My apartment building sent an email berating tenants for bothering them about being locked out of their apartments due to the locks all being these really terrible bluetooth "smart locks" that often fail to work correctly so you have to fight with your phone for 5 minutes standing at the door to get it open. Most people won't figure out that force killing the app and toggling bluetooth is required to get it to connect quickly.
So I responded that instead perhaps they should cancel their contract with the vendor (Latch) and give us real keys again because someone is going to literally get murdered because they can't get the door open fast enough to escape an assailant.
Their response today was a giant wall of text about how it actually improves the building's security blah blah blah

@npub1er2…arq5 I'm cynical about a lot of this but battery recycling is real and also the new lithiums don't need to be recycled to be repurposed. They can still last decades as storage after they've been retired from their original purpose due to capacity loss being greater that permitted for their original application
Agreed about a lot of new stuff being rather terrible environmentally. Like these giant turbine blades? Yikes.
Also go search for that. The results are amazing. Countless articles try to greenwash it. "Wind Turbine Blades Don’t Have To End Up In Landfills"
https://blog.ucsusa.org/james-gignac/wind-turbine-blades-recycling/
They admit that they do indeed end up in the landfill because there is no way to recycle them. Just begging us to believe that the new fiberglass recycling research is gonna work out.
"While about 90% of turbines are easily recyclable, their blades are not." pwease :3: ignore the last ten percent :3:
Sick of this nonsense.

How was this supposed to work anyway? We magically cut production of oil and still sustain our needs while also building solar, wind, batteries, nuclear, etc faster at an unprecedented rate and then installing all of that new infra without somehow requiring any oil to do that in the first place?
It takes a LOT of energy to build renewables at scale. Does everyone just ignore that when they do the math?

Americans are riddled with health issues directly attributed to our diets which could be resolved over time by e.g., allowing our beef and corn to actually be priced at the real market rate.
It would drive a lot of fast food out of business because it would be unaffordable to operate.
The pressure would reduce on our healthcare system over time.
But people wouldn't be able to eat a Big Mac/chicken nuggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You don't want to upset the people. They like what they like.

Energy prices are not deflationary. Food prices are very much related to the price of oil/diesel/fertilizers. We keep scaling up food production but our energy isn't getting cheaper year over year.
It should be even higher than it is right now, but in the USA we subsidize farmers (and not even wisely) which lets those in power nod their heads about how they've done such a good job keeping the American public sated while simultaneously wrecking the entire economy behind this façade

This same brainworm :brainworms: is what makes people point at Mac users and say they're being taken advantage of because "all of the paid apps" vs Linux.
Most of the apps I've purchased -- which are incredibly high quality, and get updates to support every new MacOS release -- are developed by independent developers. These are regular people who love what they do, made something useful, and supporting the software supports them and their families. I rarely have to buy something that comes from a giant global mega corp.
Is that evil because it's not open source?
When was the last time you gave $100 to another open source developer? Ever?

No but honestly, why does everyone think the entire internet and every tool needs to be 100% free?
What the fuck is wrong with people?

"The self driving car stopped in the middle of the road and caused an accident"
That's literally a Tuesday in Miami. Can we ban those people from driving too?
What happened to keeping a safe driving distance away from other cars? If you're driving safely it should be impossible for someone to slam on their brakes in front of you and cause an accident :shrug:

The Reddit-like communities running on Lemmy and Kbin work this way.
I'm using it right now in this conversation.

Great! Now it's time for Mastodon to support direct mentions so those don't have to be in the text either

That doesn't make any sense. Federating with Meta does not mean you receive every post for every user on Meta.
By that logic you couldn't run Pleroma on Raspberry Pi and federate with Mastodon.social

"Meta does not manage their platforms in such a way as to effectively prevent people from using their platform to direct abuse and harassment towards vulnerable groups" is not even remotely the same as "Meta is violent"

> However, the fediverse is under no obligation to provide bad faith actors with proven dangerous and violent behaviour white glove service to our data
What violent acts has Meta done?
Also, don't post publicly if you don't want it to be viewable to the public. Getting tired of beating this dead horse... 🥱
