Yes, I thought it made more sense this way. Bit of a bad habit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ‘edited’ indicator on Lemmy.

Are you Australian or just that freaky?

I mean, it’s winter sometimes.

The graphic includes long pants as an option - when it’s cold enough to wear long pants, it’s definitely cold enough for long sleeves.

You people sleep in tshirts instead of longsleeves?

Probably contains “AI”, though.

Cannabis use prevalence is actually kind of low in the Netherlands, many european countries where it’s illegal have higher prevalences. Turns out, legalizing cannabis doesn’t turn everyone into a stoner.

You’d think Netherlands of all places would have data. Did the authorities just give up or what?

Fair. There are a lot of bands that usually have a completely different sound from their popular songs (which can be pretty disappointing when you like listening to albums).

‘pop rock’ seems appropriate.

The article says right there that only 1 in 3 people are doing that (in europe).

What strawman? I’m talking about my old phones in my drawer, and I’m certainly not the only one who does that.

The thing with that is that nobody can get (much) use out of my old phones, because I already use them until they’re broken or unreasonably old - when even aftermarket ROMs like LineageOS don’t get security updates anymore, it’s time to retire that phone, and I regularly use my phones beyond that point.

My last phone broke after about 1.5 years of me using it (and it was already a refurbished device), and my current relatively new-to-me phone only has 2 years of security updates left (also refurbished). I’m probably going to use it for longer than that if it doesn’t break, but that would definitely be a good time to get a new phone if money was no object and I didn’t give a shit about the environment.

The thing is, recycling is clearly better for the environment than having 3 unused old phones in your drawer.

Who isn’t? If the phone doesn’t break, it becomes unusably slow with any operating system that still receives security updates (if there are any, which is not a given). Also, I have my doubts on whether it’s actually possible to reliably delete all data from your old phone as a consumer.

/s, right? … right?

How do you do that, though? The rich and powerful aren’t going to suddenly start pouring their resources into progressive messaging, and there’s only so much you can do when you’re diametrically opposed to them.

One thing that would probably help a lot is more progressive rolemodels who actually go out proselyzetizing, i.e. a more direct progressive equivalent to the likes of Andrew Tate. Though IDK how to actually make that kind of thing big, the fascist tech bros who rule silicon valley will surely suppress it even if it was gaining some momentum.

Thanks, that definitely clears up what kind of stupidity is going on here.

Because China is a lot more powerful than either Korea.
