That entire context was missing in your post: you have parental controls activated aka you opted into scanning.

The post was presented as if your daughter just had a normal iPhone + not everybody uses an iPhone. You can’t expect people to know that the feature exists + that it’s activated on your daughters phone. I read daughter and thought she was an adult.

Please share your definition of socialism.

iPhones scan messages? So much for privacy…

Arabic heritage and in the US? I’d be concerned about getting a free trip to El Salvador. My butt would be clenched during any border crossing- which includes flying in or out of the country.

At this point, unless you’re ready to fight for your right to exist as a person in the Trumpian USA, moving out seems like a better option.

But this is said as somebody living in Europe. Maybe the US is actually great and you’ll be fine.

France? Don’t they hate Arabs? I’m assuming OP looks a bit Arabic due to their heritage. They would find a larger Arabic community, but if they have an Arabic sounding name, finding a job and housing, especially as a foreigner, might be difficult.

Debatable what “civilized” is, but I imagine most westerns consider themselves “civilized” and developing countries to be “uncivilized”. It has colonialist vibes and is not necessarily racist, but can be quite ignorant and prejudiced.

Christians invaded many countries and pretend to make them “civilized” but instead enslaved their people and treated them like animals. Pretty far from civil if you ask me. The US considers itself civilized yet it has a death penalty, just like Myanmar, Saudi Arabia and a bunch of other countries. Greece introduced a 6-day work-week which hasn’t been a thing in Europe since the industrial revolution, a time we would now consider quite uncivilized. Israel is currently committing genocide under the guise of self-protection and will not listen to reason, yet they probably consider themselves quite civilized.

It seems to me like “civilized” is a form elitism that can be quite close to racism, depending on who you talk to.

They like the warmth. It sends them to sleep.

I’ve seen it in Europe a few times. Sometimes children just want to be a menace and a leash is the only thing to keep them safe. Or so the parents say.

Maybe making a sports related instance could help with making it more attractive to the fans. Or ask your favorite sports team to create an instance forum.sparta.cz or something and it’s a lemmy instance.

Probably the Liverpool FC community is full of people who don’t even know the word privacy. They probably heard about it in a Malus ad and think it means buying an iPhone and installing Telegram.

The small scale of Lemmy’s active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the communities very important to me.

I have communities that I care about that aren’t on here too. It’s their loss if they don’t join the fediverse. If it takes them another few years of eating billionaires dicks to get tired of dickbreath, that’s on them.

Something about investing in bitcoin back in 2012.

Block em. I blocked nearly every community about USAian politics and my feed is now quite OK. Also block people who make everything political. There will still be enough out there to interact with, trust me. I’ve blocked swathes of people here and still find it entertaining. Also, do your best to contribute non-political content, it’ll help provide others something to comment on that isn’t political (and of course block those that try to turn it political).

Also, do create multiple accounts per activity. A political account, a non-political account, a gaming account, a botany account, a bird-watching account,… whatever your interests are, make an account for it and curate your content. I have multiple and this is probably my most political one. Others barely mention politics and aren’t connected to this one. Until lemmy or other fediverse software allows creating personas on the same account, this is the solution I find works best.

In other words, there is no real algorithm here that will secretly bubble up certain type of content depending on how you interacted with the platform. You more influence on your own experience than you know.

Pricks, quite simply. They know it’s wrong, but they don’t care. Society is filled with people like these and you can guess who they vote for.

Next time, film them, it seems like the only way people understand. No need to upload it to social media, just share it with the police and they’ll get the fine.

For PFAS that definitely isn’t true

In the new EPA study, experts added oxidizing substances to water contaminated with PFASs and heated the liquid above its critical temperature of 374 degrees Celsius at a pressure of more than 220 bars. During this process, the water becomes what is called supercritical: it is neither a gas nor a liquid. In this state, even water-repellent substances such as PFASs dissolve much more readily, and at the same time, the state accelerates chemical reactions.

Got an example?

Yes, but will they all be harmful?

Can the degraded chemicals withstand sustained exposure to 500C?

That made no sense at all. Do you think toxic water is 100 toxins or that when somebody is sick they become one big walking disease?

And “water can’t become irradiated” is a great take. So radioactive radiation has no effect on water whatsoever? “High energy particles don’t exist and they can’t hurt you🧠”

Based on this, 4 oz of cheese uses 450 liters of water.
https://foodprint.org/blog/dairy-water-footprint/

I always find those kinds of numbers difficult because they include rain water in that estimation.

For instance, water footprint data shows that the majority of water consumed for feed crops grown for U.S. dairy comes from rain and soil moisture (i.e., green water footprint), but as dairy and alfalfa production shift to Western states that are getting progressively drier, more irrigation is needed to grow those crops. This means a larger share of water withdrawn and consumed from streams, rivers and groundwater (i.e., blue water footprint).

What percentage of the 450 liters of water comes from those different sources? How impactful is a green water footprint vs a blue water footprint vs a gray water footprint? If the 120g of cheese were made from 100% blue water, that would definitely be problematic. But if it were 100% green water, that would most likely be less of an issue.

Next, you have to consider how the water comes into the calculation. Is it just considering the water for feed crops of the water that the cow itself consumes? And if it’s feed crops, the type is also important. Some feed is simply the byproduct of crops that are used for human consumption e.g maize only has maybe 10% of its biomass for human consumption. Would simply throwing away the other 90% be considered wasteful or useful? And how does that factor into the water calculation?

And a final point regarding feed, is what kind of feed it is and where it’s grown. Feed may not only be byproduct of human comestible crops but also crops that cannot be consumed by humans at all, and they can also grown in places where human comestible crops cannot be grown.

Now you have to compare that water for server farms. I have little knowledge thereof, but my guess is that they don’t wait for rain to cool their servers and it probably is more blue water than not. It maybe as entangled and complicated as the source of water for cheese, I don’t know.

My point is, it’s not an apples to apples comparison. Water consumption doesn’t always equal water consumption. To drive the point home, would you consider the water required to raise fish in a landlocked country the same as that of a coastal country?
