It looks so shit cause they've already nuked themselves to planetary death. And because of climate change and rising sea level. Also ecosystem degradation and subsequent soil erosion. I've heard you need to prevent these to keep Earth beautiful. Just for the aesthetics. Think about the astronauts, what if they had to look at an ugly Earth?
And it is different with solar panels than with oil & gas. If China stops exporting the panels today, well, the ones we bought will continue working for decades. If oil and gas stop flowing, we will run out of them in months, if not weeks.
Yes! But if the others would also not buy the weapons!
(May sound unrealistic, but there were deals like that in the history. Tough, but likely the only realistic pacifist way is through collaboration, not self-imposed disarmament.)
I do invest in stocks. I had to restarted last year, since I could no longer bare the heritage of my stupid past self having an account on eToro. So it was easy to make the move to non-US and mainly European (or EU-allied) options.
I live in Sweden now, and the trading app Avanza has a lot of diverse fonds with European focus. They have nice breakdowns of funds into companies, countries, percent of investment that goes to "questionable" industries and to sustainable development goals-related industries/practices, sustainability scores, etc. They also show statistics. and US-focused funds have not been close to the best performing ones in recent years (Eastern EU, Iberia, gold/silver). Maybe you can find something similar?
I generally agree and find this remark important. What is more, many modern people do the opposite - they take care of their pension, get a good one, but are left lonely and alienated in their old age, with no friends nor passions. Often divorced and with kids who don't really want to see their grumpy old boomer parents.
However, I would suggest precaution. It is likely, even if not preferable, that you will get old in a money-driven society. Also, you don't want to rely on you friends for (more or less) basic material needs, especially if they work their asses off to get this extra money - the potential for conflict should be apparent.
Having said that, there are financial alternatives to stocks. You can, e.g., invest in peer-to-peer loans, e.g. ones investing in renewable energy (see Trine or Enerfip). This keeps you a bit further away from big bussiness, which might be good both for your consience, and your wallet.
Also, getting away from renters, be it landlords or cloudlords, is great from financial independence.
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know about the status of slrpnk.net ? It seems to have been down for a few days now...
Yeah, the comment about censoring Nazi stuff was dumb. But @lime@feddit.nu has a point. The legal part is true. They do risk shutting down if they accept anti-Israeli content.
I am not an expert in German law, but I would expect that criticizing particular actions, policies, and politicians within Israel should be fine. I don't know the details, I do somehow understand the mods at feddit.org being cautious, they likely overdo it.
We could also argue whether they should abide to the law. But the good thing with fedi is that we have plenty of instances hosted elsewhere and not subject to the law, so maybe they are the best place to expose Israeli crimes. This is exactly the reason not to defed them.
One more reason on the long list of reasons to ditch fossil fuels ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ditch Uber for Bolt. They're European and pay the drivers a bit better

Well, we actually produce our wind turbines - and most wind turbines outside of China (https://sopuli.xyz/post/30659580).

Comparing R and RStudio to Israel and USA is mean. But meme still funny.
One more out of many, many reasons to vote Tidöavtalet out in September...

XDDDD NSFW I almost chocked on my suppressed giggles
Yeah, with Reverso you can see how the word has been translated in different context, super useful if you actually want to learn.
And their general translator is also good for longer texts. I've been using DeepL for that, though, and haven't made a proper comparison.

Even an ironic AI slop?
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. (BTW As I read it, it should be Tuesday evening, or later)

It feels like most of the Fediverse is in Schengen Area. Then hexbear and lemmy.ml are like Russia and Belarus.
I like that they make servers somewhere with like 99% carbon-free electricity and low water stress.
Is that big, small moderate?
Is this SEO? Or some old-style SEO-like thingy?
