Fixing our emissions problem absolutely is the most important part, but technology for ecology restoration is ALSO very important. There are things (quite possibly the survival of many species of coral) that are already gone or past the point of no return, that are necessary to fix or replace to prevent further collapse of ecosystems. And don’t downplay the effort and work done by biologists and ecologists to save individual species, it is difficult and often underappreciated.

The most convincing argument that elon does a lot of cocaine is just listening to him speak in a less formal interview.

BUT! I don’t think he used to be actually smart, just lucky. Too many people assume “succesful” people had to have done something exceptional to earn it, but 99% of extremely wealthy people acquired that extreme wealth through a simple combination of luck and startup capital (which of course they have because they are lucky).

Doesn’t reddit not make money though? Like, if traffic resulted in them making money, I’d agree, but everything I’ve heard would indicate using reddit with an adblocker literally costs them money.

Exclusively using reddit to protest should be fine IMO, just don’t contribute anything that isn’t a protest (including voting)

Only if you don’t clean them in my experience, and they aren’t particularly hard to clean. Just give em as good scrub when you clean the shower.

You can get shower mats with brush parts. No need to fold yourself in half, just shuffle your feet.

This is basically why I’m not really using the apps. Firefox mobile browser seems the most convenient way to browse IMO, at least for now. If I want to look at the local for sh.itjust.works I just open a new tab at sh.itjust.works.

Nah, asking it to do math is perfect. People are looking for emergent qualities and things it can do that they never expected it to be able to do. The fact that it could do somewhat successful math before despite not being a calculator was fascinating, and the fact that it can’t now is interesting.

Let the devs worry about how good it is at what it is supposed to do. I want to hear about stuff like this.

Hopefully

Call me boring if you want but this was already overdone and annoying by the second time they did it. Not looking forward to dumb screenshots of hard to understand pixel drama taking over everything again, it will probably be posted all over lemmy too…

Didn’t they just start that “ad-sharing” thing? This really emphasizes that they are just trying to bribe content creators to drive traffic to the website.

I need some popcorn for when they panic and shut that down.

I see. That does change the tone I read it in when I know the intent.

Personally, I find infinite scrolling makes browsing on my phone with only one hand considerably easier.

What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren’t you basically telling OP “you shouldn’t want that”?

Is there a community for dimension20 started yet?

I doubt they would be willing to let people host and control their own versions of federated facebook, and I’m wondering then what would make it “decentralized” exactly. Are they just using decentralized as a buzz word because they are using ActivityPub?

here are the only rules relevant lemmy.world I could find (from mastadon.world):

“Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user’s posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account. Moderators will evaluate reports of Spam on a case by case basis.”

so it seems just do it in a restrained way and don’t let it be the majority of your content and it should be ok?

I spent a while looking for a “no ads” rule and then I figured it out.

Your home instance sh.itjust.works , where your account lives, has a rule of no ads. Lemmy.world, where this D&D community lives, does not appear to (yet) have a broad rule against advertisements.

I would still ask the mod before posting self promotion tho.

I’m just confused by what you are asking. Are you asking if this community is OK with you self promoting D&D related stuff you made and want to sell? If it were up to me, I would say yes within reason, no one wants this community to become one loud ad. But I’m not sure the moderator would agree and it is up to them. I don’t see a no self-promotion rule yet but maybe message them directly?

If you just want to share content you found and generally participate like normal then I am absolutely sure you are wanted here.
