143·5 months agoThe actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.
The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.
And this is from march!!!
Wait until you find out the actual death toll is likely 200,000+ over the last 8 months.
The 37,000 number is only bodies that have been identified, cases of starvation and disease are also excluded.
Fast charging is 100% convenience for the end user and marketing material for the company. Fast charging is just dumping more electrons into a battery quicker than slow charging. I don’t think battery tech has adapted that much to be able to handle this so AFAIK we’re just normalising abusing our batteries. Did read an article that batteries that we’re slow charged, also discharged slower as well.
Gonna add on to this, most people are right in saying get a low amp charger(amps are the more important that volts afaik) 1A is easiest to source but did see a .5A one time. Don’t leave charging at 100% for long periods of time.
What is missing from the comments IMO is anyone talking about how you use your phone. Minimise screen time and bloated software that is always running/sending data. Lineage (or graphene OS since you’re on a pixel) with no google apps will prolong your battery. For now I’ve just got some banking apps, molly(signal fork), jerboa and slack on my phone. My 3000mAh battery from 2016 is now lasting over 24 hours instead of less than 8 hours when using mainstream social media apps.
141·8 months agoIt is an insult to a people suffering from a famine Americas ally has manufactured, to drop 1% of the needed aid(and kill people doing it) when you could stop the famine by letting the hundreds of truck in that are sitting on the border…
I’ve got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.
Signal is what I’m trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷
Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don’t think anyone I know uses.
Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I’d get from moving to an app.
Again back to minimalism I’d rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.
Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.
Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.
xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.
discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.
YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.
Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)
3·1 year agoGonna give you my honest two cents.
You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.
Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.
Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.
Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.
Do you mean the civilians at the festival that the IDF admitted to killing on the 6th?
2·1 year agoMy problem is not with inclusivity but with promoting uptake. If you are familiar with the grammar or phonetic sounds or some of the vocab, you are more likely to find that language easier to learn.
Both English and Esperanto share the same problems of universal languages that I mentioned. English does have the advantage of number of speakers but it is a mess of a language for people to have to learn.
Again to reiterate my counter to universal languages, why not learn and potentially help revive your local indigenous languages. In a world where universal translation exits on our phones everybody being able to speak the same language matters less.
Someone already said that either the created language takes from too few source languages and alienates speakers of languages with no common characteristics or takes from every language family and becomes a horrible mess that’s hard to speak for everyone.
So if a world language is a bad idea no matter what languages you use as a source, why not have Esperanto or something similar for Europe/English speaking world and then a different language for Asia, and another one for Africa. You’ve reduced the number of translators needed and left most people with a language close to their mother tongue. You could also break the suggested regions in to smaller sections eg give Germanic Europe a common Germanic language. West/south Europe get Esperanto, east Europe sets a common slavic language. You still get languages that don’t neatly fit like Hungarian but its better for most language learners than the last example.
Personally I’d not propose universal languages as a utopian idea and instead promote indigenous languages such as Catalonian, Breton, Irish and promote learning many languages in a post work society.
Palestinian is an ethnicity.
Gaza is a ghetto.
Israel is ethnic cleansing.
11·1 year agoNot starving millions of people right on their doorstep is not highest on their list of priorities?
It’s pretty easy to not cut off their power supply that they control.
It’s pretty easy to stop carpet bombing civilians (including the banned use of phosphorus weapons near densely populated areas which happened yesterday)
It’s pretty easy to not stop humanitarian aid.
It’s pretty easy to stop blockading them.
It’s pretty easy to stop killing them indiscriminately.
They just choose not to do the right thing.
There were two ‘Reigns of Terror,’ if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the ‘horrors’ of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break?
What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror–that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Mark Twain
You understand food has to come from somewhere and Israel controls the sea, the air and most of the land while bombing the fuck out of the people and infrastructure.
oh I’m sorry I can’t support Palestine because they won’t lie down and die
Imagine only supporting oppressed peoples when they don’t fight their oppressors.
If your support is conditional you are not supporting.
The death toll was frozen for weeks and 1.1 million people have been experiencing acute famine as well as the entire 2.3 million having no access to healthcare in the middle of an active genocide. The official estimates are incredibly low.
I accept the official death count but to ignore what they aren’t counting, which I’ve listed above also does a disservice to the realities on the ground.
