Also consider the logic of how those "breadsticks?" seem to be sliced - they're cut in strips but also someone cut off 2/3 of a strip from 2 of them and one is sideways. Like a chaotic 4 year old was in charge of slicing.
Reddit has somewhere north of 100 million MAU. Lemmy has somewhere in the realm of 50k MAU, or 0.05% of Reddit. Even factoring in PieFed, etc., we're talking about a drop in the bucket for Reddit.
A lot of people came to Lemmy, by Lemmy standards, but almost nobody left Reddit, by Reddit standards. The case can be made that our 0.05% are the the best 0.05% of Reddit, but it's still teeny tiny. 99.9% of users just bent over and shouted "Yes Spez!"
Edit: this article includes active user estimates each quarter, and the numbers continually seem to be going up.
Food emissions are the emissions associated with producing the foods people eat.
The bulk of those emissions are associated with land use change, and in the case of most meats, growing the food needed to feed the animals that later get eaten.
This also includes things like emissions from wasted food decomposing, animal emissions, fertilizer and water production, and to a much lesser degree, the transportation, storage, and cooking of the food.
Certain foods have greater impacts, and the choices consumers make drive those upstream impacts.
Unfortunately that's not how the other 20% works. Cleaning up the grid and eliminating wasteful energy are both important things to do but don't always overlap in terms of outcomes.
When dealing with grids with lots of renewable energy, that first 80% is the easiest because you aren't nearly as concerned with seasonal variations in availability.
Eliminating waste doesnt change the fact that you might see a week or more of clouds and low winds in the winter making it hard (not impossible, but exponentially more expensive) to close the gap.
And eliminating wasteful energy use in times of relative excess availability doesnt change the fact that you may still need to power your fridge or a heater in the winter.
Someone needs to come up with a quit smoking vape service, where each refill cartridge comes with a little less nicotine, and then starts coming with progressively more disgusting flavors.
This is a good start but honestly only distinguishing between "Apps" and "Games" leaves a lot of room for bad actors.
A calculator that uses 1GB RAM would be considered compliant based on the numbers rolling out in Feb. 2027.
It really feels like Google should be providing more transparency to the user - apps should have a call-out on their Play Store page that says, e.g., "typical RAM usage 0.6 GB, higher than 96% of similar apps."
Performance metrics should be public and transparent so users can make informed choices.
One of the benefits of the big data hoarding companies is they have the resources and DGAF energy to harvest data from every phone using their system in order to get very accurate real time data on traffic conditions.
It takes a lot more effort to do this in a way that respects user privacy, and a lot of infrastructure to provide those updates in real time. A lot to ask from small dev teams working on free apps.
If I were a Fable dev, I would be dragging my feet so hard getting this thing out the door because you know MicroSlop™ already had Copilot draft the layoff emails for release day.
I tried the original, and Fable 3 which came with my Xbox 360 forever ago, and neither managed to impress me enough to keep playing. Curious if this one will be any different.
I'm really excited about the potential of this partnership, but have been burned before by device manufacturers partnering with ROM developers only to realize they can't enshittify the ROMs like their base OS and abandoning the deal.
This is a step forward for GOS and a chance for Motorola to stand out as a potential champion for user privacy, but only time will tell if they can actually maintain that stance.
I want to support this partnership but I really need more proof that this isn't just Motorola desperately grasping at straws to stay relevant.
I tend to hold onto them until they literally stop functioning or stop receiving critical updates, but at some point you've gotta purge that junk drawer :D

Even if 90% of Reddit's MAUs are bots, Lemmy would still be <1% of Reddit's human userbase.
I post a lot of environmental content, because I don't just want to read on repeat about the shitty thing Donald Trump said today.
I want to see more content on the fediverse in general. If I'm not willing to feed the machine, how can I expect others to?

Aaaand, whose surveillance tech allowed for such abuses to persist at a national scale??
And 99% returned to posting, belly-up, like nothing happened.

Probably hard to do.

CoMaps does support Android Auto, but only if you download it from the Play Store.

I just licked my screen and can definitively say that tastes very different from vanilla.

No, don't fuck it, that won't help. Just stop buying beef.
As long as someone is keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't accidentally shoot anybody.
Don't go to a casino expecting to make money.
Better yet, just don't go to a casino.
Best I can do is perptual drought.
