I personally think it will take a complete shift in human mentality. One that will only come about via artistic movements, whether that be music, painting, film, or even propaganda posters.

IMO, art is the most important factor for bring about such a massive cultural shift. Kind of like how art in the Renaissance caused people to view life more scientifically and logically instead of based purely of faith.

Similarly, art from the the hippie movement in the 70s promoted peace and love instead of competitiveness, war and destruction.

Reddit has the same issue. People will post an article in like 6, somewhat related subreddits and the feed would be quite repetitive.

Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

I mean … It’s not shrinking though. It’s still increasing, just at a slower rate.

So the cancer would still be growing, just not as fast. It’s certainly not a remission, as you mentioned.

How many companies need to lie about following environmental regulations until we try a different approach to protecting the environment?

When VW lied about their vehicles emissions, people were shocked. Then Toyota admitted to doing the same. And I’m sure there are many more companies that haven’t been caught yet.

I’m hoping to be fully self-hosted by then.

For now… Do you really think they’re immune to enshitification if they become more popular?

Pretty much all of them 😂😭

Does that make Excel the operating system? Or is it the firmware/BIOS

That’s probably cause the userbase was flooded with bots to make up the difference

Hydroponics, when combined with indoor, vertical farming, is the reason that the Netherlands are one of Europe largest exporters of food. Even though they’re one of the countries with the least amount of farmland.

It still probably will. It uses significantly less water than traditional farming methods. That will be a huge factor in the coming years

Copper wires are expensive. And you need to house those wires in aluminum pipes. That’s a lot of metal that you no longer need to buy. Especially considering how many light switches in our homes.

Add in the fact that donations can also be funneled into political campaign funds… And you get one America.

They just slightly increase their budget for legal fines…

It incentivises stupidity, and controversial opinions, which gets more views and makes the “influencer” money.

Tbf, I send out emails at the end of the day, right before I leave. I don’t expect an immediate answer though. It just takes me that long to motivate myself to write that 4 line email I’ve been procrastinating all day.

I bet age, weight, and height were probably bigger factors than the voice. Also larger people probably have a lower voice.

One example would be when people move around in large crowds. Their behavior can be misspelled by following fluid dynamics equations. It’s as if thousands of people share a consciousness that they don’t understand/notice.

Taoism teaches us that the it true consciousness is universal. We are essentially waves of energy, all bound together/connected by empty space. So we share a consciousness that can be tapped into his meditation and being in the moment.
