A community named like “Ask Lemmy” would probably be most useful to get questions answered, like [email protected] or [email protected]
There probably aren’t enough people with historian questions to have enough questions to get people checking a community every day/week, so questions on that or any other specific topic would probably get seen by more people by just making a post in an “Ask Lemmy” community. However, [email protected] exists with 10 posts since 28 June 2023! I expected to not find such a community or for it to have significantly fewer posts.
You can also search specifically for communities, comments, users, etc.: https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=Ask&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
There is also [email protected] and other “what is” communities, which would be more useful for that specific type of question.
I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven’t found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.
I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven’t put more effort into reducing my impact recently.
If you’re not trying to change other people’s behavior, what are you doing?
Finding sources you can trust is helpful. For example, I trust the ArchWiki and POSIX.1-2017, and I follow instructions I find there, which helps me accomplish things without having to spend time thinking about the rationale of those instructions (since the instructions have probably been independently reviewed many times, and if there was something wrong with them I’d probably have heard about that). It would probably also be helpful to be able to trust instructions at https://libretube.dev/ for similar reasons.
I don’t think keeping my thoughts to myself is a good idea, since I don’t want other people to disrupt my life (unintentionally or intentionally), and giving notice about how I want to spend my life is helpful.
I do think my comments are helpful (and that helpfulness is relevant). If I didn’t think that I wouldn’t be commenting.
The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:
“I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything though:
While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.
I don’t think you answered my questions.
I started discussing your likes and dislikes, as an Internet forum is for conversation. How you choose to engage in that conversation is your choice, but it doesn’t mean a conversation isn’t happening.
The reason replied to you is that I wanted to rebut statements that I consider to be incorrect, and to save other people from taking time to do that and from seeing your comment go unanswered. I don’t really care about your replies other than to accomplish those goals. You may perceive that as being disingenuous (though I suspect your behavior is more related to the fact I have disagreements with you, or some preexisting inclination), but I don’t really care about that.
Assumptions do change people’s behavior, probably in many significant ways every day: “it doesn’t have to be fact to cause people to act”. Perhaps you should spend more time expressing your opinions in a compelling way so that people have more knowledge, and therefore don’t need to hold as many assumptions.
Those URLs came from about:addons
. I think it’s important to provide as much provenance as I can to help people get programs, so I didn’t edit the URL Firefox provided to me.
I haven’t been stopped from watching YouTube videos for several months now, despite the fact I use different devices at different times. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adnauseam/reviews/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/reviews/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dearrow/reviews/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link
I did have problems using YouTube many months ago, but I tried to watch a few videos each day and after a few days things started working normally again.
Do you like a compiled app differently from source code used to generate it? Your previous reply made it seem that is true.
Am I incorrect in thinking that a compiled app can be assumed FOSS when the text “License: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later” is on the page I use to install it, along with a link to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html
You don’t like a compiled app differently from source code due to it not being FOSS. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say you would prefer the compilation process to be more easily verifiable for you.
I expect this discussion is regarding apps like LibreTube, the license of which is “GNU General Public License v3.0 or later” and is available free of charge.
The GNU General Public License grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge:
The GNU General Public License can be applied to programs:
An app (that is compiled) is a program:
An application (program), especially a small one designed for a mobile device.
Therefore, a compiled app with the GNU General Public License applied is FOSS.
they’re funding 37 wars.
Do you have a source for this? I only see 28 global conflicts and 16 wars involving the United States marked as “Ongoing conflict” or “Another result”.

I don’t know about today, but in the past New Jersey required that “expiration dates” be stamped on bottled water: https://nj1015.com/does-bottled-water-expire-nj-was-the-only-state-that-thought-so/
Even if similar markings are not required by law everywhere in the USA, food manufacturers are probably afraid of getting sued due to violating local laws, or even international laws if the food is transported across borders, so it’s probably negligent to neglect printing them.
https://80000hours.org/ probably has information relevant to you, and they do have specific comments about IT roles, and many careers they talk about are related to computers in some way.
I believe Skiff would automatically start using end to end encryption when it was available, without any user needing to enable it for any specific email, using the Web Key Directory standard: https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/blob/1634bea9d2a66ef5804b68d18d4218e0b7a8b806/docs/email.md#openpgp-compatible-services
It’s not good for me that an email provider that supports that is undergoing dramatic changes, as an open standard that protects my privacy is more useful when it is used with more services.
