I’m not sure if that is the right photo somehow, or these people are not so worried about the water cannon. The people in the front are wearing swimwear, and the people in the back seem to be cheering for it to go to them.

Generally water cannons hit so hard they knock people off their feet, or wake people atleast run away.

Amazing thanks for the recommendations and the summaries. Added the ones I couldn’t get to my wish list.

I’ll be sure to checkout Little Brother as well, sounds interesting even more so with the authors dislike of audible.

Amazing thank you, seems like a good place for me to start

This took me a while to digest, but thanks for the thorough answer.

I agree that silly subsidies should be abolished and climate friendly subsidies should be enacted worldwide. However looking from the American lens you are talking in the change seems almost impossible. Democracy worldwide has been corrupted America being the largest example of this with “lobbyists”. How are these uneducated, time poor, malnutritioned people meant to make any change? Maybe I just have my doom and gloom face on today.

In Australia we can barely stop our government from cutting down ancient forests to make woodchips. Let alone the 3 new coal mines they opened, and this is the climate concious party.

Looking at all that I feel making personal changes is the only way I can personally stay motivated. At least I am doing what I can in the face of this seemingly impossible task.

Nice signs, very well done.

Where does the QR code go to? Can’t get them to work on my phone

That beautiful, simple, and works well. Cheers for the share

Worth noting while checking out Aves libre it seems the developer has renamed it to just Aves and continued updating.

New to f-droid so if I have this wrong let me know

Sexy weather app. Thanks for the follow up comment. No more ads when I want to check the weather.

I see this argument a lot about choosing between saving the planet and eating and affording rent. Of course that person is barely surviving they aren’t making choices for their food. The same can not be said for the middle class and up.

To instantly dismiss any argument that you as a person don’t have any responsibility in this, no matter how small, is ludicrous. We should all be doing all we can. Not blaming corporations but then still buying their products, eating their fast food, etc. Blame a corporation and then do something about it, like avoiding nestle products even if it means going without, especially for non essential items.

Worth noting my youtube premium subscription price hasn’t changed since I signed up in 2017.

If I cancel this deal I have and go to sign up again, or change to a family plan then the price goes up.

I’m not sure if this is the norm, or a special part of the deal I got but just a bit of extra info

But who is buying the goods and services these corporations produce? Mysterious figures in the night, or humans?

Greenwashing is a result of a change in consumer desire, not 100% what was wanted but a change non the less. If the people buying goods actually think before they buy and don’t just look at the lowest priced item then change will happen.

Usually I have come across this with poorly done DLCs. They offer some bonus item in game.

So if you buy the game with all the DLC in a sale then when you start the game you have all this extra stuff you wouldn’t normally have. I can’t recall the game but there was one game where I actively had to not use the DLC items otherwise the first part of the was way too easy and bordering on boring.

After so many hours how is to start a new town? Going through the same motions again, more or less. Or do you pick a totally different setup each time to keep it fresh, but by now you surely have done most starts a few times.

My brain respons with a never-ending stream of negative stuff to say as a response to any question. Then I have to try and find something half positive to say.

Much easier just to hide myself away during these times and not have to deal with that.

I use my phone for quick notes on the go, or creating lists of information I want to be able to re order and edit.

I use pen and paper mainly for brain dumps. Getting a stream of thoughts out of my head and on to paper. I find trying to use a phone for this will lead to some distraction and the thought will go before I capture all of the info.

I also use pen and paper when studying a topic, especially for a test, I find the simple of act of writing the information down is enough to cement it in my brain, even if I never go back and read those notes.

Good to know thanks for the info. I’ll have to have a bit of a dig myself.

I’m curious what licensing issues you would run into with obsidian?

That’s a side affect, but those retail stores could also move out to where the houses are with some legal changes.

It would be a nice suprise but I doubt corporate really cares about Jane and Joe’s coffee shop, or the local Hugo Boss

Who would have though pirates would try and pirate hardware? Guess there is no honour amongst pirates.

It is a very similar system in Australia. Must employees have their tax taken out when they are paid.

You can then claim deductions on certain things, and also make sure if you have multiple jobs you paid the correct tax.

Most people get some money back every year
