That fungus is called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.
I run an old Roomba that’s offline. It works perfectly fine without being connected to anything. It’s a vacuum, not everything needs to be smart. I’ll upgrade at some point and not let the new device on the Internet either
Makes sense but it’s still annoying. Thanks for the heads up
Lemmy in general blocks posts from vpns which is total bullshit but I can still view with vpn
Edit: in my experience anyhow. Also added bold for bs
I don’t think having a server somewhere is necessarily a bad thing. If you choose to use that server it’s up to you.
I’m a big fan of mullvad
It might have been fluxer but I’m not positive. I’ve been looking at all of the options because I need an alternative so there’s lots of mixed info in my brain. I should have started a spreadsheet
Read the privacy policies too. I can’t remember which one I was reading yesterday but it read like they were going to monitor every word I said… All the while saying they are privacy advocates and based in Europe
Yeah I’ve tried both. Stoat looks good and seems like the best option for similar organization but matrix seems better in terms of privacy. If matrix wasn’t so clumsy it would be hands down the best option.
You’re probably right. The only reason I would want that is because there are always leaks and data harvesting
Is there a new "default"platform everyone is moving to? I’m kind of surprised there isn’t an open source discord clone that comes with e2e encryption. I’m not tech savvy enough to understand the challenges involved I’m sure.
Have you tried setting a filter for “act blue”? Might be helpful. I donated $10 to one particular charity and I swear they spent $50 in postage asking me to donate more.
This one thing!! We could tell you in the title what it is, but we won’t!
I don’t mind an AI summary with references when I search. I do not like ai in almost any other context. Ai has ruined the internet with garbage click bait and fluff articles.
Microsoft has shown over the years they will undo your preferences if they aren’t what they prefer. They are the worst
Yeah it’s a pain to get to work. Proton VPN seems to work with it. I don’t know of another way
I’ve never had an issue with their apps but you could always just use the wireguard app instead
I just started using https://leta.mullvad.net/ after another lemming mentioned it. Worth a try for sure.
I use a VPN but you might look into portmaster and their spn. Its a little slow but even using portmaster without the spn you can filter your traffic and simply deny most apps access to the internet
I thought this was going to be an onion article
