Sounds like the acidity doesn’t need to be neutralized. It’s recommended here that you compost them or just mix them into the soil. When I worked in coffee shops we would compost them and then someone picked that up. Also says some plants react better to coffee grounds but you shouldn’t have to apply baking soda because “Fresh coffee grounds are acidic. Used coffee grounds are neutral.”

Excellent movie and currently free to view on Kanopy which you only a library card to sign up for.

Prior to Oct 7, Gaza had one of if not the highest densities of rooftop solar panels in the world. The IOF has obviously reduced that through their bombing campaign. Hamas and being “woke” have nothing to do with this.

Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:

As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:

Private posts from public accounts

Posts on deleted or suspended accounts

Unanswered asks

Private answers

Explicit posts

Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.) 

One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.

From Wikipedia:

In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.

That’s a good point. I generally copy the title verbatim from the article but as you’ve pointed out it’s a bit misleading. This is definitely not magic.

Thank you. And those are only the confirmed dead. There are thousands more missing and presumably dead under the rubble.

You’re grasping at straws to try to invalidate me instead of saying anything that would back up your point making your argument weaker. There was no repetition from me so if you’ve heard this before it would seem you’ve had this discussion before and may benefit from listening. Perhaps you shouldn’t respond if you have nothing to say

A better example of a pogrom might be the killing of over 30,000 civilian Palestinians and simultaneously starving them to death with blockade following 75 years of occupation and a century of colonialism. Proportionality matters and it doesn’t favor your argument

One need not pretend something that is already factually accurate. This was a retaliation and direct response for Israel bombing Iran’s consulate in Syria on April 1. This is why Iran targeted and struck the Negev air force base ( which contains US F-35s used to bomb Gaza ) as that is the base from which that attack originated. This is also why Iran says it now considers the matter “concluded” and warned the US and Israel against further reprisals. Those are facts and not “pretending” so if you are going to “pretend” this isn’t true and try to distort the matter I’m not interested.

The best part is the UN charter clearly states that when a country is attacked, it has aright to self defense. Let’s watch Israel talk their way around that as they vindicate Iran and incriminate themselves.

I don’t think it’s just you. It does seem a bit pessimistic / fatalistic at first glance, especially the headline, but it’s clearly a more complicated issue once you read through. You’re right, the issue isn’t solar energy but more about being careful about how it’s put to use and the impact thereof. If anything it shows the dangers of expecting capitalism to save us and issues we run into if we try to take the easy way out. We know the issue exists now so it’s more a question of what next.

Tthanks. When you reply to posts or comments, consider commenting on the content of the post as well as the form

It’s all worth it if it means having this image grace the Fediverse.

I understand your sentiment and appreciate it but I disagree with it. I’m not offended but I’m curious if you read all this. In no way is anyone glorifying suicide or encouraging it and his friend from the military states clearly that that’s not what this was. I didn’t read this is as glorifying or martyring him but honoring the message and who this man was. I’m sad as well but would rather do that without directing anger at those remembering him.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! It definitely is. You may also appreciate Democracy Now’s coverage yesterday where they interviewed his friend from the military https://youtu.be/6f8MYAF1L9M?si=vmyZ25IK8fIg9-22

If you are posting on walled-garden big tech site like Reddit, Instagram, Twitter / X, the site and therefore the company certainly owns your content and all the metadata attributed to it. You’re the product. This is why most of us are here on the Fediverse where things are different. Maybe if it’s your personal photo you took than you can make a copyright claim to some degree and download your data tediously but once it’s on their network it’s generally theirs to do as they please, whether that be sell to Google or any other advertiser or use on in-house advertising. Often without proper informed consent and not always legally. It’s definitely a scam, I agree. Hopefully this exposes it more and brings more people to places on the Fediverse where there’s no owner/seller/buyer of your data or anything else you contributed.

So it’s user generated content that is a product for Reddit to sell, like most big tech companies do, as I said.
