Logseq has genuinely made me a less stupid person. It’s confusing to learn, but the ceiling for articulating and organising your thoughts and knowledge base is insanely high. Other apps kind of feel like I’m fighting the limitations of my tools in order to organise a mental library of where to find information.

I read the headline and my immediate thought was “is this controlled for socioeconomic class?”

I guess I’m reading the paper

This is a whataboutist counterpoint at best. Universities and their researchers are not a monolith.

I suppose I’ll be watching two pile of snakes pretending to be people for the duration of which this plays out.

apt is to Debian and Ubuntu what dnf is to RHEL-based distros (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Alma/Rocky) or zypper is to SUSE-based distros. RPM’s equivalent is dpkg

In my case I was ecosystem’d into RPM and Flatpak, so openSUSE makes me happy

That’s a very interesting anecdote, now that you say it

I feel like a lot of people are missing the point when it comes to the MIST. I just very briefly skimmed the paper.

Misinformation susceptibility is being vulnerable to information that is incorrect

• @[email protected] @[email protected] It seems that the authors are looking to create a standardised measure of “misinformation susceptibility” that other researchers can employ in their studies so that these studies can be comparable, (the authors say that ad-hoc measures employed by other studies are not comparable).
• @[email protected] the reason a binary scale was chosen over a likert-type scale was because
  1. It’s less ambiguous to participants
  2. It’s easier for researchers to implement in their studies
  3. The results produced are of a similar ‘quality’ to the likert scale version
• If the test doesn’t include pictures, a source name, and a lede sentence and produces similar results to a test which does, then the simpler test is superior (think about the participants here). The MIST shows high concurrent validity with existing measures and states a high level of predictive validity (although I’d have to read deeper to talk about the specifics)

It’s funny how the post about a misinformation test was riddled with misinformation because no one bothered to read the paper before letting their mouth run. Now, I don’t doubt that your brilliant minds can overrule a measure produced with years of research and hundreds of participants off the top of your head, but even if what I’ve said may be contradicted with a deeper analysis of the paper, shouldn’t it be the baseline?

Then just write proprietary code. Open source philosophy to me seems about creation for a “greater good”. What’s the point if you’re not even going to be open? The organisation just becomes a massive corporation like any other at that point.

That depends on whether the communication channel is encrypted.

Reddit is ProCSS

A world without advertising and marketing is a world without persuasion. These two concepts by themselves were never the problem, as they’re just a means to increase awareness and demand for a product or service. To me it seems that you instead take issue with a consumerist society.

Fedora, I’m not a tech person by Linux user standards and I just need an OS that works
