I think you care food-pleasure just as much as most people. Otherwise why not eat something healthier, faster or cheaper. I like to think that i didn't use to care much about taste before so for lunch i used to eat 1k kkcal in the form of a unflavoured, unsweetened meal replacement shake, took <5 min to prepare+eat+clean.
I think that the real answer is that different things work for different people.
Personally when I make changes in my life I always go 100% straight away. I have a really hard time with half measures. Like when i wanted to lose 5 kg I started logging everything i ate and just was super strict with ny kcal intake for a year to not gain it back, no cheat days. And when i went vegan a few years later i did that cold turkey.
I mean I don't perticularly like the content of any of those apps (lemmy is the only real social media i use). But that doesn't change the fact that they are using the correct format for the job.
How is this controversial. If its made to be viewed on a phone then I don't see the reason to film hoizontally. Epecially the type of content that most people seem to make on like tiktok etc. seems better in vertical view.
I've had the exact opposite experience. I have a literal pile of dead wired headsets (most were mid quality but two of them were >100$) but not a single one of the 4 wireless headsets ive had since then have died (the first one i bought have admittedly had its battery degraded to where it can only live for an hour or two, but its nearing on 10 years old now).
Not saying you can't have the opposite experience, but from my point of view last noticably longer at a similar priceclass (and i run them pretty hard both physically and time wise, easily 6-10h/day, with workouts most day). I've been running my jabra elite 65t for over 5 years now as my only headset which is the longest i've ever had a single headset. Though admittedly i lost my case 1.5 years ago while biking but i managed to find a secondhand case.
According to my napkin math it would take longer than an hour if the tape was ~3.3*10218 sec long (or three million trillion trillion... (18 trillions) ...trillion years). Assuming you have only have two options to choose between but can pick which alternative in in 5 seconds (2720) and you want to get down to a 1 minute intervall.
So i mean its not impossible to find a tape long enough though it seems unlikely that we would be so off in our estimates of the age of the universe.
I don't care who's serving the ads, I don't want to watch ads period. I will pay for the content where possible though. I dont think youtube taking 45% considering the crazy infrastructure provided is that strange. Maybe 45% is still too much, but i don't think 55% sounds like "shit".
Odysee is pretty alright, maybe nebula? I haven't used either a significant amount so i couldn't give out recommendations. I personally doubt they are as good as YT though.
If you are against them on a moral basis then use another service, I imagine that has a more negative impact on them.
If you just want no ads, pay for it.
I hate ads as much as the next guy and use a variety of blockers but i'll pay for any service with a reasonable payment method.
Depending on the surroundings it sounds quite sane. In the village I grew up in we had 20km/h (12-13mph) which i think was quite reasonable. When there are hedges and stuff to the side you need to be able to stop if someone walks out.
Ottawa is on the same latitude as Venice so it's not like canada is very northly (though i know canada has a much more varied temperature range). That aside i think there are many reasons, like the southern countries are not as wealthy as US and theres a culture of using other methods to survive the heat such as building colors, not paving every cm^2 of land etc.
And if we look at more northen Eu countries like where I live (sweden) the highest ever measured temp is 38c (100.4f). So anyone here who needs an AC for the few days when the temp is above 25c is a card carrying bitch.
It really is an almost impossible situation. The far right will win this one regardless what the government does. If they do nothing we will probably see some form of terrorism sooner or later, if they clamp down on it they will prove the activists right in that the government will reduce freedom of speech just because some muslims cant behave.
Maybe theres some way to eke out a win but I cant see it.
Yeah afaik there are a couple of suitable places for more hydropower but no plans for more due to, like you said, local environmental reasons.
That said, sweden is basically already completely "decarbonized" (if anything can really be decarbonized), we only have a reserve oil powerplant that runs for maybe a couple of days each year (~9 days last year, though last year was especially bad). Sweden also generally has a pretty big net surplus (usually about 10-20% of production) of green power that is sold to the european grid.
If you read the report there's both context there and also on their site mullvad have commented on the found issues stating either reasons or what they are doing to fix it.
I picked bias because it was basically the first statement that i could remember that i disagreed with. No other real reason, I didn't want to pick a single point from the video since i didnt want to presume that you were on board with the entirety.
I don't think I can show where his funding comes from so lets strike that one.
I don't think I could show that all his sources are biased (I suspect a couple are, but most of them are probably more or less objective). So lets strike that option as well.
I do think there is an argument to be made based on his other content that he's biased.
I looked at his substack and there over 50% 27/51 counted (just skimmed the borderline ones) were tied to highprotein/meat lifestyle or directly/indirectly anti-vegan. There were also a lot of masculinity/testosterone ones that i think are quite relevant, but I didn't count those. He clearly makes it a large part of his brand either way.
Sure, it absolutely varies from person to person. A poorer person probably isn't flying around on vacations and eating lots of steak so they aren't producing that much co2e anyway. So for some people it could be that the only action of any significang impact would be to vote and push the government to force everyone else to stop being so selfish.
