They are also "patriots" and "Christians" (love they neighbor - who is that? everyone. what does it look like? not... like... that) and "smurt" and "efficient" and so on.

The nice thing is that if we could work on either, then we could work on both at the same time. Caveat: we cannot work on either, for the most part, bc people are selfish and short-sighted:-(.

What I mean is, the link in a Lemmy community when viewed from a Lemmy instance works just fine. So it's not broken at that level.

I can't speak to how it comes across to Mastodon, or your particular method of access to that, as you showed in your screenshot. In general, instances running the Mbin software seem to work better to access both Lemmy and Mastodon, but overall communication between Mastodon and Lemmy seems not perfect, as you said.

There's an interesting graph that someone posted in https://aussie.zone/comment/14827931, but I am no expert so I have no idea personally, just sharing that, which seems to suggest that the highest areas are residential energy and road transportation. Whether that in turn traces to Methane I have no idea:-).

I'm not sure if you'll get this reply @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza, but here's the link visible from Lemmy itself: https://tuta.com/blog/digital-fingerprinting-worse-than-cookies.

Your method of accessing this Lemmy community seems not to be working on your side somehow. You might try a different app - I've never used Mastodon so I don't know what might work.

I see your... whatever that is, and raise you a honey badger don't care.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 6 months ago

So it sounds like the first step is to care.

As the OOP said too.

Damnit, you just made me realize that my true goal in life was to wear a stillsuit (or maybe it was to be closer to Timothée Chalamet?😊)

True, but also don't allow perfection to be the enemy of good.

I recall in Star Wars when the Jedi accused the Trade Federation of having invaded Naboo. Did it really? This needs to be verified, doesn't it? Oh but wait, it's the word of "Jedi", right, not just "some guys"? Yeah but can we really play at favoritism? Wait, how is that favoritism when they have an established mandate to help protect the Republic... and on and on.

Ironically, they could have sent an entire fleet, and if it turned out to be a simple misunderstanding, then oops, so well, now we know not to trust even "Jedi" in the future.

People are really bad at measuring the cost of NOT acting. Like yeah, vaccines can cause all kinds of things up to and including death... but then again, so too can a deadly disease?!

Anyway, the job of science is to figure stuff out and communicate what was found - not even - necessarily, at least usually - including translation to the general public, which is more of a reporting task. Politics doesn't even begin to enter into that. So I think it's awesome that this science post is pointing out some facts that may be relevant as people discuss the political ramifications and next steps. Ofc communication is a 2-way endeavor and if politicians don't understand what the scientist is saying, they can ask questions, but so far the OOP scientist here seems to have done her part, and quite well it looks to me (who admittedly knows next to nothing whatsoever about climate science, but at least this seems to have succeeded at the communicate clearly portion:-).

If a biodome might be needed for like 6-12 hours in the hottest part of the day for the sake of survivability and efficiency in heating, compared to being needed 20-24 hours a day, then I could begin to see the value of OOP's words. Better yet, if some other technology could bring that timeframe down to a mere 3-6 hours (I'm imagining maybe like a yearly average, so longer some days and shorter on others), and then some other technology still further down to 1-3 hours, then collectively rather than one single approach could help to reduce rather than eliminate the need for such.

Perhaps we'll live like in the Dune movie, with everyone wearing a personal stillsuit (aka the "biodome" is personal)... such that a fart primarily affects the one doing it, which at that long starts to actually convince someone to change their diet? 😉

"Ruin" itself is a word with nuances.
