I was excited to see this article written on the verge but then I read it. Seems like they are only interested in what the fediverse can do now that Threads is getting in and sticking their foot in the door. It’s likely they needed Meta as a corporation to validate federation as something with real potential. We need to be highly critical about the entities who just see this as another way to make money off our data

This makes no sense to me. Did they provide a reason for choosing Discord of all things? What was wrong with making announcements on Lemmy? Why wouldn’t they choose to make announcements in another federated format in addition and not instead of lemmy? Like, I’m not super tech savvy but I’m sure they could set up an RSS-like feed to send out alerts? IDK

I wish people would realize that humans only got to where we are because we are a COMMUNAL species. We developed complex language and tool usage BECAUSE we work together. Being “off the grid” is usually isolationist and therefore extremely dangerous. We need community in order to develop and manage the resources we need to survive.

I just like the way gravel looks but you’re right. Mulch may be the smarter option.

I’m actually open to ground cover options as long as it will be low maintenance. I fight gravel would be the end all be all. And I like the way it looks

I thought it was owned by loreal, and I thought that wasn’t owned by anything else.

what is this supposed to mean?

I hate that this is true, but if someone has chosen to switch and they can afford to do so, than they should. They just shouldn’t think that that’s where their power starts and ends. Real change doesn’t come from our wallets.

CeraVe carries a moisturizing/hydrating cleanser in liquid and bar form that I think you will like. It feels creamy and doesn’t dry out the skin like other cleansers.

I have sensitive inflammation-prone skin and must have a low-level degree on dermatology at this point LOL. I like using CreaVe products since they are a good price and have good simple ingredient lists. My dermatologist approves of these products too, which is nice. If you can spend a little extra, you can also try La Roche Posay’s hydrating cleaser too. Very nice quality products.

old leadership of the union had sketchy connections. doesn’t have anything to do with the workers today and I’d hope no one is persuaded against supporting the strike due to that stuff. Here’s a good article from a trusted source that’s been reporting on this consistently. https://therealnews.com/teamsters-union-freight-contract-truckers

Your breakfasts are so healthy compared to the American breakfast. The fish looks delicious!

It’s possible that the products you are using don’t work well together and are flaking once dry. I think this happens when one product is negatively charged and the other is positively charged. This is why some people prefer to use products from the same line since they are often designed to work well together.

It’s hard to give specific advice without knowing what your hair is like in it’s natural state. Is your frizz caused by humidity or do you think the frizz is caused by scrunching your hair and the products not holding your hair well enough?

DC is gorgeous and so walkable/bike-friendly. Amazing food, people are nice, architecture is great. How could anyone dismiss DC?

What?

I think these meme is making fun at his some people see Zuck, not actually implying that he is cool

This is the way! Make extra food and freeze it. Some things do better than others but it’s worth exploring this option

A lot of people in the US don’t trust the water, which is strange because you would think that would make people act when a city actually does lose their local water safety but…

I am American and I love bubbly waters of all kinds. Sodas taste nice for the first few sips but the flavor loses its appeal quickly and I find them all way too sweet. But seltzers? I can drink them all day.

Your second recommendation won’t work for everyone. For me, when I don’t have the time or energy to cook I am more likely to order unhealthy food or get take out. It helped me a lot to have easy fast healthy options at home. Frozen veggies can be thrown in the oven and then dusted with a really good spice mix. Sandwich with good whole grain bread and lean meats. Once I learned to expect at least 2 “I give up” nights a week, I was able to finally lose a few pounds.
