The independent security analysis you mentioned.

Link?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
That’s great to aspire for but there’s still an almost total lack of content in many genres I enjoy on YouTube. I don’t even think PeerTube has progressed as far as the Lemmy community in terms of content availability. Admittedly this is probably because text and image content is much easier to create, but as a user I don’t find much reason to spend time there yet.

Can you give an example? I’ve heard many now that are bearable to listen to but none that really sound human.

Sounds dubious but they’ve achieved surprising things before.

Does it though?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah I think you are right about that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah that’s about what I was thinking, thanks. I’m going to ponder it but as I’m relatively privileged it might be worth the risk for me to help my community.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I saw that but I’m just curious to hear other thoughts if there are any.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Are there any legal risks for signing up to this?

I find it really hard to give up, personally. If I didn’t fly I would basically never see my family.

How is this fucking poor people? They’re providing them free infrastructure upgrades. What a bizarre take.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing in a mango tree (more pics inside)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They love mushrooms actually. I’ve seen them eating mushrooms a number of times.

Sure but they only want the bots they approve of. That way they can charge for the privilege of allowing someone’s preferred bots onto the platform.

I’ve thought of this years ago. Y’all are just lucky I’m not a terrorist.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I do because I’ve read the research on which it was based. It’s complicated though, you should read the paper.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I would encourage you to read the actual research. It’s all documented there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I think the research was done prior to that event. It’s fairly old at this point.

Also, it’s a bit ambiguous how to count Hong Kong as a semi-autonomous region in China. Should you measure by percentage of Hong Kongers or percentage of Chinese? I might think the latter, since they’re subject to the force of that nation.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I assume you’re comparing this to rhetoric around cops. Cops are ideologically and organizationally unified with top down command structure and they protect one another even in cases of wrongdoing or violence.

Most modern protests are just random people who chose to show up. These are totally different situations.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is an important question. I believe the research in question was defined by the predominant tactic used, even if there was a small amount of violence.

So protests like the anti-ICE ones in LA would probably count as non-violent in the research.

Not overreacting. Driving is extremely dangerous for yourself and others around you, not to mention environmentally destructive. And an increasing number of people are choosing to live a car-free lifestyle for these reasons.

If you live in an area where alternatives like walking, biking, or transit are viable, then I’d definitely consider it. If not, then you may not have a choice. But consider whether you can move to an area where you can avoid driving. Even as an experienced and competent driver, as I’ve gradually decreased the frequency I drive, my quality of life has improved a lot.

Biking especially is increasingly viable in many cities and even suburbs nowadays. However, if you’re forced to share the road with heavy cars and trucks it could be dangerous if you don’t have good situational awareness. But that is something you may be able to develop with practice. As someone who is a regular urban cyclist I feel my awareness and skills have dramatically improved with time.

Is that really what’s being implied here? I feel like you’re unconsciously buying into this narrative that you have the support either Likud or Hamas when the morally correct position is neither.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Womp womp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Ah damn that’s still cool though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Womp womp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Wait is this real though? Because that’s pretty incredible.

lol you gotta change your email preferences. I don’t let them send me shit.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨respect dandelions!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Interesting but it’s important to remember that Europeans and their plants have been in the Americas for over 500 years now, which is plenty of time for oral traditions to develop. I’m not saying it’s untrue but I’d be curious to see what the genetic evidence says, since that would be a verifiable way to confirm. But in my experience dandelions grow almost exclusively in human developments, so it would be pretty surprising if they were native here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨respect dandelions!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Wait, what? Expand on this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unfortunately, this is science too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Make sure you publish that shit somehow so the next person doesn’t waste their time on the same experiment.

AKA bedstraw. Known for being used as bedstraw back in the day.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On trees...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Well there are certain features needed for a plant to get that big. So those features had to evolve independently each time which is a bit interesting. Wood is the famous example.
