Catastrophic change looms as Earth nears climate ‘tipping points’, report says
  • Right, but aside from everybody deciding to return to monke overnight, this is the most the average singular person can do to fight climate change. The problem is multipronged and societal. Westerners eat way too much meat, westerners drive way too many high emission vehicles, westerners buy too much shitty plastic crap, westerners leave every light in the house on while they have 3 screens open scrolling/gaming/background noise.

  • Catastrophic change looms as Earth nears climate ‘tipping points’, report says
  • Unfortunately, even if we stopped using all petroleum products right this second, there's still that nasty 50 year lag between emissions and atmospheric outcome. We'll be seeing the Earth get hotter and hotter for many years to come before it changes, and by that time, the cascading system failures of Earth's biomes may be well past the point of no return.

  • Killer’s family allegedly knew Gabby Petito was dead weeks before discovery
  • It was known. It was widely reported that there were letters written between Brian and his parents, with his parents offering to help him hide the body. It was a very well publicized case and it's weird that people forgot this massive detail.

  • Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app
  • I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about in the comments. I use discord pretty much constantly and at all times.

    Nitro ads? It's 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there's no more ads.

    Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.

    Can't find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.

    Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side. Okay, some of the options are a little obscured, but it's not like Discord is doing anything except connecting like minded people via text and voice/video chat.

    I sincerely don't know what anyone is talking about. But part of me thinks it's because discord doesn't have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.

  • london.ctvnews.ca Calls for action after another crash shuts Riverside Drive

    London police have posted to social media that Riverside Drive is closed to all traffic between Beaverbrook Avenue and Upper Avenue.

    Calls for action after another crash shuts Riverside Drive

    People act like Riverside is this super dangerous street because there's always accidents/fatalities on it. What people don't really appreciate is how many drivers on London roads are drunk at any given time. Also, Riverside is basically one long straight race track with one 90 degree turn. Drunks love driving on Riverside.

    Truth is, you could add traffic calming measures, but the city does sometimes just randomly remove its own infrastructure because we love wasting money.

    How many of you tune PID loops as part of your regular job tasks?

    I've always been fascinated in how the process actually occurs. Is it more or less handled by software these days or are you performing the calculus yourself? What applications are you tuning? Cheers!

    To Federate or Not To Federate

    Okay, so forgive my ignorance, this is all pretty new for me.

    Obviously a lot of us are here as Reddit refugees. People looking for a discussion forum that scratches that itch. Fediverse sounds pretty neat. Only I'm not really sure what to make of these instances. Basically, I need a separate account for each Lemmy instance? So if for some reason .world doesn't have what I'm looking for, I literally need to make a new account on someone else's instance? For example, my login doesn't work on lemmy.ca. Isn't the point that you can comment on anyone's post no matter what because it's all run through Activity Pub? Or do I have to make my own instance to federate other people's instances? Super weird.

    Am I missing something here? I just want to have a place where I have 1 login and I can see the entire internet's worth of interesting stuff. Like Reddit.
