I really like Mastodon. The whole federated nature of it guarantees that the content you want to see won’t be censored or hidden by the algorithm.

It will only get better as more people use it.

But we don’t live directly on top of the ground; we live 5 or 6 feet above the ground, and thus air temperature is much more important to understanding heat impacts to human health and well-being.

Here’s an article talking about the types of temperature measurements. If LST is high, odds are air temperature will be high to, and air temp is much more relevant to our life as a human, whether we’re going to die, and easy to compare to how hot it is locally.

They’re one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they’re constantly making major redesigns for no reason.

I feel like there should be a major distinction between caching remote content and hosting that content yourself. Does Cloudflare get in trouble every time the FBI seizes a site that used Cloudflare routing, CDN, or caching? Not as far as I’m aware.

They’d have to change the law Biden personally made that prevents student loans from being removed in bankruptcy proceedings.

That would also fuck millions of American’s credit and lead to all kinds of problems in the economy. Letting everyone go bankrupt is not an acceptable government solution, they need to do something better.

Yeah, it’s confusing and unhelpful. People should standardize on reporting air temperature unless there’s a very specific and compelling reason not to.

I would argue though that the borrowers were not dumb. An entire generation of people told them “you have to do whatever it takes to go to college so you can get a good job” - that was a lie, and the people who told the lie should be the ones punished. The kids who trusted their parents, teachers, and government about this didn’t do anything wrong.

I don’t understand how lemmy world has removed them, aren’t those all communities on different servers? How is this our problem?

what did these protests change so far?

They pushed people to other platforms.

Because then someone else would be able to control and censor their content. Really every business should make their own server to ensure that they’re the ones fully in control of their content - this is the entire point of federation.
