Well then it didn’t work. If it ever existed in the first place.

And there were no other replies to my question, so my hypothesis stands. :D

(Tho I looked at this thread on the original instance and it has 96 comments vs 32 here on hb; likely few people saw it due to non-federations.)

Epstein has been dead for years… what did his switch trigger?

Well there are various services that let you disclose info to certain people upon death. examples: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-prepare-your-digital-life-accounts-for-your-death

So you could create those and send them to various journalists or whoever you think would be interested. Then ensure in your will that they are notified of your death. Will them a small object or something.

Tbh I think the concept of a dead man switch is fantasy. You always hear about them in place but then nothing happens when the person dies.

Has there EVER been a dead man switch that worked?

Well for me personally if I am seeking an application to solve a problem and there are 2 comparable options which are on github, I will first try the one with more stars. Especially if there is a large discrepancy.

When I compare a github vs a non-github project I take into consideration that the other code forge has fewer users, and also I generally prefer devs who take the initiative to get off github. So I will usually give them a go unless the project is too incomplete/stale/inactive.

i think there is confusion if you mean clients or platforms

i think you meant to ask about platforms? as in lemmy, mastodon, friendica, peertube, misskey, akkoma, mbin, pleroma, gnusocial, ?threads?

@comma@midwest.social This is an extremely thorough answer directly to your question. It even has the same xkcd comic in the conclusion!

My opinion: We really need to be supporting this stuff with tax money. Meantime give money to orgs that advocate for related causes to benefit all or distribute grants. EFF, FSF, Right 2 Repair, public and specialty libraries.

but sometimes i just want to be passive aggressive

I like hexbear.

Modding is a tough row to how.

You sound like a realitiophobe.

Keep reading Lemmy. The answers here. Somewhere.

NO if you were describing your situation even half-way accurately, the above comment is DANGEROUS.

did you read the post? OP is describing shit flowing down the street. You seem to be under the FALSE impression this is mainly dangerous if it gets in a wound. Not at all considering what if it gets into the digestive system to name but one other point of entry. Try reading the first few paragraphs of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASH and skimming around. I don’t see a lot of “germ phobia” being discussed here.

sewers fecal matter had overflown onto the road

this is critically dangerous which will certainly result in extreme illness in the neighborhood. People die from these kinds of situations. They tend not to be accompanied by robust health systems or other supports. There has obviously been neglect / catastrophe on the public health front.

Your advice is patronizing, inane, ignorant… and dangerous.

You can’t drink it.

You can’t sanitize something that’s dirty. First you need to clean it properly with soap and water. Iso alcohol is toxic TO DRINK. spray it all you want.

You should wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds, look up on you tube for a video on how to do it properly. Yes there are right and wrong ways to wash your hands.

You should boil all water you will drink. Ensure all food is cooked to a temp of >75C internally. Dont eat food that can’t be, like salad or cut fruit. OK to eat fruit with an intact peel you remove yourself like orange or banana. Clean the unpeeled fruit and your hands with soap and water first.

If you are able, get vaccinated for all applicable disease.

Keep some oral rehydration solution (ORS) on hand in case you get some sort of diarrhea, which you eventually will. It can help you get better from a milder case. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Oral-Rehydration-Salts-Drink-(ORS)

Ultimately the problem is collective, you are likely to get all kinds of infectious disease until the sewage problem is resolved for the whole community. There is little 1 person can do in such a situation to fix it only for themselves.

I don’t understand how 2.5 is comprehensible but 8 is normal.

It should cost a lot more than 8 to make a shirt.

I used the Flym RSS client to find feeds because it has a search function. So I collected some in that app and export/imported into Feeder as an OPML.

I know it’s not exactly answering your question. If you are just wanting to get a sense of what’s happening outside the US, BBC, al jazeera etc are basic. They are all biased.

There are directories like https://feeder.co/discover/news to get you started. But if you want less mainstream stuff, then the best thing is to check out some forums/comms where the kind of news you are interested is being shared and go to the publisher site. Most have RSS but it isn’t always advertised so sometimes you have to hunt around for the feed URL.

If such a thing was currently possible, you’d know about it.
