The first time anybody on your instance searches for a separate lemmy community, your Lemmy instance reaches out for the other community and learns that it exists. After that point it shows up in searches and after one person subscribes it appears in your instance’s All feed.
It’s really hard to know if any particular animal feels pain. There are also hundreds of kinds of jellyfish with a variety of levels of intelligence. Some vegans would tell you that just because the nature of their intelligence is alien to us doesn’t mean it’s less valuable. Personally I find it difficult to empathize with any creature that lacks a brain, especially plants.
Kind of unrelated but squids are often extremely intelligent, and are definitely not vegan in my book.
I like the idea of a locally stored and locally encrypted password manager because when your passwords are on somebody else’s server with 10s of thousands of other people, that server becomes an attractive target for hacks. Who would bother hacking my computer just for one set of passwords?
But with something hosted, they do (probably, do your research) have professional security experts working to protect their database.
They mean any alternative to first past the post, options being STAR voting, approval voting, or ranked choice. Basically anything that means a 3rd party vote isn’t a “wasted” vote.
I think probably not, because the concentrations of salt and sugar aren’t just relative to each other but also relative to the water content. You can eat trail mix, cookies with added sodium, something like this, or a homemade version to replenish carbs + sodium after strenuous workouts, but you will still need to drink water as well.
For anybody who was confused like me, this is a Nathan J Robinson parody account, not the actual Current Affairs owner.
The propaganda is people “like” their private insurance and don’t want to be “forced” to get rid of it. There is also an anti-tax streak that has existed since the 1700s (no taxation without representation, Boston tea party, etc) that lives on strongest in reactionary politics.
Edit: Oh and last time we tried to actually improve healthcare they scare mongered the public that there would be “government death panels” who decided whether you would get coverage. As opposed to the current reality where the death panels are real and run by private corporations.
Umm, aktually, your phone is digital, my good sir, which means that technically, there is no “film” inside with which to film, only my favorite directors like Judd Apatow use real film 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I played the demo. After the amazing trailer they had I thought it would be great, but it’s a mission-based point and click adventure game with some multiverse and role-playing elements and a basic turn based combat system. It didn’t appeal to me that much, but I thought the writing and art style was alright.
If they’re that indie, consider paying for it because they need support to exist. Sorry I don’t have a real answer.
Bandcamp is a godsend. You can even listen to entire albums legally before you buy!
I’m more certain about the first search part.
