as it is in most of the world

I have seen an image just like this one years ago, and it has been forever since stuck in my head. i know i must have it downloaded somewhere on an old phone, but i’m not gonna search through thousands of other images just to find it lol

no, if you turn off the generator, you don’t make more money; other companies who also produce electricity make more money.

idk what you’re cooking but it’s mostly bread and cheese and some vegetables for me. vegetables can be eaten raw, so i don’t even need to turn on the stove.

smart, growing algae in your backyard ;-)

i think they took a list of all publicly accessible fediverse instances and then just looked up the IP address for each of them, and then the geographic location for each IP address. most of this process could be automated somehow, but you still need to create the website and the hella cool intro :D

what difference does that make?

“everything is brighter with a molotov cocktail” - i learned that today

yeah but the trouble is also that if other jobs close down, people are gonna push into your field and take up the jobs too

advocate for socialism which i have been doing for years.

There’s 10⁹ living cells in a gram of surface soil, and in 20 km depth that reduces to 10⁶ cells per gram, but they’re still alive and actively metabolizing down there! eating rock, mmhm tasty rock oh yeah! :p

they have cell turnover rates of hundreds of years though, so they age very slowly and multiply very slowly due to energy shortage.

The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2028 runbook proves that they’re not even trying.

Just for reference: this was the previous poll https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/58355506

and i want to say that it seems in no way “clear” to me that people overwhelmingly wanted comics by bigoted artists banned. i think you’re mixing quite a lot of your own ideology into this post and projecting your views on the majority.

or for everyone without a shitload of money

ooh yeah that could be lol i completely forgot about that. wasn’t that last year? (checks calendar) oh no

understandable, have a good day.

Downvote because your post is mostly tribalism. It’s “us users” vs “them evil state who want to surveil us”.

Have you actually spent time considering whether age verification is beneficial? Whether parents think that their children spend too much time online, or whether the teenagers think that themselves? Have you taken their input and concerns serious?

Many people i know irl are saying that children should spent less time online and maybe only in cleaner parts of the internet, which excludes a lot of sites. and they’re not saying that because they want to surveil everyone, but because they want to live a simple, unworried life that keeps them away from danger.

I think headbashing won’t bring us anywhere, we need to listen to people’s concerns and take them seriously, and respond with clever wits and thorough analysis.

oh and before any of you say “well, parents already have the ability to limit what children can do on their smartphones”. well, i did a lot of surveys about who knows these abilities, and who uses them, including here on lemmy, and the result is pretty bleak. 99.9% of people don’t know any parental controls, and many believe that there are no effective parental controls today. if you think otherwise, please provide examples.

Everybody who’s complaining about “the rich” or “the oligarchs” should invest a few thoughts into how to actually formulate a law that makes society a better place.

What we need is people who actually write up policy proposals. It doesn’t matter whether you have a senate majority, you need to write the policy proposals now. What actually changes things is societal pressure, and you only build that up by showing that another way is possible, which you show by writing down how exactly you would run an alternative society. For which you have to write down policy proposals.
