You are. People would be very worried. It’s just that their worry would not be expressed in attempts to improve things in the long-term when there’s a short-term disaster.

If the Gulf Stream will definitely collapse in 2025 (which is not what the study says), then that’s too soon to do anything about, so the priority is surviving it rather than preventing it. Fundamentally, things that help prevent disaster are not the same as things that help survive it.

That’s true if it’s closer to 2095. If it’s closer to 2025, there’s fuck all we can do to stop it, and so we need to do what’s best to survive it, which is not the same as what’s best to prevent it.

It’s kind of important whether it’s 2095 (prepare for it, set up nuclear, reduce carbon emissions) or 2025 (fuck global warming, we need fuel and we need it now, the more carbon emitted the better).

Actions that work in the possible world in which it collapses soon are actively harmful in possible worlds in which it doesn’t. Acting as if a threat will happen only makes sense if the action isn’t significantly harmful in cases where it doesn’t, where significantly is based on the harm of not being prepared and the chance of it happening.

If the Gulf Stream will collapse by 2025, the response isn’t to be more eco-friendly. In fact, it’s the opposite. Everyone in the north should prepare to burn a lot more fuel, and concern for global warming would definitely be reduced. Global warming is something you can only afford to give a shit about when temperatures haven’t just dropped by 3.5C and you haven’t just lost 78% of your arable land (UK figures, because that’s where I live).

Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn’t let me.

NewPipe’s great, but it’s less useful because I prefer some features it doesn’t have (like the ability to log in).

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Revanced still costs $0/month.

They often seem to blame capitalism for the fact we’re not in an impossible utopia.

Two zs, otherwise it’d be the past tense of speze.

I don’t mean my bootloader though. The UEFI menu can’t be accessed using the standard method of pressing a key.

Fucking up my UEFI on my laptop, making it difficult to boot into Linux.

Undoing that.

Oppo A54 5G with the associated Oppo Watch.

I like mostly that it’s an decent affordable 5G phone that came with a smartwatch on my contract.

What I don’t like is its tendency to overheat when the hotspot is on. The specific one I’ve had has had problems with its charger, but I’m not sure if that’s a general thing or a misuse thing or what. My watch also has a tendency to reset and erase itself if you look at it funny.

Overall rating: 3/5 (1/5 being the Doogee I had once that had adware integrated into the OS).

I use Revanced, personally, but also have NewPipe installed.

Opposition to gay marriage was fairly common in the early and mid 2010s. It was only legalised 8 years ago in the US, and so, in 2016, it was still a live issue.

Yes. That is political affiliation. You might not share it, but whether same-sex marriage should be legal is absolutely a political question, even if it is now outside the Overton window.

Personally, I’m not sure I support any form of state marriage, but if it exists, it should include same-sex marriage.

That’s definitely what it should mean. -oid means resembling or pertaining to, it’s not a diminutive.

It’s currently deemed a flawed democracy. That is, primarily democratic, but with some authoritarian or illiberal features.

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t have everyone over from Reddit.

I trust America more than China. If some foreign government has to have my data, I’d rather it be America.
