    Oh weird, I know where that option usually shows up for me (running Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS), but it doesn’t seem to be there for Piefed?

    EDIT: Nevermind, sorry! I think they combined the “add shortcut” and “install app” buttons in Vanadium, got it set up now.

    Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

    However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

    Congrats!!! It’s looking great so far, love the low bandwidth aspect.

    My Lemmy instance seems to have been abandoned, and it’s been slowly losing functionality over the last few months. So, I’ve been begrudgingly trying to decide on a new one for when this one fails entirely… Piefed seems like it’d be a great choice, except I’ll definitely need to wait until it either works with a Lemmy app, has its own app, or at least has a PWA. Anyway, great work!! Lovely to see multiple interoperable platforms shaping up.

    One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

    For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.

    The reason you can’t afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it’s a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn’t it?






  • I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy’s rule 2 about “Overt Politics”, but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.

    overtly political answer, also CW for violence.

    As far as the current American system goes… nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:

    • In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people.
    • In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state’s domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn’t have covered it.
    • In 2022, this expanded law gets used… against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them.

    Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide “that doesn’t count, actually” when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn’t apply to them in retrospect.




  • The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what’s going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison…
