They have millions of posts, and this is the funniest they could find? Sheesh.

Just seems ridiculous that the message is “everyone should give up their creature comforts and live as simply and tediously as possible so that billionaires don’t have to change”.

I never said that. On the contrary: All of it will have to change if life on this planet is supposed to remain livable, and it’s gonna involve quite a bit more than giving up red meat. I also think that having broad public support for that change, built on many individuals who choose to implement it, will make it easier to impose the same demands (e.g., through policy) on corporations and the wealthy. Given that billionaires are not exactly known for being selfless, waiting for them to do the right thing seems like a losing strategy to me.

I used “systemic” with regards to policy. I don’t think corporations change much by themselves without a strong monetary incentive (e.g., shifts in customer preferences) or external pressure (e.g., policy). Changes in individuals are helpful for both of these.

I agree that systemic change is important, too, but 6% of global emissions attributable to a single factor is HUGE. Plus, it’s not one or the other. Changes by individuals supports change at a systemic level.

The two people in charge of the US government—Beavis and Butthead—sure are some queer fellas.

Florida Republicans need to stop drinking swamp water.

Those are better specs than what I used throughout college (an Asus Eee PC running Debian with Xfce and Openbox). Not a powerful machine, but I absolutely loved that thing.

Don’t worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.

I think I just suffered a mild stroke reading this.

This would probably matter more if every search for “windows 10 problem XY” wouldn’t turn up 100% garbage from their support forums anyway.

You could try baobab instead.

I think Lemmy needs a higher-level sign-up procedure that hides the complexity of the fediverse. This could be a webpage with a simple, clutter-free interface that handles picking and registering on an instance from a curated list semi-automatically, for example, by asking you 3-4 questions before giving you a suggested server that fits your responses (which you can change) and a button to register there. The procedure could also handle the occasional additional sign-up requirements that some instances have.

IMHO, 90% of users will never interact with the “federation” aspects of Lemmy after that, and they also don’t need to. I personally don’t feel like Lemmy being federated has much of an impact on my user experience day to day.

Ah yes, the famed document <-> JSON converter.

I can recommend the one I have but have no experience beyond that. It’s a MeacoDry ABC 12l, which I bought because it was small and quiet and didn’t draw too much power. I use it in the bathroom and to dry laundry, so we can trap and remove the moisture in one room and keep the other rooms dry. In the bathroom, it takes about 2-3h to dry it out. Laundry takes about 8-10h to fully dry. The device works through condensation of the air passing through it, so it works best in small rooms that are not too cold. So far, I’m very happy with it. The only thing I miss is an air filter, which some of the bigger models have.

I bought a dehumidifier to save on heating without risking mold last winter. Emptying the water compartment is super satisfying, and I’m still amazed by how much water this thing pulls that would otherwise seep into my wallpapers and such.

Vance: But Peter, won’t everyone realize that you just bought the vice presidency by supporting me?

Thiel: Just tell them “tech people bad” or some shit, they’ll be none the wiser.

igcensorship

This one’s funny. I wonder if they’ll go recursive and add “igcensorshipcensorship” next.

Can confirm. I’m German, and I speak English good.

No, like Settlers. Civ is turn-based. Edit: If you’re looking for a free version of Civ, the FreeCiv (PC) and UnCiv (Android) may interest you.
