  • The richest 1% just used an entire year’s worth of carbon in around one week of 2026

    Jump

  • Lol. The idea that you think individual people making 60k a year where they are largely traveling nowhere other than to work and back are the ones that decrease their emissions by 97% is just bonkers.

    That metric in the article, in conjunction with the OOP's article, which quite likely accurate, doesn't accrue enough accuracy on where the weight of blame lies imo.

    The correlated idea borderlines on original sin nonsense. And yes, while simply existing in the inefficient system that is the US rises your carbon footprint, there are far more significant measures that could be made than telling people edging the poverty line to reduce their emissions.

    Also your link you keep posting around doesn't seem to account for cost of living, PPP, taxation etc, or if it does, it doesn't seem to source it. It would be interesting to see how those numbers change with those variables accounted for.

  • GenAI has started to kill open source projects

    Jump

  • I'm seeing it quite a lot on mastodon where maintainers from big projects, like even curl, are expressing their grief and annoyance with ai generated bug reports wasting their time and overwhelming them. I don't think it's an isolated incident.

  • Water shortages could derail UK’s net zero plans, study finds | Tensions grow after research in England finds there may not be enough water for planned carbon capture and hydrogen projects

    Jump

  • That's objectively untrue.

    Tress definitely capture carbon, the only time they don't offset their output is if they die early.

  • Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent

    Jump

  • That first paragraph, do you have a source for that?

    I tried to find proof and all I could find was that the grand jury that was hearing it as a felony refused to indict, so the prosecutors went with a misdemeanor that doesn't require a grand jury indictment.

    There were a few OTHER instances of grand juries refusing to indict other people accused on assaulting federal officers, but those were unrelated to the incident in question.

    I'm not even sure it's legal (...not that legality matters to this regime, I know) to shop grand juries ... like that first paragraph implied, is it?

  • What I'm playing 🪝🐶 Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines | Grappling hook platforming goes multiversal

    Jump

  • What are you talking about? Just because the post is long?

  • Why no hair? Trump slams Time cover

    Jump

  • This is going over my head, what am I missing?

  • Loops - short form video with ActivityPub - is now open source!

    Jump

  • Pixelfed is more of the Instagram replacement.

    Loops is TikTok focused.

    No comment on the rest of your post, just FYI.

  • Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good

    Jump

  • Those are for widgets that you choose to enable. Hard to access search features without permission to search, if you don't want them, all you have to do is ... not enable them / disable them if you flipped the on ...

    Kvaesitso is awesome, updates regularly, and was the best launcher I found that worked for my use case transition from Nova.

    Granted I avoided trying a lot of the Freemium ones, or others.that were corporate controlled. Not interested in a forced migration 2.0, open source is nice cause it can always be forked if something happens.

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Yeah this article read as more of a hit piece and promotion of GrapheneOS than anything else. All the "news" in the article is weeks old too.

  • New Soft Rule: Tagging posts as [GenAI] when they contain Generative AI

    Jump

  • You can edit titles in Lemmy. So they can add it afterwards.

  • 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets

    Jump

  • So while that could 100% be real, the tweet source is a shady Nazi promoting rag, just to provide some context. It's full of propaganda and fearbait even with a Hitler worship piece in their recent articles this year.

  • Hackers Weaponize KeePass Password Manager to Deliver Malware & Steal Passwords

    Jump

  • This kinda feels like a search algorithm hitpiece on KeepPass rather than an informative article.

    Not that it bags on KeepPass specifically, but it's basically just describing malicious ads, phishing, and man in the middle attacks, all of which the rest of everything online is effected by...

    Like I guess it's good to know, but I don't think it's really going to help anyone that didn't already know to not click on shitty ad links.

    Maybe I glossed over something in the article though,*shrug.

  • Biden Commutes Sentence of Judge Who Took Kickbacks for Sending Kids to For-Profit Juvenile Detention

  • It's good to give yourself advice, I'd err on being kinder tho, sounds like you need it.

  • Biden Commutes Sentence of Judge Who Took Kickbacks for Sending Kids to For-Profit Juvenile Detention

  • Well that number is pulled out of your ass, utilizing the same logic you could say 100% of Americans helped get Trump elected and it isn't technically untrue.

  • Moderators Across Social Media Struggle to Contain Celebrations of UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Assassination

    Jump

  • The positions you take lately, and the arguments you make lately are increasingly disappointing.

    No one owes .world anything... If those in control make questionable decisions, they are going to be called out regardless of aggressive moderation, it's all federated, kinda the point.

    "Can't take he heat, get out of the kitchen..." and all that jazz...

  • Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

    Jump

  • What do you think happens when someone with a treatable condition that would normally lead to death is denied medication for that condition?

    They don't magically get better.

    Under his leadership he had the highest (by far) denial of coverage rate of any healthcare company in the world.

    And was trying to push the number of denial to 90+%.

    That is millions of people.

    Do you think they all magically got better?

    The big question to me is, why doesn't THAT bother you nearly as much? I don't see your comments sharing any outrage in that direction.

  • Loops by Pixelfed is finally sending out welcome emails after weeks

    Jump

  • It still looks pretty standard for a social media platform, it covers their bases for legalities. I can see how someone could read that and be concerned, but I'll bet https://mastodon.social/@dansup would reply if someone asked a question for clarification on mastodon, he's generally really good about that.

    Edit Update: Seems like someone had similar concerns and dansup replied here: https://mstdn.social/@EdanOsborne/113413398742299770

  • What exactly is a red flag there? It seems pretty boilerplate from a quick skim.

  • Wanna source that? Cause I've been following loops a bit and haven't seen anything close to that. If anything it's the opposite.
