How many of those will there be?

Science@mander.xyz•Politicians believe voters to be more conservative than they really are
1·3 years agoNo penalty for being conservative… Whereas if they go to hard, screams are loud, and the backlash punishes.

My reading of the issues says maybe not. They discuss using individual keys or web scraping. But it doesn’t look implemented yet.
I could be wrong.

Jerboa@lemmy.ml•Please stop taking me to the community or the author page when I tap slightly off center from the title
01·3 years agoOnly short titles in list view need care. Longer titles are easy.
Offer a patch.
Just noticed the same and logged into the website to check the insurance wasn’t broken. Nope. It’s jerboa.
It’s a known bug with version 0.36. Drop back to the previous version or use the web.

Science@lemmy.ml•After screening thousands of drugs, researchers have found an antibiotic that completely eliminates the bacteria that causes Lyme disease
1·3 years agoResearchers tested the drug, not yet on the market, in mouse models of Lyme disease at seven-day, 14-day, and 21-day intervals and found that it eliminated the infection. For the first time, azlocillin also proved effective in killing drug-tolerant forms of B. burgdorferi in lab dishes, indicating that it may work as a therapy for lingering symptoms of Lyme disease.
Researchers plan to conduct a clinical trial.
One day… Maybe.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•What's the best practice for using Lemmy/Reddit/social media in regard to privacy? Create new accounts often?English
1·3 years agoI’d say no. Your fooling yourself if you think you can. The best you can do is make it harder, but that is only true compared to computing power. Problems that were hard, are now possible because computing power has increased.
Any one profile could give enough to out you. A textual analysis can tie separate text posted by different accounts to the same person. (Varying degrees of accuracy for this. If anyone would do parse all Lemmy comments to do this is separate issue.)
In short, don’t post anything that might compromise you. But how fruitful are conversations if you’re always hiding anything that might out you? Stick to only non personal stuff? Information about local shops, movies, etc etc can all narrow down your location. But even with that, narrowing down to a town with 50 people in it, is different to a town with 1 million people.
It isn’t only what you post. Someone else can also out you. Someone who knows you, or someone that you don’t know. Your PC can be hacked, etc etc. The options go on and on.
Define what your risk is. Define who your adversaries are. Then plan how to operate with acceptable risk tolerance.

0·3 years agoNobody can anticipate all risks
Then stick to “don’t be online” as you no matter what you do, you can’t anticipate how that will expose you later.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•What's the best practice for using Lemmy/Reddit/social media in regard to privacy? Create new accounts often?English
2·3 years agoThere is no privacy online. Enough incentive your history across accounts, instances, usernames can be combined.
Think about risks instead. Who is going to use your post against you? How much effort are they going to go to? What’s your risk?
If you’re hiding from the a government, best not to be online. If what you post will get you killed, don’t post it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Winter is perhaps the only time you can successfully invade Russia. Hitler and Napoleon invaded in the summer and failed. The Mongols invaded in the winter and won.
1·3 years agoHow’d that work out for Napoleon and Hitler, just to name a couple.

But can’t be arsed working out which started in winter vs which where destroyed by winter.
