netflix on linux firefox comes to mind. Just changing the useragent shows that it's not a technical problem.

This feels closer to the solution, but again a mountain is natural, but will be there for 1000 years.

But you see the arbitrary distinction that you’re setting up by differentiating man as separate from nature. I’d argue that humans themselves are “natural” creatures. But every human alive is “man made”

This is the kind of shit that keeps me up at night. Thinking about all the casual horror in the world. I’ve read about these “slaver” ants that kidnap eggs from another colony only to raise them as slaves for the rest of their life. Or those wasps that lay their eggs inside other living insects which then hatch and consume the host.

There are so so many insects on earth, so these fucked up horrors are just happening on a massive scale all the time all around us.

I concur. My gut is telling me there is a difference, but when I try to articulate it, I can’t.

Kind of like that senator who couldn’t define pornography, but her know it when he sees it.

I’m also thinking beyond housing. It seems like such an arbitrary distinction to say that things humans make aren’t “natural “ but things that animals make are.

Not to be too pedantic but aren’t we as humans part of nature? Therefore what we make is a direct natural creation?

Is it the scale that makes things unnatural? I’ve never seen animal cities, but a single anthill has a higher population density than any city, and it’s 100% not “naturally “ occurring.

I think that’s needful things

Kbin was actually MORE confusing for me because of the whole 'magazines' thing.

I did and still do. The concept at a high level makes sense, but the application leaves me with questions.

The most confusing thing is that there is no "Lemmy" site. Rather its a federation of independent sites sharing content and comments. This is probably good practice for the transition to web 3.0 stuff. (and its the first time that I've ever thought that Web3.0 was legit and not just a bunch of marketing bs).

Once you're on an instance, the rest SHOULD be transparent to the user.

But there are many technical hurdles (posts from unfederated instances missing, finding communities on another instance). There IS a learning curve where before there was almost none (just sign up at Reddit.com and start browsing).

To be fair, Lemmy is not mature, and the benefits of the fediverse are worth the learning curve. But that friction definitely could be reduced.

Man this fediverse shit is confusing as hell...

Peanut butter and vitamins. High energy density, so you only have to eat a bit. But protein to sustain you. If you’re doing strenuous exercise, may want to bring some of those gels for running. I guess that’s basically a pb and j without bread.
