This is why we need as many people as possible to vote early and or by mail! My state, Texas, doesn’t allow mail-in voting, but voting early takes so much less time and it’s harder for any sort of shenanigans since it is so many more days.

There is a problem of lag. By the time temperatures are high enough to force the economy to stop, the amount of CO2 will be sufficient to continue pushing the temperature up considerably.

All of the people here saying Backyard Scientist is better should check out his latest video.

I remember this being a known thing with dolphins too, but maybe that’s just one of those things you learn as a kid and trust forever

I think all you need to know about this guy is the Vatican asked him to resign a few days ago and he said no. You do not say to no to that sort of thing! He absolutely knew they would remove him and instead of going quietly he said no to make it a big thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for office, or starting his own break off sect of “true Catholics” soon. Good riddance.

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

We don’t get many declarations of war these days. Usually they are just special military actions, or security operations, or something like that. What makes this different?

In theory the Pope has such powers, but technically he is the first among equals. It would only make things worse if he started acting like a dictator purging bishops that don’t agree with him. There is already a strong, “not my Pope” movement in the US, hence this article. He doesn’t want to drive those people further away. His goal is unity not division.

Press the up arrow over and over until you find the command. This is they way!

That is what made this whole .ml problem. Some people have apparently accidentally leaked American state secrets to Mali by typo.

Switched over from Spotify after they went too hard on Joe Rogan, so I never used Google Music. I like YouTube music. That said, they’ve just started adding podcasts - really hope they don’t go the way of Spotify.

The first species on Earth for sure. Climate change seems more and more likely to be the great filter.

I thought everyone had a SFW account and a NSFW account…

How common is this really? Is it actually common and it’s being shared to create a commotion, or is this something the armed forces are only asked to do when shit is getting serious? (Or is it somewhere in the middle?)

I watch Linus from time to time, but don’t get that sort of recommendation (unless I watch some gun videos!). I only watch his tech stuff and don’t know anything about his politics. Now I’m worried.

One potential downside is that the subscriber number actually is just the people who subscribe to that community from your instance and not all instances. This will need a patch from Lemmy itself to fix. As it is it’s a bit misleading, like maybe one Android community seems bigger, but actually it’s just more people from the instance you are using, and not more people overall - there is no current way to know.

This needs to be pinned to the top of Memmy community! My Traverse tab was broken and I couldn’t upvote or comment. That’s all I had to do to fix it. Thanks

There is this remote cabin in the woods belonging to my parents I used to visit frequently, mostly in the summer. I had a chest fridge hooked up to a basic solar panel system I built. One July while visiting I had fully stocked the fridge with food, when I had issues with the solar panel batteries and I couldn’t keep the fridge powered on. I kept putting off cleaning it for the rest of the summer, and then the winter too. Next summer I finally worked up the nerve. Everything, even the cardboard packaging had melted into this brown sludge full of many generations of maggots and flies. The only things semi recognizable was the plastic containers. It took me days and so much bleach to clean it well enough to trust using it again. If it wasn’t such a pain to get out there in the first place I’d have probably tossed the whole thing, but I’m cheap. Still have it, though I don’t get out there much anymore. If my battery dies again I’m throwing everything out right away!

I used to use Arch, but grew tired of having to tinker with stuff and most everything I do is on the browser anyways. For the other stuff I have all of my Linux programs still and Android apps and that feels like enough to me. Not limited at all really, but I don’t play any modern games or anything.
