  You can add a wetting agent to water to decrease the surface tension

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perspective matters. There’s a couple things you can do to majorly reduce your carbon footprint. Beyond those it gets increasing difficult to have smaller and smaller effects. At some point the next most effective things to do with your time and effort become

  • do activism
  • earn more money
    • to buy offsets
    • to donate to activist charities

  The time and effort you spend living like a weirdo has an opportunity cost that you could be doing those things. Furthermore it looks bad. There was a study that found that when you tell people that tackling climate change requires major sacrifice, they became more likely to deny climate change is even real.

  I worked with chatgpt to since I’m not a python dev, and this is what I came up with

  from time import time
  
  class PlaySession:
      def __init__(self, data: dict):
          self.guild_id = int(data['guild_id'])
          self.user_id = int(data['user_id'])
          self.timestamp = data['time']
  
      def is_longer_than_half_hour(self) -> bool:
          return self.timestamp + 1800 < time()
  
      async def resolve_member(self, bot) -> "discord.Member | None":
          guild = bot.get_guild(self.guild_id)
          return guild.get_member(self.user_id) if guild else None
  
      @staticmethod
      def is_playing_league(member) -> bool:
          activity = getattr(member, 'activity', None)
          name = getattr(activity, 'name', None)
          return name and name.lower() == "league of legends"
  
  async def ban_for_league(member):
      await member.send("The 30 minutes has elapsed and you are still playing league, get banned.")
      await member.ban(delete_message_days=0, reason="playing league")
  
  async def process_entries(bot, entry_dicts):
      sessions = [PlaySession(d) for d in entry_dicts if PlaySession(d).is_longer_than_half_hour()]
      for session in sessions:
          member = await session.resolve_member(bot)
          if member and PlaySession.is_playing_league(member):
              await ban_for_league(member)

  It’s a service. It doesn’t just run in the browser.

  Noo! I loved Pocket. It’s integrated into my Kobo eReader. It was the only good way to get articles easily synced on to an eReader. I hope Kobo buys Pocket. Or Rakuten, since that’s a tech company and they own Kobo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, Netflix knows I’m watching Stranger Things. But afaik they don’t sell that information. And even if they do, there’s still reason for this company to try to get it themselves for cheaper. And they know something else about you based on these crappy apps they’re embedded in. So that’s all extra data points they can cross reference and get even more data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s trying to figure out if you’re watching Stranger Things it can look for when your stationary at home and just needs to record a few seconds at a time every few minutes. I don’t know how the fingerprinting works. It might be able to run locally and not use a ton of power. We’re talking Shazam, not full text transcription.
