I wish it did. Getting seconds is not even easy. Like pressing the clock on the lock screen sometimes works (for the few seconds it shows the screen) but absolutely not consistently…

They also need cooling for exactly the same reason and pretty much the same amount for the same power generation.

Yes, a massive shitstorm and similar things.

Without comment eh?

Do you think the same about peoples pronouns?

So let’s just accept things, accept that whooopsie the person said it and we knew but we did not act, let’s not change things! Right.

We are talking about the USA, I fucking hope they do not take school shooting threats as jokes!

Why?

It really is. I get the sentiment that there can be schadenfreude.

The animated stickers on signal are trash in comparison and there are only a fraction as many, like 120 or so in total if I just counted correctly.

Plastic bottles are a good example. They are much lighter, so far less handling and transportation cost. Having multiple shapes for various products/companies makes it harder for collection etc. of glass. And glass simply takes a shit ton of energy (natural gas) to produce and recycle. So the climate cost is not simply “yes glass is better for the climate”. It only is when it gets refilled a ton of times and the transportation is only short distances (so when there is a high population density)

Anyway, when halve stop buying cheap shit they don’t even need, we will not only save that many resources but also avoid all of the trash that it inevitably ends up being a few years later. Companies would not continue production of the things.

Humans harm nature in EVERY form of society.

Sadly no, people excelling at something do not also need to be normal/reasonable humans.

Every single person is part of the problem. Some more, some less. Corporations do not harm the environment because they are inherently bad. They do it because people (all of them!) love stuff.

Human nature is the reason. Regardless of the system we live in. People want more, better, etc. and feel important/strong/rich/… It has always been like that. Heck, even monkeys display such things.

Correct. Convenience is just too important. Also status symbols because people just want to be seen as big/successful/important/… regardless if that damages things.

Please link such an article. I have never ever received a link to one when asking this question and I always ask for one/them when I read such “accusations”.

In Germany that is called “scheinselbstständig” like “bogus self-employment”, a worker who is officially hired as an independent contractor/freelancer, but in reality works like a dependent employee. And that is illegal since it specifically undermines employment laws etc.

What is the state of VR? Still super niche?

How do you know threre are fewer LLM and other bad actors etc. here? What if they specifically focus on making it shitty here to stay in power? Seeing what kind of crap gets posted here… not exactly better. Some unhinged comments/people/communities are also not exactly great, but I guess there really are people like that.
