  • Wish someone would make a convenience focused secure messenger. I want SMS and RCS and interoperability with everyone, but I also want my conversations that matter to be completely secure.

    I don't care if my chat with Grandma is e2e encrypted but I do care that my chat with my wife is, and it fucks me off I have to use so many different apps to speak to different people who will never, ever use Signal.

  • Until recently I would have agreed 100%.

    But Google's search has turned to dogshit since it's started trying to be smarter than it is, and DDG is now giving me results on par with old Google - that is, a list of exactly what I was searching for on the first try.

  • You don't need pesticides to grow them in a vertical farm, and when they aren't getting attacked by insects and disease you don't need to focus on pest and disease resistance for the varieties you grow. Pesticides, like you would agree, are not good for people's health.

    You can use your water in a closed loop meaning your use of fertiliser is exponentially more efficient and doesn't end up in the environment, which we know effects the health of people and particularly the health of waterways and the ocean.

    By growing the food locally there is less need for refrigeration and transport, significantly reducing the CO2 produced, and fresher food is more nutritious.

    By using space more efficiently we don't need to continue bulldozing rainforests to grow lettuce, which we also know is bad for human health and the planet. In fact, we'd potentially be able to begin rewilding farmland which would be extremely good for the planet.

    And if it's established to be important, there's no reason a carefully fostered microbiome can't be established inside vertical farms.

    I agree that growing food in an organic food forest way produces likely the best food. But it's simply not pragmatic if your goal is feeding billions of people while minimising environmental impact. Vertical farming can accomplish many of the same things while also dramatically reducing our impact on the environment.

  • In Australia we have significant consequences for being antivax.

    You don't get the childcare subsidy, and good luck finding a childcare that will take your kids.

    You can't work in healthcare, aged care, childcare and many other sectors and it's been validated in court that employers can dismiss employees who don't reasonably get vaccinated when required.

    Additionally, during the pandemic antivaxxers were essentially excluded from pretty much all public life and the Australian public was perfectly content with that. The Australian population was 95% vaccinated at the peak, you can't get 90% of Australians to agree on anything, if 60% of the population supported not eating shit 40% of the population would start eating shit but we all agreed that antivaxxers can get fucked.
