I don't really care, both are pretty fucking bad

Yes but this clearly wasn't about that. If it had been he'd just screenshotted that part and focused on that. But he's a weirdo so he screenshotted 5 years of content, anything that could remotely offend anybody, to make the maximum amount people mad.

How do you know that?

kyse ei ole uskon asiasta, vaan siitä mitä oikeasti tapahtui. Kiina on estänyt asian selvittämisen, joten on mahdollista että tapahtumien kulku ei ainakaan vähään aikaan selviä millään varmuudella.

Eli tavallaan se juuri on uskon asia..

I am also considering switching from an iPhone to a fairphone (or potentially something else privacy-friendly). So far I've heard that banking apps might be a problem. Also digital identification software feels like something that might be restricted on an alternative OS or a more open device. Does unlocking the bootloader mess with these things?

I would imagine streaming services that allow downloads might be restrictive about what they run on. Many of them do allow downlods, I know Spotify, Netflix, and most audiobook apps do at least. But I really have no idea, and would be really happy to hear from somebody with experience.

I think the masses, by and large, are still taking vaccines. The ones who don't are stuck in epistemic systems that amplify noise (social media, conspiracy theory groups, right wing cults etc.).

I seem to be doing a poor job at making my point here. Hope you appreciated the conversation regardless.

what are you really achieving?

Having knowledgeable researchers that can help produce vaccines, and having at least a part of the population be knowledgeable enough to make sane decisions about their healthcare..

It’s a prerequisite to solving ”the antivaxxer issue”, though not sufficient.

I was trying to illustrate that filtering out (mis/dis)information it is not only important for your mental health, but also from an epistemological standpoint. All good epistemological systems (science, fair and accurate journalism, etc.) filter out/exclude a lot of point of views. I agree, there is no central arbitor of truth, that’s why good epistemological systems are doubly important.

If your process of finding knowledge isn’t based on good epistemological systems, you will drown in the pool of noise that you get from just listening to people around you. But if your epistemological approach is sound, then yes, interacting with a lot of people will make you understand the world better.

It’s not about mental health per se. For example, if I as a researcher want to search for scientific information, it’s good that I can exclude anything but scientific articles. Similarly, excluding flat earthers and antivaxxers from a social media site will probably improve the general public’s understanding of the world.

It’s just pragmatism. The alternative is to have everybody listen to all information - at that point it becomes impossible to find the signal in the noise.

Filtering out certain information flows is an integral part of freedom from speech, not an indication that you are in an "echo chamber".

Humans in general are very hesitant to admit that they were wrong. Cult members doubly so.

You can probably write your commit messages in most markup languages, whether it gets nicely rendered like it does here is a whole other topic
