Mods don’t need to decide this. That’s what voting is for. Moderation should be reserved for harmful or abusive behavior that damages a community or user in the short time before voting solves the issue.

Dude’s fingers are built different.

I feel like it is usually logical though lol. This is kinda the one situation where it’s not because you don’t really need more than 10 million anyway.

Unless you really wanted that button.

Quite possibly. But it might be full of salt which would need to be removed first.

I think the article mentioned some of it was being composted so yeah I guess it works. But I was wondering what the highest value use would be so maybe it could be harvested from the water before it fouls up the beaches.

The authors seemed to think it was having negative effects near shore too. But I suppose it might be worth researching.

That said even if it’s true there seems to be no shortage so harvesting it shortly before it washes up seems harmless enough.

Desal has environmental downsides though. The biggest one is it’s an energy hog. That’s a big problem as we’re trying to decarbonize.

I do think eventually it will make sense to provide abundant desalinated water to arid, near coastal areas but there are issues with tech and infrastructure that need fixing for that to happen. Most importantly, the elimination of fossil fuels from the electric grid.

Seems like there’s got to be a way to harvest and make use of the stuff, no? Animal feed?

Why would he love it?

Trolling is too subjective to be used a justification for banning. I will die on this hill.

Most people have no idea how many languages and dialects were exterminated as imperialism and nationalism emerged in the last few hundred years. The very concept of a national language that is the same across a broad national territory is novel. And it was created through violence.

The invisible algorithm is going to kill free social media. Over the past couple of years I’ve noticed that my front page increasingly boosts right-wing content and buried left-wing content. I’ve been wondering if this was intentional and this post adds evidence to that theory.

Not great evidence tbh.

Like, thinking Lemmy is kinda toxic? I mean isn’t that just a widely acknowledged fact?

All the more reason not to put these in residential areas…

Instance shaming?! Despicable, that’s basically fascism.

Is there a way to not require a Microsoft account? That’s why I haven’t upgraded.

Eh there’s always that one guy that does shit like this, unfortunately. I’m not saying it is true but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Probably some number of people who either didn’t care or didn’t hear the news.

Harder maybe but it’s clearly doable. We have a number of options now. And it’s not like they’ve had to make them hyper-aerodynamic or anything. Just took a little more advanced battery tech.

This is a different person from the PieFed dev, right? If I had nickel for each time a dev of a popular fediverse software tried to sneak secret censorship into their software… well you get it. Admittedly this one seems way worse than the piefed one. That was reversed, right?

I just don’t get how anyone would think users would want or even be remotely ok with this.

Oh yeah PTB, obviously. Banning for downvoting a single post has got to be one of the worst reasons imaginable.

Yeah the electric pickup is such a no brainer for the US market and it was one of the first.

But what if it was horribly ugly and made everyone hate you? Surely it will sell even better then!
