I can also choose not to buy milk because they are no longer available in glass bottles.

I can also choose not to buy food which comes in a plastic bag or blister.

Erratic6576··on I used to not worry about climate change. Now I do [video]
Overpopulation isn’t the source of the problem, IMHO. A wild human being in their natural environment pollutes thousands of times less than an industrialised consumer.

Each American or European, whose food is grown thousands of km away, is plenty more only to make their salad. Can they be blamed for their Carbon Footprint^TM? I think we should blame the fossil fuel corporations which have turned us into fuel junkies

Erratic6576··on The invention of a new pasta shape (2021)
What used to keep me up at night was skipping dinner. I would watch the ceiling for hours in anxiety. Until one day, late at night, I went out of bed for some fast food to take away

We need to ban fossil fuels for most uses now. Like coal

We are doing too little too late

Inability to download from the cloud is happening to me every with every provider. Proton from the web, OneDrive Cryptomator vault through Cyberduck. I’ll have to use rclone, I guess

Erratic6576··on Chat Control. Who pays when a private joke ends with an F18 escorting your plane
A student from London travels to Menorca with five friends. Before entering the plane, he sends a photo of himself to the private Snapchat group that says: “I'm going to detonate the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban).” When the plane is flying over France, the British intelligence services transmit the allegd threat to their Spanish counterparts, who send two military planes to escort the flight to the island. The prosecution requests a fine of 22,500 euros and civil liability compensation of 94,782 euros, the bill for the F-18s

Maybe agriculture didn’t become important until the Meteorite blast 10,000 years ago
Erratic6576··on Woolly mammoth movements tied to earliest Alaska hunting camps
We “were” badass. In a few generations of progress, we’ve evolved from hunting and eating huge grilled mammoths in family hearing stories; to eating fried small chicken wings alone in the comfort of our homes watching canned TV shows.

What’s next? We can only imagine: eating tiny insect purée from a chewing-machine in the comfort of our shared condo-room, with the A/C at full power

Erratic6576··on Boeing 737-900ER: Second model to be inspected after 737 MAX 9 blowout
>I'm so surprised people aren't more terrified to fly.

this fear has turned the flight industry into the safest and most responsible institution. They make mistakes, but they honestly investigate them and learn how to correct them.

It’s terrifying to put yourself in a metal box at high speed in a road where the risk is way higher than in any other mean of transport

Erratic6576··on Brave browser simplifies its fingerprinting protections
I’ve lost hope. My amiunique.org fingerprint is always unique.

I’d like my web browser to peach less on me. Websites don’t need to know my primary browsing language is en-gb, I’m rather proficient in other written dialects.

They don’t need to fingerprint my audio setup.

It seems like browsers were conceived at a time when surveillance capitalism didn’t exist and they still behave like thar

I guess the idea is that If Russians cannot buy western cars, they’ll buy the new Ladas
Erratic6576··on I believe bestselling author Mark Dawson is a serial plagiarist
Plagiarism is a lack of citing sources. If you haven’t published your school work, you cannot cite yourself. Or can you
Erratic6576··on I believe bestselling author Mark Dawson is a serial plagiarist
I’ve heard that about self-plagiarism and I think it’s idiotic. You should be able to reuse your own sentences or ideas.

Specially ideas. Which cannot be copyrighted (yet).

Somebody show cage Michael Tomasello right now. Open any of his books and you’ll see a series of self-plagiarism sentences.

I now think he’s just a genius because he’s investigated his field in depth

Erratic6576··on Why is everything so ugly?
The other day, I saw some workers finishing a series of 8 white shipping-sized containers each with A/C, aligned one next to the other on a plot of urban land.

I decided it had to be the expansion of a public (state) school, because I’ve read on the press about these containers being used in cases of shock-doctrine implementation.

Compared to foreign universities, Public education and public buildings in general used to be ugly, uninspiring, from the cradle (horrible huge hospitals) to the grave (horrible huge condominia-like wall with niches for a coffin).

We are transcending these thresholds to go full ugliness for the poor, in the name of economic efficiency

Erratic6576··on I believe bestselling author Mark Dawson is a serial plagiarist
It’s a collage of flowery phrases taken from here and there. I don’t think it’s plagiarism, because it involves copying larger chunks than a convenient paragraph.

Originality is the art of hiding your sources, which has become utterly impossible nowadays with the search engines.

If he had studied after the 2010s, he would have paraphrased a bit more to confuse google
