But that's not a burner phone, that's an off phone.

If you abstain from voting for the "lesser of two evils", you make things more difficult for that candidate and easier for the other.
Lemmy happens to be a more left-leaning bunch so often this means hurting Harris and helping Trump. The same post would be reversed if posted on Truth Social.
Unfortunately, the US election system is a 2-party system. Protest votes do nothing to change that.
Thanks, seitan.
Because 1) There's not enough land on the planet, and 2) A big fossil fuel company has a hard time pointing to a specific tree and saying "that one, that's the plant that's halfheartedly absorbing my carbon so I can keep polluting"
CCS is putting lipstick on the fossil fuel hogs - they'll keep it in the news as part of their quest to dodge regulation.
You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn't do it all out of the box.
You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don't want from sites you visit frequently.
ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.
I know little about Proton Pass, but how confident are you they don't also used a proprietary SDK with their open source apps?
The harm side comes in multiple forms:
Harm to the animals; by removing their nutrient dense food source, and feeding them sugar water in its place, impacting colony health
Harm to the ecosystem; by mass producing honey bees we are choking out other pollinators, and the selective breeding for honey bees prioritizes output and makes colonies more susceptible to disease and collapse.
Even if you feel like the bees we're farming lead a good life, that life comes at a cost of other species - we are choosing a winner in the food web in a way that could be done less harmful for similar end result (i.e., plant sugars / syrups). Much of veganism is about harm reduction.
Knowing the importance of pollinators to our food supply, as a vegan I would probably not have much of an issue with pollinator farming if there goal was maintaining biodiversity, instead of min-maxing profit.
I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.
Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the "privilege" of having unlimited data.
Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.
I'm fairly certain its not generally vegan yet, but most "crab" in (cheap) sushi is most definitely not crab. I think it still has some fish in it, but it's teetering out there on the edge.
There are quiet a few "buttery" things, like Ritz crackers, Pillsbury crescent rolls / flaky layers, and most movie theater "butter" popcorn that are vegan.
This is entirely the point of a cap and trade system. Let the market duke it out over the best path to zero, ratcheting down the amount of credits on the market, so everyone can decide whether to focus on reducing or removing.
Fresh tomatoes from a garden, or if you have a good local farmer slinging heirloom tomatoes are the best.
Canned tomatoes are really close to this, and being shelf stable are pretty incredible because you can make delicious sauces any time.
The "fresh" tomatoes that look like what you get on a burger at a fast food joint, or the Roma tomatoes that come sliced into wedges on that side salad at the diner you have literally never seen anyone eat are infinitely worse than canned tomatoes and honestly should be banned from using the word "tomatoes"
Feels like those ones should be forced to market themselves as "tumatos" or "tomato-like fruit"
As Hurricane Milton barrels toward Florida communities still recovering from Helene, many Waffle House locations along the Gulf Coast, including those in Tampa, Cape Coral and St. Petersburg, have closed in preparation.
On the climate crisis, housing and more, politicians avoid clarity because it demands action
Our leaders may prefer complexity because it means they can defer taking action – but doing something about emissions reduction or slow wage growth is actually not that complex
Nah, if he does away with elections I'll mail him a postcard that says "I vote for Jill Stein" - that'll leave him quivering in his boots and solve everything.
You know who is implementing RCV? Jill Stein.
No she's not - she's a physician, not a legislator. She's not implementing anything except (hopefully) health care for her patients. She's promising to make RCV a political priority, but even if elected, the president doesn't write the laws.
And that even if is doing some heavy lifting, because it's impossible for her to get enough votes (50.01%, because a plurality goes to the legislators to decide) to win.
What she can do, is syphon enough votes from from Harris to hand the country back to Trump (who I promise you will not solve the problem of genocide in Palestine), which is why the RNC and hostile foreign powers love to prop her up
Maybe it does, but not in a "we're going to fix this" kind of way, but in a "we're going to hand the keys to the castle over to the self-proclaimed dictator who may try to abolish elections entirely" kind of way.
If that's what you want, just vote for Trump, don't play around with this third party BS.
Voting for Jill Stein somehow constitutes a revolution?
Which is real fucking rich after the debate where he pretended to be in favor of providing more resources for people wanting to start a family - the exact thing you would strip away if you stopped funding Planned Parenthood.
I'd find the people falling for this grift comically dumb if we weren't headed full steam ahead into an election that could be decided by just a handful of ignorant rubes.
A climate modeling downscaling method developed by MIT scientists leverages a machine-learning technique called adversarial learning to produce simulations faster and at finer resolutions, making them relevant to use on local levels for assessing risks of extreme weather.
Interesting application of machine learning to actually reduce computational intensity for once...
