@blogdiva the lengths you have to go to just to convince someone to do something which is in their interests

@LoganFive counterpoint: middle-managerial roles

@mhoye worth bearing in mind that this is only half the story! A huge amount of energy usage is not electrical, areas of industry where fossil fuels are ingrained. To win this, we need to focus on industrial electrification as well as renewables roll-out

@Geri tbh I think the whole ideology around vesting massive governmental power in a single person is utterly insane, whether they're elected or not

@KeithWM@mastodon.social @royaards@newsie.social if I remember correctly the spain-morrocco border is pretty heavily militarised

@thebeeguy fun read! Out of interest, what separates a queen bee from a regular female bee, biologically speaking?

@mattkenworthy ah yes, the mañana method

@GlasWolf @penwing agreed, it's downright slimy. It seems as though the BBC editorial board has been largely captured by the same powers taking over other news media

@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social something something Ronald Reagan

@farah@beige.party an echo chamber is only a problem when it seriously disconnects a person from what the outside world is like. People who live their entire lives on social media naturally think that social media echo chambers are a problem - and they would be, for them. In the same way that having a friend who agrees with you on most stuff isn't a problem, a social media echo space isn't a problem for healthy people who don't experience the world primarily through social media.

@MostlyHarmless@thecanadian.social No, that's far too sensible. Must be the vaccines or something

@mattmay@mstdn.social does the FIFA peace prize mean nothing anymore?

@Tutanota @noybeu thanks for the heads up. Here's how to do it on mobile:

• Navigate to Privacy Centre. On Facebook this will be under "settings and privacy". On Instagram this will be under "settings and activity"->"more info and support".

• In the privacy centre, search for "more detailed information about meta's generative AI models" and select it.

• Scroll down to "Your right to object", open and click "Learn more and submit requests here" which open the objection form.

• Do note that this form asks for yet more personal information about you, rather than just linking your objection with your account :/

@alatartheblue @Tutanota @noybeu yup, it's pretty scummy. I'd imagine it only covers whatsapp if a person has linked their meta account to it (I haven't)

@donni@mastodon.social think I'll have another sandwich

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social I feel very conflicted/sad about reflect orbital. In a sane world not powered by greed, it would be such an incredibly cool and useful technology if managed carefully and responsibly. But unfortunately the world we live in has to ruin absolutely everything.
