Noticed it when someone posted their recommendations to alternatives to USA platforms, and recommended Piefed over Lemmy. It upset them greatly considering the responses I saw.

Solano@piefed.socialto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Anyone else notice a recent uptick in the .ml vote brigade outside of .ml comms?English61·2 months ago
Regular matter fits that description too, but saying it doesn’t interact with light is not the best way to say it. It’s giving an assumption, that it’s a black body because we cannot see it with our current tech. The flash light responder of my first comment is ironic, because you can think of a dark night with a flash light failing to illuminate things perpendicular to the beam. Space is vast, and we know physics does some strange things depending of the scale (tiny or huge). Have you pondered any of these questions: If there was enough light to illuminate everything in the universe, would space look black? When you think about solar systems, do you imagine stars at the center of them? Have you thought about solar systems that do not have the critical mass to ignite a star? What if the percentage of dark matter lines up with percentage of solar systems without a star to illuminate nearby objects? Is there really a large planet out in the Oort cloud, or is there that much little rocks out there we cannot see? And, on top of all that, I know for a fact there isn’t solid evidence for any explanation yet, but people will not be scientific and disregard anything that’s not the popular meme. But again, that is the common reaction through out history of new theories, until they are proven definitively. Even then people will believe the old norms in the face of facts. MIT is famous in teaching to brainstorm ever single possible solution, no matter how dumb or weird it is, because it might actually not be later on. Science isn’t about sticking to a popular belief and defending it only, as that will stifle progress. There are lots of things we don’t fully understand, and that’s okay, but the unknown can be scary (and we have seen conservatives do some awful stuff in fear of changing their world views). We don’t fully understand gravity as a “force”. There are drugs we don’t fully understand what exactly happens in our body, but see the side effects. We don’t fully understand how the brain works. DNA was mapped but understanding it is going to take a very long time with research. I knew the type of responses I would get for not saying the popular theory (But hoped I would pleasantly surprised with mindfulness). And I do mean theory in the scientific definition, but most people treat it as scientific laws. Have you notice how people talk about the big bang theory, like they been there and seen it, the conviction in the way it’s spoken, using that background radiation as the main source. I welcome new evidence, and will change my guesses/hypotheses when it comes, as all scientifically minded should. I just think it’s wrong to clinch on to popular beliefs and not properly lay out assumptions.
Right. Wish people were more scientifically minded around here. My guess is just the most simple one, and I welcome challenge to it with the mark my words part.
Dark matter is just matter hidden in darkness, hence we cannot see it. It’s not some extraordinary substance. Mark my words.

Solano@piefed.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Congressman Fine Introduces Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act to Strengthen U.S. National Security and Put Our Adversaries on NoticeEnglish1·3 months agoPeople in general suck, they really do. I meant the news is shit and there is evil going around, and all the responses is more evil actions, in the world. Woman gets murdered in the open, and ICE starts door to door and increasing efforts as the murderer goes into witness protection. Meanwhile the governor says some words and warns, but does no actions, allowing the evil to continue marching. No one is doing anything to stop this fascism. And on top of that, misinterpretations on the internet is still king of perception.

Solano@piefed.socialto News@lemmy.world•FBI investigating after ICE officer fatally shoots woman in MinneapolisEnglish81·3 months agoFBI is there to cover for the fascists, to make sure it stays a federal issue. Pedo can only pardon federal cases.
Worst part of all of this is no one is asking who the murderer is, name, titles, address, etc. Ofc the victim is identified and plastered everywhere in the news, but not the murderer.

I switched from android to GrapheneOS because of battery life and non-easily-replaceable battery (the security is a bonus), and doing so exposed me to F-driod and the FOSS apps that brought back sanity from the enshittifcation of mobile apps, including cool little games like 2048. It’s a nice little game. Congrats on the score. Recently, I found an emulator for the TI-89 calculator and was surprised that TI had a free to download ROM OS for it on their website. I wouldn’t have found this stuff if I wasn’t pushed out of corporate walled hellscapes, something, something silver lining and all that.
