Finally found someone with an ATX power supply they were willing to give me. First project will be to properly power some LED strips I have connected to a raspberry pi. Before this I could only power about a half meter, now I should be good for at least 5 meters. Excellent.

If you answer “yes” to one or more of the questions, you may want to do further research to figure out who’s creating or pushing the information and whether they’re trying to manipulate you with lies or misleading information.

- Does the group, person, or organization sharing the information have a stake in the claim (financial, political, or otherwise)?
- Does it require belief in a secret plot and a group of co-conspirators?
- Does it scapegoat people or groups?
- Is it spread by someone who recently started their social media account, but has a lot of followers?

If you come across a controversial claim—whether it’s online, in your mailbox, or in the media—ask yourself the following questions.

- Is it difficult to separate facts from opinions?
- Does it fail to cite experts from reputable organizations?
- Is the original source of the information hard to pin down?      
- Does it confirm your beliefs, or play to your emotions?

Gonna go on a thread here, collecting things about #disinformation

From https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/how-spot-disinformation

The goal of disinformation is to confuse and manipulate the public; distract, divide, and demoralize communities; and control a narrative—all for financial, political, or ideological gain.

I should mention, when I say 'we', I mean every person, not just townies or people who care about the details. We're all people and we all deserve to have a place where we aren't being manipulated.

I believe we also all have a responsibility to ourselves and each other to protect this.

So here's a #question for us all. With the recent influx of users I'm willing to bet #BadActors are upping their game here.This is...

So here's a #question for us all. With the recent influx of users I'm willing to bet #BadActors are upping their game here.

This is our place and we need to keep it safe from those who want to sow division, confuse or divide us, or otherwise make use less effective at making good decisions.

What are some things that we all can do to keep ourselves and each other safe from #misinformation, #doxxing etc?

Over 4,000 people is what I've counted so far, directly impacted. There'll be many others that were contracted etc that probably won't make the news. That's a lot of people.

Rant, twitter, musk, anger

Ok, let me know if I've got this right. Musk gets it in his head that he wants twitter, he barges into the company that he just bought and starts firing people and making demands ridiculous enough to drive others to quit. Right before Thanksgiving, pretty close to Christmas, as winter is setting in, and after the bullshit last few years we've all had.

How many people are out of work right now? How many people are wondering what to do? How many are too scared to leave?

My family and I are not in a good way right now, we're going through some shit, but I believe we'll be OK eventually. If somebody bought my company did this we would be... very screwwed.

What right, what god. damn. right. does this man have to ruin lives? These are people and they deserve better. And for what, money? Shock? Fun? Retribution? Some strange billionaire thing that we mere mortals could never understand?

I don't know, and I don't know what to do, but I do know that I'm really upset. Life in general kinda thing, but so many of our problems are because of shit like this. People with money and power just tossing the rest of us around like playthings. It's sick and it's wrong and I don't think we need to stand for it.

We are this world, and we don't need to put up with this shit. We can do better.

AlcI'd like to have a conversation with whoever set the size of a standard wine bottle. I feel like we have some things to discuss.

Someone just told me 'so and so' is running for US president in 2024 and it got me wondering, why hear about only a few people, there've got to be more than a few people signed up. In the 2020 presidential election 1,212 people filed to run.

Heck, I've never even heard of the other two notable candidates. Airtime makes quite a difference I guess.

My mother in law was by today and she made a comment about the state of our bathroom. She prefaced it with 'now I don't mean to be offensive...' and I'm thinking to myself, oh bitch, I'm offensived alright. How dare she insinuate that I'm thick enough to not know my bathroom's a disgusting mess. Seriously.

The fact that I can see a live stream of the Orion craft's view of the Moon's surface is absolutely wild and brought a tear to my eye.

Anyone have experience with the #SubwayTooter app on android? I love the app, it's just what I need, but I find it's very regularly playing my notification sound even though there are no notifications coming up. Almost like it's notifying me that a feed has updated, though I see no option for this.

There's a ferry in our area that's leaving service after 57 years. It's really cool to see the island community come out and pay it tribute, and I like the sense of attachment some of these folks have. A lot of history there for people.
