I agree that a lot of disinformation comes from snd is aimed at the US.

For Lemmy, idk. On one hand, it could also be restricted. I can imagine restrictions being dependent on the size of the website in terms of traffic and posting.

On the other, if there isn't such a huge impact because of it's size, then restrictions aren't necessary.

this is a great video. I think you should post it in a community.

For larger website that allow political discussions and reach a lot of people, yes I think verification would help tackle disinformation. Same thing that happens to websites that don't follow GDPR is what I would imagine.

If you have suggestions for dealing with foreign disinformation, I'm all ears

What I mean by that is no anonymous posting. A big issue is that you have thousands of bots pushing fake messages. It's worse with algorithms where the company can control how many people certain messages reach. But places like Lemmy and reddit aren't immune either. I still remember seeing how crazy reddit went during 2016 elections. All of a sudden a ton of pro Trump people were there. I couldn't trust a lot of news, pro or against Trump, because there would be false information posted (false anti information I bet also posted by Russian bots for this reason as well.)

As of now, we're basically allowing Russia, China and Iran to influence our citizens. That's partially why MAGA has such a an alternate view Trump. They don't ever hear the bad news about him, or just don't believe it.

I have family that are Republicans. They view fox news entertainment and use social media for news. When all the information they get is absolute trash, how can you not support republicans? Kamala isn't Democratically elected to be a DNC candidate, and no one is happy with that. Why would you be happy with that, if nearly nobody is? Democrats are totally cool with guys saying they're women, in order to win more sports matches because the same men aren't competitive against men. Why would you not support that? Trump had the best economy ever. Do you not want a good economy? Trump isn't part of the political elite, a group of people that try to force their will onto the people. Kamala has been in politics in years, and is of course part of the political elite. Why wouldn't you vote for someone that is apart of the political elite? Doctors and Gay people want to force kids to use hormones and convince them to be gay, and democrats support them. Do you want to force kids to be gay and use hormone blockers or take unnecessary hormones?

If I tell you the above in a vacuum, along with most of your friends and relatives, how can you not believe that is reality? I mean you see the above mention in the news, in social media. This is "of course" reality, and people who believe otherwise are idiots, malicious , or crazy.

Until we deal with the crazy shit posted on social media, and Fox news posting and talking crazy shit (both I bet propped up quit a bit by foreign adversaries), people will have an alternate reality fed to them that is tailored to their wants and fears. Many people who support trump/Republicans are good people, they just are living in a different reality where Trump may have some flaws, but the left is absolutely bonkers. Many don't watch his many rallies, and the news the consume aren't honest in showing how he tried to steal the last presidential election, raped women and children, is in a worse mental state than Biden, is very ignorant of local and world politics, and is extremely selfish.

It's starting to feel more like we shouldn't allow political ads or discussions online without restrictions. Foreign actors and idiots are too quick to spread misinformation. If people want to get an idea of what others believe in, then go talk with other real people. This feels more like kids learning how to socialize from online games. People are dicks online, and you can interact with people that way in real life

Does it actually seep? my understanding of chemical waste is: that it doesn't generate a lot (the US has about a foot ball fields worth from all of our nuclear power plants in our total history, so nearly 70 years), and that they placed is secure, not leaking containers. You're right that it will eventually be a problem, but probably a problem that we will have to deal with later than our current climate crisis. An argument could be made that maybe new nuclear plants shouldn't be made, but if we have some up and running, that's cheap energy that generates little carbon.

Yeah it was surprisingly jarring going to Europe and seeing places that were completely inaccessible by wheel chair. I have never used a wheel chair in my life but I know there's bars in my area that have mini elevators for peole on wheel chairs to access the lower level that's only like 4 steps down.

By atom, do you mean nuclear energy? Why did you stop the nuclear plant?, assuming that's what you're referring to.

How does this relate to Germany relying using natural gas from Russia, before their invasion of Ukraine? My understanding was that Germany had energy issues at the offset, which I wouldn't expect considering how much renewavles you use

Better place for their family to live? Equal rights? Less fascism? I'm not a fan of billionaires, but they aren't extracting wealth all the time.

Not always, especially if they lived in liberal area. I know a lot of well off people that don't mind being taxed and want other less fortunate than them to get help from the government. That or they view Trump as they threat to democracy that he is.

Cool video. TL;DR : heating dessicant works to remove moisture from it. This applies to loose dessicant as well as the bagged ones. Microwaving at the lowest power level works rather well and what the author said they will do from now on. Downsides are that sometimes the microwave pops/damages the dessicant because of the excessive heat (meaning the packs begin to wear out over repeated reheating times) or some packaging types melting. Microwaves work pretty fast as well.

A another option is a mini oven at 110 degrees which takes longer than the microwave but doesn't damages dessicant.
