I don't know how frequently this happens, but my experience is that a link to a lemmy group was deleted by mods. It was very politely worded, and suggested and alternative community on Lemmy, and also noted that there's no reason that somebody couldn't read both communities. It was still deleted as "spam or self-promotion."
That could just be a maturity issue with the mod who deleted it. It could also be that Reddit itself is doing it and simply said it was done by the mods of the group.
I don't know that scientists gaslit anyone. I think it's more the state of journalism driven by the way it is monetized. Chasing SEO drives clickbait headlines and sensational claims to the top of everyone's feed.
I really appreciate the discussion on Lemmy.
I think that we're talking about the same thing. When I read those articles curated by Google news in my mobile browser, I have never, not once, had audio play. Maybe try Firefox mobile?
The video (you can skip to the last five or 10 minutes of it to get the gist of what I'm talking about) says that the discrepancy isn't unexplained. It's point is that the different models depend on a large number of variables, and one of those variables is the size and brightness of the first generation of stars in the early universe. Tweaking that part of the model can explain the discrepancy. (According to the video.)
Interesting. I use Google News as well, and I have never had audio play. I tend to use it on mobile, and my default browser on mobile is Firefox. Specifically Firefox in private browser mode, so I don't have to worry about cookies.
I use Firefox on the desktop as well, but not usually in private mode. I also don't ever have video autoplay that way. I'm not sure why. I don't think I installed any extensions to turn it off, but I might have tweaked the browser settings shortly after installing.
I am not a planetary scientist, but I have read a bit on the subject. My understanding is that it's almost entirely due to the lack of magnetic field. The solar wind just blasts the atmosphere away over time.
If we ever reach a high enough state of technology to terraform Mars, we will have to figure out some way to protect the atmosphere. I found this video to be a really interesting take on the subject: https://youtu.be/HpcTJW4ur54?si=P-HpbrHPjJFfAaEI
Thanks for creating it!
That's kinda hilarious. I was looking for cannabis related communities too. Believe it or not, I haven't had any cannabis today, either. 😄
I'd use Lemmy Explorer to find communities that interest you. The link I just shared is sorted by subscriber count, so it should show the most active communities at the top.
I tap them and blow on them before I put them back into their case. In case there are any little ear wax flakes. I don't tend to have much in the way out of ear wax.
I haven't read that one. I did read "Extra Focus" recently, which is also somewhat new & worthwhile.
I'll check out "How to ADHD" - thanks!
Same. I bought a 4-pack of toner refills with it. I'm on the 2nd one.
