A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm —"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye—[2] but parody, burlesque, exaggeration,[3] juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing.

I think seahorse was being ironic/sarcastic

I think it was satire

Hopefully in a few years second hand framework parts will be a bit cheaper.

At the moment Microsoft's chrome book competitor device looks decently repairable: https://youtu.be/fVjjSqfp75g I am sure Linux will run on it at some point. But yeah it isn't upgradable in the way that the framework is

No sorry. But Ethereum will transition to proof of stake in June/July, we might get graphics cards then.

I like to use Lemmy though a browser on mobile, the interface is good (especially compared to reddit) but I think the buttons could be changed a bit to make it better.

I think it might improve the mobile UI to have all buttons at the bottom (sort of like in lemmur):

Buttons that I think would be useful at the bottom:

• Home (like in lemmur)
• Communities (like in lemmur)
• Search (like in lemmur)
• Profile (like in lemmur)
• Notifications
• Create post
• Sort

Are you going to wait until all hexbear features have been added to Lemmy before moving or do you think you will move over before that point? Any idea how long this will take?

Thanks for the contributions by the way!

Rather than acknowledging that climate change is caused by emissions which are largely done through energy production, transport in supply chains and industrial activities, i.e. systemic elements, he goes on to complain about how individuals, who have nothing to do with energy production or transport, are hypocrites.

Almost everyone in the countries surveyd use energy and transport. Infact the countries surveyd are the largest GHG emitters (historically and per capita). Why do you think industrial emissions happen? It's because individuals buy what companies sell.

If people (particularly in the countries surveyd):

1. continue to consume on this scale
2. refuse to support regulations that will force companies to emmit less

then GHG emissions (and environmental damage in general) will continue to remain high.

The solution to global warming is to wind down the fossil fuel industry to zero, which should be easy enough to understand. This is an act that will have a significant impact everywhere and we should focus on managing that change.

Ok, how are you going to do that without reducing consumption? We have been investing in green energy for decades and fossil fuel consumption continues to increase every single year:

I don't like the framing that it is 'industry' that is causing GHG emissions because it lets the actual individuals who are taking advantage of the system of the hook. These individuals are the shareholders who profit, but they are also the consumers who get ultra cheap goods because they don't give a fuck where it came from.

Here are the projects that NLnet supports. A lot of really cool ones, including Lemmy.

I'm sorry but I still disagree.

The article is quoting the world health organisation which is a global organisation. WHO is looking at data from the whole world, not just the US.

I would prefer not to change the title because:

1. It does include comments from WHO that are not specific to the US:

   The World Health Organization on Thursday pushed back against the consistent chatter that the ultra-transmissible omicron coronavirus is "mild," noting that the variant is causing a "tsunami of cases" that is "overwhelming health systems around the world."

2. The post title is the same as the article title.
