I’m generally against the idea of planting as many trees as possible.
Trees are not very good carbon sinks because they decompose and burn. Also, there are also some ecological communities where adding trees makes the land a worse carbon sink.
Avoiding cutting down forests to build suburbs is something I can certainly get behind though.
In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.
I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.
I don’t see the connection between neurodivergence and phones
Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway
Snuggling – never. And this doesn’t apply only to men, it applies to women whom I don’t find attractive as well.
What about nonhuman animals? Do you dislike cuddly dogs?
Yes, so I can probably plan for it.

Good idea! I bet you could make good ad library by comparing the audio between episodes of the same podcast (to catch the ads read by the host) and between different podcasts (to catch the targeted ads inserted into a lot of podcasts)
I’m not suggesting static timestamps, but small audio files of the podcast about to enter, and just exited an ad.
The app could then search for the clips in the podcast to get the timestamp.
If there are copyright issues of sharing small clips, you can just save a hash of a clip, which will allow the app to find a match, but is not itself the Intelecual property of the podcaster; The hash cannot be turned back into the audio file. The hash would be smaller than the audio clip anyway, so sharing hashes would be better
Maybe if you could distribute audio files (or hashes of audio files) that mark the start and stop of ads, that would solve the problem.
I guess podcasters could combat this by inserting random noise into their audio files, but they probably wouldn’t do that.
The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it’s so easy to move from server to server is.
If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.
I think that lemmy could use more people.
I have, it’s surprisingly easy to eat only once a week. I lost a lot of weight, but then gained it back after I went back to eating every day.
Wow I thought you meant the 6502 computer, but it looks like that’s the original one made of logic gates and shift registers, right?
I’m not sure eating is normal for a large majority of people.
For example, about 3/4 of Americans are overweight
I would take “Public health care” to mean the government runs all healthcare services.
Single payer means public health insurance, and the absence private health insurance. From the perspective of a private (or public) hospital, there is one payer: the federal government.
Lemmy.ml is also the instance made by the lemmy devs
tutanota didn’t require a phone number, last I checked
If you’re doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you’re dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty
