Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change

These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening .... millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won't like that.

And we'll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.

Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don't follow any ethics when it comes to that.

If you push them in one way or another ... they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they've changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.

They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another ... they can do one thing in one country that can't be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.

It's getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more ... it's the corporations that have all the power and control.

Reposting is like Einstein's ideas and perspectives of time .... it's all relative.

When you see a meme for the first time, it's not a repost, it's something entirely new to you ... but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.

As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time ... to them it is new ... to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost

Just like time in the universe ... time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice ... but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone

Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity

Didn't the world fight a world war to stop this kind of government from taking full control over a people?

Don't exist until they're gone ... I'm a middle child in a family of eight ... mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest ... as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.

Don't change the logo ... just keep it as is ... I identify the app more for the app than for the site it was associated with .. I associate Sync with Sync ... I don't associate it with reddit, lemmy, kbin or anything ... I just associate it with Sync which makes the most sense to me

That logo only means Sync to me ... and as an app I think it should remain that way

Does this mean that in ten years we're going to have a pandemic again?

I remember reading once that eating insects would be more efficient than eating beef or meat from larger animals. We can harvest from large animals about 60 to 70 percent of their mass as protein .... if we did the same for insects, over 90 percent of their mass would be protein.

It's also a wake up call to those who created content and did tons of free moderating for no gain other than personal prestige ... it is making us all realize that whenever we put in extra effort into a social media website that is privately owned - we create the content and reason for the sites existence but we don't financially benefit from it, someone else does who did no work to create any of it other than to claim ownership over everything.

It's the same old story from a thousand years ago or even the arguments of worker rights from the 1800s ... we create the means of production but we receive no benefit from our work

One important key lesson that everyone misses is funding ... we have to normalize paying a bit of money through donations or subscriptions to those people that maintain instances and those people who maintain, update and build the software ... if we all just keep tell ourselves that we all just keep our heads down, lock the door and don't bother to pay anyone to keep the door locked ... the same problems of the past will always emerge .... Owners, developers, programmers, instance maintainers just running out of money and enthusiasm because they have the shoulder the financial costs while everyone ignores them and takes everything for granted.

If we all just keep expecting volunteers to keep everything running for us for free ... eventually we will run out of willing volunteers as the community grows and the costs add up over time as instances grow more popular

SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE ... whatever platform it is and whatever amount of money you can give ... even if it means we just give a dollar a day, across hundreds or thousands of user, it will protect your instance owner, and ensure that the people running your instance never run into a situation where they have to decide on either ending their work ... or selling everything they have to make a bit of money back.
