She used to be a pretty popular popsci content creator and still continues to be one to this day, though the reason for her popularity now is that she has started feeding conspiratorial narratives.

 

This comes after blatant science denial (this is a link to another one of Farina's videos because it can't be summarized by just one video of Sabine's), attributing academia to "communism" as a fear mongering tactic (her whole point on this was that academia is a form of planned economy or something), and making a video in support of capitalism.

It worked. Thanks!

 

Hello!
AFAIK Lemmy itself supports GIF profile pictures, as I have used one in the past on another instance. But trying to set one here gives me a "Type Error" pop-up and fails. Are they disabled here?

How is "lüften" a weird cultish ritual? I'm not German, but opening your windows in the morning and in the evening while doing things like brushing your teeth or showering seems pretty standard to me.

What translator has tried to inject their agenda into any anime?

Considering Twitch is owned by Amazon, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, I don't think it's really all that insane that Twitch allows this. And I'm sure as hell that Asmongold has made statements more unhinged than this.

It's much better to just use a hardened fork like LibreWolf or Mullvad Browser from the start.

This stuff still exists in my country, and the expensive toothpaste my mother bought is one of them 🙂

No, it simply doesn't. If one doesn't want to learn a language, they simply shouldn't (and this includes wanting to want to learn a language). This is a personal issue, and it should not be an excuse for spreading any kind of misinformation about the topic.

 

In Firefox and its derivatives, you can add the non-AI version of DuckDuckGo as a search engine by going into Settings > Search > Search Shortcuts > Add and then giving it a name of your choice with https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s being put in the "URL with %s in place of search term" part. You have to remove the 25 part from the URL though, that seems to be a Lemmy quirk with posting a link.

I don't know when they made this available, but I'm learning about this now and it's super useful if you hate LLMs and also use a browser that clears cookies on close (such as Mullvad or LibreWolf).
