In capitalism, creating problems keeps people employed.

If your shit’s maintained and running perfectly, it looks as if you’re not doing anything.

“As verbs the difference between sheared and shorn is that sheared is past tense of shear while shorn is past tense of shear.”

Thanks, internet, you’re very useful.

GPT-7 will have full-self-driving.
But that’s next year.

It seems to me like you are saying this from a point of privilege where you hve infinite choice and no regard for the cost.

By that logic, I should only eat what’s local, because everything else is certainly more emissions. If I live in a rural territory, where they only grow pigs and onions, that’s what I should eat to ‘reduce’ CO2? That’s just strictly false, and absolutely detrimental to your health.

People need a large variety of food for good nutrition and most rural certainly do not profuce such variety. If you live in a large city, “locally” produced stuff comes in from hundreds of miles, which have to be travelled somehow.

You can try your best as an individual to reduce your CO2, but that will only a miniscule amount of what makes the cogs turn in the economy. The only actually impactful, sweeping change is through regulation. Everything else is pretty much high-horsing and virtue signalling.

The best thing an individual can do to reduce emissions, is to vote accordingly.

I’m sorry, but this is just foolish and very naive.

Let me just buy some locally grown bananas, in the north… Or locally produced computer monitor…

It is totally up to the governments to regulate emissions, with regulations.

Now, WHAT governments are elected IS down to people, but unfortunately, caring about the environment is stil not a priority to prople (in part due to said governments being in the pockets of the biggest emission producers).

If I want a banana, I’ll get a banana. I will have no idea or information whether it’s shipped with the shittiest fuel burning ship, or an electric locomotive.

Now if the government regulated what fuel burning ships can enter the port, etc, etc, we’d have change. Fewer, more expensive bananas, of course (people will be unhappy about that), but at least the emissions would be reduced, with little to no change of the individuals’ habits.

A garbage social network run by garbage people using hate to spur comments and clicks!? Well that’s unheard of!

On a serious note, thanks for sharing this.

“her” ???

I mean there’s proof, I saw the admin’s post with links. I just don’t care to dig in this “drama” as you put it. .art admin I trust way more than the guy who fabricated some screenshots.

Believe who you want. It’s just I choose to believe the more trustworthy person. And no, I don’t want to “do my own research”, because I simply don’t know either of those people, or care about either of those instances.

In the end, their house, their rules. There’s nothing ridiculous about it.

1. That’s false.
2. Don’t need proof, the admin can use their own judgement. This is not a faderal trial. It seems that ~30k poeple on .art trusts the admin’s judgement.

He has been informed, and took no action. No jumps anywhere.

People say that this Eris person has posted some racist shit.

If they are allowed to be a racist shit on Firefish (even get boosted by admin, even though it’s an article, but an acknowledgement nevertheless), I can see how the .art admin can assume that it’s the wild west there.

If we’re stating opinions, I do not think that’s a ridiculous conclusion to make.

It’s not beef between two admins. Mastodon.art is strictly a “safes pace”, so the admin choses what’s safe.

Obviously, an instance admin having no issues with racism is a big fucking red flag about how they mod their instance.

In order to protect their instance and people on it, it’s safer to defederate, than count “strikes” and send warnings.

I’ve experienced communism first-hand. I don’t need some rando’s with marx pp opinion on it, nor do I need to “do my own research”.
I stand by what I said.

While I’m here:

• Nazis can fuck off.
• Commies can also fuck off.
• Fuck capitalism
• Cooperativism is the way.
