The final product is dried and harvested, with minimized water, land and energy use, Galy says.

That's why. Cotton is notoriously bad in all of those categories. To that I would add the most cotton grown commercially is paired with a lot of pesticides as well.

This is not good. Thanks for highlighting this. I flagged this for my company’s enterprise risk management committee to consider and act upon.

Cost of doing business. This is a rounding error somewhere.

This whole thing is a shame and I still am going through a morning period about it. Reddit will persist in some diminished state. I can only hope the quality communities and people move here, and that Lemmy rapidly improves (though it is very usable now). The trends so far are good. The value of social media lies in the user base.

Let this be a lesson to all who produce and manage content (that's us users and mods). Don't use platforms that are destined to monetize your data at your expense.

To the supreme court they go... I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.

I agree with the OP on this. Tie them up defending against an attack that will never happen. NATO is a defensive alliance.

I think X led the way in robotic hellscape innovation that's now being adopted by Reddit.

They will find something to moan about, probably several somethings. Most of it will be made up bullshit non-issues or things they do themselves when they are in power. This is the Party of Grievance.

I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up.

Advertising clearly does work on the whole or who would companies spend so much gold on it? Advertising shits in your head. It subtly influences consumers and advertisers have become quite sophisticated about it. There is a glut of advertising space available now so we see awful and ineffective ads but be assured a lot of the bigger players know what they are doing. This is why I block all ads. Well for that reason plus they are annoying as hell.

It’s kind of famous for some stupidly bad questions & answers.

I don't attribute it to an organized plan but they are stumbling and shuffling their way towards a dark future, one step at a time.

I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It's all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.

Haha, that’s bold

I never heard of it until now. I'm a veteran of trying out and dumping so many note taking solutions. I'm certain to try this one, too! Maybe I'll finally find The One.

I'm done with corporate platforms

They are laying the groundwork for an autocratic government. With the right measures in place, it could happen fast.

Can you imagine if either of us did 10% if what he did? Our cases would be long complete and we'd be in prison.

That looks fabulous. I'm going to give that a try for certain. Thanks for posting.

Old Reddit quality post (I mean peak Reddit not the dystopia its quickly becoming). Awesome site! Very funny and useful. Thanks for posting.

I rarely shop there. It all has to do with the answer to the question, will I ever need this tool again?

You are so right.

It's the party of grift. Don't expect anything to change. Keep the plebs angry and afraid, endorse the racism they require, and rake it in while they serve their true masters, the 1%.

I installed it and took a quick look. It reminds me of Obsidian's approach. I got excited about that, too, but I found it very burdensome to use in practice. What I need is a sort of life log that grabs a lot of stuff quietly from integrations and that I can then further augment (for things like meeting notes). The problem with all of these graph approaches (for me) is that they become burdensome to manage.

I have been very happy with Mint in the USA but as I note in a reply thread below, it is useless for international travel. Use an ESIM app instead. On my latest trip to Europe it worked for about 5 minutes upon landing and then I got kicked off the network and it never worked again. Simultaneously, my login in the Mint app was invalidated... and I cannot login now via any channel. I use a password manager so it is not user error. I'm back home now but the login issue persists and I have a ticket open for it. I can get only get into my account if I follow this path:

• go to mintmobile.com and hit login
• click send password
• receive one-time verification code by SMS and enter that
• when prompted I enter my one-password from my Authenticator
• when prompted I pick a new password and press enter

Once I do that I drop into my account, authenticated. If I log out again, the new credentials never work.

I have to wonder if I tripped some sort of fraud control in Europe.

This makes perfect sense and should be expected. Many business models are incompatible with ethics (see Meta for an example). The business model defines their behavior. Having these teams is a PR exercise for such organizations.

very cool

NPR New Music Friday is helpful a lot of the time

Replace any demographic's use of the word God with Zeus to gain a more objective perspective.

Yeah, they aren't great machines. I switched to Bosch.

It's a serious problem. Saint-Gobain significantly polluted the groundwater in southern New Hampshire. Job done, they are exiting the state looking for greener pastures to pollute.

Well said, Onion. This guy is soooo corrupt!

Indeed it does, but I still found it an interesting read.

I wish this would catch on and spread.

Glad to see this

Thats's gonna leave a mark.

I agree. Thanks for posting. This is very, very concerning.

Exactly what I was thinking and planned to say here when I came to the comments. Well said. This is Meal Team Six stuff for kids who grew up watching too many bad action movies.

I think it's because privacy is less an issue with podcasts (ads don't have as many options to track) and enshitification of the experience has been on a slower roll than, say, youtube. Lately some solutions are out there in the form of commercial apps but they are limited and who knows if their biz model will survive. I'd like to see an open source solution but I haven't found one.

It’s all a bit of an arms race (to the bottom). If my competition is freely allowed to obscure the true cost, I’m at a disadvantage not to do the same. Government intervention is needed.
