You can easily buy memberships for channels, which gives more money than premium. In fact, most memberships for channels I frequent are $0.99 a month, so you can definitely afford to support 10-15 of them for the same price as premium.
That’s great that it’s a good deal for you, but it doesn’t change the fact that google took features that were free to use and locked them behind a paywall. So by default it’s a bad deal on that front alone.
Except if you want to support creators and ensure they get all the money there’s far better ways that aren’t paying for adblocking lmao.
YouTube makes more money than ever, they are being greedy AF.
Ah yes, let’s defend Google for not raising the price of features that were free to begin with like listening with screen off and background listening? Not really sure how much lower the bar can get here
IDK why people are downvoting. I could see it being decent for YT Music but for YT Premium you’re literally paying for features free software can do for free. So it’s not really a good deal by any metric.
Yep, it’s faster and it shows more posts than Memmy does for me. Logged in on the same account Memmy shows less posts from across the fediverse for whatever reason. Voyager shows everything I see on the desktop version of Lemmy.
Also a native app version with haptics and notifications is in the works for Voyager if that’s your kind of thing.
The biggest problem is that even if far left politicians get elected locally, it’ll be years before they get into positions where can enact the changes we actually need to stave off the worst effects of the climate catastrophe.
By that point it’ll have been too late for a long, long time. We need people who will act now and they don’t exist.
lol for real? Just look at the 2016 and 2020 elections. our two party system will never allow for far left politicians to be elected. The DNC will ensure that only those who are beholden to their corporate overlords get on the ballot.
Corporate democrats aren’t going to make the sacrifices needed to stave off the worst of climate change, they have reelections to worry about.
We’d need to roll back so many modern comforts in order to actually make progress in making sure we don’t destroy the planet and no one is lining up to be the boogie man who takes AC away from millions.
I hate to say it, but most people will only care when climate change personally affects them, just like COVID. Until then it’s heads in the sand all around.
*for about 2 years until the next reformat lol
lol it’s the opposite for me. many people use terminal all day every day and run Linux VMs if necessary.
Both! It can absorb it on the surface through atmospheric diffusion and through photosynthesis from both algae and phytoplankton
Sure. Essentially what happens is the ocean absorbs much of the CO2 that’s released by us. If you’ve ever heard the term “ocean acidification” that’s what causes it.
Water and the oceans change on a much more gradual scale than the atmosphere, so it takes decades for the CO2 to be released back into the air. For example, if you bring a pot of water to an open flame it still takes time for the water to reach the temperature to boil, it’s not instantaneous.
The ocean is far more massive than our atmosphere. It’ll take time for the changes to take effect, especially a noticeable one on our end. But if you take a look at the ph levels of the oceans over the last century it becomes abundantly clear we’re messing things up big time.
Too bad there’s a lag time of about 40 years on emissions. We’re only feeling the effects of what was emitted in the early 80s. Imagine how bad it’ll be in 20 years time.
Not Elon, that’s for goddamn sure. The dude randomly unplugged and moved entire racks of servers which caused massive downtime and glitchiness on Twitter.
It’s also extremely obvious he has done 0 actual tech work since the 90’s based off of the way he talks about coding. Also allegedly he had no idea how to run a Python script lmao
