lowered their forecasts for 2024: if just half a year ago, the German economy was expected to grow 1.3%, now the forecast has been cut to just 0.1%.

Why is growth used as a metric? What does it implicate?

Edit: does it mean growth of sales volume or production volume? If one takes inflation into account, a constant sales volume could mean a shrinking production volume?

You mean garage generical engineering? Genetical design instead of breeding and selection?

I see pros and cons.

Lvm could be the way to go. Start with the minimum amount of partitions (i.e. / and /boot and swap as lv, maybe efi as a real partition). Add additional lv later if/ when you need them. You can always re-size a partition and the wrapping lv when you want to re- distribute storage-space.

I never needed more than these partitions. But that is just my use case.

Edit: oh. Missed the Multi boot point. Forget what I wrote. :)

It’s about the creation of artifical markets - Allowing patents on genetic modifications in lifeforms so that one can sell something that basically copies itself if you provide it with a place to grow (exclusively) and some water and light. It’s highly problematic.

It’s uncritical to play that utilisation rights game with music and videos and other works of art. No one starves to death from not listening to music. But you shouldn’t play that game with food sources.

Thanks. That’s interesting. The outcome looks positive regarding the yield sold/ha and spray of pesticides.

I wasn’t able to find the duration of the study and an answer to the question: Are the improved yields/ reduced pesticide results stable over multiple years (1/5/10 years after the switch to Bt brinjal)? I searched for year and duration in the text and wasn’t able to find it. But I’m at my mobile phone atm. 😒

Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

My knowledge stems from just my memory of one or two documentations I watched. But there they stated that the gmo advantage is just a marketing lie in the long run, because nature adapts and yields decrease and herbicide/ fungicide usage increases.

Is there a study that shows that gmo performs better (yield wise, impact on the fauna, toxicity) than all other approaches?

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

A big problem is that farmers are not allowed to use the corn and and grain which they grew themselves on their own field as seeds. When they buy the engineered seeds and accompanied pesticides they are forced to do it every year.

That’s a dangerous development in my opinion. You must not centralise seed production in that way.

Plus: the Roundup stuff really doesn’t look healthy to me.

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

(I’m sorry)

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.

Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.

Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

It wasn’t meant to deliver a solution. It’s an opinion (as in a piece of my point of view).

It’s just not the right way to go in my opinion. (And yes I understand the reasons why people choose what they choose. )

You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don’t agree with your solution. That doesn’t need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.

I live in an area where I don’t need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don’t normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.

Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn’t for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I’m entitled to my own opinion. ;)

Just get an even bigger car, it will keep you safe from those.

Thanks.

You think the political situation is so unstable in the US? What facts do you base that on?

Has it to do with the election campaign that has just begun?

Why is it tasteless? Is it the depiction of war and unrest or is it the style? Honest question, I’m not in the loop about the movie.
