:(

Looked at the article, and it starts off pretty stupid

While everyone else seems to be slugging H20 from 40-ounce Stanley tumblers, I have never understood the appeal of drinking plain, tasteless water all day.

Some people live in areas where the water tastes bad, but seeing the water as “boring” might mean that you’re drinking too much of the other stuff (soft drinks, juice, sugary etc). It’s not that those other things are not hydrating, but they’re unhealthy for other reasons.

The question feels more pressing than ever given rising temperatures, heat waves

I refuse to normalize a world where people lack access to clean drinking water. 😠

The rest of the article is pretty standard advice. There’s no set amount of water that everyone needs to drink, and your diet/lifestyle/body composition/the weather will all play a role. Going based on thirst is a good indicator, but make sure you actually drink water when you’re thirsty. !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml

But using that to justify unequal access to clean drinking water is a big no.

NATO gold is reserved for the united states only, with trump as chief senior executive top general. No one else can attend those meetings

Everyone else gets put in NATO brass, and they need to meet regularly to show that they are on board with this new system.

It’s too big

Fair enough, some people prefer smaller phones

Too many stars

It’s overhyped? I didn’t know that, but good to know

Not enough aliens

?

Everything’s too far away

Are people here worshipping Dolly Parton? Seems like people are pointing out the good things that she has done, because that acknowledgement encourages others to do good too.

It’s fine to point out the bad things she’s done too, but I feel like you’re concerned about an issue that doesn’t really exist here

The thing is

• There are delusional leaders in democratic systems that build a cult of personality and market themselves as having been picked by God to lead, some even going to authoritarian lengths to cement their rule. The united states is currently one of those countries, and I think that is a far more dangerous thing to block from my country than Norway’s monarchy
• many monarchies are hereditary celebrities rather than hereditary leaders, where the position is kept around for the tourism value and they do not have (or claim to have) any right to rule over people

So when you make a comment saying that “they deserved it” about someone whose crime is being born into the spotlight, despite any good they may have done with that position, people are going to think you’re an uninformed jerk.

Good to hear :)

I second the advice to join more communities. I’ve been subscribing to more and more things over the years and my feed always has new content

I recommend these guide pages. The first two are for how this place differs from Reddit, and the third one is for how to easily find more communities to join

Generally I’d agree, but I’m suspicious about this one because the original announcement doesn’t have that kind of wording.

It’s FOSS seems to have added marketing speak when reporting on the announcement, and the phrase “It’s not X, it’s Y” is a very common affectation with the current models

Which is great, but it’s not always convenient.

For example, this article

how do you handle backups without making it a second job?

Shouldn’t this be automatic once it is set up?

The heat part is harder to deal with. Some computers are more power efficient than others

It would depend on the specific antibiotic and specific probiotic. Each antibiotic will kill a certain subtype of bacteria (ex. Those that have a certain type of shell). So it’s possible that they will go their separate ways, or you’ll waste both by reenacting osmosis jones.

Now this second part is something I’m not sure about. I used to think that it makes sense to have probiotics after an antibiotic treatment is complete, since you can repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria once the harmful bacteria has been eradicated. However apparently the science isn’t settled on that: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190124-is-it-worth-taking-probiotics-after-antibiotics

XCancel is actually one instance of many that was running the Nitter software, so it was pretty close to what you were describing. People could run it themself, or pick the specific server that they wanted (ex. One closer to them).

Unfortunately, the software project itself got shut down: https://nitter.net/

I imagine we’ll see forks on other code repositories soon enough.

That was a very helpful deep dive, thank you for taking the time to write it :)

What is the gameplay like, the screenshots make it look like a mosquito simulator 😄

I’m not sure how this is a Fairphone alternative when “Fair” is the most important part of Fairphone (ethical manufacturing, and not having child/slave labor in the supply chains). This one sounds like it went in the opposite direction, by making it cheap at the cost of questionable supply chains.

edit: they acknowledge it in their report as something they may work on in the future https://www.eqs-news.com/media/document/6de6e559-8027-4035-a697-d84378170ae3/assets/DE0005156004-JA-2022-EQ-E-01.pdf

No one knows what the future will bring. But what we do know is that if we protect our environment, conserve resources and take our fellow human beings into consideration, the years and decades ahead will be better. […] In order to manufacture our products, however, we still have to purchase components such as microchips and storage media from the Far East or from other regions of the world. It is not always possible to fully monitor their manufacturing processes and supply chains. Gigaset therefore strives to make the preliminary stages transparent and to optimize them further.

Sometimes full sedation is too risky, or at least not worth it for factors other than cost
