Same. Only reason I lock it when I leave the house is so my cat can't crawl around on the keyboard and fuck with shit.

This is also why a lot of beer and other alcohol is bottled in brown bottles. The brown glass blocks some amount of UV exposure which can affect the final product over time.

Green glass has no such benefit though. Just looks nice.

Personal responsibility is great but you won't affect systemic change through personal action. I'm not suggesting you stop being a conscientious consumeror but we have a tendency to keep insisting that the first step is for everyone to individually change.l their behaviour.

E.g. If you want to personally abstain from contribution to climate change then that's A-OK but if your goal is to actually prevent it then you need to think and work systemically.

I don't mean organise in a workplace (though we all should) I mean organise in a community sense. The idea that you are responsible in part for a systemic problem because of your own consumption habits was foisted on us by corpos to shift blame for the economic and environmental destruction they chose to cause.

In aggregate yes but individually no. Unless there's some wider structure organising individuals to withhold their consumption for explicit reasons that the corpo can hear then your unsub won't have any effect beyond your own sense of self-satisfaction.

That's not to say that it's pointless but if you want to hurt a corpo you need to organise.

How is this not a movie yet?

Warner Brothers is not losing their copyright on Harry Potter over a public library doing a themed event lmao

If they've got 4 fruits left and they're all hanging over the fence then they just harvested their tree. Let's not look for hyperspecific edge cases here we're discussing a rule of thumb.

[-] gerbler@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

If it's overhanging public property it's fair game. The owner has plenty of fruit on their side too I'll bet. If they take issue with it they can guide their plant so it's confined to their property. That being said I wouldn't be reaching over the fence to yank a cucumber or apple.

That won't make the sex offender registry functionally useless at all... /s

If you ever needed an example of how conservatives don't actually give a shit about preventing child predation...

By Grabthar's hammer.... What a movie.

What pisses me off about the whole Unity thing is that if Unity makes itself eat shit then it just further consolidates engines into fewer hands. Godot is great and all but it doesn't have everything Unreal has (I'm not throwing shade it'll get there dw) and I really really don't want Epic to have a bigger stranglehold on the games industry than it already does.

Unity had its niche and if the executives could stop fucking around it would be lovely to have as a competitor in the landscape.

Also to everyone saying "just don't use Unity": there are a lot of people who have put a lot of time and money and effort into learning Unity and it's not exactly as easy as you think to just switch to an entirely new workflow. You also have to consider how impractical it is to switch engines mid-development. There's a reason why Unreal 5 has been out for multiple years and we're only just seeing games developed with it now. Developers (especially ones with big budgets and all the caveats they come with) don't want to ship a game with the latest and greatest engine if there's kinks to be worked out. This is why you still see Unreal 4 in games released today.

Android's file structure is so incomprehensible. I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been any significant effort made to make it more readable. Pictures saved in app directories, downloads, camera, images, pictures, media, DCIM???.
