My main account is here. I’m also using this one: solo@piefed.social, because I really like the feed feature.

Try and explain how lobbying currently works then, without including corruption
Sure corruption is not an invention of capitalism, but one of the problems of capitalism is that it promotes and favors corruption. Lobbyists are an easy example of what I mean.
It seems to me you are missing the point. This is an article about a new scientific discovery. It is not an article about how capitalist industries implement science.
Dammit, I wonder why this is, I mean it works for me. Actually I archived it bc I can’t access the original source.
Anyways, the article can be found here: https://www.ftm.eu/articles/next-food-crisis-big-five-speculation I hope this works for you
I am saying “isn’t earmarked for the federal government” and you come up with a fact check saying that it is not earmarked for military use. Which is the same thing.
No. “Isn’t earmarked for the federal government” is not the same as “isn’t earmarked for military use".
Any links to back what you say would be highly appreciated.
I’m really sorry that this is what you got from what I wrote. I definitely don’t think we should keep using fossil fuel. On the contrary, I am all in for phasing out extractions and usage.
Cuz the US strategic oil reserve isn’t earmarked for the federal government
According to a factcheck site it looks like the U.S. Oil Reserve Created for Supply Disruptions, Not Strictly Military Use. So maybe your statement is wrong? Otherwise could you share the source you got this from?
the share of the military energy usage in the federal energy usage is entirely meaningless tot the oil consumption of the US economy
I don’t understand what you are saying, could you please explain and/or share a relevant link? Btw maybe I should clarify that by talking about “consumption” I was not talking in economic terms, just in the sense of “utilizing”.
I have watched only a few minutes of this vid so far, as well as the timestamps and I must admit I don’t agree with this approach because of something I learned today.
He says around 2 m something like: the strategic US reserve of oil even tho the number of barrels sounds huge, they could sustain the US only a month of our current use. From the context my understanding is that he implies that this is due to casual, everyday-people consumption.
Well, it looks like the Department of Defense is the U.S. government’s largest fossil fuel consumer, accounting for between 77% and 80% of all federal government energy consumption since 2001. So why is this huge percentage missing from this long analysis?
Anyways, if he talks about the US military petroleum consumption, please let me know. Or if I got something wrong with this new info I got about the US military, let me know too.
There is also the option of Session and similar apps that don’t use mail or phone number. From my experience with it, it was super easy to use and even tho at first it was quite buggy, but the devs were constantly improving it. I haven’t used it for a couple of years now, and was great then for the way we used it - but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is even better now. I mean, I hope!
Thank you for the info!
Just a reminder that Signal is not 100% open source since 2021. This means that we can no longer verify if what they say about privacy, security, etc, is true.
To my understanding the backdoor was opened in 2021.
we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private

It looks like this is a new (to me) feature I was not aware of and this is why I deleted the comment you replied to.
Since I consider this super important I would like to ask Smookey4444@anarchist.nexus to change the post description and ask for those who want to participate to follow the necessary steps as indicated by Signal (see here), before joining this group. Otherwise, it’s a problematic situation on so many levels imo.

Please reconsider. You can join a group like that without giving away your phone number to a person you don’t know, asking for it online. See relevant comment in this comment section.
I will repeat stuff that are already present in this conversation because I consider this super important.
With Signal one has to share their phone number. Please don’t share your phone number with random people you meet online.
This podcast is about organising, solidarity, and ways that bring people together. Legal action part of their repertoir, but they don’t just do that.
Personnaly, I found it very funny to read this specific sentence. Thank you for reminding it to me!
like a sort of evil lemon
Thanks a mil to both of you, @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net for the trust, and @Five@slrpnk.net for the tag and the kind words!!
I did a little bit of digging on this and if it looks like sand batteries are a subcategory of thermal batteries, which in their turn are part of what is called thermal energy storage . Wiki mentioned something that I found fascinating and that I totally didn’t know:
