I'm just going to start not answering the phone unless it's a number in my contacts. If it's important they can leave me a message.

IIRC the content is on multiple. If there's a single user on lemmy.world subscribing to content from somewhere.else's foo community, then foo will be synced to lemmy.world and if somewhere.else is taken down it will remain on lemmy.world.

But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, it isn't just about servers going offline. If a single server does something bad, you can just switch to a different one and enjoy the same content you've been seeing.

That isn't relevant to the comment though.

It's not even about oil either - it's mainly about unregulated capitalism. We've created vast oceans of plastic junk because people are lazy and want the cheapest things in the world. I guess it really is a government by the people and for the people.

I'm in the process of trying to get rid of as much plastic from my life as possible. I hate this shit.

What's the difference between caching online data and "local first"?

It does work offline AFAIK. What does it not do that you want it to do?

I don't get it. Screw worms devouring animals alive is extremely painful, so we should eradicate them? The process of any animal eating another is basically always excruciating and fucked up.

We should give people tax breaks if they vote.

I was interested in the source for 38 here:

Using mild soap on well-seasoned cast-iron cookware will not damage the seasoning.[37] This is not because modern soaps are gentler than older soaps.[38]

It was just an article that said

Many sources explain that soap is OK because today’s dish soap (like our favorite from Mrs. Meyer's) is gentler than it used to be. That may be true, but it’s not really the point. Once your pan is well seasoned, a little dish soap isn’t going to make a difference.

Pretty sad excuse for a source. Not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Why is that not the point?

AFAIK the issue was soap used to contain lye which would destroy the seasoning. That's a huge difference from modern soap.

 

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.

If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

I know bike tires will lose pressure in colder seasons because the air temp causes the pressure to drop, but is the inverse true? Does bike tire pressure go up in summer due to heat?

If so, do I need to deflate the tires a bit in summer? Do bike tires ever explode because of a temperature change?

 

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.

Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.

I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.

 

Or is this just a coincidence? Any other elements with the symbol as the full word?
