Thanks, I've been using the nightly build since I discovered the repo in a PR yesterday. It's been great to be able to easily block communities.

I have one question about the app in general: why are images the only thing I can't swipe right to go back from? My muscle memory is all mixed up about when I need to swipe up versus swipe right!

It was exceptionally old for the time.

The average lifespan of domestic cats has increased in recent decades. It has risen from seven years in the 1980s, to nine years in 1995, to about 15 years in 2021.

I started on 10mg and am up to 50mg now, about two months in. I have experienced no side effects whatsoever, except the first day I took it in the evening and then was a bit buzzy at bedtime. I also haven't noticed any of the positive effects yet, though I have heard it takes a while for that to kick in and that you may not even notice it due to how gradual it is.

With puffballs, the definitive way to know what they are for sure is to slice them in half. If they're white all the way through, it's a puffball. If there's anything else inside, it's probably a young version of something with a stem that you shouldn't eat.

At least where I am, they are pushed based on which cell tower you are connected to. My old phone did not even have functional GPS and I still got emergency alerts.

And it's not even just a few of them. I recently looked at the Wikipedia page for Stephen Harper (former Conservative PM) and he's been on Ben Shapiro lately, and started ranting about "woke culture." It's become pervasive.

Have you ever used Github? People can't just push code to the main repo.

And all submissions to F-Droid are checked for this kind of thing.

Honestly, fuck the economy. Areas dependent on fossil fuels should have h started diversifying decades ago, but they stubbornly refused to — and continue to do so — to their own detriment. We've known for a long time that being entirely dependent on a single natural resource for the bulk of our jobs and trade was a bad idea: just look at the mill towns in BC when their mills closed. At how devastating the softwood lumber disputes were. It was pure hubris for provincial and local governments to push forward with continued dependence on single resource economies.

I agree that we'll never entirely end fossil fuel use because plastics are an amazing material, but I absolutely do not agree that we need to continue fossil fuel extraction for the sake of the "economy." This is shortsighted thinking: the "economy" will be destroyed in the longterm by climate change. Natural disasters, human displacement, crop failures, water shortages, wildfires, the list goes on and on.

For any app that isn't network-facing and that works with protocols that haven't been changed in a long time, there is no point worrying over how "active" the development is on an app. If nothing has been broken, then nothing needs fixing. My music player has had all the features it needs for a decade, and continues to work to this day. Why change a good thing?

[–] inasaba@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It just doesn't do much of anything. We're not going to reverse, or even halt climate change with it. For any industry that cannot be made green that has to continue in the future, we should obviously do it, but the claims about it by the fossil fuel industry are severely overinflated.

Yeah, I do not see the appeal at all. Unless something with a deadly lookalike is incredibly delicious, I don't see any value in foraging it.

The first time I read about CCS I actually laughed out loud. Somehow I'd assumed it would make some kind of usable carbon that we could bury to augment soil, but no. They're literally catching ~30% of the CO2 gas from an industry's tailpipe and putting the gas underground in an "airtight" chamber.

Like, are you kidding me?
