what is the point of using a reusable shopping bag when plastic bags have already been manufactured & are there for convenience?

plastic corpos really fucked us by passing the burden on to us to recycle their garbage, but why should i if they’re manufacturing plastic bags either way? (to clarify, this is out of curiosity. i LOATHE plastic anything in my home & try to minimize is as much as possible)

    Can you advocate for privacy by showing it? Does it work or will people never learn privacy in practice?
  • keep fighting the good fight. it’s worth it.

    i’ve had more friends ask me about lemmy and peertube bc of stuff i share, which is good because that means they’re noticing. no one in my friend group is “into privacy”, but sometimes i like to ask them questions like “what will it take for you to switch from (big tech service) to something else?” & let the discussion flow from there.

    since they aren’t “into privacy”, they’re not aware of how their habits feed the big tech beast, which in turn feeds all these terrible agendas. an example is how they’re against the ICE raids and say things like ACAB, yet they use Ring cameras.

    recently, i’ve had a few friends ask me for alternatives to (big tech service), and one of them even asking for help degoogling!

    it definitely gets hard when you feel like your advocacy has fallen on deaf ears or whatever, but all we can do is lead by example. stay the course <3

  • i was thinking the same thing! i was wondering how fast congress would push through a privacy bill when they keep getting doxxed.

  • [As] The Spanish National Court has sentenced to prison 4 men that hung a dummy of Vinicius on a bridge, considering it a hate crime.
  • one got 22 months & the others got 14 months. they will serve no prison time & will be on probation for 2 years. they have some fines to pay & issued an apology to Vini.

    i guess spain goes light on hate crime sentencing?

  • Are barefoot cycling shoes the next step in cycling shoe design?
  • why did i read this whole article? this is all you need to know:

    “In cycling, 'barefoot-style' doesn't mean riding without shoes, or even ultra-minimalism, but rather refers to design elements such as flat soles, no heel lift, and roomy toe boxes that allow for more natural foot function.”

    just ride barefoot if you want nAtUrAl FuNcTiOn, shitass.

  • chain-L is the BEST!!! yeah it may seem expensive for +$10, but it lasts for ages! am still on my first bottle from the mid-00s. every season i help a friends clean their drivetrains, it gets used. it's the only chain lube i ever recommend.
