If I remember right they were defederated for being overall toxic and there were a number of nazi-esque people on that instance specifically. I may be totally misremembering though.

Yeah, it feels like there's less drama.

Love that the fash instance is still up to being complete incels. Thanks :)

 

Anything new with beehaw and the lemmyverse? Are we still changing platforms? Things seem a lot more quiet now. Is that really a bad thing though? How are you?

Or normalizing the practice of choosing your own name if you don't like yours. (though maybe that wouldn't work well for younger kids)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think they do about the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I use librewolf which does that. However I also like this because it’s a totally separate app so I can just swipe with three fingers between my workspaces to access it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why? No more so than a normal browser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never heard of them but quick research makes me think sorta. These all seem to be mobile apps but this is for linux desktop. It keeps all these sites in one app as opposed to just making a desktop shortcut.

 

Tangram is a browser for your pinned tabs. What this means is that I can put all my frequently visited websites in an app and have the ability to view them all with great ease. Before I was signing into everything each time I needed to check it but now I just switch to my workspace that has tangram open. I use mine for email, discord, and matrix. As a tab hoarder it's also quite nice in how it clears up many of my tabs.

Oh that's such BS. They let him self report.

These candidates are really the only challengers to Biden in the primaries. All of their campaigns are extremely long shots (but not impossible in my opinion- if we decided we liked them more than Biden they could win). Let's all have a civilized discussion/debate over them. Let's try to not focus too heavy on their perceived inability to beat Biden but focus on them as actual candidates.

my takeMW: I recently watched an interview with Marianne Williamson who I'd never heard of before (I'm sure there's a reason media doesn't cover her). She really impressed me with her views, especially on neoliberalism. She heavily reminds me of Bernie and isn't running just for the sake of it or as a protest like some other long shot candidates do. In my opinion she deserves everyone's vote in the primaries, at least. She is also very talented at oration.

CW: I'll be honest, I know very little about him and need to do more research.

RFK JR: He's literally a clown. He's a nepo baby and all his views are inconsistent, harmful, and crackpot. He has no shot at winning.

They're so great!

  • Pockets
  • Super cool looking
  • Warm
  • Blanket whenever you need them

||Just don't make them a neckbeard thing people!||

 

Here's how it'll work:

  • You love one person or be kind to 2+ people
  • They do the same to other people
  • Repeat
  • Eventually the whole world will be in the hands of our savior. Kindness. We will all be richer and more powerful

Rules:

  • You must be kind to at least 2 people
  • You must ensure they're also kind to the next people
  • No Nazis

Examples on how to be kind: https://personaldevelopfit.com/random-acts-of-kindness/

Who's with me!

Can We Make Bicycles Sustainable Again? (solar.lowtechmagazine.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

A great read+great magazine.

TL;DR: Old bikes last way longer than new bikes. From a production standpoint, steel bikes have a smaller carbon footprint than aluminum or carbon frame bikes. Conventional bikes use fewer consumables over their usable life than electric bikes. Among electric bikes, cargo bikes use the most resources to run and maintain.

 

Pretty useful tbh
