So what is the answer?
Maybe push for laws - the purchase of a plastic bottle include 25 cents surcharge on the bottle.
Then you can toss the bottle in the street, and the homeless can scavenge for bottles and make a decent wage for a day’s work - and still there’s enough left over to deal with the plastic.
When 33% of the population agree that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ - what’s your take on that?
Should we assume that some very well balanced people believe that foreigners have poisonous blood?
So all the Caucasians must leave? How dumb are you?
I’m struggling here to avoid being offensive - but really, Americans often appear to me to be averaging subhuman intelligence.
Yesterday I was reading about Latino MAGA’s who just assume Trump isn’t talking about them…
If you don’t know then install it and find out. Back in early 2000 it was the single greatest advancement in browser technology brought by Opera.
Whilst I’d like to see some kind of revival, or even revolution, in the browser market here - it does look as if Mozilla are setting out a future business plan which simply does not include Firefox… and if Firefox dips below 2% it will be sidelined as an alternative browser no longer supported.

'nuff said.
Firefox will not force an update - but it will tell you to restart to continue AFTER it has been updated… learn to control your updates, don’t use Firefox as a Snap if that’s what’s going on.
For sure, as a teenager - interest in music switched from interest in music to finding music videos that got girls in 'em'.
I talked to a guy from Springfield - and he says personally he doesn’t think it will make any difference to him whichever one gets in, because right now it’s just talk.
So his idea basically is that whoever he votes for, he’d gonna get screwed over again… this is the decline of democracy and the rise of the post-truth politicians… in many ways, watching Trump is like watching Putin’s mill putting out news - all fake and contradictory news helping to convince that all news and politicians are fake.
I’d agree with this - for Trump, it’s basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he’s just a joker that talks crap… so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver… sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn’t say and expect that she’s hiding the fact that she’ll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette…
I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it’s not yet guaranteed.
First step to log in is to paste some URL - and https://lemmy.world/ doesn’t work for that… another hurdle to exclude anyone not advanced enough?
Ok, not a stupid question - but annoying to assume that only Google is relevant.
Also, annoying that you’ll assume that searching ‘instant rice’ will pull results from Lemmy. Even searching Lemmy for ‘instant rice’ brings zero results.
So I hope my answer will come up in your next search…
However, searching for ‘sending epub files to my kindle’ brings up quite a few… and down the list there, we see posts from 2022 in r/kindle, and entering reddit as an extra keyword pulls up more…
So really, we want to know if we search for something which should have results in Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world - and not only Lemmy, there are others - like BeeHaw) how long is it going to take before this gets picked up by SEARCH ENGINES (Let’s not say Google, or Reddit - these are bad habits unless there’s a specific need to specify).> instant rice
Oh, and Quora, and Google, and Meta, and Twitter.
Remember, do it in Firefox - not Chrome.
This is a little bit like saying ‘What does a pen do, apart from write?’
It also looks very cool - cool enough that even people don’t find things cute will actually change their normal ping to this JUST because it’s cute.
However, if you like pings you could also go with gping for a graph… but they’re all just bloat - better stick with fping, right? ;)
Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up… Stuff I had bookmarks for, but rarely visited lately…
Stuff from the ‘other’ place - useful fodder to consider ‘bridging’ or just ‘copy/pasting’ over in Fediverse :P
I added the Firefox extension, so if I visit Youtube - for example (open this in a PRIVATE window, not logged in) Insights from Ukraine and Russia then I can Easily add the RSS by searching in Inoreader.
Here’s Daily Dose of Internet
The beauty being that you can quickly go through all this stuff - great keyboard accessibility (90% covered with Shift J-K to go to the next/previous feed, Shift-X to toggle expansion of the folder, J - K to go (and mark read) the next/previous item (but you can ALWAYS view all articles in a thread)… all without visiting the sites.
Feedly and Inoreader are both awesome - and you can (and should regularly) export a list of your feeds as a backup/migration strategy.
Well, despite the difficulties translating to Federated platforms, I will certainly be working on alternative social platforms.
I no longer use Quora or Facebook…
I unsubscribed my ‘YouTube’ channels and added them as RSS feeds, so there’s no need for me to be signed in there to consume content from creators I follow.
I hope that a month or two with the Fediverse will allow me to understand it better. I’m sure that many Fediverse users will also remain on Reddit and be able to advise folks on what to do.
If anyone on, for example, r/firefox announced activity over here, I’d follow them here. So whatever the ‘bots’ say, I know what’s occurring in my corner.

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it’s much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don’t trust politicians, they don’t trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it’s not because of Trump, it’s a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying ‘I never heard of it, I never read it’ - he’s laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education… because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn’t.
He hates them, he hates women, he’s racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion… reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants’ rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data… radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American’s idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won’t have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he’s TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don’t take it seriously.
Basically, it’s the fascist’s playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
