These look fun.
Every day is a school day; I had no idea.
For those who like me are wondering why folk are sucking sand out of the sea in the first place - the TL;DR bot missed this bit:
"Sand and gravel makes up half of all the materials mined in the world. Globally, 50bn tonnes of sand and gravel are used every year – the equivalent of a wall 27 metres high and 27 metres wide stretching round the equator. It is the key ingredient of concrete and asphalt.
“Our entire society is built on sand, the floor of your building is probably concrete, the glass on the windows, the asphalt on roads is made of sand,” said Peduzzi. “We can’t stop doing it because we need lots of concrete for the green transition, for wind turbines and other things.”"
Agree.
Even on sites with an algorithm (eg Reddit and Twitter) my experience was severely improved by trimming down the follow list and then always sorting by new.
Ok. Between the two the Vaer seems more robust, comes with a nicer strap and is more readily available (the Citizen BM8186-15E appears to be out of stock in a few places).
Doesn’t look bad; on paper nothing really stands out as a negative.
Do you have a particular budget? Is a field watch the particular style you’re after?
For a smaller wrist I was surprised by this Seiko here as it smaller despite being a diver (it’s also more expensive).
If the Vaer is the end result of a search process for what you like, you may as well go for it.
I can’t think of anything that would help apart from a Casio digital. But your post seemed kind of lonely all in its own so here’s a comment.
Bean does have this feature, but with caveats. At the moment the smoothest way I’ve found to experience a multi-community is by grouping them in a list on Mastodon.
If you’re out there, need to be in a car and for whatever reason find it hard to keep the car at 20mph - do what I do and use the speed limiter function (if you have one). Works a charm.
With or without the tech aid though, there’s no excuse.
The key word is “some”.
You’ll find bullying is treated in a similar way - the perception of the person who heard or experienced something is significant, the intent of the person who said or did something much less so.
On the other hand, one could be misleading and mistaken by giving out incorrect information, but one could be lying if they are knowingly giving out incorrect information… (intent)
I used to live with one. We called her the smiling assassin.
All I can say is that the greater the gap between what is intended and what others perceive, the more difficult things can become.
Politics (even family politics) is full of this stuff.
In some legal contexts intent really matters.
But intention can only ever be inferred (unless bluntly stated) you could argue that if people generally aren’t willing or able to examine things too closely, then perception becomes everything.
Better if you can achieve consistency in both.
What’s your context? Is this a theological question? A legal question? A political question?
I think there’s an element of “careful what you wish for” (hence my stance of “let it be”). I think the risks of over-zealous behaviour, defederation and apparently spontaneous loss of host servers is quite real.
Your idea of multi-communities seems sound; as long as the user is made aware of which community they are posting to when they reply (in case of quirks in the community rules etc) it should work - and over time it is likely that certain communities will become the “go to” for certain types of discussion.
Let it be. The duplication problem is all over the Fediverse. Over time some of those communities will die out and some will become more distinctive or specialised, attracting specific engagement in their own right; the problem will solve itself.
Why don’t we take a look at how the plastics industry handled the public? Here’s Climate Town (YouTube link).
true to themselves
Looking at the lyrics in hindsight, you can see how that was all too true.
I tested the patience of the AD trying on different ones.
The blue looks great, as does black; white suited my tastes in the end.
