Republicans Are at War With College Towns. And They’re Losing.
  • The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.

    I've been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn't be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).

  • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

  • For the fourth day in a row, Earth has broken or equalled its hottest average temperature record
  • I'm not going to argue against anything you've said, I'm not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

    I also think its irrelevant.

    In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) "a catastrophe fuck-ton" of gasses into the atmosphere. We've tipped over the tipping point.

  • Bank of Canada to raise rates 25 basis points on July 12, possibly the last: Reuters poll | Reuters
  • Yeah. And it's having no noticeable effect on inflation ... it's almost like they are turning the wrong dial. The people hurting most with these interest rate rises are those who can least afford it and consequently have least effect on inflation.

  • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • Is the poster's IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

    If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

  • [META] I spoke to the mod of this community
  • Honestly I think that is an excellent idea, and at some point someone (like football365) would probably pay a lot of money to take over it (yaay!). Theres a classic Catch-22 - lemmy doesn't have the critical mass to bother spinning up a dedicated server, but if it's not done now/soon it will be too late. I'd love to help, but don't have time.

  • Canada’s Oil-Sands Miners Want to Flush Oceans of Wastewater Downstream
  • Flush the water out is really the only option, the longer it sits in tailings ponds the more likely it is to have an uncontrolled spill. We absolutely need someone we can trust to define 'clean' though -- and that's not the government nor the mining companies; and we need someone we can trust to monitor it and confirm it is 'clean'.

  • Third party Reddit apps just got canned.
  • I've been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren't for Rif and Sync, I don't think I would have become a Reddit user. I'm desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

  • This blame game over Canadian wildfire smoke has got to stop
  • I've not seen, or perhaps not paid attention to, any blame game. This is exactly what all the modeling for climate change predicts, and it's gonna get worse. So if people want to point fingers, the list of countries and industries that have produced most CHG gases ever, and currently, is easily available online.
