  • To add onto that: dots are short, dashes are long. So if you’re using a flashlight, or something else, it would be:

    short, short, short, long, long, long, short, short, short

    Then include a small pause (1-3 seconds) once you’ve sent the SOS before repeating. You want to continuously repeat this for as long as you can until you know someone’s received your message.


  • As much as I want to see Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse flourish; at the same time, I hope it doesn’t.

    Once the fediverse becomes popular and gains main-stream attention, the billionaires and political twats will flock towards it and try to monetize it; Morons will flood the fediverse with memes and AI slop worse than !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world (you know what you’ve done); corporations will start spamming ads for their shitty products; and scammers will start setting up bot nets to coerce users into sending them money to their new AI waifus.

    The unbearable weight of all the garbage entering and attacking the fediverse will drive moderators out the door, leaving servers as wastelands of junk. No longer interesting, no longer human. Just trash, like how Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc… are today.

    So yes, I’ll welcome friends and family into the fediverse with open arms. But I really hope we don’t start getting too many shout outs

    It’s a comic about not being able to sleep, so I checked what time it was posted at. They posted it at ~5am which is a time people are usually asleep. So it checks out that OP posted the comic when they were presumably having trouble falling asleep. Bbuutt im calling myself out in assuming that no one lives in another time zone. There is/was a running joke that people think other time zones don’t exist






  • I work in the education space and my biggest worry is the next generation losing the ability to critically think.

    Just like how Gen X is much better at mental math than Millennials because the invention of pocket calculators / calculators on phones made math trivial; I think AI is going to trivialize critical thinking. We (as a Millennial) still had to hunt for a correct answer to our problems, which forced us to question possible answers we found and used our critical thinking skills to determine if it was a valid answer or not. With AI though, you type in your question and it’ll spit out an answer. For easy questions - it’s great. But for anything a little more nuanced, it struggles still. So if we don’t develop our critical thinking skills on easy questions, I wonder how we’ll do on the harder questions
