Olive oil?

You wouldn’t live long, but compared to the other options you’re listing…

The word “potentially” is doing a lot of work there.

In many cases of piracy, the result of not pirating the work would not have been more income for the rights holder, it would have been the person just not acquiring a copy of the work at all.

Yeah, I don’t know what Colorado’s laws are on this in general, but even if it’s technically legal it seems like a huge risk that someone is going to plausibly allege that given the specific facts denying them time off was race/religion/family status/… discrimination. It might be legal (don’t know), but it’s a stupid policy for a number of reasons.

Toronto, and the law I’m referring to is a city bylaw.

And a public good. They keep things cooler when it’s really hot out, keep things warmer when it’s really cool out, mildly improve air quality, reduces noise pollution, provide measurable mental health benefits, and so on.

Around here removing big trees is illegal, on your property or not. I’m a fan.

Open soil instead of pavement also helps reduce flooding during heavy rainfall since the ground absorbs water instead of just making it run off to somewhere else.

Needs an “allegedly”, apart from being a questionable source in the first place (as a random social media account, nothing against the person running it), the source you quoted makes it clear that they aren’t confident in their own source.

The real galaxy brain is you, a kbin user, posting a meme about kbin, on a lemmy magazine.

The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories… unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057

And that they haven’t been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging “right wingers” (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly “left wing” (though I don’t see a reference to that on the current site).

I can’t speak to Lemmy’s implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers “politics”), but there’s nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.

Loading threads here is… different… work than loading your feed in mastodon, it’s possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you’re just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).

What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?

It will change things too, not for reddit, but for competitors (like kbin).

A tiny site can only grow so fast, at some point things start breaking (both technically and as a community) and users stop joining, but as sites grow bigger they also gain the ability to grow faster.

The protest means that every possible alternative to reddit has been growing as fast as it can reasonably support. That’s probably not fast enough to hurt reddit this time, but next time it might be.
