Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

For what it's worth I generally agree with you, and especially think the people who treat /all as their own personal feed are nuts, but nonetheless it's something that some people do 🫠

Everyone has their own preferences about how to use things!

Browsing the global/all feed is one way to find new communities, and some people just like using it in general rather than defaulting to a subs-only view.

A lunar eclipse is on tomorrow – NZ and parts of Australia are in for a spectacle (theconversation.com)
 

As the full moon rises tomorrow (Friday March 14), it will be a special sight for those in Aotearoa New Zealand. It will also be worth a look for people along the east coast of Australia.

Rather than being full and bright, the Moon will be partway through a lunar eclipse, the first of two lunar eclipses to occur this year.

New Zealand is in for a treat as the Moon will rise during totality – when the Moon passes completely into Earth’s shadow. Instead of turning dark, the Moon takes on a reddish glow that’s colloquially referred to as a “blood moon”.

Along the east coast of Australia, totality will happen while the Moon is still below the horizon; by the time the Moon rises, it will be in part-shadow.

Crazy that this is how I found out about this. I guess that's what I get for not being enough of a repost bot 😔

'Not sustainable': The heavy price your 6c tea bag is exacting on others (www.abc.net.au)
 

An ABC investigation in Sri Lanka has found popular certification schemes are failing to live up to their ethical promises.

On one estate visited by the ABC, we met tea plucker Vimaladevi, who showed us inside the one-bedroom home where she lives with seven family members.

“I was born in this house and all my children were born here,” she said.

This plantation has Rainforest Alliance certification and is on the supplier list of Tetley, Dilmah, Lipton, Twinings and Yorkshire Tea.

Under Rainforest Alliance certification, these houses need to be “safe, clean and decent”, but Vimaladevi’s roof is damaged and her home regularly floods.

During the dry season, there’s no drinking water. Early last year “for three months we didn’t have water,” she said.

Despite Rainforest Alliance requiring audits to ensure that standards are met, Vimaladevi said she’s never met an auditor.

“Nobody’s come to see our house. You’re the only one to come and see.”

Breaking the law of silence about the mental health crisis in Queer Fedi, and the Tech Mastodon clique that makes it so miserable.

This is a very long post, so I imagine few will read it (fair enough), but I felt it added significant value to fediverse discourse and haven't seen it around, so here it is.

Different people also have different sensitivity to different types of artifacts. No doubt a degree of the complaints is overblown due to a big of tribal / mob mentality going on, but a few of the people complaining might just be more sensitive to it.

With TAA specifically there's probably also implementation differences going on, where someone has a bad experience with it once or twice and then generalizes that experience to all implementations of it.

'Gooner 9/11' averted as Zenless Zone Zero's butt-obfuscation technology is rolled back in the face of horny outrage (www.pcgamer.com)
 

I'm really not sure where to begin with this one, so I'm just going to lay it out and then try to explain later: A recent update to Zenless Zone Zero made it impossible to get a good look at character's asses, and the blowback was so fierce developer MiHoYo reverted the change less than a day later.
