Lemmy and Mastodon feel like the real web3.
Reply in thread
To me Web3 meant federated or p2p stuff, like Secure Scuttlebutt, way before cryptocurrency and NFTs stole the term. I think we should steal it back rather than stop using it!

Has google stopped working for finding anything?
Reply in thread
unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing
Just so you know, DDG does have its own webcrawler (DuckDuckBot). It takes results from that, and the Bing API, and other sources, to generate results.
Also, they pay Bing for results from the Bing API (which as I understand it gives configurable access to the Bing index) and so even the results that do come out of Bing are quite different than you'd get compared to just a "frontend for Bing".

Transgender players banned from international women’s cricket by ICC
Reply in thread
I am still confused. My understanding was that trans people change their gender. This is something I am able to wrap my head around because gender (man/woman) is a human construct anyway and people should have the freedom to choose where they are on that spectrum.
But isn't sex a genetic thing that can't be changed? If it's the case that a person can choose whether they are male or female then science is going to need new terminology to replace male/female for XY and XX because the words science used to use have been commandeered to mean something more like gender?

Developer of Reddit is Fun just released an app for Tildes.
Reply in thread
ok, but Tildes isn't setting itself up as a Reddit competitor, like, its goal isn't to get people to move away from Reddit. It's just its own thing which happens to have some similarities to Reddit but with a bunch of differences too.

Western leaders accused of hypocrisy over response to Palestine, Ukraine

ok, I could look this up, but I’m asking you instead. Why is Israel’s behaviour over the last 10 years in Gaza more justified than Russia’s?

Circadian vs “dim to warm”
I have Hue lamps around the house that are daylight temperature in the day and turn warm and dim in the evening on a schedule. Is this what you mean by circadian, or is it something else?

Do you have perticular reason for choosing Tailscale over ZeroTier or vice versa?
I’ve just been trying both and the Tailscale web dashboard is a lot more polished. Tailscale also uses wireguard instead of something proprietary. But I’m wondering if the zerotier iphone app might use less battery because I’ve heard tailscale has a problem with that.
