Most of the legitimate "block sunlight" proposals involve cloud seeding or spreading long-lasting particulates high in the upper atmosphere. The goal of these projects is to reflect 1-2% of sunlight, which would significantly cool the climate, but plants would hardly notice. In fact, organisms like reef systems would greatly appreciate it, as they're dying off at an extraordinary rate.

I mean, that would be a lot of iron....

Like that's ever stopped us from doing things for profit?

Honestly, that's what's holding us back. Make climate repair profitable, and the climate will be fixed inside of a decade.

I'm not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

I'm not playing defense for anyone. I'm recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.

Believe it or not, it's a laudable goal. Cow feces is responsible for about 40% (yes, really) of methane production worldwide, and methane is several times more impactful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I called bullshit (heh) the first time I heard these stats, too, but they're real.

If I had to guess, I'd say they're trying to maximize their market cap. It's no secret that they're looking for a buyer and/or eyeing and IPO. The more profitable they can seem before that, the more money Huffman can walk away with.

I've been informed numerous times by legal counsel that any legal threat which doesn't come via certified mail can be ignored. I am not a lawyer; this does not constitute legal advice in any way.

I had 130K+ karma, and after my eighth "permaban," I decided to stop fighting it. I pissed off a couple of power mods, and they began abusing the report function. Calling them out by name got me "unbanned" every single time, but I'm done at this point.... Reddit is dying, and I don't care.

It was a certain turtle, so it wasn't hard to figure out. And yeah, I'm on eight at this point. Even if I was interested in fighting the good fight again, with the way things are going over there, he'll be back in power in no time. I'm done with that nonsense; I'll go back to Fark if I have to.

Noice.

Sounds like they'll be bringing turtle, everyone's favorite boot-licker, back with gusto. Good riddance.

Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate is your average turtle fan. Explains a lot, in hindsight.

Anybody remember Usenet? (kbin.social) en

So I've finally been doing my little reddit/twitter migration against my better judgement (my better judgement would say to take the opportunity to get off the internet but who listens to that loser). I'm finding all these platforms interesting, I particularly like how kbin combines both formats and links up to Mastodon, that's...

Gutotito,

I was just thinking this morning how much this platform reminds me of Usenet, at least in its cross-server "fediverse." I remember waiting days sometimes for different Usenet servers to sync up so I could get replies to shit I posted a week ago. The lag may not be as drastic with Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/whatever, but it's the same basic concept.

None of this, though, makes me nostalgic for the days of newsgroups. That shit was a hot mess, and I'm frankly glad it's effectively gone the way of gopher.

I've been "permabanned" from Reddit eight or so times, with all but the most recent one contested and reversed. Short story: I pissed off a certain turtle, and he made sure to report me for inciting violence every chance he got, which, best I can tell, is a preemptive ban regardless of post content. With this latest one, though, I'm done; I'm not even fighting it. I needed a good kick in the ass to get off of Reddit, and this is it.

Neat. I've suffered from this since I was single-digits-old; just thought everyone's ears rang. Been a lot of "treatments" over the years, but nothing seems to stick. Will be interested to see how this plays out.

Gutotito,
@Gutotito@kbin.social avatar

Was anyone actually spending money on that crap?

I've been "permabanned" for the fourth time in four months. Pissed off a couple of the power mods, and they've been abusing the report button to get me kicked. Always manage to get it reversed once I get through to somebody via the appeals process, but I'm just not feeling it this time.
