Re: [FRIAM] Please Help. Was it a dream?
Deliberate creation of "fake news" is a new trend that may have contributed to polarization of society, especially in poor countries at the edge of the first world like Macedonia http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/macedonian-teen-claims-trump-supporters-paid-him-60k-to-produce-fake-news-during-campaign_us_584ac403e4b0bd9c3dfc51b7 On the other hand we have classic media like the NY Times or Huffington Post to distinguish between real news and fake news, so it might just be an attempt to increase censorship and to constrain freedom of speech. -Jochen Original message From: Nick Thompson Date: 12/10/16 05:59 (GMT+01:00) To: Friam Cc: David West Subject: [FRIAM] Please Help.

Dear FF’s (Fellow Friammers) Since the election, I have bothered you all, individually and collectively, to consider, given the web’s role in the balkanization of our political discourse, what the web’s role might be in knitting us back together again.

Sorry, Nick, I can't remember. Reminds me of a joke I just saw: "Well, if smoking weed destroys your short-term memory, then what does smoking weed do?"

[FRIAM] Quick android driving question
Not litterly! Is there a way to clear out stuff running in the background? For example after I've finished a routine call then hang up.When I switch back to what ever I might have been doing. Phone is still running. I feel like I'm missing a basic button so as I don't unintionally end up with like 9 apps running at the sametime.

Re: [FRIAM] Quick android driving question
Press the soft button to the left of the home button. This pops up a kind of task manager with a list of running tasks. Swipe on a task to end the task. Works on my Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace running Android 4.4.4. This feature is fairly new, so YMMV. On my previous phone, you had to do it through the application manager (in settings), and it was a PITA.

Re: [FRIAM] Please Help. Was it a dream?
Nick , Perhaps a nightmare? The intriguing aspect of what has happened worldwide, is that reaction is focused on the "Elites" An Italian Political Scientist suggested that the left and the right joined forces for the first time to stop Renzi's referendum just as in Britain. http://www.nature.com/news/italian-scientists-won-t-miss-departing-prime-min ister-matteo-renzi-1.21139 What are we not seeing. The Dutch are laying charges of Hate Speech on Wilders. But who are they and how can they be distinguished from the real elites. Are the "Elites" the same as the shadowy "Bank-sters" Anyone able to clarify, please do. vib From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Nick Thompson Sent: December-09-16 10:59 PM To: Friam Cc: David West Subject: [FRIAM] Please Help.
