there was chrome (and firefox probably?) extension that went through your all fb liked pages and unsubscribed from them so that when it's done timeline is gone entirely. fb went after its dev, removed that extension and banned him forever because it kept people off fb https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-bans-unfollow-everything-developer-delete-news-feed-2021-10 doing this all manually still worked back then, not sure about today

Facebook's letter took him by surprise, he said, adding that Unfollow Everything had only 2,500 weekly active users and 10,000 downloads.

"It was definitely growing, but it wasn't huge," he said.

"Apart from that I just very much saw it as something that improves the Facebook experience for Facebook users," he added, saying he got "amazing feedback" from people saying they "were using Facebook in a way that was much healthier for them."

slightly healthier relationship with attention devouring parasite in your pocket? not on zucc's watch, ALL contents of your skull are to be sourced from and licensed to meta platforms inc exclusively

"has potential" and "could" but never "is"

90% of drugs that enter clinical trials, fail them

"All day Astronomy" seems to be a weird place to take medical news from

it's like the time when some crypto exchange bought ads on one stadium for years in advance and then went under

the waste heat comes from cryogenics system that keeps all of this helium at below 3K. turns out you need to spend a lot of energy to cool down things to temperatures this low

you can't turn a gas into liquid by compression alone if temperature is above critical point, you also need to cool it down. separation is done by fractional distillation, but the reason it's done is mostly about oxygen (medical and steelmaking among some other uses). for nitrogen it's somewhere about -150C. first air is stripped of water and carbon dioxide, then it's turned into a liquid, then it's separated into oxygen, nitrogen and argon, and some large specialized plants also separate xenon, krypton and neon

if you don't actually care for it being a liquid, there's another method called pressure swing adsorption that separates gases based on how tightly do they bind to porous surfaces under pressure. this is how medical oxygen concentrators work

making liquid nitrogen is actually efficient these days, as in not much more energy is used than is actually needed

Saryazdi allegedly said he expected to die during the Gold Coast attack unless he was killed or lobotomised by the Australian spy agency, Asio, the court heard.
