Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.

Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.

Iconoclast@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 75d (3 replies)

Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.

Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.

As long as you know that Finviz sells a story, and not the truth then that's good.

Lemmy (App). RSS otherwise. Websites suck for Daily checking

Scrollone@feddit.it · 3 pts · 75d

RSS are so underrated nowadays. They're the best way to keep up with all the news and the people you follow.

I still blame Google on the demise of the RSS feeds (when they killed Google Reader).

Be warned. It's a productivity sink. I had to block it because it was too distracting.

wunderground. Can filter down to the zip code to see the weather in your area, and it’s more accurate than most other sites (looking at you Apple weather).

My neighbor even has a small station in the system too. Very local.

Do you know if there's a way to change the scale to Celsius?

There’s a settings button at the top right to switch to C.

Oh wow I really need to try and sleep, that took way too lomg to find.

scytale@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 76d (1 reply)

Nah it IS a bit confusing, especially when you’re browsing on a phone. Took me a while to find the Hourly forecast tab when I first checked it on my phone. It’s much better on desktop.

unknown@piefed.social · 1 pts · 76d

It's still pretty good on mobile though, being able to get data from my local weather station as opposed to a general city average is incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing this.

Yep, it's accessible through the UI when you're viewing a community's feed, to the right of the sort type chooser.

Idk man, I know the methods can be a little math heavy for the uninitiated. But if you look up some statistics classes on you tube, it really helps with even non scientific stuff. It's probably the only math I haven't lost over the years.

!asklemmy@lemmy.world

Mostly the Fediverse instance I use for interacting with the Fediverse (Catodon, which I access through its web UI instead of using third-party client apps such as "Aria for Misskey"), alongside guest access (I have no Lemmy account anymore) to some non-MitM-ed Lemmy instances in order to read the threadiverse's global feed, copying the federated link whenever I want to interact with a thread/comment and pasting it into Catodon to comment from here.

Speaking of things outside the Fediverse, I'd mention one of the news outlets from the country I exist in (Globo G1) as well as Al Jazeera as a more international/worldwide news outlet (although my main source of news is Lemmy).

There are days in which I don't access anything online because I'm hyperfocused on some ongoing personal project... which is good because it makes me accustomed to a more Internet-less life...
