Overuse of emojis can also really be annoying for people using screen readers. They clapping hands get clapping hand to clapping hands hear clapping hands something clapping hands like clapping hands this. So it’s also an accessibility issue.

I mean, where to start? Try a new wave playlist somewhere - there’s lots of well known songs that you’ll recognize and start branching out from there.

You’re welcome! Happy I shared it then

I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit here. There’s significant overlap between anarchism and solarpunk. Maybe there’s some other leftwing instance where this community would also fit (or maybe better), but that doesn’t matter that much due to the federated character. All this regardless of what my stance on voting is btw.

Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

Never too late to limit the impact as much as we can.

I don’t have nor do I want shares in the arms industry. I’m not a fucking ghoul.

More money for the death-machine and profits for the shareholders, hurray!

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Watch people flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot instead of going for something less dystopian.

I have similar issues running Gnome on AMD.

No shit!

On the carpet you mean?

We also can’t plant enough trees to mitigate climate change.

This won’t do, they don’t have a pun or funny reference in their URL!

Really goes for almost everything. I don’t want my machines and appliances to be ‘smart’ and ‘connected’. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that’s it.

If he isn’t bought and paid for by the fossil fuel lobbies, then he admits to being a complete idiot.

It’s main purpose is to make some die-hards angry, I think.

Read up on the history of… any emancipatory movement, really. Civil disobedience, strikes, direct action, have all involved some forms of violence (be it so-called vandalism, or direct confrontation between groups). Many in reaction to violence by the state or corporations (Battle of Blair Mountain!). Thinking we will achieve far-reaching goals without resorting to some sort of radical actions is ludicrous.

Coincidentally, I had a conversation about dating and climate change with a friend today. We both agreed that people showing off their exotic travel destinations have become a turn-off. Especially when they use airplane emoji’s in their bio. On the other side: it does feel like some sort ‘race’ to show off those fancy place to communicate how well off you are, and not having pics like that may make you less attractive (but then again, why would I want to attract those huge polluters?). Dating gets you in a weird headspace, fucking hell.
