Science Memes@mander.xyz•We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.
103·4 天前While it might be technically true, it’s missing a whole bunch of steps in the middle for it to be a practicality.
As I said in my comment:
But no one wants to do that.
And about this:
And that was just off of the top of my head.
Beef is the major factor in the amazon, by a large margin, as in my original comment. Palm Oil is not a significant part in Brazil, nor real state. Mineral is mainly in Roraima, but not as big as beef, because it’s based on small operations, there are a lot of sources on this for gold mining and the local Yanomami indigenous population that fights agains this (as this is done on their land).

323·4 天前Producing beef is the most inefficient way to produce food, in both use of space and water, and energy. We don’t need to impose things on people if humanity reduces its beef consumption.
If we cut beef consumption by half, literally oligarchs would not have an economic reason to deforest the Amazon, because of the price drops. But no one wants to do that.
Developing nations have proven to increase their carbon footprints over time, e.g. China, so the fact that they’re the fastest growing populations on earth is a serious issue
You’re conflating a lot of words, gives an example for China, while Chinas population is not growing even (or will start to diminish on some years), associating different things into the same sentence is hard to pick what exactly you’re talking about, China or Africa (the last place where population growth is happening at large beyond the 2.1 fertility rate).

495·4 天前It’s not the growth of ethanol (maize) and animal feed (soybeans) producing crops on the last 30 years, highly fucking inefficient and produced in the worst way possible, not even that pasture uses A LOT more land than agriculture while being a lot less energy dense, both using a lot more water than producing direct food, it’s the poors.
Edit: And also, beef is the major cause for deforestation too:

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Motorola contains spyware - GrapheneOS censored it
42·6 天前This is true, Motorola devices send really weird info to motpaks.com and motpks.com. Can’t uninstall the PAKS application. That’s why I use my LineageOS Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s.
Edit: some stuff from the app:

Linux@programming.dev•The future of AI in Ubuntu [Except it's Blockchains instead of AI]
5·10 天前I’m sorry, after linux there’s only GNU Hurd for me. I can’t cheat on it.

Linux@programming.dev•The future of AI in Ubuntu [Except it's Blockchains instead of AI]
191·10 天前Exactly.
Computers are means of production, just now that they’re advancing, like they did with all other industries.
The capitalists are taking control on what they think is theirs, this machine is only useful to give money to them, and the code we write to build it is now being taken control by these LLMs, to destroy our power over what we build. If this situation change, to them taking every bit of control by the LLMs being what is advertised to everyone, the workers and people that use everything that’s built by or for computers will just be these factory workers of before. A LLM don’t say no, it does what who controls it says, on our computers or on any computer.
Edit 2: Just like with the factories, instead of building on what we think is the best way, the LLMs build it for us, a machine for us to just throw things at it. This is easier to control than a senior dev that doesn’t like that what he builds, and how he builds it, bombs people.
I’m not against completely open models (training data and weights), just that these corporate and capitalist models are the total control over the means of
productioncomputation.Edit: And Canonical and Red Hat are companies, like any other, and participate actively on this.
Hobsbawm in the age of revolutions talk about this change, with the scientific and industrial revolutions, just like now with the “tech” revolution and now the LLMs.

691·10 天前At each and every step of this idiotic “we will put LLMs in everything”, I’m becoming more of a luddite.
My pc is working fine with artix and xfce on x11 (not that garbage xlibre), even DoT is working with stubby, why the hell do I need this shit?
Today the server goes systemdless too.
Sorry for the rant.

Philosophy@lemmy.world•𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈'𝒔 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 "𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒍"
3·10 天前Fact checked, it’s on the book.

Librewolf on desktop and tablet, and Iceraven on Android.
I changed Ironfox for Iceraven as it has better compatibility and personalization.
There are some kittygram front-ends, like irelephant (the link from the post on their instance).
Kittygram works on libredirect too, to automatically redirect to a privacy friendly front-end on reddit, quora, instagram, imgur, etc.
Edit: Link for libredirect
potatoguy@mbin.potato-guy.spacetoMental Health@lemmy.world•I got kicked out and im very depressed but my existing roommates say im making things worse and im not victim and shouldnt feel hurt
4·12 天前I feel like I’m in a house thats burning down, I’m dead regardless of what I choose
You’re in this situation now, but things change, maybe not in a day or a week, but consistently building (taking care of yourself, getting professional help and keeping doing it) and the situations life gives us changes things. Not flowers and rainbows, but things and how you feel change with time.
Make a tea, do some meditation, like with this youtube channel (I like the videos she makes, maybe it would be good for you too, idk), then try to rebuild a new life for yourself, look for places to move, etc. There’s always something in the horizon, take the focus out of the darkness.
That’s my two cents.
potatoguy@mbin.potato-guy.spacetoMental Health@lemmy.world•I got kicked out and im very depressed but my existing roommates say im making things worse and im not victim and shouldnt feel hurt
8·12 天前Please, don’t jump off the bridge, seriously.
Don’t listen to this, it’s clear that there is something wrong and that you should get professional help, as seen by the BPD. I see this situation as a breakup, you can rebuild from it, even if someone has a fault or no one has it, as it doesn’t matter.
Don’t let this moment dictate what you do with the rest of your life, try to do something to take your mind out of this for a day or two, plan to do something to get out of there and rebuild your life.
I have a useless IT degree, no friends, no family, I legit have nothing.
I failed everything I tried and I’m here, I stopped caring a long time ago, I just try to live my life these days.
You can do it. Believe in yourself.

Linux@lemmy.world•How Linux developers defeated the new OS age-verification laws
28·13 天前I’m already seeing that in a year or two, we’re getting blocked on websites or electron applications because of age verification just like in android with Google Play Services. Like use age verification software or get blocked for 99% the internet.
They don’t even need to turn it into law.
