Minority opinion, but I like those style caps. I like that I dont have to hold the cap. It’s much easier on the go.

If it’s removable you can much more easily recycle it though. Sustainably that is much much better than average phones.

However, while more sustainable than current it is not the most sustainable if you charge it like that

In terms of the global economy I doubt any of us could raise enough capital to impact corporate strategy

So the US, Israel, and Germany have been directly involved in this conflict thus far.

Russia is currently in a war with Ukraine as we know, and has announced their support of Iran. North Korea has been sending troops to this conflict. US and much of western Europe is already involved in some way.

China has been reported sending some kind of undisclosed aid to Iran already.

Currently unrelated but Pakistan and India just had a border skirmish. Pakistan does border Iran.

There’s a lot of instability and World Wars worth of countries involved already. It truly wouldn’t take much to start connecting some of these conflicts. If that happens it gets much bigger

Hell they have just as much of a right to nukes as the US does. We shouldn’t police the world.

I don’t think my nation has the right to control what other nations do through military force.

We do it, but I don’t think we should

It’s a bad agreement to make. If a nuclear nation tries to make a deal with a non-nuclear country to not develop a weapon that country needs to double their nuclear program funding.

The US doesn’t respect their agreements and Russia clearly hasn’t. At best nuclear nations just want to keep the non-nuclear nation subservient

I know what gets me is being too tired to commit to a game mentally after work.

Then the weekends get filled with chores

Honestly as an American, when I visited Germany I bought a deutschland ticket and used regional transit to travel most of the country. I used the DB navigator app.

It was hands down the best travel of my life. Just hop on a train and go anywhere. The delays were usually well recorded in the app and I could usually just reroute.

I was traveling for leisure though so waiting an extra 10 minutes was not a big deal, but all the city transit and local trains seemed to be mostly on time. Regional were the only ones I encountered with delays.

Then as I said we’re already cooked. But also that is demonstrably false anyway. Our judiciary is under heavy threat, but still functioning

I doubt they will find anything of use. The most powerful thing I can do is slow them down. It’s the best use of my privilege

I bring my phone. I likely won’t be breaking any laws, and I can afford a lawyer. So yeah arrest me and waste the system’s time. Just another data point they have to sort.

And if it gets to the point where none of that matters we were cooked anyway

You are well within your rights to protest using any flag your like. Don’t buy the bullshit. It’s called freedom of speech

I would say theoretically not. If you only do new construction nothing you touch has had shit on it yet. But then again it is intended for shit so it depends on where you draw the line

He must be a shit plumber if his wages are “meager”

Per the article the technology can be applied to cancer too a bigger “buisness”.

It can be advantageous for a buisness to develop these since it would basically undercut all other providers. If you make a drug that can totally cure a disease while your competitors only make on that treat it you’ve all but garunteed you will control the entire market.

I hate thinking of public health in these terms, but there are incentives to these advancements for companies

You should get them transfered to a disc. Tapes degrade

The Robots DVD radicalized me

You can download a copy of Wikipedia in full today before they turn it to shit.

Unlike the people in Alexandria, you can spend less that $20 and 20 minutes to download the whole thing and preserve it yourself

Maybe it would be wise for an instance to incorporate as a non-profit of some kind. I believe a designation exists for “social clubs”.

That way there’s less pressure on admins and less worry of facing personal consequences if someone posts something illegal on their instance since then the LLC or local equivalent would be liable.

I doubt an instance would ever have the funds but it could even theoretically allow for a paid admin.

I know it sounds like we’re reinventing the “big” internet again, but i don’t see it being an issue. I don’t see a world where lemmy could generate that level of profit. In this case an LLC would be about gaining legal protections only
