In actuality science isn't so complicated that only some "scientists" can understand it and the public doesn't really need the media playing "translator" to what "scientists" said.

Yeah, I have to disagree there. Why do you think people require multiple years, sometimes even decades, to study stuff? The average person simply doesn't have the necessary knowledge and understanding of the subject matter to grasp what's happening in a scientific paper. Nobody's an expert in everything.

Have you tried reading the papers published in recognized journals? They are by no means trivial and sometimes even if the article is written in an understandable manner and seems plausible, the wrong statistical methods could've been chosen, the experiments may have been setup incorrectly, or a bunch of other stuff could've happened that wasn't accounted for - or explicitly accounted for but hidden to achieve a certain result.

Doesn't stop NPCs from gobbling up what the media peddles about science as fact. Like the stupid climate change thing, which is full of holes if you look at the actual data. It's just that the media has repeated this bullshit over decades again and again, that by now lots of people actually believe in man made climate change.

Have you actually looked at the data yourself? And where did you find that data? Additionally, are you a climatologist / do you think you are better equipped than a climatologist to interpret the data?

How do you tell that what is spread is disinfo and not truth? Nothing in the video proves that their point of view is the truth.

The reason science lost trust is because it got peddled in the media to further someone's goal. When was the last time someone showed you the actual data and not the conclusion he wanted you to reach? When was the last time someone wanted you personally to reproduce his cool experiment to see whether you'd get the same result?

Science as the media peddles it is nothing but marketing to make you believe certain things. Science™ said it, so it must be true. Except that's not how science works.

In actuality science isn't so complicated that only some "scientists" can understand it and the public doesn't really need the media playing "translator" to what "scientists" said. Especially since everyone knows that the media is full of shit concerning topics he himself knows something about. There's no reason to believe that it isn't full of shit for the stuff we don't know much about, either. Can't blame them, either. Reporters can't know everything. That's why their job used to be to only report on what they saw. Or at least that's what would make more sense than them trying to translate to the public what so called scientists say, without understanding anything themselves.

But then, whenever you take a look at the data, there's nothing really conclusive and the whole thing about how nobody can replicate results from experiments anymore is so well known that it got it's own Wikipedia article: "The Replication Crisis".

Doesn't stop NPCs from gobbling up what the media peddles about science as fact. Like the stupid climate change thing, which is full of holes if you look at the actual data. It's just that the media has repeated this bullshit over decades again and again, that by now lots of people actually believe in man made climate change.

What exactly do you think is disinformation? They're showing how disinformation is spread.

Everything is transitory. Without someone making an effort to preserve it, everything will be lost to time eventually.

I'm an archivist by nature. I have an innate desire to preserve things. That's why I got ~30TB worth of data, growing.

Looking back at movies from the 1920s pains me, since most of them are lost. And that's only going back a mere hundred years. Since Old Earth is a thing that is plausible, humanity might have survived multiple extinction events which occur about every 10.000 years or so. Each time whatever we build up got destroyed so hard, that even the knowledge that it ever existed is now lost. All that remains are myths about an event cheerfully described as the apocalypse.

What's a mere blog compared to the accumulations of the entire human race? Multiple times over, no less.

Everything is transitory. Including our very universe.

Somehow I do not believe what they are saying in this video. Seems like just another layer of disinfo campaign.

How is it even legal? Didn't Americans cede all kinds of liberties for the sake of "saving the children" ?

I should probably get rid of that if in there....

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Good question. Feel free to report the issue here: https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill

If she implements a fix, I'll nab it.

And it is possible to implement it properly, since CyberChef has it.

That works. Still weird that this isn't a feature under the hood that just works automagically.

Maybe you need to encode the percent sign in percent-encoding (%25). Let's see if https://archive.is/j7uWQ#10%25 will work.

who are not equipped to navigate the challenges of having a social media account,

Adults ain't either. Especially women have a hard time, since they are addicted to attention. Social media fucks with their brains. Everytime their stupid phone makes a sound they have to check. It's really sad.

Yup it's offline backup of Wiki and other pages and works without JS

Get Okabe, we're going back in time.

Can't argue that.

A video for you too https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=t5UPnuSTRjA

This is a list of scientists who have made statements that conflict with the scientific consensus on global warming as summarized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and endorsed by other scientific bodies. A minority of them are climatologists.

Nearly all publishing climate scientists (97–98%[1]) support the consensus on anthropogenic climate change

So, because 2-3% of climatologists doubt the findings, that gives them more weight in your opinion than the 97-98%? Climatology isn't a soft science like social sciences, you know?

Maybe someone at the top of Google bet someone else at the top of Google a dollar that he could make jpg and png go away from the Internet. I think he lost the bet.

Webp is not any better than other formats (many say worse), less compatible, yet Google made it and promotes it and apparently does weird SEO blackmail behind the scenes for it. Question I have is why???

Tech companies only do things for one reason, and that reason is to spy on you. But how does Google spy on you with an unwanted image format?

Any chance they can rebrand and relaunch as Yahoo Wrong Answers? Truth in advertising and all.

Considering this website mentions Kiwix on the bottom, possibly yes. Maybe you can also download it and use it with Kiwix software, though I haven't actually checked that.

I'm not against scientific method, I'm against scientific establishment. The cocksuckers who promote agendas for money and power, who suppress genuine research. Those will come up with whatever consensus necessary to saw off all the forests on earth or whatever else satan demands of them.

If that dude wants to see support for his hardware that old, he better write it himself. It's not locked in like the bullshit that Apple puts out.

Federated apps:

• Funkwhale
• Mastodon
• Peertube
• Reel2bit

If I could watch stuff, listen to music and podcasts + read news on I2P, the clearnet would become much less interesting to me.

It's a browsable backup of stuff?
