I don't think that really holds up in a realistic comparison. BEVs are better for the environment. Just not as good as walking, cycling, and mass transit. All of these supply chain analysis commentary about BEVs fail to do an apples to apples lifetime comparison with ICE vehicles. Battery technology and battery recycling will continue to advance as BEV become more mainstream. Battery technology also has significant wider impacts and implications that aren't strictly limited to vehicles.

The oil industry alone causes tremendous environmental devastation simply extracting oil - not to mention the transportation problem. Large scale raw material extraction is never pretty no matter what the final product is.

For the people that trust Firefox over Brave, because Brave is Chromium based and therefore has a relationship with Google - how do you feel about the fact that an overwhelming amount of Mozilla funding is from Google?

1400 is a masterpiece. It’s a shame that the sequels went for this 3D sims styled gameplay. I don’t want to control the whole family. I want to control one member of the family.

How does this compare with Carrot?

Why do you think that?

A password reset probably should invalidate all previous JWT tokens.

It'll come back, but with automation.

If it's cheaper to build locally with automation and minimal US based labor then it is to build overseas and ship then they will bring manufacturing back.

The party needs to figure out what they actually stand for and focus on that. The Republicans have distinct factions but the conflicts between those factions are somewhat in the details. The factions in the Democratic party are wildly different and in direct opposition sometimes. The Democratic party has Socialists, Pacifists, and Environmentalist in the same tent as Corporatists and war hawks. Some of these factions just have zero common ground.

A sketchy instance operator isn’t really a solid defense against implementation of better privacy features in the source code.

Why should someone who has doxed someone get away with it by deleting their account?

Doxxing is not illegal in many places - the US included. Cyberstalking and harassment may be illegal, depending on location. That's beside the point, but this is an extremely specific example.

Ultimately users should, in my opinion, be in control of their data. Tildes, for example, preserves deleted comments for (I think) 30 days and then permanently removes them. It seems like that approach is a compromise that would work for your situation while still respecting privacy long term.

Deleted comments remain on the server but hidden to non-admins, the username remains visible

This is a negative behavior by Lemmy, in my opinion. Deleted comments should be purged after some time. Tildes does the same thing - I think with 30 days?

Deleted account usernames remain visible too

These should be replaced with some random string of characters or something like DeleteUser or something.

Anything remains visible on federated servers!

This is just a concession of federation.

When you delete your account, media does not get deleted on any server

This is an issue, too, in my opinion.

Lemmy is newish software. I assume everyone operates in the worst-case scenario too - but that doesn't mean we should code with the worst-case scenario for privacy as some goal or built-in concession.
