I mean, comparing that to coal isn’t a very impressive feat. Nuclear power is very expensive, fission material is limited and sourced from dodgy countries, storage is difficult etc. The emissions are the only good thing about it. There are good alternatives to that. I guess using the existing ones until they need to be decommissioned is still a good idea though.
Dies. Wenn man einfach die YouTube App auf Steroide haben möchte, dann greift man zu ReVanced. Das funktioniert auch zuverlässig und muss eher selten aktualisiert werden. Hatte vor Jahren mal eines der Piped Dinger genutzt und fand die Erfahrung ziemlich kacke ehrlich gesagt. Das ist mittlerweile vielleicht besser geworden aber ich bin mehr als zufrieden. Keine Shorts, keine breaking news, kein sponsorgeblubber, keine Werbung etc.
Da gibt es leider richtig viele, die das machen. Die glauben ernsthaft, man würde damit die content creator unterstützen. Man muss sich das mal vorstellen. Da ist man schon das Produkt und dann zahlt man dafür auch noch. Wie dumm kann man sein? Wenn man jemanden unterstützen möchte, dann gerne per Patreon. Oder man kackt drauf und unterstützt niemanden, denn früher hat man aus Spaß Videos gemacht und online gestellt. Daraus sind grandiose Memes entstanden.
Show me the statistics of how many people got cancer from second hand smoke in outdoor areas. I’ll wait. Just make cigarettes fucking expensive, like in Australia. Make smokers pay more for health insurance. There’s so many good ways of handling the problem. Banning people from smoking outside is just fuel for all the fucking Nazis that would love to get rid of the EU. And it won’t change a fucking Thing. As if people would suddenly stop smoking outside when no one is around.
As much as I like the idea of getting rid of smoking altogether, this is a huge infringement on self-determination. Sure, go ahead and declare certain public areas as non-smoking zones. I’m absolutely fine with that. Even if it means that the entire inner city is such a zone. No one should have to inhale secondhand smoke. But if you’re somewhere where you don’t bother anyone, why should that be illegal?
Couldn’t they “convince” instance admins to include ads? Couldn’t they flood communities with influencers? Couldn’t they promote Lemmy apps that have ads?
You are severely underestimating the criminal energy and creativity of these corporations.
Edit: reddit turned to shit way before the platform itself was up for sale. No need to buy the platform, bots and influencers are enough.
