"can be" is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

You keep seeing them but they aren't visible?

People need to hire vehicles occasionally rather than buy more polluting vehicles against some rare edge case

Except people don't plug in their hybrids and run them on fossil fuels. Hybrids are yet another way the FF industry keeps itself going while pretending things are being fixed

I got some of those Chipolo trackers shown in the photo. So far I'm pretty disappointed. Based on the locations being reported, I'm pretty sure my phone is the only one in my city working on the Find my Device system, and even that is intermittent. For example, I've left my bike, which has a Chipolo tracker hidden on it, in public places such as a busy train station. After two days on the station platform - with goodness knows how many Android phones passing by - the bike is still showing as being at home in my garage. Like, it didn't even get logged on my own phone as I cycled to the station and left the bike and tracker there. The system really isn't up to speed yet

I can interact with them just fine in the inbox and in the browser. But in Sync on the post, the number of replies is shown to be 4, while the comment section states that no...

I've just tested this and it didn't work. I think this issue, of posts saying there is 1 comment when there are none, is some sort of Lemmy-wide issue. It drives me crazy, as it's impossible to know whether posts have a comment or not without looking at each individually.

It's not just Sync, I find. I've had this issue with other Lemmy apps yoo

Thanks. I've never blocked anyone, so it won't be that. Could be the other thing

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites ( www.theverge.com )

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...
