I respect that angle :)

This has become one of the useless marketing figures everyone chases because they made it seem important in the first place.

I absolutely prefer having something a bit thicker, as it fits the palm better.

No one said you can only uninvite guests

Post text elaborates on it. Standard Save page option commonly fails to preserve JavaScript elements.

My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.

Adapter or charger. Rarely - power brick.

Yeah, it’s generally better in here in that respect. Transphobia is massively downvoted and commonly banned as well.

There are quite a few trans communities here, too, if you belong to the group and seek a friendly environment.

This made me realize that, throughout basically all of Viking history, Islam was already a thing. Curious.

Wait, there’s more!

Pedophilia is a sexual/romantic interest in prepubescent children. Most pedophiles never engage sexually with a child, and a good share of child molesters are not pedophiles and are just looking for easy victims.

So on top of potentially shitting on LGBT community, this also concerns people born with a shitty sexual interest that know full well kids should never be abused.

And the rates of pedophilia seem to be higher among child sexual abuse survivors, so they get death threats on top of their trauma. Not great.

Allah is known in Christianity as God the Father, part of Trinity. Being an Abrahamic religion, Islam simply expands on Christianity, while describing much the same characters.

Except Muslims do not recognize the Trinity as a thing; God the Holy Spirit is to them Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus (Isa) is a prophet, not a Son of God.

Good. Seriously, I hope such actions will be met with complaints and lawsuits everywhere.

Sexual life is a very sensitive and intimate subject, and it’s bad enough that she even had policemen invade it by opening the box (though this in particular is obviously a necessary part of police operations), let alone make a laughing matter out of it.

In general, though, I hope we will be able to eventually get more open about such things, so that it would be seen as a regular set of household items, even if it’s hidden from plain sight.

Tankies are among the most active contributors not only to content, but also to the platforms themselves.

Lemmy, the very platform you’re currently on, is made by one.

I’d rather see less left infighting - that will suffice.

Welcome!

What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids

Other than these, some specific recommendations:

• Gardiner Bryant ([email protected]) - tech YouTuber dipping toes into PeerTube

• Oh The Urbanity! ([email protected]) - urbanism and sustainable development

• ASMR of the Fediverse ([email protected]) - self-explanatory, ASMR videos specifically produced and released on the Fediverse. Exclusive high-quality content!

• Making Waves/Roots and Calluses ([email protected] & [email protected]) - personal/professional blogs of a marine biologist Kate Hildenbrand, both very worth a watch

• Veronica Explains ([email protected]) - a very cute and non-typical Linux channel from a veteran tech enthusiast

• Films ([email protected]) - old but gold public domain films

• Historical Shorts ([email protected]) - some more tapes from the past

Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

At first, it may look like there’s mostly garbage and then some privacy enthusiasts, but that’s only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

Give it a spin!

Thanks, will pay closer attention to that.

Care to share examples of such misuse or alternative research?

Here’s an example research: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaq0216

Move to renewable energy. We have the necessary capacity, just keep installing renewable sources and phasing out the rest. Keep nuclear plants operational as long as they’re safe, too, but don’t waste too much resources building new ones.

Keep on moving electric storage from lithium ion to pumped hydro/sodium ion/other technologies depending on scale. Leave lithium ion for portable electronics and specialized cases only.

Develop better public transit networks, ideally make it free like in some cities. Also, make bicycle lanes mandatory for new neighborhoods, and convert old roads to have bicycle lanes whenever possible. With that, you won’t need to ban cars as they’ll grow less relevant (although you can increase tax on car sales to raise money and further disincentivise car ownership).

Also, develop high-speed rail whenever it makes sense, as an organic and much more ecological replacement for planes. Make sure they are modular enough to scale for demand, to avoid dragging extra.

Plant more trees and algae to help scrub the extra CO2. Intensify marine plastic collection efforts to assist the natural growth of marine ecosystems.

Ban petroleum-based plastics whenever possible. For most applications, there are more friendly biologically produced options; they are fairly cheap, too, it’s just that regular plastic is even cheaper.

Extend reduce-reuse-recycle. Make more places serve into your own tare, make use (on a personal level) of what you normally throw away, and for what you do throw away, make sure it gets into recycling. Get creative! For example, did you know some used plastic bottles can be turned into a 3D printer filament? You can go wherever from there!

Reduce beef production/import and consumption. For what you do consume, make sure it comes from milk breeds, because otherwise you don’t share the ecological footprint with the dairy, which skyrockets the footprint of a steak. In any case, beef is the single most terrible food source in terms of ecological footprint, being several times worse than pork, poultry and dozens to hundreds times worse than plant foods.

Oh, and the AI centers currently in construction by tech giants are becoming one extra major point of concern. We should review which of these are actually necessary, because this thing doesn’t seem to stop scaling up, with some planned centers consuming as much energy as a major city.
