  • Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
  • PonceDeLeon PonceDeLeon 1y ago 100%

    I only ever used Usenet back in the day when my college threatened to shut off my internet if there was any more p2p traffic.

  • How does the popularity of Lemmy.world compare to kbin.social?
  • PonceDeLeon PonceDeLeon 1y ago 0%

    Weird. I was only trying the mobile website without a kbin account. Another example :/

    https://Lemmy.world/pictrs/image/82de5184-542f-4d38-9f40-31b71eb3ea8e.png

    Maybe one just needs a kbin account to view the search results?

    Yields empty result

    I've searched for Lemmy world communities on kbin and came up dry. There's a problem of communication between the sites.

    You wear windbreakers, I break wind.

  • What is a childish thing you still fully enjoy as an adult?

    I enjoy shirking my responsibilities and doing nothing, if I can help it.

  • Gas stoves pollute homes with benzene, which is linked to cancer
  • PonceDeLeon PonceDeLeon 1y ago 100%

    The bottom of this EPA Document says that following the lifetimeimita of benzene exposure will result in a likelihood of developing cancer at 1 in a million chances.

    The article didn't mention exposure limits, but I would think that stovetop production of benzene is far less than industrial sources of exposure such as the oil industry or on tankers, that the federal limits were created for.

    Favourite non-fiction reads?
  • PonceDeLeon PonceDeLeon 1y ago 100%

    The last non-fiction book I read, that I enjoyed, was The Winter Fortress by Neal Bascomb. It's about a team of saboteurs hiding out from the Nazis. They were instrumental in delaying Hitler from creating the components necessary to make nuclear weapons.

    I'm currently enjoying some Mr. Mythos.

    He seems well researched and well spoken.

    Yep. On plebbit you were able to actively hide certain posts. I would like posts to remain available on communities I car about.

  • Sol Reader is a VR headset exclusively for reading books
  • PonceDeLeon PonceDeLeon 1y ago 100%

    Even while lit, e-ink appears different than a backlit screen. Being front lit, it does still mimic a book being lit by a light. Eye fatigue is a big talking point when considering backlit vs frontlit displays.

  • Does anyone have any recommendations for material discussing Atlantis, or similar "lost" civilizations? I know of [Atlantis by Donnely](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis:_The_Antediluvian_World). And, The Story of Atlantis by [W. Scott Elliot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Scott-Elliot) though I haven't personally read this one. In the same vein, do you have any favorite video channels that discuss these topics? I know of MrMythos on YT and his series discussing Atlantis as well as Inner Earth.
