Wild memories! As a child I had a PC, but no internet connection and played that song quite often!

Hang / Hand pan and Hurdy Gurdy!

Building muscles is more effective than cardio to burn fat. The more you have, the more calories you burn passively just by having them. Kind of like compounding interest. Cardio is healthy and good, but will ‘only’ burn fat during and right after the workout.

Yes, I think women face more inquality than men. And queer people face even more discrimination than women. But also cis-men that don’t fit well into the traditional gender roles, can face discrimation. I do not object the ideology behind femism. I just don’t like the term.

I’m not OP, but many people associate feminism with strengthening women specifically. If you look up the definition it actually does focus gender equality, no matter what gender you have. So from my perspective the term isn’t really intuitive.

Another thing I don’t like about the definition (at least the one on Wikipedia) is…

Feminism holds the position that modern societies are patriarchal—they prioritize the male point of view—and that women are treated unjustly in these societies.

While I sure get what they mean, I personally don’t like to classify one’s point of view as ‘male’. I agree that there are far more toxic men that seek more and more power. But i don’t dislike such people because they are men. I’d dislike their behavior just as much if they were women, non-binaries or any other gender. Classifying a character trait male IMHO is similar to calling a skirt or dress ‘women clothes’.

So yes, to me personally, anti-sexism / anti-discrimination or even better pro-equality are more appealing.

Some time ago I tried InvoiceNinja as an invoicing and expense management tool and kind of liked it. It also has some CRM functionalities which I never used myself but maybe it could be a fit for you. It’s available as paid SaaS or free self-hosted.

Lemmy loves artists who have their income threatened by AI because AI can make what they make at a substantially lower cost with an acceptable quality in a fraction of the time.

AI depends on being trained on the artistic works of others, essentially intellectual and artistic property theft, so that you can make an image of a fat anime JD Vance. Calling it plagiarism is a bit far, but it edges so hard that it leaks onto the balls and could cum with a soft breeze.

While I mostly agree with all your arguments, I think the ‘intellectual property’ part - from my perspective - is a bit ambivalent on Lemmy. When someone uses an AI that is trained on pirated art to create a meme, that’s seen as a sin. Meanwhile, using regular artists’ or photographers’ work in memes without paying the author is really common. More or less every news article comes with a link to Archive.is to bypass paywalls and there are also special communities subject to (digital) piracy which are far more polular than AI content.

While I get why people have an anti-AI-sentiment, I don’t get at all why people downvote this thread. If someone is asking a legitimate question in an open and polite way, why downvote the question?

I know about some disadvantages of dams but I’m not sure if - in many regions - we have much of an alternative to buffer water over different seasons. We used to have huge glaciers in the mountains which retained snow in winter and released water in summer. But as more and more glaciers disappear, we have to come up with artificial measures to store water for agriculture, drinking water etc.

If we then can harvest electricity on top, that’s a nice byproduct from my perspective.

You should specify what kind of trip you are looking for. If you like mountains I’d prefer Spain (Picos de Europa, Pyrenees) and France (Alps, Pyrenees) over Portugal.

I believe there’s a pretty low chance of any meltdowns or nuclear events, due to so many fail-safes.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. But wouldn’t it still be a serious safety hazard for the local population through contaminated air/water?

And if no radioactive material is set free, isn’t it still available to keep producing nuclear weapons? According to a German article Iran is estimated to already have sufficient Uranium for 15 nuclear bombs.

In my simple mind that means you either have to directly destroy that material (and potentially expose millions of people to it) or if you just destroy the production facilities, you can only slow down the enrichment of further material without impacting the current capabilities. Do I oversee something?

If you bomb a facility that is working with radioactive material that can be used to produce a nuclear bomb, isn’t there a pretty high risk of causing a meltdown? And if so isn’t that pretty similar to Israel dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran themselves?

Furthermore, this (probably) only works if you setup the printer in an at least similar way. You can re-level the bed, tighten or loosen any belts, change the nozzle (wear level, material, diameter), change slicer settings, use an entirely different slicer, change the room temperature, humidity, use different filaments, shake/vibrate the printer during the process etc.

At least I find it very unlikely that a 3D printer’s fingerprint wouldn’t be impacted by any of these.

It’s not free but if you charge your account with 10€ you get 100 days of flatrate for more or less all international landlines. After these 100 days or calls on mobile you pay 1-3 cents per minute.

FreeVoipDeal is super cheap, allows you to use an already existing own number and can be used with any client that supports the SIP protocol.

In a way that it allows me to salvage any burnt bread by simply unroasting it? Or a time machine that will take me back to the dinosaurs but I’ll arrive dead and crispy?

I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.
