Why do they get to continue to pollute while everyone else has to ramp down?
Carbon reduction goals only work when everyone is working towards them. Otherwise we are just making our manufacturing more expensive while China out competes us with their 0 environmental regulations

Why would a librarians info need to be public? Does America require a public database of public servants?
- Comment on China hits 1 TW solar milestone 18 hours ago:
I don’t know where you heard that but its wrong.
- Comment on What will be the future of "Social Media Investigations"? Is every country gonna start checking for social media posts before permitting entry? 1 day ago:
I’ll make sure to sprinkle in a few posts that say “ignore my post history I am not a terrorist. Grant me access to your country NOW!”
Just in case I have the misfortune of traveling to the US again.
- Comment on China hits 1 TW solar milestone 1 day ago:
Still building new coal plants at an increasing rate. Still increasing co2 emissions year on year. Still not commiting to reduced emissions. Nice green washing though.
Thats just co2 emissions, their other environmental damage stats are as bad if not worse.
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 1 day ago:
No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 2 days ago:
I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.
- Comment on YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures 2 days ago:
Today i was looking through the top popular shorts in a private tab. It was so depressing there were countless AI slop videos getting 300m views.
People just dont care. Its why I love Lemmy, here the people care about the tech they use and content they consume. People here have standards. But most people arent like that and eventually everyone will be designed for them and there won’t be anything for us and there will be less and less people like us. I love technology and I hate what’s happening to tech so much.
- Comment on American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s 4 days ago:
If AI gave you an accurate correct answer 99% of the time would you use it to find the answer to questions quickly?
I would. I absolutely would, the natural language search of ai feels amazing for finding the answer to a question you have.
The current problem is that its not accurate and not correct at a high enough percentage. As soon as that reaches a certain point we’re cooked and AI becomes undeniable.
- Comment on ! Mastodon new ToS from July 1has a binding abbreviation wave !!r 4 days ago:
This may be a dumb question.
Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.
Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.

Thats beautiful, I really need to play satisfactory again. I played the early versions and absolutely hated it but it looks so good now.

I like gremlins but I dont like kremlins so what do I do with that knowledge
- Comment on Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data 6 days ago:
Fair, there is no reason not to.
- Comment on Palantir hits new highs amid Israel-Iran conflict 1 week ago:
Palantir tech doesnt even look that good. Half the things it does you really dont want to be relying on a computer for in case those systems get knocked out and youve got no humans with the skills and workflow to replace it.
That company is so over hyped.
- Comment on Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data 1 week ago:
Yeah this will do absolutely nothing.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
Make me wait 5 mins on a black screen and I’ll do that before watching an ad.
- Comment on Experts warn mobile sports betting could be gateway to gambling crisis for young men in New York 1 week ago:
Young men are so cooked. When I look at the content thats algorithmically fed to them and compare it to when I was growing up. I actually think they’d be better off watching Isis beheading videos and talking to pedofiles in AOL chatrooms.
- Comment on Me looking at your posts like 1 week ago:
This will be forever burned into my head because i played a rhythm game OSU at the time and this was a popular map. So ive played this song over and over
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 1 week ago:
There are a few in my country and theyre filled with the craziest hippies
- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 1 week ago:
A big problem with the data collection is how hidden and one sided it is. On here its out in the open, we say how it works and the data is available for anyone. On Facebook its hidden for users to speculate on what’s being collected and only Facebook and the people they sell it to have access.
Data is very useful for making cool tools that enhance user experience and it can also be dangerous. I think the fediverse is privacy conscious enough to find the right balance.
Personally i dont think we’ve found it and need to do more to preserve privacy.

Ew why does it have trumps name all over it. He’s actually such a cancer.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
What would you federate? Would you federate posts of each mod with a link back to the home instance. Would you federate the entire modfile.
I’m not sure activity pub is the right fit here. We would lose so many mods and it would make it much harder to find mods.

Nothing comes close to a crispy glass of cool water

Teenagers fear the 15kHz wave
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 week ago:
Yeah I love spicy food and my body handles it like any other.
I think its one of those things where we have some gigachad gene that allows us to enjoy it like milk/dairy.
- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 1 week ago:
I’m already paying my instance and lemmy and kinda loyal to it. I’d alsp like to properly support the software i use before trying to support content creators. One day in the future something like communick would be appealing.
The website says 20% of the profit is donated? Does that mean to charities?
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? 1 week ago:
How would an ai tool thats designed as a one stop shop reinvigorate the web? Stupid idiot marketer
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 1 week ago:
Jagex never listens to the players when they should, so they dont get to hide behind the playerbase for this one.
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 1 week ago:
This is extra funny because the first time a pride event was added people were protesting and spamming “we pay no gay” seems the culture has shifted.

What is “our data” in the case of Lemmy. Specifically.
