as a country that we simply don’t give a damn about making the changes that the rest of the world want us to

This bits interesting. Obama pushed hard for Asia's involvement in climate commitments, and Biden made policy decisions based on attempting to reduce climate impact.

There's definitely a sizable amount of American's who do care great about climate change, obviously though that doesn't include the current government.

That's sad to hear- people on the internet can seem harsh, I thinks its probably too easy to forget there's a real person behind most questions.

It's been like a month now, and I still don't really think LLMs are solarpunk, trying oto make them more.open and community based sounds worthwhile though, so good luck with it!

Massive side point, but if you're interested on "empowering people who don't want to deal with technical details of coding" check out ideas as a whole around "end user programming". It's a pretty broad church, but there's some cool stuff happening under that term that it sounds like you'd like.

Yeah, I don't understand (amongst many other things) why distinguish between 3,500% and 3,521%? What insane sum was used it generate that figure?

Also, at this point a part that costs $10 is now $362.10. Is there any point using tariffs here rather than just making them illegal?

My tip would be, give one of them a go for a set time period, like a month!

It's so interesting how the brain gets used to stuff, I did have the same thing when I swapped, but now cow milk tastes kind of funky when I do have it. You might find that after a week or so, you end up preferring it (you might also find you hate it, but at least you can say you gave it a go when you swap back, haha!)

I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.

The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.

Yup! Completely butchered that spelling, sorry for anyone who tried to google them.

Ah that sucks! What kind of issues did she have?

I'm obviously one person, so not a good sample, but I've had F4 with stock android for about 3 uears and haven't seen any bugs yet, even with android auto.

As to the camera, I'd agree it's "fine" but if you ignore the repairability and ethical supply chain angle, you can definitely get a much better camera for the same price range.

To be fair, it does have a big security emphasis. I don't know enough about either /E/OS or GOS to know how they compard but /E/OS does some cool things like sandboxing apps etc for security.

I'm writing from F4 as well. The longer I own it, the more I'm impressed. Fixability has saved me replacing the phone twice now (I dropped it on the screen, and got cement in the usb charger).

If you're just considering spec, its fairly pricey, but the repairability easily makes up for it. Have a pair of their bluetooth headphones too which I love.

Question for OP: how did you find installing /e/OS? I have android still but am thinking about trying to install.

[–] houseofleft@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Might not be the same, but they do partner with Murino to offer an /e/os degoogled alternative.

I'm not gonna try to convince you otherwise because I think our world views are too different for that to be worthwhile l, but I do want to understand, when you say "are the problem", what in your mind is the problem?

Is it that you think they're taking up state resources, what resources do you think they're using vs work that they do?

Is it because you have an idea if what the make up in America should be in terms of languages, birthplace or race?

Not trying to debate you, genuinely interested to understand why you feel like that.

Tbf, all these headlines miss that indexes like the S&P 500 are still far down from pre-tariff-mania. Investors are more or less updating their views for how screwed the markets are, rather than betting that everything is fine.

 

I'm looking to purchase a bike (probably second hand) and I want to make sure that it'll be easily repairable in the future for at least standard maintenance stuff.

Thing is, I don't know anything about bikes- I've heard people say off hand that modern bikes might perform better but are less maintanable, is this a thing? What qualities/features in a bike tell me that it'll be easier to maintain in the long run?
