I look forward to your original contribution, "Atomic Noise: Acoustic Vibrations at Nanomolecular Scale." Reviewer 2 can suck it, 'cause this one's about to blow up!

I call dibs on p = 0.93. That's the probability that I will open my stats software, poke around for a while, then rage quit when I don't find what I'm looking for
Is anyone else having problems with the Feeld app on GrapheneOS? I'm in an urban area and have set my filters wide (100 miles), but see nothing when I open the app.

Given how much energy AI is gobbling up, with no end in sight, I wouldn't take the bet that 2024 is the peak year for CO2 emissions. I'd love to be wrong.

I'm sure this has happened before, but I'm not finding any stats that tell me when. Does anyone know how to look that up? Edit: Apparently this is the first time! https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-division-series-tied-1-1-for-first-time

Hey, stop shilling for landlords and join us down here in People Land. It's not too late. Don't be an apologist for the fucked-up systems ravaging our planet. Money sucks; we're better off without it. People can care for each other like we've been doing for hundreds of thousands of years. Stretch your imagination a bit, friend. The system you're defending is very recent, and it's very fucked. It does not deserve your allegiance.

I also want to use these whenever someone tells me "Covid's over" so I can take off my mask. "Oh, it's not for Covid" I'll say as I lower my N-95, revealing my dripping, bloody maw

I find this argument compelling:
"We have a physiological need for privacy. Mammals in particular respond poorly to surveillance. We consider it a threat because animals in the wild are tracked by predators, and it makes us feel like prey."

I'm so proud of Jaclyn. She found all those neutrinos in the ice water. Nobody else could find 'em but Jaclyn sure could
I realize this is an absolutely unhinged thing to ask for: Can anyone direct me to a large database of company names with websites (just those two columns), ideally 100K rows or more, that I can access for free? Basically this database if it had another column with the company name: https://github.com/cygenta/top10million (but doesn't need to be anywhere near 10 million)
I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?
Specifically Paris and London. There are U.S. sports-themed bars in both cities, but with the time difference, the bars will be closed by the times the games start. I'm willing to pay, get a VPN, and/or go to a sketchy streaming site. Any suggestions? Thanks hockey fam!
Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.) I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?

Petitions are annoying, but I'm hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.
I'm setting up a laptop with Mint (Cinnamon) for a person who needs text-to-speech software. It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary. Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives? And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?
Someone I am very close to has become increasingly isolated. She doesn't want to do anything except watch "documentaries" like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfzupXBlrIU She doesn't want to socialize, because "no one understands what's really going on." She mentioned recently that she has a Telegram account, so I'm assuming that's where at least some of this garbage is coming from. I'm worried about her. Her life is already hard, and this stuff is making her paranoid and more isolated than she already was. Is there anything that helps bring people out of this?? I have my own radical ideas, but they are about the need to abolish capital and the State. This person has never really responded to leftist politics when I've brought it up, but maybe I need to try again. Any help or advice? I really worry about her.
I'm digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I'm a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing. How do I find projects on GitHub, GitLab, or other sites that need this kind of help? The machines I would be testing on are a potato desktop running Pop_OS Linux and an Android phone. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thanks y'all! I got this working by installing [mutt](https://www.tecmint.com/send-mail-from-command-line-using-mutt-command/) and configuring it with my Gmail info. Please note the warning from [u/jherazob](https://beehaw.org/u/jherazob@beehaw.org) below--if this were something mission critical I would not want to rely on this solution. ================ Noob question incoming, thanks in advance for any help with this! I have a specific use case in which I want to send an automated email or text to myself once a day (the message is different each time--otherwise I would just set an alarm, lol!). I'm running Pop_OS on an old desktop computer. Where I'm stuck is getting an email to successfully send from the command line. I'm looking for easy-to-follow instructions that would help me do that, and none of the articles or videos I've come across thus far have helped. I'm aware of Twilio and other services that send SMS messages, but I'm looking for something free. Especially since I only need to text one person (myself), and infrequently at that. Below is my attempt to send an email with the telnet command. Nothing ever came through... ``` XXXXXXXX@pop-os:~$ telnet localhost smtp Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 pop-os ESMTP Exim 4.95 Ubuntu Sun, 07 Jan 2024 15:12:28 -0500 HELO gmail.com 250 pop-os Hello localhost [::1] mail from: XXXXXXXX@gmail.com 250 OK rcpt to: XXXXXXXX@gmail.com 250 Accepted data 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself Subject: Test Body: Is this working? . 250 OK id=1rMZW4-0002dj-Uy quit ```
