I think the purpose of the duress pin is different. It’s for when someone hands you your phone and forces you to unlock it. In those circumstances the things you mentioned wouldn’t suffice

My name is Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau

I agree that it does feel alarmist, but to be fair, the article mentioned multiple times that the research isn’t established just yet. In the end it sort of reminds me of the radiation doses from x-rays and CT scans. You have to weigh the potential risks with the potential benefits when deciding to practice with a firearm.

Just gonna point out that correlation does not imply causation. The argument needs to be deeper than just the stats.

Side question, why are you writing that symbol instead of ‘th’?

I know that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but imo not getting recommendations from YouTube’s algorithm at all might be better. Why? From the Cambridge analytica scandal we have proof that these algorithms have the capability to manipulate people’s ideologies without their consent. I think your algorithm basically personalizes an indoctrination strategy. The idea is not new, it has been talked about in the famous book ‘Manufacturing consent’.

Let’s say, they don’t have a grand political plan behind their algorithm, but even then, the algorithm is just optimizing your feed for maximum engagement rather than intellectual nourishment. They just want you to watch more and more. And not spend much time to stop, think and reflect.

As for recommendations, you can get them organically from your close friends (they’d def be happy to send you a bunch lol) or from lemmy communities (like the documentaries ones)

I think they mainly fear that if they pardoned him, it will create a knock on effect leading to even more whistleblowers. People who were on the fence about becoming whistleblowers would see that the repercussions aren’t that severe anymore and hence might take that step.

I hope this gains traction. We don’t need faster scientific advancement at the expense of principles. It’ll be a net negative if we did that.

I’ve also used Tuta. Just gonna point out that some shopping sites didn’t accept my Tuta email. I haven’t used it with financial stuff tho so can’t comment on that.
