Entire world, how do you feel about being stored in a database by US government agencies like the NSA?

Feels bad, man.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

The Great Green Wall initiative. They're teaching farming methods that restore water tables and greening arid areas across middle Africa, stopping the advance of the Sahara desert. They supply the expertise and the materials, and locals do the work. In the process they're also reversing the exodus of young people to the cities, because increased/improved agriculture provides jobs for them in their home villages.

Loki (spoilers) (lemmy.world)

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?

It's not just you, but it's not just Lemmy either. Anywhere I go, I need to prune subs or else my feed becomes more and more pessimistic.

I think as a species we have a mental bias that focuses on what needs changing and not what's okay as it is.

I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.

When no-one was looking, Elon Musk lost forty billion. He lost 40 billion. That's as many as four tens billions. And that's terrible.

I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
