Do you donate money? How, why, why not?
  • I donate small amounts to open source projects and content creators that .make stuff for everyone because I really believe it's a great way of fighting capitalism and many of the problems it's caused.

  • Homeless encampments have largely vanished from San Francisco. Is the city at a turning point?
  • Yeah I think that normally boils down to a choice of having condescending assholes run your life and force you to jump through endless difficult hoops while massively restricting your life where they take away everything that helps (including pets, relationships, etc) then when people don't want to put up with that the system washes its hands and says 'see, they want to he homeless!'

    It's like someone telling you that if you don't eat the chips they've pissed on you don't ever want to eat again.

    Sure there are people and groups that do want to live in a van or moving between worksites, friends and camps but generally they're not often counted as homeless because they have a postal address (family, friends, or work) through which they're registered - my brother would technically fall into this as he lives undocumented and illegally in a caravan behind his workplace but is legally registered at our parents, if he didn't have somewhere to register his bank account, etc then he'd be classed as homeless though that's verry different to being a 'rough sleeper'

    But yeah if the question asked was 'do you want a safe and comfortable place to sleep where you're allowed to live your own life' then you'll get a different response to 'would you like to go to a kind of prison but it's less safe, more annoying, and we're taking your dog away, your gf or friends can't come over, etc etc etc...'

  • Chipotle pilots new line of robots in California after $20 per hour wage.
  • Automation has evolved a huge amount since the 90s, probably more than the mobile.phone has. This sort of device has been common in food factories for quite a while now and is inevitably moving into first high-volume then after refinement canteen kitchens before slowly making its way into the home.

    It's a great thing if it does, the food industry is hugely wasteful especially when trying to lower overheads which also lowers quality and healthiness of diets. Multistage processing allows near to raw ingredients to be sourced locally and used as needed thus avoiding the need for chemical preservatives, pre-proceasing and all the transport logistics, added risk, and etc. Cheap food places could go back to the days of getting fresh produce delivered rather than bags of presliced and shaped meal components from a factory - that'd be huge amounts of plastic and oil use removed from our global consumption.

    Of course this installed device is probably just fairly basic pick and place using preshaped meal components but it's a step in the evolution of small-scale industrial kitchens which will eventually benefit us all.

  • Experts reveal link between heatwaves and dementia
  • If we're going to get into weird racism based on ethnic origin and geographic location then sorry but I'm out, I don't want people to think anything I said supports or agrees with the ideals of ethnic segregation which you seem to be preaching.

    I do not believe there is any scientific evidence or social trends which show white people can't live in the south or black people shouldn't live in North America and Europe, the agenda you have of keeping people sorted into restricted locations based on ethnicity is vile to me and disappointing to see on lemmy.

  • Portuguese court ruling condemns Ryanair for cabin bag charges
  • They've gone down massively, I save enough flying budget to the US with only a rucksack to allow me to eat out every night of my first week and that's just compared to inclusive old fashioned style tickets - which by the way are still the most common option. My whole holiday normally costs less than the ticket price did 25 years ago, plus I fly from the most local Airport to the most local to my accommodation which saves time and money.

    If you don't like us poors having options then sorry, you're welcome to pay considerably more for a shitty microwave meal and excess luggage you don't really need but I will be packing a sandwich, sitting a little uncomfortably, in whatever seat is given, using my phone instead of an in seat entertainment system, and not taking heaps of needless stuff.

    Personally I'd love if they introduced flexible tickets where I book and they fit me on whatever flight has room within a window of a few days, and I'd love those double decker seats they invented to fit more people, racked compartments you lay in like a Japanese hotel would be amazing too if it fit more people on and lowered the shared cost of the flight.

  • R Rule
  • Yeah I checked, very wholesome old men in rainbows or posing as couples. A few shirtless.

    Pornhub gives different results so im guessing this is for straight guys searching Gary Oldman there.

  • Noise Pollution ruins quality of life
  • I know plenty of people that knew him, sure he was a good friend to some but when your whole personality is egotistical attention seeking through violence and disruption then yeah I'm going to quietly laugh at the irony of a shrine which only serves as a reminder to the locals that their life was made a little better and safer.

  • Calls for J.D. Vance to resign after he admits that he 'created' pet-eating story about immigrants
  • It is worrying to see the total disregard for truth people have here, especially while calling out someone else as dishonest.

    There's no way to misinterpret what he said accidentally as he explained what he meant, it's just a full and easily disprovable lie of a headline.
