I started using Linux for the first time this week after seeing all the linux memes on Lemmy and alot of help from me girlfriend, so hopefully it will be a year of the Linux for me!

Happy new year everyone!

I think a lot of people don't know what co-ops are. I have been pretty left leaning my whole life and I only found out co-ops in my late 20s and the majority of people I talked to in real life have no idea what coops are. And from that few that do know, many dont know how big cooperatives can be.

For the uninitiated, I am sharing the [International Cooperative Alliances definition of coops here: https://ica.coop/en/cooperatives/what-is-a-cooperative

and the list of largest coops in 2023 here: https://ica.coop/en/media/library/research-and-reviews-world-cooperative-monitor/world-cooperative-monitor-2023

Screenshot of the top 10 coops based on turnover in USD from the report here:

Nice!!! I'm trying to be like you

Non technical person here, I would love to hear more about how decentralized (or not decentralized) the Bluesky protocol is compared to ActivityPub

Do we know if its the same people? I imagine that some people went to Mastodon and some to Bluesky, and very few use both

Threatening connections to nuclear power plants is insane!

How can reading be no 1 most attractive and comic books are on the unattractive side of the list?

I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn't hurt and would probably help

I definitely overthink before sleep, I'm relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it

This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it.

One question, if Ecosia uses Bing + Google, does this mean using Ecosia indirectly generates revenue for Bing and Google?

Mostly on Lemmy. I'm on Mastadon too. I don't know if YouTube counts but I'm on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don't post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can't get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

Thanks. I've only used for the second today but so far it's pretty good so far

Thanks for the answer! I've been using DDG for the last few months and it is also bad anything map related or at localizing things (DDG also bad with news, it reverts to MSN alot as a news aggregator) )I will have to use Ecosia to real compare the two but their tree planting idea has made curios enough to try it. Thanks again

Thanks for the answer! They seem to be transparent, and even have a breakdown of they use their money by month, which I appreciate. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any huge news stories that blew the lid on this and said it was all fake or something. Thanks again

I hadn't consider that. I wonder if there is a way around this. Thanks for the answer!

I never knew. Thanks for answering!

I found this video explaining the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0zHU4E1XaE&t=123s

I would love to hear any Estonians experience here actually using it

Just came to say you're a coward and an idiot. If you want change, run for elections or lead a direct action movement instead of insulting people actually trying. What bad logic are using to insult the person who ran and lost instead of the person who won and who is threatening to make everyone's lives worse? again coward and an idiot

"I am proud of our democratic processes. Although I wanted a second term, I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process,” Masisi said.

Way to go Botswana!

Thanks, I will export and import my profile. Hopefully things will be smoother in the future, but being able to export the some of the profile is better than nothing

Thanks for answering. I will do this
