How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Also, your eyes dart around and you only see a little patch. You blink. Your brain makes up a nice stable image of the world, mostly consisting of things that your brain think should be there.

Seems like a good use for android app pinning, I think that locks the phone to that app until unlocked

With systemd this would not be an issue , you just need to set up a timer for your service and some policy rules /s?

[USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] leds@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah same in Europe with different VAT rates between the countries, select where you're from and shops will show price including local VAT which the shop will take care off

No, you should definitely not drink tea with those people, but your neighbours? Who have been told to fear you because you are black/white/blue/red or rainbow coloured. Been told that you want destroy their way of living by their echo chambers, by targeted manipulation on social media, by sensationallist tradional media. they have been told to prepare for civil war like the person I replied to. That's all people constantly hear, no-one is telling them to talk to their neighbours.

My experience with LineageOS tonight (feddit.dk)
 

so.. i'm running lineageOS on my phone (a Oneplus 6T) , have been for a very long time. Usually i'm really happy with this but not tonight:

  • Phone suggest a update of OS , just a weekly build. Sure why not, so it does it thing and i reboot, all good.
  • Open a app to listen to some podcast: screen goes black flickers a couple of times showing empty launcher. thankfully power button long press shows shutdown menu (but looks different from normal?) and lets me restart
  • do same thing again , ok looks like latest update broke something
  • update app, same
  • go to settings , updates to try to revert to previous version: no option to install older version , only option is export. weird ok lets try to export old version . Now it lets me install that
  • installation loops , seems it failed
  • try app again, same black screen , hold power button to get boot menu again : now phone says ERASING .. wait what stop no .. (does lineage have a panic wipe my phone key combo i didn't know about?)
  • rebooting , rebooting again
  • welcome setup your phone screen :(
  • remember that my cloud server disk burned last week , no way to restore backups :( :(

Snowden Ten Years Later - Schneier on Security (www.schneier.com)
 

Last paragraph makes a good point

But now it’s been a decade. Everything he knows is old and out of date. Everything we know is old and out of date. The NSA suffered an even worse leak of its secrets by the Russians, under the guise of the Shadow Brokers, in 2016 and 2017. The NSA has rebuilt. It again has capabilities we can only surmise.
