In the US, we weigh ourselves in pounds. But nutritional information about food is in grams.

Imo, the fact that the numerator and denominator units are incompatible isn't a big deal since the message "eat .08% percent of your body weight in protein each day" is not the intuitive way to think about how much to eat. It's much easier to use a unit in the numerator that is common measuring nutrition and a unit in the denominator that is common for measuring body weight.

That's a good point to illustrate the importance of banning cars for personal transportation; all of the traffic is making your partner's job slower and more stressful

It's common to call products dumb when they have the marketing strategy of tricking gullible people into thinking they need it.

I don't see the connection between neurodivergence and phones

Yes, so I can probably plan for it.

Here's a quote from the Wikipedia page:

In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium, the consortium included several Chinese companies such as Kunlun Tech and Qihoo 360.

I think OP believes every town in the US has twice as many homeless people as churches, it doesnt need to be exactly 1 church and 2 homeless people.

But either way, that's probably not true. Since homeless people tend to be in larger cities.

But then again, lots of people become homless in the suburbs and then move to the city to get the social services. If churches in the suburbs housed a few people as they become homeless, it would probably help. It's better to keep people in their communities so they have a better chance of returning to housefullness.

But probably not that much, since homelessness rates are strongly correlated with housing prices, so expensive cities create more homelessness than cheap suburbs.

The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it's so easy to move from server to server is.

If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.

I think that lemmy could use more people.

I'm not sure planting forests instead of housing is always a win for the environment. If the land is in a place where people can take sustainable transportation to their jobs, you should put dense housing there. Or else people will have to drive around your suburban forest.

But in the Brain May case, I have no clue where the forest is

Linux is often used to refer to a family of operating systems including Ubuntu, Debian, fedora, red hat, ect., which all use the Linux kernel.

However, GNU/Linux may be a better name for this family of operating systems, since they all use GNU components and (to varying extents) embrace the philosophy of the free software foundation.

Android uses the Linux kernel, but not GNU components, and do not embrace the philosophy of the Free software foundation.

Stalman, the man who founded GNU and the free software foundation published his thoughts on this:

I guess this is a situation where the proper name of GNU / Linux is useful

Edit: Chrome OS is is a GNU/ Linux and a couple of "proper" Linuxes are not.

This can also be achieved by high frequency transit.
