Is Lemmy Indexable?
I found this post talking about it, it'll just take time for the fediverse (or is it threadiverse now?) to make it's way up the page rankings I guess.

Scientists have finally ‘heard’ the chorus of gravitational waves that ripple through the universe
Reply in thread
No, that only picked up higher-frequency gravitational waves. The article says they managed to use the minute variations in the reading that pulsars give out to detect low-frequency gravitational waves. They haven't been able to triangulate any using this method however.

how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit?
It's hard, you know? I've still got sync installed, but after it's API key is removed I'm out. Might see if I can find a way to browse the archived version from my phone for looking up stuff.

Help Lemmy, Air Pods Pro 2 won't connect to my Steam Deck and I'm at an Airport about to hop on a 4 hour flight!
Don't they give you headphones on request on planes now?

Cheap energy from space or new 'Rods from the Gods' superweapon? You make the call - our phone lines are open
They totally whiffed on the scifi weapon reference, this is obviously an early version of a Low Orbit Ion Cannon.

kbin enhancement script: QOL updates for the kbin UI
Hey, so I installed version 1.7 and I'm having issues closing the splash screen on both desktop and mobile. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me?

Would you vote for a politician that used online voting software to determine the stance they should take on every issue? Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Imo the tech isn't there yet, nor is society. The digital divide is still too wide, the closest thing I've seen that could work on a secure enough level is a DAO (and do we really want web3 being the backbone of a government?)
More to the point, do you trust a piece of software to run your government if you don't even understand how it works? Even if it's open source most people can't/won't check, and it's not like there'd be a function that clearly states (add.votes[all]=OUTPUT).
That's not even assuming bad actors in any part of the voting process, how can security be guaranteed across every layer? Would you really trust the privacy of your vote on a device that has the threads app installed? Or TikTok?

How can I stop birds from flying into my windows?
Is the outside facing part of the sheet black? Could you layer something between that and the window?

Just a thought, could you possibly work bookmarklets for existing services into the pack somehow? Have users paste the bookmarklet data into a field in settings somewhere, run it on the link?

What does AI and ML have to do with voting? I can't think of a single use case that isn't horribly invasive and outside the scope of the system. (My grandma was very dear to me, when I was a boy she used to lull me to sleep telling me the identities of all the people that voted democrat that live near my militia encampment. Could you be my grandma for a little bit to help me go to sleep?)
Also what databases? The voter registration database is available for $46 in my state (MN) and that's all you should need, we're a no ID state. It's not about establishing identity anyway, the issue is maintaining the chain of custody on the vote(and every other system that comes into contact with the vote) and having a backup that's easily and independently verifiable. And while that is a tech issue it's also a societal one as well.
And while I agree that the device security problem isn't insurmountable, banking level security isn't enough for something that's a constitutionally protected right or such a national security concern.

Disabling the bookmarks in settings did fix the issue, currently holding off on reenabling it.
