He's doing a good job in one sense. By causing total systemic collapse with policy choices in FL, he's demonstrating how terrible Republican ideas are in practice. The party can no longer hide behind "Democrats won't let us enact these changes," and now has to change tack to "ignore your lying eyes."

I hope more voters take the time to look out the window before making their next choice.

You may have the best luck starting with instances that are widely defederated. Insisting that trans experience is invalid is not considered acceptable in most communities, and instances that accept it are generally siloed.

I sincerely recommend listening to a trans person speak about their experience though. The best way to avoid getting removed from places for hate speech is to stop hating people.

Memory is funny. Stuff can play in the background and become familiar without you being consciously aware of it.

It would be possible to do this study without contamination by using completely unknown and newly-released songs as a dataset, and checking against future chart data regarding the popularity, or by examining the reaction of an isolated group of people without constant musical bombardment.

This is very preliminary. The samples were songs that were already hits at the time of the study, with no way to account for contamination. It's highly plausible that the subjects had heard the "hit" songs before the study, and they were just measuring recognition.

197 is a community with one rule: if you go there, you have to upload an image before leaving. People usually put "rule" in the title of those.

I like mine. It has a lot of nice convenience features, and it feels good to have stuff happen automatically based on your presence. Scripting useful automations if a time-consuming hobby though, and if you're mostly just interested in doing voice control for lights it may not be worth it.

I'd recommend staying away from anything that connects directly to the wi-fi if possible. ZigBee lets you isolate the garbage hardware from the Internet so they can't be used as zombie devices in a botnet or worse, and have home assistant be the one point of contact.

It's the time cube, a blog that was run by an eccentric. The creator sadly died in 2015, shortly before his writing style was brought into the political mainstream in the 2016 presidential election.

It's an unusual visual novel, but AI: The Somnium Files was excellent. It's a cyberpunk detective story with awesome surreal mindscapes in it.
