But that's the great thing about Lemmy - you can just go to another instance and continue using Lemmy if you disagree with some admins decisions.

What's your complaint?

I dunno, it delegitimised the usefulness of Twitter somewhat. Now you can't be certain that the NASA account that announces an apocalyptic asteroid is real or not.

I-is Portal the gateway drug to speedrunning?

Are you a speedrunning dealer trying to get me hooked on the light stuff?

No, the title is correct as far as I can tell from quickly skimming the actual Nature article.

Unrelated rant - I hate the fact independent.co.uk hyperlinks the word 'study' which just searches it's own site for the fucking word 'study' rather than linking to the actual source data. Fucking shitstain practices.

I found the original article by plugging the independent article into ground.news. Fucking love that website.

Edit: what's more is that it's eating more than 100g of meat per day is 4 times more GHG than eating vegan. Eating <50g per day is about 2 times more than veganism.

Stuff that's popular with any demographic - but especially mid teens and younger - gets hated on disproportionately when adults that are disinterested see it 'invading' their spaces.

At least that's my take.

Anecdotal experience is great.

I've never once come across a website that doesn't work in Firefox and find Chrome and Edge significantly slower.

Have you tried allowing NSFW posts in your settings? Assuming lemmynsfw.com hasn't been defederated from your instance, then the posts will then show up.

Lemmy.world has not defederated lemmy.ml

You should edit your post; you're spreading disinformation.

I mean, for a while now I'm not even sure you could call those turds polished...

For anyone interested, high-meat diet was defined as >100g meat per day.

Never mind the fact cows release methane which is 25 times more warming than CO².

I'm not really sure the point your trying to make here.

I'd actually prefer it if they opened up to me.

YOU. You're the reason I had to endure that unending two day borefest! /jk

Now I understand where the negativity came from from some redditors; Lemmy is really not lurker friendly, you can't just browse All as easily and see quick dopamine hits.

Gotta choose progressively smaller instances until you self-host.

C. It's a trick question.

Doesn't Google fund Mozilla so it doesn't get done for monopolising the market?

Besides Google's intentions - the funding doesn't influence how Firefox is developed.

Eh, cows are the biggest contributor but all ruminants are applicable as another poster highlighted.

Also the study does include fish eaters too, as a separate dietary category.

Will it actually be cyclical? Twitter and Reddit tearing up their user base has caused the Fediverse to grow. I find it unlikely that - if Twitter and Reddit continue to go the way of Facebook, with the majority of the core user base leaving as enshitification worsens - they go somewhere other than Mastodon or Lemmy.

People can shout about how lemmy/Mastodon aren't user friendly - but with their growth they are massively improving and will continue to do so.

I don't think any fediverse user is concerned about their data being taken. The concern comes from the obvious threat of embrace-extend-extinguish.

Meta's intent is irrelevant; EEE is basically a given of a large corporation because it helps maximise profit.

Sorry, how is GDPR relevant here?

Can't you use an AI voice generator for David Attenborough's voice?

That's the boundary to break I guess - it really doesn't matter which instance you're on; the communities are all the same.

And before someone says 'but the duplicate communities' point me to an example and I'll tell you which one will last to become the community. (Or I'll point out the quadruplicate sub-reddit equivalents.)

Your argument here is that - based on one study suggesting that balanitis falls from 3-11% of males to 2-7.5% of genitally-mutilated males justifies the systemic mutilation of all males in the US?

This is not a medically or scientifically sound argument.

Which someone called out as guerilla marketing - cause apparently you Yanks have baked beans as a traditional 4th July food???

That's a bit of a reductive take on the parent comment.

Human nature to cooperate and share is not mutually exclusive with forming in-groups and out-groups.

So you see, Your Honour, we didn't sell Facebook any data - we just sold Facebook the ability to harvest our users data directly.

The Fediverse is a niche product too, frankly.

And the disruption is the problem. The whole point of EEE is to choke growth of competition.

How is ActivityPub and the Fediverse insulated from this?

I don't think you're right here. Having more good 3rd party apps makes lemmy more accessible, not less.

Presumably Facebook's move into ActivityPub is to prevent or limit users moving to a decentralised alternative to Facebook?

If they sold them in the supermarket, I would absolutely have cricket-fried rice.

Well the prototype wasn't even legs, so maybe we should just come up with an entirely new model?

I vote hexapod.

I don't use separate profiles (which I reckon are analogous to accounts) - but Firefox does have a feature called 'Container tabs' where you can isolate a sessions cookies into a container (default ones are labelled things like Shopping, Personal, Work, etc).

However, I think these are somewhat moot now as I think Firefox handles cookies differently in some way that went over my head - so I'm doing that thing where I post a semi incorrect answer to ensure someone shows up with the correct one.

Huh? I blocked lemmygrad.ml from showing up for me.

Turns out I thought I had, but I did not. But now I don't remember why I thought I had.

I must be going senile.

Does it? That tweet sounds like both Microsoft & Activision and the CMA have agreed to pursue an appeal ASAP, not that Microsoft/Activision have the go ahead from the UK?

All those pesky staff, costing me money to produce value.

wassadifference - reddit was after all just a bunch of message boards that made it easy to skip from one to another.

Imagine if zetaboards - or whatever came before that - had come up with the idea to make it easy for users to cross between different boards.

Try Liftoff until Sync is ready - it's much smoother than Jerboa.

Just be mindful of the default 'All' view is literally all of the lemmyverse - via that view you can't interact with instances that you aren't logged on in.

Instead change it to be 'All@lemmy.world' to use it as normal.

Yes, but GDPR doesn't cover copyright - it covers personal/identifiable data. Unless I am very mistaken?

Having read through that, to me it sounds like the WMF have 'enough' money for 12-18 months ahead - which doesn't sound unreasonable.

Though I do agree the emotional blackmail I've experienced in the past from their fundraising ads would very much suggest otherwise.
