They’re actually pretty popular with hikers. They’re lightweight and comfortable, and also non-absorbent.
Not for the actual hiking part, but they’re great to throw in your backpack and wear around camp at the end of the day, and if they get wet they aren’t going to get heavy so you can wear them instead of your boots if you have to wade across a creek.
you can't just say something is "objectively bad". if it's objectively bad, that means it's provably bad. so where's the proof?
as far as i'm aware there's no science that says LEDs at the brightness typically found on consumer electronics have any negative health benefits. regulations should be based on more than just the opinions of some random guy on lemmy.
you're right, the average person doesn't care about their privacy.
and not only do they not care about their privacy, they resent being called stupid for not caring about their privacy. "you're an idiot" seems to be most privacy advocates go-to argument as to why we should all care more about privacy, and it's really not making a very good case.
Isn't the whole promise of the fediverse that whatever the policies of one instance are, that doesn't necessarily affect all the other instances, and each can do their own thing. If an instance doesn't want to accept traffic from threads, good for them. But to try to organize a fediverse-wide response to threads seems a whole lot like the centralization the fediverse is supposed to not be.
