I 100% agree with you that private planes are a huge issue, and totally separate from public airline travel. We’d also probably agree that government subsidy of airlines is a problem with a political rather than civic solution (tax cuts, bailouts, public spending on airports). On the personal, if you don’t believe your plane ticket has any direct economic impact on the airline, and the future of the route you’re flying then sure, it’s debatable, who knows? Probably not even airline execs. But another, better reason to not fly is cultural: this deeply unsustainable activity is currently completely socially normalised, and denormalising it seems like a critical part of the solution to me.

I’ve seen ~20 person “hammocks”, they’re basically cargo nets

“To be able to set up a branded surveillance paywall around something that should be a free public service”

I’m a bit surprised you’re surprised, it’s got “master race” in the name. At best it’s too soon to be cracking uncritical jokes about the Nazis, at worst it’s a deliberate dogwhistle. Another depressing search to do on that sub is find the times people begged for it to be changed.

Hot take: all roads with this many lanes should be in tunnels, under buildings where appropriate, this is a great start 🙏

At least this means folks can focus on bridging XMPP<->Matrix, instead of having to support another flavour of JSON soup too…

Lack of even curtains is wild

Be kind to yourself for what you do manage, look for any ways you can make things easier for yourself. Can you keep your toothbrush, and a bottle of water and something to spit into, near where you sleep, if you don’t usually get to the bathroom before sleeping? Or if you do make it there, could you get out your toothbrush and toothpaste in advance, when you’ve got more energy, so there’s not so many steps when you’re in there when you’re tired? Do you have mouthwash, as a quick fix if you’re too shattered for brushing and flossing?

On flossing, I couldn’t motivate to floss my whole life, same as you, waste of time - I wasn’t getting cavities, and when I flossed my gums would bleed and when I didn’t they didn’t, so it felt totally counterintuitive.

Since I got a filling a couple of years ago I’ve been trying to find something that works, before I need more.

I’d seen the disposable single use picks with a piece of floss, but I couldn’t feel goodabout that much plastic waste, and it was still too hard to reach back teeth when I tried a couple.

Then I got a kit like this, it was the equivalent of about $4:

Between the two different sizes, the whole process is closer to 2 minutes va closer to 10 with floss (I’m sure both would be quicker with practice), I’ve seen blood a lot less, there’s a satisfying amount of gunk that comes out even after brushing well, and I tell myself (hopefully accurately) that any time I manage to use them, even if it’s only once a week, is a favour to myself vs before, when literally the only times those places got regularly cleaned was at the dentist.

That showed up for me too, it might still work for new tweets if you follow the account?

Reddit/Lemmy bridge would be AWESOME, though in b4 an arms race with Reddit devs to stop it working 😶

Seed your torrents til they hit a “ratio” (how much you’ve downloaded to how much you’ve shared to other people) of at least 1, fuck the copyright cops, practice actually existing digital communism

I haven’t heard anything that he said that wasn’t said by someone less antisemitic, so I don’t feel very motivated to read him

If they’re both on the same network, Snapdrop is pretty good https://snapdrop.net/

There’s an android app but it works fine in a browser.

Terrible but I love it 😄

Sorry to be unhelpful, but it depends what you’re into 😅 I’ve seen people recommend https://merveilles.town, https://social.coop, https://pixie.town recently

I recently found birdsite live which lets you follow twitter accounts from masto https://lemmygrad.ml/post/141836

1. Join Mastodon
2. Use birdsite.live to follow anyone who’s still stuck on Twitter https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive

When I first joined mastodon, I was on mastodon.social - I wasn’t used to twitter enough for mastodon to feel familiar, having to research and pick an instance seemed like an extra stress, and I appreciated having a “default” option.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lemmy.ml stays relatively big for a while, but I do see a lot of new instances starting and I’m optimistic the network will become more diverse.
