The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

That needs a character count really. Words isn't a particularly relevant measure when the language uses compound words

Not in favour of this.

I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it's illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance.

They're welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they're here, then everybody wins.

As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let's have a conversation. It's not like there isn't western propaganda

Reminds me of the statement that you can't dissect a rabbit to find out why it's cute

Yea implying that we don't have propaganda and narratives on our side of the wall is naive

If we want the truth then an open discussion is the path. There will be arguments in bad faith, sure. But that's not limited to "them". It's a human discussion thing.

I much prefer a separate server for the simple reason that it makes my desktop somewhat disposable. Reboot whenever, install whatever. If it breaks my server stays up

Basically, the more you isolate the purposes, the less the purposes clash

Yea probably similar to how Lemmy and Kbin are theoretically compatible. ActivityPub doesn't guarantee that, it's only because they happen to use ActivityPub in the same way. If one of them changes their implementation, compatibility breaks.

I do often wonder how much it matters that all these platforms use ActivityPub

The answer is everyone else has to fix climate change. Everyone but me

Seems like OpenAI lobbying the government to pave the way for their technology to become indispensable

No opinion on the accuracy of it, but this is lobbying, not independent opinion

Or if Google implements some kind of feature that requires your browser to vouch that it's not gonna play shenanigans with the page.

Nah, nobody would be that crazy.

It's a bit disingenuous to blame a country for having high emissions when it has 10x the number of people

That means it needs 10x the amount of electricity, vehicle fuel etc.

By the same logic, the Vatican City is a world leader in climate policy.

Should we start comparing China with the Americas and Europe combined? Because that's a more like-for-like comparison

I think its downfall was being a closed beta, which made it useless for communicating with other people who weren't already invited

Yea it's a shame the URL isn't

post/5784366/title_formatted_for_url

Agreed, both are completely required.

You're only one person, you don't have to take full responsibility for all of climate change. But you can take responsibility for your slice of climate change

Psst, somebody tell this person about gendered nouns in every other European language

They usually come with a tare (empty) weight stamped on them. Total weight minus the weight = gas weight

That's to support the Lemmy software but I'm looking to donate to the Lemmy.world instance

Countries like China have awful, awful climate impacts, much worse off than most other countries.

Except that isn't true

Yea it's clunky as hell and unusable for driving, but as a browsable walking map it's the best

Yep, there's an additional filter for those

Same

If you don't read the news, you're uninformed. If you read the news, you're misinformed

As someone who didn't take history beyond the age of... 14? I learned precisely nothing about the American Revolution

Always frustrates me when I hear about why we're so much different to Russia/China because we have laws and safeguards. They mean shit

And if not vegan then at least not beef

Beef is 10x more carbon intensive than pork

Agreed, but I'm talking within the context of climate change

Sounds like you need a cleaner

Could you share a link? I've been trying to find a way to donate

Doesn't that mean unfindable?

Is everyone in Russia responsible for the actions of their government?

Could you expand a bit on what makes it horrible?

Also you just did a "im all for gay rights..., but..."

I did realise I had the classic =/

What's the threshold for "high doses"?

That's exactly the sort if thing they could use it for

I really liked the first two thirds of that film before they went into the black hole

What's the threshold for "high doses"?

If his objective was to inform people, he at least succeeded with me

I do my best to avoid things that were exposed, and it confirms not to trust our "safeguards"

Android Firefox user here. You should be able to three dots > open in Firefox when it opens the web view

How many GB is your filesystem/database as a single-user instance?

I'm using SnappyMail but I'm sadly missing Rainloop

I know it's a fork, but the new work seems sloppy and badly implemented. Rainloop was a brilliant UX. It's a shame it's no longer developed

I miss when phones were hand sized

You can prise my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact from my cold dead hand

Hm, they've pre-emptively blocked threads.net. But yea the list is shorter
