Yeah, I was think there is easier momentum for non-hardware tech. Social media is mostly its users so if they leave there isn’t much. Disney showed some of the weaknesses of streaming services but they’re aren’t many non-US alternatives. There are YouTube alternatives but there most of the content creators are entrenched there. Most of the rest of Google’s offerings have European alternatives.

I wish there was momentum to boycott US tech companies
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?2·3 days agoWhat specifically in the original post did you have issue with? There’s not a lot too that post, and you have agreed with part of it, so it seems like it would be faster to list out the issues
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?7·3 days agoHere’s a review focused to some extent on how accurate the science in that book is:
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-not-to-die-review#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2
The author seems pretty focused on pushing a single message so I’d be careful with that message myself. (As someone who aspires to have a diet that’s mostly vegetables with a few cheat days for meat.)
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?4·3 days agoFruits tend to get listed as low GI supporting the poster’s statement.
Also, you’re simplifying the chemistry and metabolic pathways to the point they sound the same when they’re obviously different. I’m not an expert but I as I understand it table sugar is short chain and good to go, fruits (if they’re not pre cooked) tend to be a bit more complicated and have a few more steps along the way (and I assume each requires some energy to unlock and also result in some chemical energy that isn’t completely digested). Also, what you’re saying goes a lot against what I understand from the carb count on the packet from fibre vs. what your body unlocks. That said, I’m very ignorant and far from an expert
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?7·3 days agoAre you both from the US? It was rough getting used to how much you all like to drown out the food with various sauces

porcoesphino@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Looking for a community for AI skeptics that is more actively moderated than /c/fuckai1·4 days agoI just did a scroll through the posts returned for a search of “gary marcus” and didn’t see too much. His newsletter hits a lot of the main beats if you just want occasional updates when something happens. It doesn’t look too much like a channel exists though
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do companies always need to grow?1·4 days agoOh, I didn’t say I had a preference. And I see your point that one is just a conjugation of the other. I’ve just seen capitalism as a term used more for explanation and when I’ve seen capitalist said it tends to have a negative connotation at best but more often it is half spat out
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do companies always need to grow?2·5 days agoThe question says capitalism (not so loaded term) your answer said capitalist (more loaded term and you’ve taken time to use the loaded part of the term).
That said, I accidentally replied to a question in lemmy.ml so the person asking the question is probably more aligned with your way of thinking and explaining than I am. Sorry about that
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do companies always need to grow?3·5 days agoAn economic model that includes capitalism explains a lot of the world including having some close process analogs in nature.
A capitalist sounds like a label you’re trying to apply in an attempt to label someone as being maximally for profits. A lot of companies admittedly work that way and it’s important to include that concept.
By my reading you’re taking the use of the first term and then saying they are using the second term. I think this is called equivocation.
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?8·9 days agoI’m amazed at how many people found rogan authentic. Is it the same sort of podcasters playing off people’s intuitions, like the fact checker used to?
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?2·9 days agoI’m not very bilingual but I grew up with English and have spent a few months in Latin America.
I noticed that in English I now say Mexico the Spanish way when I’m with local people, but the English way when I’m visiting friends in the US. I always say it the Spanish way in Spanish, and don’t think I use any regional accents.
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why did Homo Sapiens Become House Trained. Rather than controlled?2·9 days agoI’d add “mania” to that list of terms that need defining. They seem to have a specific meaning that’s probably misaligned with most people reading the question:
That doesn’t change the logic I gave
Why? Lemmy seems great
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are police in the USA so heavily tattooed?51·11 days agoI honestly hadn’t noticed this. I see it in ICE though
What if there is a popular joke that relies on bad math that happens to be your question. Then the alignment is understandable and no indication of accuracy. Why use a tool with known issues, and overhead like querying six, instead of using a decent tool like Wolfram alpha?
porcoesphino@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you tired of movie remakes and reboots?3·11 days agoI think your maths is off. If every, or most, popular films in 2010 were remade, I think you would be even more irritated.
The account is two days old!??
I wish there were block lists here like in Bluesky. I name them as groups of why I’m blocking them like “needlessly aggressive”.
