what is the point of using a reusable shopping bag when plastic bags have already been manufactured & are there for convenience?

  • It's not about how many are made nearly as much as it's about how many are thrown away.

    • How is federated social media better?

    Jump

  • I've only just begun on this, but my next software project is to rewrite my blogging software to use ActivityPub, especially for comments.

  • Good point: Look at lemmy - kbin - piefed. The guy behind kbin thought "lemmy is nice but I could make something better", and then whoever is behind mbin saw that and said "I can make kbin better" and forked it. But without starting over in terms of connectivity or content! And now we have piefed which is on the edge of being even better and it's still introperable. The power of that can't be undersold.

    • Can you teach or inspire self awareness?

    Jump

  • The other person needs to either want to become self aware, or at least want to please the one doing the correcting.

  • I think I used an Apple ][ through the gifted program before we got a used Commodore 64 at home, but I spent more time on the C64. Taught myself to type and to program in BASIC.

    • How does HTML actually run on a computer?

    Jump

  • HTML doesn't "run". It's not a scripting language, it's a markup language. All it does is mark sections of the document for the browser to display.

    • Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?

    Jump

  • I used to not use a case, because I had a ruggedized hiking phone that didn't need one.

  • I tend to think the the obligation to action falls more heavily on the privileged. Those who aren't marginalized have a duty to use their position to correct the injustices.

    • What are some blogs you still read?

    • If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

    Jump

  • No more often than I eat meat now, which is only as often as I have to not be rude.

  • The price of meat is currently artificially lowered by several factors, including government subsidies and lax regulations. Correcting that would be good for everyone, even if it made meat a "sometimes" food for everyone but the rich.

    • Is censorship ok if the person you're censoring is wrong?

    Jump

  • Invisible deity? The observers are you and me.

    • Are there any lemmy communities that allow criticism of transgenderism?

    Jump

  • You started this thread with hostility and rudeness, what exactly did you expect?

    • Are there any lemmy communities that allow criticism of transgenderism?

    Jump

  • But they are acting like assholes when they say things like "trans hysteria". Combative and dismissive behavior is jerk behavior, so if you don't want people to call you one, don't act like one.

    Jump

  • I did consider it in that light. This analysis is from the perspective of an observer, not the presiding body. Since the presiding body's reasoning cannot be known, we observers just look for patterns of removal to determine whether censorship is occurring. These are the pattern-markers I look for.

    • what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”?

    Jump

  • "Dead" is an adjective, modifying the antecedent of "he", not an adverb modifying "is".

    Contrast "he is well", where "well" modifies "is" as an adverb vs. "he is good" where "good" is an adjective modifying "he". There's no grammatic signifier which is which beyond the modifying word itself, so you need to see whether it's in adverb form or adjective form.
