The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.

I’ve been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).

I think we are saying the same thing. The best option is the recycling the toxic mess into valuable commodities and clean water.

So it’s something the admins of my Lemmy instance apply, and everyone on that instance gets?

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn’t quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn’t expect me to find it that bad.

I’m not going to argue against anything you’ve said, I’m not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

I also think its irrelevant.

In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) “a catastrophe fuck-ton” of gasses into the atmosphere. We’ve tipped over the tipping point.

Is this something I can apply in my profile?

Yeah, that’s my thought. It’s all well & good to say they can, but how? It’s not a capability of the OS, so the only way this could work is some kind of carrier patch (?) or an unpatched bug.

Hehe. No pressure @ljdawson@lemmy.world

Yeah. And it’s having no noticeable effect on inflation … it’s almost like they are turning the wrong dial. The people hurting most with these interest rate rises are those who can least afford it and consequently have least effect on inflation.

Is the poster’s IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

commies? hardcore social(ism)

Flush the water out is really the only option, the longer it sits in tailings ponds the more likely it is to have an uncontrolled spill. We absolutely need someone we can trust to define ‘clean’ though – and that’s not the government nor the mining companies; and we need someone we can trust to monitor it and confirm it is ‘clean’.

I’ve been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren’t for Rif and Sync, I don’t think I would have become a Reddit user. I’m desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

That’s so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.

I’ve wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with ‘the content’.
