This, or you have a point.

it is obvious that marketing and advertising to maintain the status quo of legacy companies is still a better roi.

Yes, sadly.

This is a regulatory issue not a market failure.

I think it's both. Emitting is practically free, and removal means costs, not profit. The economic incentives are to emit, not to remove. The external costs of emissions are not covered. This is a distorted market and a market failure. And this market failure can be fixed by regulations, for example carbon pricing, or subsidizing effective carbon removal. Both are still under threat from marketing and advertising, or lobbying.

Sounds good, yes! That can reduce the risk from arson. What remains is the risk from natural pests, droughts and wildfires, which increase due to climate change.

When weighing our options, we should consider their real-world value, not an optimistic estimate under ideal conditions. Trees could be great, but there are many things which can go wrong over the decades that a tree needs to grow.

Or hype tree planting less, and rely more on industrial solutions. Or use tree planting, but make sure the plant matter is stored underground frequently, so it cannot get back into the atmosphere. Or weigh in other arguments and realize this risk of unreliability is not that big and acceptable.

Or write a snarky comment and do nothing!

who cares?

Those of us who want to freely discuss geopolitics without fear of getting banned care.

Then do it from a different instance?

To move to another instance you have to be aware of the issue. To be aware of the issue you have to care about it.

it’s their instance. Complaining about it flies in the face of what lemmy is entirely about.

Or do I not understand the entire point of lemmy?

Maybe just one half. True, one half is that every instance can do what it wants.

The other half is, that users can do what they want. In order to be able to do what they want, they need information about instances.

People speaking up about what many people would consider frown-worthy instance behaviour is an important part of that process.

We are free to warn each other.

I’m not shure how to read the modlog.

1. Visit the instance in question, for example https://lemmy.ml/
2. Scroll to the bottom or Ctrl+PgEnd, click on "Modlog": https://lemmy.ml/modlog (as you see, you can also just append /modlog to the URL)
3. Filter by action, or filter by user. For example, enter your own name to see if you have been banned

This way, I just found out I've been banned on lemmy.ml for this comment which surely is snarky, and technically disrespectful. They did not ban Krause (parent comment). So I guess spreading lies is fine as long as you do it "respectfully". Speaking up to that gets you banned.

Yeah, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml ban people for posting dissenting comments. So their users can believe no dissenting opinions exist.

It's a bid sad they cannot spot that the article, which is very short and written for children, does not say what they claim it says, but well.

This risk of unreliability is one downside of carbon capture using trees or other plants.

Unless the carbon is moved under ground, where it cannot escape again due to accidents or arson or the like, it's not safely removed.

Since I just had this quote at hand ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

In February 2016, Sergey Lavrov claimed, "Russia never violated Budapest memorandum. It contained only one obligation, not to attack Ukraine with nukes."[38] However, Canadian journalist Michael Colborne pointed out that "there are actually six obligations in the Budapest Memorandum, and the first of them is 'to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine'". Colborne also pointed out that a broadcast of Lavrov's claim on the Twitter account of Russia's embassy in the United Kingdom actually "provided a link to the text of the Budapest Memorandum itself with all six obligations, including the ones Russia has clearly violated – right there for everyone to see."

As so often, it's probably not actually directed at the western audience, but at Russians in Russia. Give them something to feel just and superior. Given how numerous and blatant his lies are, this rather shows he thinks of them as uneducated and gullible.

Not necessarily take, but a demilitarized zone might make sense, and that has to be put somewhere.

Like prevent troops amassing in "peaceful exercise" so they cannot surprise invade again.

time to remind people that zelensky made having peace negotiations with putin ILLEGAL

Can you quote the part of the article which made you think so? I don't see the article saying what you claim it says.

        A reminder from the KidsPost team: Our stories are geared to 7- to 13-year-olds.


  

It's alright if you are younger than that. Otherwise, I think all you achieved is reminding people how dishonest and untrustworthy lemmygrad users can be. You would have helped your cause more had you not made that comment.

TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPENED TO MONKEYS AFTER GETTING NEURALINK IMPLANTS, ACCORDING TO VETERINARY RECORDS

What are these terrible things?

Up to a dozen monkeys suffered grisly fates after receiving a Neuralink implant, including brain swelling and partial paralysis.

First is the case of the monkey "Animal 20." In December 2019, an internal part of the brain implant being inserted into the primate "broke off" during surgery. Later that night, the monkey scratched at the implant site, drawing blood, and yanked on the implant, partially dislodging it. Follow-up surgery discovered that the wound was infected, but that the placement of the implant prevented treatment. The monkey was euthanized the next month.

Before that, a female monkey designated "Animal 15" began to press her head against the ground after receiving the brain implant, pick at the site until it bled, and eventually lost coordination, shivering when personnel entered the room. Scientists discovered she had brain bleeding, and in March 2019, she too was euthanized.

The following year, a primate called "Animal 22" was put down in March 2020 after its brain implant became so loose that the screws attaching it to the skull "could easily be lifted out," according to a necropsy report.

"The failure of this implant can be considered purely mechanical and not exacerbated by infection," the necropsy states.

As Wired notes, that statement alone seemingly contradicts Musk's claims that no monkeys directly died from Neuralink brain implants.

And so would the account of an ex-Neuralink employee, who told Wired that Musk's claims that the monkeys were already terminally ill are "ridiculous," even a "straight-up fabrication."

"We had these monkeys for a year or so before any surgery was performed," the ex-employee said.

The testimony of an anonymous scientist conducting research at CNPRC seems to corroborate the ex-employee's allegations.

"These are pretty young monkeys," they told the magazine. "It's hard to imagine these monkeys, who were not adults, were terminal for some reason."

Also

The researchers note that one major question of using solar sails is deceleration, or slowing down, upon arriving at the destination, specifically Mars, and while they mention aerocapture as one solution, they admit this still requires further study.

Now that the SUV has been invented, the settlers can finally move into these harsh landscapes, which were unaccessible before.

This also explains why this phenomenon emerged in the US, because other continents simply don't have hilly or mountainous regions.

Sarcasm aside, most of these vehicles are used for short trips on well-maintained city roads, to get to office and buy groceries. They aren't even very useful for offroad tasks, no improvement on existing vehicles. Even worse, they are not useful to get around in cities.

Maybe those non-migrating birds.

Started smoking cigarettes.

I like how it goes full circle. Also makes it easier to re-read. But mostly I like how it goes full circle.

As per the article, it goes like this:

1. AI is trained on publicly available data
2. AI does not credit or compensate original authors
3. People don't like their work being used without
4. People share less publicly
5. Public spaces desert

And simultaneously, AI content of poor quality drowns what is left.

In terms of arguments, have you heard about control / alignment problem or x-risk?

When it was growing in sunlight, aka red shifted gamma radiation coming from an open nuclear reactor?

How accurate is this description?
