ELI5 How come it seems now the old [wives’] tale of Vietnamese eating pets and now its immigrants into the USA?

That’s still a rather incomprehensible sentence.

ELI5 How come it seems now the old wise tale of Vietnamese eating pets and now its immigrants into the USA?

I don’t understand that sentence.

Idk why it’s not in the chart because they did talk about it in the debate. Maybe the chart isn’t intended to be exhaustive.

As of 2024-09-03T22:10:25.545Z, Starlink is now complying with Brazil’s X ban [1].

If this is a legitimate test, note that there is a community specifically for this purpose: !test@lemmy.ml.

The rules are written so the admins and mods can maintain their positions and feelings without having to explain themselves.

There is no requirement that they must explain themselves. The beauty of the Fediverse is that if one doesn’t agree with an instance, then they don’t need to interact with it.

Its an insistence that whatever they do is right because they own the place.

It is their instance to run as they see fit. I make no attempt to force my opinions on them for how they should run their instance. I can only voice my personal opinions and challenge them to be accountable to theirs.

I agree — I was mostly stating that for the sake of clarity.

The secret to success: survivorship bias.

“Despises O’Toole”? Did I just get transported back in time 4 years?

I don’t have any fundamental issue with emojis when they’re used to expand meaning or provide clarity. Eg you could use an emotive emoji to show/clarify the intent/emotion of something. Imo, using emojis in this way is no different than the practice of adding a “/s” to denote sarcasm. When they get annoying is when they’re used superfluously; if they serve no purpose, then it’s just clutter.

Health-related information should ideally be from peer-reviewed, reproducible scientific studies.

Note that even if a study is currently reproducible, it will only continue to be reproducible until it isn’t. There isn’t something fundamental that makes a specific scientific study objectively true or false — that isn’t how science works.

When in doubt, a policy of “Do No Harm”, based on the Hippocratic Oath, is a good compass on what is okay to post.

I understand that that’s likely well-intentioned, but, imo, it’s rather subjective — it’s more often a matter of relative perspective. That being said, it would be in your best interest to set as clear and precise definitions as you possibly can.

Non-peer-reviewed studies by individuals are not considered safe for health matters.

What does this statement mean? You are banning anyone from sharing anything that is not peer-reviewed…?

We know some folks who are free speech absolutists may disagree with this stance

That’s a bit of a stretch.

My “in Thailand”?

When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

gestures passionately “Download Lemmy!”

I’m feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.

But I’m not sure how open it really is.

Unfortunately, the copyright on their content is too restrictive for something that I’d want to contribute to.

The User is only authorised to access and use the Website, the Applications and the Services and to download the contents thereof for personal and non-commercial or collective use, except for the cases expressly authorised by Wikiloc. Except in those cases where expressly authorized, the User is expressly prohibited to reproduce or distribute for other purposes, as well as to transform, create derivative works of any kind, communicate to the public, make available, extract, reuse or otherwise use the Website, the Applications or the Services or any part thereof. [Wikiloc ToS §1.6]

Komoot is another one that clearly is commercial but based on user contributions. https://www.komoot.com/

It’s not immediately clear to me how they license their data, but it seems to be that they are restrictive:

The user can use the offered export functions to print out associated data of necessary parts of the selected individually planned tour or export them to a target device and / or to a mobile device equipped with a chip for positioning. The user is explicitly prohibited to export, distribute or publish tours in other ways than with the offered export function. [Komoot ToS §1.4]

Facebook marketplace is the only reason I still have a Facebook account.

Fair point. I believe I was under the impression that this was an app rather than a served webpage. I suppose one can easily verify this by looking at how the “For You” algorithm works within the browser ­— all the code for functionality would be sent to the browser; though, it could potentially be obfuscated, which might be a pain.

This is very cool! But I don’t want to contribute information for only myself. I would like to contribute information for anybody to be able to use and reference.

EDIT (2024-08-09T23:22Z): I suppose one could host an instance of that for anyone to use. I’d have to think about that. I’m not sure if it would be the format that I’m looking for.
