My bad too. I preopen a lot of Slashdot tabs so I don't see if someone else may have made the same reply 20minutes before I get to the tab
No biggie. That has happened to me many times too.
Such civility! Is this still the internet?!
Anyone worried about this might consider buying a Glock.
Indeed.
When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.
Can I pay cash for an e-sim?
What if I want to communicate anonymously? I can buy a prepaid physical sim without creating a paper trail.
How is this not an attack on privacy?

We put out one immediate ecological disaster, and in the process we create another
Wildfires are social disasters, not ecological disasters. They're a part of the natural process by which forests maintain equilibrium. They're only called "disasters" when they affect buildings.
And his approval is quite low for an incoming president.
To be fair, he's not really an incoming president in the conventional sense. He's more like a second-term president in that people have already seen him in "action" and formed opinions based on his track record. Who knows precisely how the intervening four years would tend to affect his approval.
The only precedent is, of course, Grover Cleveland, and I doubt his approval ratings were established by a methodology that's similar enough to ours for the numbers to be directly comparable.
As a frequent DDG user, I appreciate the privacy aspect, but often find the result quality lacking and kneel to Google when I have to.
Ostensibly better privacy than DDG, and it uses Google's results.
Enjoy!
Obesity in the poor is not necessarily due to "poor life choices". Ther are other factors contributing to it.
3) Eating healthy is expensive in both time and money. Cheaper foods tend to be less healthy.
Your thesis seems to be that poor people are fat because "healthy" food is expensive. Eating primarily junk food will likely cause a number of long-term health problems, but obesity doesn't have to be one of them.
To a first-order approximation, obesity means (calories in) > (calories out). If eating a whole bag of Cheetos for dinner makes you fat, then your caloric (if not nutritional) needs have been more than met. Consider eating half a bag of Cheetos for dinner instead?
Am I wrong?
The Fediverse is my kind of social media. I enjoy it the way I have never enjoyed Facebook, Reddit, Instagram or Twitter.
There's something utterly nauseating about being offered services to attract me to a platform for the pupose of putting me under surveillance and monetizing what I say or do. It feels like being a fucking lab rat. The Fediverse is fundamentally not like that. It reminds me of the early internet, when things were still fairly innocent and corporate-free.
I'm not sure how to ask this without sounding sarcastic, but I genuinely want to know: does it feel different because you have the knowledge that it's not [presently] owned by corporate overlords and that affects your attitude while engaging with the site, or is there some aspect of the content or the experience of browsing the site that's conspicuously different from the commercial platforms?

No concerns about your thesis. As an aside though, kilo-kilometers? I've noticed this trend elsewhere, and once you start seeing it, you can't stop.
To me, it reads as a only-partial adoption of the metric system. Oil change intervals should be listed in megameters, not thousands of kilometers.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me: Solar's cheaper & faster to build & cheaper to run. Why bother building more coal power at all?
Because we don't want to have to throw away all the food in our refrigerators every morning.
