Gosh, the money to join the USB-C standard should go into RHS instead!

Yes there is, but very little subscribers and no activity. I think it’s too niche to have the required critcal size with the current size of the Lemmy user base.

I have the same issue with Reddit, there’s a middle size good quality subreddit about my specific job which is the best place on the internet to see news and discussions about it in one place. It helps me increase and test my knowledge a lot.

The combustion of gun powder is slower than sound speed, it doesn’t mean the bullet cannot be though.

Slower than sound speed, faster than sound speed.

The European carbon tax is doing pretty doing good at making the European energy system greener by making fossil fuels less competitive. Renewables are now very competitive.

If the taxes are redistributed to help the poor buy more sustainable product it may work.

Yes some of the products have extremely functional uses, but for the rest of it

Don’t you think most plastic products are used because it’s convenient?

I fight against it, but it is hard to not recognize how a plastic bottle is much lighter than any other bottle material, how convenient it is to get a plastic bag at the shop when you forgot yours, how convenient it is to get a ready meal in a cheap plastic box instead of an expensive and/or heavy washable container that you may have to bring back etc. Even compared to paper bags, plastic bags are more resistant, lighter and more compact.
There are probably much more similar convenience uses in the industry.
Plastic is mostly used because it’s convenient, not because of a big plastic conspiracy.

So to solve the issue, we need states to make it expensive enough that people will overcome the inconvenience. Making people pay for plastic bags at shops works very well, for example.

I speak as someone horrified by the over-abundance of plastics in Japan. Some fruits have 3 layers of plastic around, even bananas come in plastic bags, because modern Japan is all about looking clean and being convenient, zero fucks given to ecology.

It’s not specific to Reddit, you’ll see that in any community, probably because we are social animals.

I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).

“I’m paying with exposure.” argument is not that great. Agreed with easy access to culture for those who can’t spare the money though.

The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.

Or he was eating to compensate his frustration to promote software for Windows and since they made Proton, he is happy again.

2% of active users vs 18% for Mastodon though. I’m impressed by Mastodon’s percentage, how comes?

In France, just using the word race to talk about humans is considered racist.

Edit: for people who don’t believe that, he’s an article about that and its consequences when George Floyd-like events happen in France. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230705-france-colorblind-nahel-immigration-talk-about-race-laicite-secularism
