Lemmy seems to be the old nerdy internet of the 90s, prior to the enshittification

I fully agree. But websites should also be able to chose who can access them.

Das ist doch jedem bekannt.

Was aber wohl unwahr ist, sind die Geschmackszonen auf der Zunge. Ich kann mich auch noch erinnern, wie die Klasse in der Schule etwas ungläubig war, die Lehrerin das aber als Fakt durchgesetzt hat.

But… you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It’s a business.

As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can’t control their purchases, it isn’t the industry’s fault.

I’m fortunate to not enjoy popular culture in the first place.

And a lifestyle that doesn’t require cars seems incomprehensible to them.

It seems that when a dictator’s interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn’t cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.

I agree

I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

I’m absolutely not surprised.

Them and chemicals in general.

That actually makes a difference to me.

I think civil rights for minorities are super important.

I find marriage much less important. It’s essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That’s substantial)

Well, legal rights depend on the law. So when arguing about the law it’s silly to refer to legal rights. It’s like conservatives who want to keep pot banned because it’s illegal.

What do you think about a triangular marriage with three people?

I’m pro gay marriage, and merely attempted to reconstruct the opposing logic, and apparently failed halfway through.

Now, whats homophobic about this? The fact that in general to people of the same sex won’t reproduce? That seems about as outrageous as the thought that obesity is a medical condition.

I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don’t convice me.

The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don’t agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn’t an issue.

But to other people marriage is an envelope that’s supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn’t exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don’t think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?

And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?

The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.

No, i actually meant to be constructive. Nevermind

I just wanted to point out that we have choice. Though it seems redundant, because everyone who end up on Lemmy should know that

Well, then go to a nice community, perhaps even a different instance.

That decline is slower than I expected. It shows that more people stay than not

We live in a silly world. The Trial. Her facial implants. depps GFs age chart is close to diCaprio’s. Even Elon plays a role. On top of that there’s Trump, just like the Simpsons predicted
