lemmy.zip was the nearest similar comm? This could have been put in an instance that is involved with the dispute, many of them have Fediverse communities.

Putting aside the irony of cross-posting a thread about the potentially ideologically inspired muting of smaller instances by Piefed to draw attention to lemmy.ml’s potentially heavy-handed censorship and bias harming the growth of the Lemmy-verse - it looks less like “vitilizing” and more like fragmenting discussion.

More ironic still is that if I see one of your posts now it means that I’ll probably go look at ml to see the actual discussion and hear more from the OP. Perhaps posting original content might go further to achieve your goals?

I assume the army is ICE because this is textbook Nazi shit, so the signing bonus is up to $50k and the salary starts from there too. The work will last as long as the state can manufacture enemies.

I’m not sure I understand. Peripheral hallucinations are a recognized type of hallucination, and hallucinations can involve anything from shadows or flashes of light through to full vivid imagery. It only requires perceiving anything that isn’t really there and but it feels real. The patterns or colors you see when you close your eyes are considered hallucinations too.

We had slightly different readings.

As he was writing he became aware that he was being watched, and a figure slowly emerged to his left. It was indistinct and on the periphery of his vision but it moved as V.T. would expect a person to. The apparition was grey and made no sound… V.T. was unable to see any detail and finally built up the courage to turn and face the thing. As he turned the apparition faded and disappeared.

He experienced a visual disturbance in his periphery manifesting as the false perception of a person. Even without it being interpreted as a person, that’s a textbook mild hallucination.

Once V.T. knew this he calculated the frequency of the standing sound wave … 18.97Hz … plus or minus 10%

Table IV on page 212 of this book shows frequencies causing disturbance to the eyes and vision to be within the band 12 to 27 Hz.

Most interestingly, a NASA technical report mentions a resonant frequency for the eye as 18 Hz (NASA Technical Report 19770013810).

He cited two sources inline with ranges narrower than 8-40Hz which indicate that vision can be affected at the same frequencies he measured in the lab. He even noted that everyone would have slightly different resonant frequencies.

No, it’s not a full research paper, but it is the citation you requested.

I believe the poster is referring to The Ghost in the Machine, Published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol.62, No 851 April 1998 (pdf)

Wrong end of the spectrum, unfortunately. You’ll have better luck with your local ham radio club.

1. If you know you’re alone at home and then hear voices, that might be one way. There are ways to distinguish the presence of people beyond sight.

2. Blindness is much more than total blindness, which only describes a minority of blind people. There are different definitions, but the World Health Organization puts the definition as less than 3/60 or a visual field of less than 10 degrees in the better-seeing eye. That basically means that if you need to be more than 20 times closer to an object to be able to see the same level of detail, or you have almost no peripheral vision, you qualify.

Those are literacy rates, which are distinct from literacy proficiency levels.

From your link:

Literacy rates display the % of adults ages 15 and above who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement about their everyday life.

That definition corresponds roughly to the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies’ definition of being below the lowest level:

At Level 1, they can understand short texts and organised lists when information is clearly indicated, find specific information and identify relevant links. Those below Level 1 can at most understand short, simple sentences.
– OECD Survey of Adults Skills 2023: United States

Overall, people overestimate average literacy levels. The US is slightly worse than the OECD average of 26% of adults at Level 1 or below. Even in the highest performing country, Finland, 12% of adults meet that definition.

Anyone want to trade 20 routers for shortwave radios? I hope nobody was planning on tuning in to Voice of America tonight.

“While cavitation occurs at low frequencies and destroys both viruses and tissues through the collapse of gas bubbles, acoustic resonance operates at high frequencies of 3–20 MHz,”

Brb, making a blanket out of 802.11ah routers.

It would make sense to me to combine wordle and connections in one post to be consistent, it’s easier to divide by author or vendor rather than similarity. I wouldn’t want someone to start posting something like nerdle individually either, which appears to have 22 separate games now. And I wouldn’t want one author to be given special treatment.

But this is only my opinion, I’m not the entire community. I’m not even someone who does the sharing results part of this community.

It’s not the visuals, I think the visuals are nice and keeping visual consistency is good branding.

Please understand I mean no disrespect by this, but for me these are four questions on a math quiz, not four separate games. Each is a single step equation in a slightly different arrangement, with each having only a single binary outcome, taking me only a handful of seconds to complete. Perhaps it’s because I do various equations in my head in my work that I don’t get much of a challenge from doing these, and as a result I don’t perceive much variety or novelty. That just makes me the wrong audience.

But, the result of having separate posts for each of them everyday is that other games end up being crowded out, even if they’re bundling more content inside the game itself. That doesn’t seem fair.

I just wish it posted once instead of four times. They’re all very similar.

If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called “No-QAnon”. The list itself might not be smuggled, but it’s not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.

Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click “remove” over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.

Yeah, even there. A page loading is one thing, but browser features are somewhat independent of the content. There’s also a good chance this is being used as a hook for other Google products like Drive or Docs (which are basically websites under the hood) to allow offline file management, creation, etc.

It’s a bad choice, but it wouldn’t be the first bad choice Google has made.

Trauma responses are hard. I think it’s great you’re actively working on it and are conscious of your own biases, that’s huge. Good luck!

They need their features to work offline too probably.

Is it possible that your security is unsustainably expensive and comes from the exploitation of human rights in other places? Why was it necessary for the people of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Libya, and others, to pay for your perceived security?

I also find it hard to believe that China has had little military engagement for the last 25 years because it’s worried about the US. Up until 5 years ago it was the US’s top foreign Treasury security owner.

Melted like butter on piping hot toast.

This list is weird, aside from the length. They must be using a very greedy regexp for this many instances to have their names partially censored.

The text “buds” has been censored, all the instances using the TLD “university” have had “univer” removed, and the word “hangout” is also gone. “Shitpisscum” made it through, so it can’t just be about slightly naughty words. Also annihilation.social is listed 3 times for some reason.

Are these slurs in a culture I’m not familiar with? Does piefed do this everywhere?
