Really weird reading an article that interviews someone you’ve worked for (who is a billionaire themselves).

as an instance admin I will let you know that lemmy (the software) runs very very poorly.

buying a pan increases demand for that item, which then gets built in those factories that then pollute the water you drink and the air you breathe. So yeah, they’re directly correlated.

recent studies have stated that the pans offgas from manufacturing for weeks after you’ve bought them, no heating needed, so no, that’s not correct. and it was known that they offgas at only 325ºF years ago. https://www.ewg.org/research/canaries-kitchen

so no, teflon pans are bad no matter how you use them, they’re bad for the environment, they’re bad for your health, they’re bad for animals, they’re bad for babies that haven’t been born yet.

using a pan means you have to construct that pan, in a factory that pollutes massive amount of PFAS directly into the soil and water table.

According to a video I watched yesterday, it’s not random, it’s because they’re bored teenagers

Hilariously I left this post then scrolled down just a few posts and found this. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/24/killer-whales-attacking-sinking-boats-are-bored-scientists-say/73558157007/

You ask them to add a license, you don’t suggest a license.

that’s so weird because I got an email inviting me to participate and I haven’t ever been considered a ‘prolific poster’. I’m only at 60k and 12 years. I had no clue I was invited until I looked in my spam folder.

This is my favorite version of this so far.

Just so you know, there are some major security issues on 0.18. That’s why programming.dev immediately updated. The later bugs on 0.19 we were easily able to work around, while the security issues are major and should be resolved as soon as you can, as it affects every user.

YouTube. Twitch is cancer. Also you can rewind, start over, etc in the middle of a stream. You’re not going to miss anything.

Man this would have been great to have read a day ago.

Yes, you’re essentially paying for download capacity. But I never have to worry about viruses or my ISP saying anything. And downloads are instant.

I haven’t tried it for gaming or music. Like always, piracy is a service problem. Spotify and Steam have solved the service problem so I pay for those. Haven’t felt like pirating in a game in 14 years due to it, and spotify literally has every song I could ever want to listen to on the planet.

By not torrenting. Use Usenet instead. Way safer and easier. Once I went Usenet I literally haven’t touched a single torrent in over a decade.

Good place to start with the 8 out of ten thing is with the pew research comparing the public vs scientists opinions on things.

We watched that ad too. Hilariously enough it was on a video for the trailer for Lego movie two or whatever.
