people are suffering, but it’s more important that the line is not increasing, peasants!

I may be naive here, but doesn’t opensnitch already do this at the process level as well?

Very cool! Do you know how your project may compare with arctic shift ? For those more interested in research with reddit data, is there benefit of one vs another?

from what I remember from my early psych class, manipulation can be used, but should be used carefully in an experiment.

there’s a lot that goes into designing a research experiment that tests or requires the use of manipulation, as appropriate approvals and ethics reviews are needed.

and usually it should be done in a “controlled” environment where there’s some manner of consent and compensation.

I have not read the details done here but the research does not seem to happen in a controlled env, participants had no way to express consent to opt in or opt out, and afaik they were not compensated.

any psych or social sci peeps, feel free to jump in to correct me if I say something wrong.

on a side note, another thing that this meme suggests is that both of these situations are somehow equal. IMO, they are not. researchers and academics should be expected to uphold code of ethics more so than corporations.

In this scenario, I think the pronouns should be changed regardless of the gender of the devs. Here’s a screenshot of the suggested changes, which are quite minimal. The reason why I think this should be changed is because this is in the build instructions for a project that many devs are needed. Hence, they should at least be open to discussion rather than shutting it off completely. And honestly, this is a small change. Their reaction to this made it more political than the commit itself, and honestly the commit was not political in my mind. Their reaction also demonstrated how they respond to contributions, and an ambitious project like this will need a lot of contributors. If their leadership keeps this up, it is very off-putting for people to collaborate with them.

Wonder how the survey was sent out and whether that affected sampling.

Regardless, with -3-4k responses, that’s disappointing, if not concerning.

I only have a more personal sense for Lemmy. Do you have a source for Lemmy gender diversity?

Anyway, what do you think are the underlying issues? And what would be some suggestions to the community to address them?

Just a quick check, is this location based or something, or maybe the meme was very old? Not to say that these things don’t happen anymore, but I can access this one specifically just fine.

I’ve never had an account with these. Do I need to create an account with them to freeze my credits? And what kinds of information should I give / not give when I do?

can you clarify on the 7?

 

It’s been a while since I last downloaded anaconda. But I remember when clicking on the download page, it would show the usual “choose your OS > download binary” (eg this archived version in 2019).

Recently I helped someone else set it up and it showed a form to put on email, with smaller gray text near the bottom of the form about skipping it.

Does this count as a dark pattern?

care to elaborate on the possibilities of “really big” that you’re imagining?

[–] inspxtr@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

forgive my naivety, how does such a community avoid promoting ageism?

 

I don’t and never intend to use iCloud. I have everything turned off in “Apps using iCloud”. But once in a while, I have to go to that to inspect, because sometimes a random app would be turned on.

(1) What does it mean to have an app turned on? I tried to log in to my iCloud account and could never figure out where those apps might be stored.

(2) Is there a way to turn it off completely? So I don’t have to always check like a hawk.

Note: version of this is also posted in iPhone@lemmy.ml, I have no idea how to crosspost on memmy. Sorry

As in, no events, no holidays whatsoever in any place in the world. Or maybe the least eventful day of a year.

Maybe statistically, Feb 29 would be the one. But other than that, what else?
