Not declaring pronouns doesn't mean you're cis. Could just be enby* and accepting of all pronouns

Did anyone express interest in making the platform more secure? The fact that so much data can be sent without e2ee (and some data can't at all be e2ee) is a big blocker for a lot of users looking for an actually secure messenger for their org

So "My Name [any/any]"?

I've always wondered how to do that without offending folks

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

I did. Saved up for years and then finally pulled the trigger.

It broke after about a week of use and took them about a year to give me a partial refund.

Wow, looks like there is profit to be made in scamming

Just plant based. The protein part doesn't matter

My point is that there's no shortage of protein available in plants.

Yes, but you only need to worry about it if you're a body builder. You can meet your daily minimum needs stupid easy if you just eat a variety of food without any of the items you listed.

Its important to dispell the myth.

Highly recommend the book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

Should be required reading in all the rich countries that give these loans to poor countries.

Canadians who have lost their sense of smell say it's misunderstood, undervalued — and deserves more attention ( www.cbc.ca )

For millennia, the sense of smell has been widely undervalued — ranked far below vision by the likes of Immanuel Kant and Sigmund Freud. In 2021, a survey in the journal Brain Sciences found that people consistently ranked smell below vision and hearing — and even below commercial products. One quarter of college students...

Is there any military that actually properly convicts their own soldiers for harm they caused to foreign actors in violation of international law?

I mean, how does this presentation align with the USAID mission of bringing profit to US loan sharks who "invest" in poor countries?

“Actively silencing discussion of Palestinian lives and the ongoing global health disaster is dehumanizing,” Smith wrote in a resignation letter to Power, “not only to the people of Gaza, but to the people of the United States who deserve to know the extent to which we are paying for and supporting crimes against Palestinians.”

“What happened to me sends a very clear signal to staff: We don’t talk about Gaza,” Smith told The Intercept.

Espionage: In seemingly the first case of its kind, the US has charged a Chinese national with using a drone to photograph a shipyard where the US Navy was assembling nuclear submarines ( www.wired.com )

The United States Department of Justice is quietly prosecuting a novel Espionage Act case involving a drone, a Chinese national, and classified nuclear submarines....

The only problem I see is that the US is assembling nuclear submarines.

What's being done to stop them?

An oligopoly is driving up grocery prices. What can we do? ( www.nationalobserver.com )

In 2023, a shocking one out of every five people in Canada were food insecure — defined as having a lack of access to food, or concern over lack of food access. Severe food insecurity — when people miss meals and sometimes go days without food — rose by 50 per cent....

Surprised that a country that started as a settler colonial project continues to act as a settler colonial project?

People no longer read books?

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

There are lots of respected and credible people on substack. Mind the author, not the host.

Well, true on the physical copy. I love my audio books and e-ink reader.

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

Great! Exactly what's needed.

The only question is: is it enough? Well, and, what is the target increase in losses for next year?

Carbon is captured by planting trees.

But you can't expect that to help without also stopping drilling for fossil fuels.

Is the article really just 2 sentences long !?

The only class of people that are criminals is poor people, who have to resort to doing crime to feed their families.

So basicly they're saying "our job is to hurt poor people"

I doubt it's their choice. Probably the prosecution is afraid they'll loose jurisdiction if they disembark

Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men ( www.researchgate.net )

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

Its a city. All delivered by cargo bicycle

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

That's literally how most able bodied folks live in cities. Busses work fine for folks in wheelchairs.

Maybe you should visit a city and see how deliveries work there. This isn't the 1990s.

I mean, all they have to do is stop the occupation, apologize, and commit to funding the rebuilding of Palestine and paying reparations for their crimes...then we'll stop BDS

@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

idk, I think the majority of US Jews under 30 oppose the genocide while the majority of US Jews over 30 are blindfolded Zionists.

I think we're seeing a paradigm shift. The last Nakba wasn't live-streamed.

I have hope for the US joining BDS as the boomers die off in the coming decades.

They'll just bomb the peace keepers like they've been doing.

They aren't firing indiscriminately. They are intentionally targeting civilians, journalists, doctors, and children.

Do they give me free drugs in exchange? Which ones?
