Tried looking that up but can’t really find anything, what is the controversy there?

Skimmed through the article quickly and yeah that’s what I interpret as well, this is just NFC Payment, and has been a thing on Android devices for years already.

There are tons of politicians out there that want to do more. Hardcore green parties, climate advocates, straight up activists. They have been active for years and years.

Nobody votes for them. On the contrary, people are voting increasingly for the exact opposite.

And I mean, why wouldn’t they? The climate disaster snowball is so goddamn big now that the actions needed to take to slow it down is growing increasingly extreme. And as the actions grow more extreme, the immediate impact on personal comfort convenience and quality of life grows. Why would anyone vote for something that objectively makes your life worse?

So instead of voting for that, people vote for the status quo. Maybe for those who commit to some token greenwashing at best. Maybe it won’t be so bad, they say. Maybe it’ll only impact brown people somewhere. Maybe it’s not even real to begin with.

And so the snowball grows, the scale of the reactions needed to stop it grow with it, and the cycle perpetuates. As it has for the last several decades.

Hades sounds worth a try, it checks many of the boxes at least, though not all

Still waiting for the Polearm Mastery + Sentinel build fix :(

Might seem counterintuitive at first pass, but brushing Before breakfast IS much better.

There’s a couple of reasons for this. One thing being that you want to wash out the bacteria that have multiplied overnight - these are the ones that give you the morning stinkbreath, and that sticky coating you feel on your teeth.

Additionally, when you eat you expose your teeth to acids that weaken and softens your enamel for a while. Brushing the weakened enamel weakens the enamel over time. Brushing before on the other hand helps protect your teeth from said acids, reducing this weakening effect.

That said, brushing after you’ve eaten is still better than not brushing at all.

I don’t have the same background for it, but currently doing the exact same thing. Tiptoeing around eggshells to avoid conflict of any sort, retreating and agreeing at the slightest sign of friction. Recently started seeing a therapist that made me aware of how incredibly toxic and self-destructive this is. We both gotta be better, take care of yourself man.

The answer is largely the same if you make the same assumptions though, just roughly twice as bad because not only does the earth stop and everything not attached goes yeet, but everything attached starts moving just as fast as you in the opposite direction

Other way around, the mod author was made an employee after the fact, I believe

Ditto. Used to be a Boost user on Reddit, joined Lemmy when Boost was released for it, but ended up switching to Connect because boost was finicky for me for some reason. Never saw any reason to look back, i like Connect better

Barely spoke a word with any of them for several years. Got a kid. Now i know almost all of them.

EXTREMELY effective method, but has a few caveats.

Shoutout to Uplink! Not something you look to for realism, but it’s a really well designed hacker sim. Lots of fun!

Newgrounds still lives and flourishes, to this day it is still an incredibly active hub for free browser games and animations. Itch.io is another hub that is very active, both with free and paid games. Both have thousands of browser games, quality ranging from literal shit to truly excellent.

Flash may have died, but the browser game very much lives on.
