Gopher is like very simple and cool. Something similar to Telnet but it's own thing. It's free nowadays btw but ofc nobody uses it.

That's a very interesting video. But I still have to ask WHY is it ok for an office to lack the lighting and escape routes when the same is not ok for residential areas (which was the main reason given)? It makes no sense to me. Water and sewage poses no problem because large office buildings have to account for mutiple toilets on each floor. Electricity is also a non issue (I'd argue electricity usage would vastly decrease when coverted). That just leaves shared air circulation and conditioning which also shouldn't be an issue since it would just be maintained through the landlord (and could even be cheaper for the individual since they don't have to pay for their own systems but just a flat fee on the rent).

They could just rent it out. Or convert it and sell. But nooo that's too much hassle

Ironic that Tate is a millenial. Also generations aren't like monolithic blocks of culture. The reason Tate is popular is because literally everyone is failing young disenfranchised men. Sure we get women as heroes now (good ones and very prominent bad ones ... ahem WW84)
The reason we get a backsliding is because (imo) we focus on elevating women too much. It is so so devastating for young men that just get nothing. No recognition, no support and no opportunities. Couple that with the fact that until men hit their mid to late 20s the dating power dynamic is asymmetricly shifted towards women. And you get hammered by the media "women support here, women support there" and if any young teen dares to ask "well what about us boys?" They just get shushed, that it's not their place, male privilege etc. They don't see that "privilege" everyone else speaks of. So you just get mounting aggression because no one is confirming their struggles. And eventually it ferments and turns to hate and then you can serve them whatever lies you want, if you give them the prospect of control over their life they will eat it up. And that's what Tate did. He promised them power and success.

Uhhh ... he is from this instance. And blocking does nothing to help my ability to post there and take part in discussions.

Where are those? Can you link me?

True it's not nkrmalised. That's my bad. All companies I met had more than 40h a week though. And even when I worked in a government owned company it was 42.5h

Nope, lunch is not included and unpaid (unless specified in contract, but virtually no one pays for lunch). Effectively ypu're at work for 9.5 -10 hours.

This is frankly fantastic news. You just need to classify gacha as gambling and you're done. This is probably way easier than to legally define what a gacha game is.

I really got a severe case of the Baader-Meinhof-complex. Like a month ago I heard of the demon core for the first time. And now it seems like I see it referenced everywhere. Atleast 10 times randomly in the past month.

I mean Zuck is not batshit crazy like the Musketeer. Not like he won't sell you out but atleast his platforms are stable. Apparently that's enough for people.

Can't they read sensor data and infer certain conditions from that? For example if you have a limp or something?

What the hell is Bluesky?

Still more progressive than Switzerland to this day. They have normalized 42.5h workweek. You need to work 8.5 hours to be considered a fulltime employee.

I mean that's a good thing no?

So you're not voting at all?
Yeah, then you're part of the problem.

Say you DO cut your carbon footprint by 90% or even 100%. I have bad news for you. 98-99% of the rest of people didn’t, because they want to go on with their lives instead of worrying about the future, so your changes are meaningless.

This mindset of defeatism is EXACTLY what is holding us back. "Either we get an instant 100% perfect governmental solution or everything is meaningless anyway". You're letting perfect be the enemy of good. Cutting back your consumerism of oil and meat or atleast being mindful is not useless. It is creating new markets. The meat substitute market saw a growth of 8-10% annually worldwide for the past 6 years. Are you telling me a market that grows at 4-5 times the average typical inflation rate is "just useless"?
If you buy a soymilk pack instead of a pack of milk, you're helping. That's less income for the dairy industry. Sure it's not as efficient as it could be if if soymilk and -use would be perfected but it's still better than subsidizing the dairy industry. And you are not alone. Sure maybe you're not in majority but there are a few millions Americans that that are also doing this. That is atleast a few millions a year that are going to different markets than the dairy industry. Where I currently live in Switzerland among my friend group we have all drastically cut down on our meat consumption. Sure it's not 100% but I consume on average about 100g meat per week and get my "easy" protein from substitute products, which are cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Am I privileged? Sure. But just throwing in the towel and going on eating meat and driving cars because "it is meaningless anyway", will doom us all much more than atleast trying.

Centralisation will always set in due to sheer complacency. I mean it has already happened. The main player in the reddit-like fediverse is lemmy.world
No other instance comes close to the size of lemmy.world
I also disagree with Metas method of tracking and monetising every last bit of data (I'm trying to get rid of their platforms myself) but to expect the fediverse to be a balanced mixture of access points is just daydreaming.

That will get you banned from just about every instance. People are really looking out for each other right now.
