Jentu , to world in Biden calls for 'immediate ceasefire' in Gaza

It’s an easy decision to make if you aren’t the one tied to the tracks. Palestinian Americans are losing their families and flipping that lever will neither bring them back nor make the situation better. Not only that, but flipping the lever without any real change of action from the DNC just means they can just trust their base to overlook genocide again and again in perpetuity as long as republicans remain the worse choice (which will be always).

Perhaps we should work to make sure no one is on the tracks instead of pulling the lever?

Jentu , to lemmyshitpost in They really appreciate it

This isn’t nearly subtle enough to be funny. Just call a doner a gyro and call a gyro a doner.

Jentu , to technology in Gemini is racist

What a terrible time for me to try to tell friends about how cool Gemini is

Jentu , to funny in unusable mouse

Still better than the Mighty Mouse.

And while we’re at it, the razer deathadder v2 x hyperspeed is hot garbage and disconnects so often in 2.4g mode, I just went back to a wired mouse.

Jentu , to news in Biden campaign decision to join TikTok raises national security concerns

I used to work for a company that pushed a lot of TikTok content- most of it is filmed on a phone, then the footage is sent to an editorial team to edit on a computer, then sent to marketing to post on their dedicated socials phone (and oftentimes a great deal of effort is made into making it look like it was all shot, edited, and uploaded from one device to look more “genuine”). It’s very likely that if someone tracked the location of the account that posted White House content, it would never move out of a single office. Exporting a compressed video, as far as I’m aware, strips the original metadata from the device- and if not, there are definitely ways to strip metadata in the post production process.

lol imagine driving fast in DC and not being stuck in traffic.

If transportation is necessary, find ways to mitigate emissions as best as possible. If emissions are unavoidable, use the thing with least emissions (small-tired lightweight vehicles) until you research a solution to a tire material that isn’t harmful (which is being worked on I think). Busses mitigate a dozen or two cars. Local rail mitigates a few busses and a few hundred cars. Essentially, personal vehicles should be small and lightweight, and essential mass transit or city services should be large enough to serve an entire area.

I’m not sure if a study exists for it, but I’d assume walking produces more microplastics/km than bicycling because of how soft shoe rubber is and how scrubby the action is. Who knows. There is a study I saw that said that walking produces more CO2 per km than cycling, but I’m not sure if this is parallel to microplastic emissions.

The logic will make sense if you think that tailpipe emissions are so litte, it’s almost not worth considering in comparison to tire emissions. So the next step is to say “so how do we limit the microplastics in the air and in the ground on a necessary part of transportation”- the answer is to make it smaller and lighter. And if you want to go distances that you can’t get to by bike, that’s where public transportation comes in.

But in the comparison of tailpipe emissions (0.02 mg/km) vs tire emissions (36mg/km), I know which one I’m more worried about.

Nick Molden of Emissions Analytics seems to think that the heavier the vehicle, the worse the wear on tires seems to be (though it greatly depends on driving style and torque). That’d probably mean heavy EVs and SUVs are the worst for this.

Not that bicycles are completely clean- but there’s probably a time in the future to worry about bicycle microplastics- after the cars have been phased out.

Jentu , to lemmyshitpost in All my girls know the real source of wisdom

I’d give a Gould if I could.

Breathing in Micro-rubber/micro-plastics from disintegrating car tires isn’t fixed at all by electrification.

I can also hear ICE cars approach from behind when I’m cycling, but that isn’t the case with electric vehicles (which might be using “autopilot” and can’t see me on the road). I’m not sure if that whirring sound is present outside of low speeds, but I certainly can’t hear it with wind crossing my ears. Sometimes tire noise is audible, but not always.

On the other hand, ICE drivers are more likely to intentionally try to hit me soooo

Jentu , to news in Economists say the labor market is strong — but job seekers don't share that confidence. Why getting a job feels impossible right now

A company I used to work for (digital advertising) would buy fake Facebook likes and followers and it seemed to work well for them with regards to getting a ton of investors. That is, until Facebook made changes that pretty much stopped all profit from the platform.

Jentu , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Why is TikTok seen as privacy invading and bad, but Facebook is fine?

Haven’t seen this mentioned, but Meta hired marketing consultants to present to the government how dangerous TikTok was just so their Facebook/IG reels or whatever they are called can take their place. This spawned a ton of news articles and opinion pieces about the government talking about this new dangerous TikTok thing and how bad it is. Also, it was very clear that an anti TikTok campaign was happening on Reddit like a year ago, so the marketing didn’t stop with presenting things to the government.

And I’m not saying it isn’t a breach of privacy. I also use Google maps too, so I’m not too terribly concerned with it. But it does just seem like a marketing smear campaign centralized around the facade of xenophobia and “think of the children”

I think the issue with this question is the fact that you asked it on a decentralized platform. If you asked this same thing on a centralized social media platform, you’ll definitely get far more pro-Facebook and anti-TikTok comments and less “uh…both are bad CHECK PLEASE”

Jentu , to aboringdystopia in Alamo Drafthouse blames ‘nationwide’ theater outage on Sony projector fail

Also interesting that Sony makes more money selling insurance and banking in Japan than they do with their music globally.
