  • While an amazing option for city commutes, mine is close to 100km daily. I have no idea if it's possible to use an e-bike for that, but it would certainly take up even more of my limited free time to do so.

  • It's 100% happening outside as well though invasive ad placements, restriction of access to pleasant environments and underfunding of public services and property, like parks and such. It just takes much longer

  • Imo this doesn't impact the men who would do such a thing in the slightest. You're just making the ones who have empathy feel bad, those who would rape are just getting their egos stoked by this fad: "Look at me, I'm more dangerous than a bear! That means I'm badass"

  • No, the solution would be for every app to be able to licence the music without any exclusivity, making them compete over the features their apps and services have instead of on the music itself. Video streaming is an oligopoly right now, which can be just as bad as a monopoly.

  • If a friend asks me to help with something, I don't removed and moan about my unpaid labour. Fuck that, they're my friends and I wouldn't take the money even if offered. That's just what friends do. The same applies to if I wanted to do something nice for them, like sending them a cool mixtape I made. That's how you build communities! Focusing on payment like you do reduces everything to capitalism but with even less empathy and humanity.

  • I'd prefer no implants ever if I can help it. I'd only be fine with one if it saved my life. Otherwise, there are just too many things that can go wrong with it in ways our current technology can't. You can go off-grid now if you get sick of tech, but that becomes infinitely harder if you have a chip in your brain

  • The summary for this video hurts my eyes to look at.

  • Removed

  • I don't know, I have removed close to 80% of ads in my life. None on my pc, none on my phone, none when I listen to music, none when I play games. Adblocking, Linux and a dash of the old yarr matey worked like a charm

  • I'd be pretty interesting to have access to age demographics for social media. I assume Reddit leans younger than Lemmy, but I'm in my early 20s and so are a few of my friends, and we use Lemmy a lot more.

  • I prefer green tea blends, but I drink black if I need more caffeine. I don't drink coffee at all, so it's my main source of it and I drink most teas without anything else. No milk, no sugar, no honey, nothing. To me, sugar in tea just ruins the taste and milk in tea is really weird to my culture's palette (most people here drink herbal or fruit teas by the way, very few drink green or black)

  • As someone not working in IT and not very knowledgeable on the subject, I've had way less issues with Manjaro than with Mint, despite reading everywhere that Mint "just works". Especially with printers.

  • I'm not saying we are the absolute first, as in there's nobody else, I'm merely saying that we could be among the first civilisations ever to exist. To me, it seems a more plausible explanation than civs just going dark. As far as we know, there's no way to take back a broadcast that has been travelling for centuries, so even if they no longer send anything, what they sent in the past should still be detectable, I think, unless it didn't have enough time to travel here. In which case, the broadcast has been sent relatively recently (no more than a few millenia ago) or we are very far apart.

    When you go to a party and you don't see anyone else there, you don't think "Everyone must be hiding", you think "I must be first", right?

  • I think that presumes simulating a universe and/or consciousness is even possible. We have no clue either way if it can be done, but we have evidence life exists, at least on Earth, so it is possible for life to exist somewhere else too. I believe aliens are more likely than us living in a simulation

  • I think that we may simply be among the first civilisations to reach such a technologically advanced point. By the time a species gets tech that can destroy their civilisation, i reckon they would most likely have also made a broadcast of some sort, either through radio or light or whatever else.

    Granted, there's no real way to know any of this, us being the first is just what I reason is the most likely answer.

  • We call this "fleas" in my language

  • I don't agree. The simple fact that Lemmy is decentralised is a political thing. It's about who has power over the platform, and that is inherently a political issue. The status-quo of other platforms, that being under the control of a corporation, is also a political stance.

    PS: everything is politics, that's not a good or bad thing, it's neutral. If you don't think of something as political, that just means it's oriented towards the status-quo you are used to.

  • Fută-te-ar Stalin

    Pronounced: Foot-uh-tea-are Stalin

    Congrats! You can swear in Romanian now!

  • "I piss in your mother's death"

    Alternatively, "May Stalin fuck you"

    And yes, I live in Eastern Europe.

  • Human leather factory simulator where you send drugged up child soldiers on slave raids while committing war crimes.

    If this comment doesn't get me on some watchlist I don't know what will.
