Science Memes@mander.xyz•We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.
93·2 days agoWhile it might be technically true, it’s missing a whole bunch of steps in the middle for it to be a practicality.
As I said in my comment:
But no one wants to do that.
And about this:
And that was just off of the top of my head.
Beef is the major factor in the amazon, by a large margin, as in my original comment. Palm Oil is not a significant part in Brazil, nor real state. Mineral is mainly in Roraima, but not as big as beef, because it’s based on small operations, there are a lot of sources on this for gold mining and the local Yanomami indigenous population that fights agains this (as this is done on their land).

Science Memes@mander.xyz•We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.
313·2 days agoProducing beef is the most inefficient way to produce food, in both use of space and water, and energy. We don’t need to impose things on people if humanity reduces its beef consumption.
If we cut beef consumption by half, literally oligarchs would not have an economic reason to deforest the Amazon, because of the price drops. But no one wants to do that.
Developing nations have proven to increase their carbon footprints over time, e.g. China, so the fact that they’re the fastest growing populations on earth is a serious issue
You’re conflating a lot of words, gives an example for China, while Chinas population is not growing even (or will start to diminish on some years), associating different things into the same sentence is hard to pick what exactly you’re talking about, China or Africa (the last place where population growth is happening at large beyond the 2.1 fertility rate).

485·2 days agoIt’s not the growth of ethanol (maize) and animal feed (soybeans) producing crops on the last 30 years, highly fucking inefficient and produced in the worst way possible, not even that pasture uses A LOT more land than agriculture while being a lot less energy dense, both using a lot more water than producing direct food, it’s the poors.
Edit: And also, beef is the major cause for deforestation too:

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Motorola contains spyware - GrapheneOS censored it
42·5 days agoThis is true, Motorola devices send really weird info to motpaks.com and motpks.com. Can’t uninstall the PAKS application. That’s why I use my LineageOS Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s.
Edit: some stuff from the app:

Linux@programming.dev•The future of AI in Ubuntu [Except it's Blockchains instead of AI]

Linux@programming.dev•The future of AI in Ubuntu [Except it's Blockchains instead of AI]
191·8 days agoExactly.
Computers are means of production, just now that they’re advancing, like they did with all other industries.
The capitalists are taking control on what they think is theirs, this machine is only useful to give money to them, and the code we write to build it is now being taken control by these LLMs, to destroy our power over what we build. If this situation change, to them taking every bit of control by the LLMs being what is advertised to everyone, the workers and people that use everything that’s built by or for computers will just be these factory workers of before. A LLM don’t say no, it does what who controls it says, on our computers or on any computer.
Edit 2: Just like with the factories, instead of building on what we think is the best way, the LLMs build it for us, a machine for us to just throw things at it. This is easier to control than a senior dev that doesn’t like that what he builds, and how he builds it, bombs people.
I’m not against completely open models (training data and weights), just that these corporate and capitalist models are the total control over the means of
productioncomputation.Edit: And Canonical and Red Hat are companies, like any other, and participate actively on this.
Hobsbawm in the age of revolutions talk about this change, with the scientific and industrial revolutions, just like now with the “tech” revolution and now the LLMs.

Linux@programming.dev•The future of AI in Ubuntu [Except it's Blockchains instead of AI]
691·8 days agoAt each and every step of this idiotic “we will put LLMs in everything”, I’m becoming more of a luddite.
My pc is working fine with artix and xfce on x11 (not that garbage xlibre), even DoT is working with stubby, why the hell do I need this shit?
Today the server goes systemdless too.
Sorry for the rant.
There are some kittygram front-ends, like irelephant (the link from the post on their instance).
Kittygram works on libredirect too, to automatically redirect to a privacy friendly front-end on reddit, quora, instagram, imgur, etc.
Edit: Link for libredirect

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you quit nicotine, did you get mood swings after 2 or 3 months?
1·13 days agoI managed to do some harm reduction before quitting (gradually turning down nicotine concentration, that kind of stuff), it helped a lot, so I only got cravings for a week or two too.
Now there are some of these side effects.

Oh, and there were cases when IGG released games with malware in them a long time ago, so be warned.
