A rapid phase out of fossil fuels is the only way to avert the worst damages of climate change and nearly 30 years of COPs have so far failed to articulate this as a goal, let alone set binding targets for it, despite overwhelming evidence of its importance.

Will probably be on game pass soon enough!

Unless violence against innocents is being perpetrated or threatened, the terrorist label should not be used. Property damage against industrial polluters and non-violent civil disobedience should never be counted as terrorism. Frankly, at this point, this kind of action is arguably a moral imperative.

I’m a real estate advisor so definitely non-technical though I do consider myself more familiar with the workings of computers and most other tech than the average person. I’m familiar with the Linux command line at a basic level and have run Linux on my PCs before. I’m also somewhat concerned about online privacy and frustrated over how capitalism is largely destroying the best things about the internet, something which seems to have accelerated as of late..

Exactly. The higher taxes should all go to healthcare, education and housing for working class people. And the leftovers should simply become dividends to provide additional support to the neediest. Oh and if people have issues with ‘welfare checks make people lazy’ or some other BS that’s repeatedly been proven to be nothing more than racist neoliberal propaganda then use the rest to fund something like the green new deal and all the jobs that will create. Or incubators for worker co-ops which are not only more fair and democratic in terms of allocation of wealth but make this kind of exploitative elite profiteering impossible.

I seem to prefer top 6 hours personally. It gives you the most updated stuff but has a short enough time period so that you can still check it a few times a day and likely get different posts assuming you are subbed to a good number of active communities.

This, along with LibRedirect, is still great for when you are searching for something and a Reddit post comes up. Like the direction Reddit is taking or not (and I don’t which is largely why I’m here), there are still some genuinely informative and useful posts on the platform and if you’re not willing to completely foreclose on viewing those ever again this is a great way to do so.

While it’s true that Toyota is pretty far behind other car manufacturers in pure battery EVs, they still have the best hybrid drivetrain around by miles and they have great plug-in hybrids. I just got a RAV4 Prime and I love it. It has around 40-50 miles of electric only range and then switches to hybrid mode if you drain the battery before recharging where it gets 60 MPG and can go over 500 miles on a tank. Honestly my commute is way less than 50 miles so I drive electric around 90% of the time. The only time I kick in the gas engine is for longer trips and especially on road trips it’s nice not to have to worry about finding charging stations and waiting an hour or two for a charge.

Oh then I guess it must just be a limitation in Memmy because that’s what I use. Unless I’m just missing it?

The ability to save comments and not just posts.

$30 (US) and I tip 30% but that’s mostly because I really like my barber and I know that he doesn’t make a ton of money.

Longboarding is a hobby I picked up a few years ago and it’s a ton of fun. Just riding along you feel like you’re floating over the pavement and the feeling is addicting. You can get e-boards if you’re not into pushing but I haven’t gone down that road yet since they seem heavier and more expensive. Also, most of them you can’t push and you have to rely on your battery and motor so if you run out m, you’re stuck. Some companies like the one I bought my board from (Bustin) make hybrid boards but they’re pricey.

I figured this would be coming to games within the next 3-5 years but the fact that there’s already a tech demo out is kinda crazy. It’s admittedly a little rough around the edges but still impressive.
