror bombings of the north were the heaviest in history.

He's talking about highly educated doctors taking jobs in private clinics instead of working in public hospitals for less.

olelele··on Modern decor may be straining people's brains

I spent most of my adult life in Berlin and most places here it’s due to 100% ignorance. Tearing out everything and putting in euro pallets as furniture + packing the place w drunk ppl was the general modus operandi. Acoustic treatment doesn’t have to be expensive.

I’m sorry but the current NK regime and the Kim family consolidating power is in large part due to American aggression indochina. The Korean War was more or less genocide on the part of the Americans and history would be different without Douglas MacArthur…

So many bars & restaurants don't care enough about this.

olelele··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth

That's a fine take in my book. The cultleader vibe and endless fanboys..

olelele··on We charge $10k a week to delete AI-generated code

In my grandmas cottage I found an old handmade mechanical screwdriver that operates from manual pressure. That’s what got replaced by today’s power tools.

Nice domain name! I currently live on the wrong side of the Odra and cross it on my bike. Gorgeous areas and polish food is so much better than German :)

olelele··on Fixing analog audio on the $2.58 HDMI-to-VGA adapter

there are transformers and transformers.

A lundahl or murata, the kind used in Studer, Neve & Yamaha mixer preamps can cost a whole lot.

There are pretty decent cheap ones from china these days too.

olelele··on Why skilled workers come to Germany and then leave again

skin color does not equal race. The US is really weird to me in that regard.

olelele··on Why skilled workers come to Germany and then leave again

I moved to Germany 15 years ago from Scandinavia. Integrating here is really tough. The bureaucratic systems are very opaque and small mistakes in paperwork can cause a lot of problems...

olelele··on Medieval-style fortifications are back in the Sahel

The key point is what the eventual peace agreement entails.

I have a feeling it will be very similar to the „terrible Iran deal“ that Trump shredded in his first term. Is that a win for the US or Iran?

Also this should work.

olelele··on Fixing analog audio on the $2.58 HDMI-to-VGA adapter

Got it. In my studio I have mostly unbalanced cables but the gear is all good quality so I never had any issues.

I think there are ICs for that specific purpose? If I understood your second paragraph correctly.

What kind of mixer do you use?

If it has balanced xlr inputs a DI will completely eliminate the earth hum. That the signal is dropped to mic level doesn’t matter much as the impedance is correct, the connection balanced and the mixer preamp designed for the purpose. // I am somewhat professional sound tech :)

The art world is the same. Plus all the rich nepo babies who put on their own shows and can afford to lose money their entire life..

>It's a real privatize profits/benefit, socialize losses/costs type setup.

Just like all developments since collective ideas went out of fashion...
