Thankfully, I haven’t noticed excessive farting in Archie. But I still have questions. Is my cat farting more or less than a small dog, say, a Chihuahua? What do cat farts usually smell like? And at what point is some farting too much farting?

Jackie Flynn Mogensen is a breaking news reporter at Scientific American. Before joining SciAm, she was a science reporter at Mother Jones, where she received a National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Award for Excellence in Science Communications in 2024. Mogensen holds a master’s degree in environmental communication and a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences from Stanford University. She is based in New York City.

Yeah, it does imply that, which is why they compared the top 3 oil companies to the top 3 environmental groups.

Together, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron spent $2.1 million on “social issue” ads on Facebook and Instagram between late July and late October 2026. In the same period, three of the top climate and environmental groups – the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace – spent just over $846,000, less than half the amount spent by oil companies.

But also, it doesnt matter because they could have focused on Shell alone who outspent all three Climate groups combined

Look, I’m tired of Jefferies smug “I tweeted about it, what more do you want” face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I’m seeing here on Lemmy.

Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that’s what he’s gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.

Personally I’m a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.

For me, for now, I’m just glad we slowed the bleeding.

Reminder that gay marriage failed in California back in '08.

People will come around, but it takes time to overcome ignorance at this scale.

For now, it’s on all of us to do what we can to support the community and highlight how these injustices impact real people - hate thrives on ignorance.

Can signal handle separate conversations between two people? Wouldn’t want to clutter our texts with a grocery list.

Any tips on a “grocery list” app to replace Keep? Need something that can sync between mine and my wife’s phones - E2EE nice to have but not strictly required.

A lot of the Keep replacements I see posted are just fancy text editors full of markdown formatting junk and I just want a good working checklist that moves checked items away.

PieFed.zip did a big password reset recently, so here I am with a fresh account. No regrets - these accounts are disposable. Karma is meaningless. Just post.

My Pixel 7 would have to catch fire to get me to upgrade. Google is clearly trying to run the pixels into the ground. I’ll give it another couple of years then probably switch to Motorola if they still support GrapheneOS.

The 10 added… magnetic Qi2 charging

A $3 metal sticker can allow any phone to use all the new magnetic doohickeys on the market. The wireless charger isn’t 25W, but if you want to charge quickly you should plug in anyways.

I use one of those stickers on my phone and the Anker qi2 battery packs work perfectly fine (albeit a little slow)

I don’t think the damage done by the current US administration is limited to the borders of any single country, but society at large.

As long as Trump retains veto power and the ability to issue executive orders, all Democrats can do is slow the bleeding, unless Republicans grow a spine.

Even the most useless Democratic agenda is less harmful to our society than the burning and pillaging of our communities and social liberties carried out by Republicans over the last two years.

The question I ask every time I see this posted:

Who has access to my data at rest?

Ive got a Raspberry Pi (from back when they were cheap) and a USB HDD that chugs along just fine in the background. My upload speed is utter shit (rarely exceeds 1MB/s) but I’ve still uploaded terabytes of data. All you need is the ability to just leave the server running in the background.

Sure thing! But then what are we gonna do about Vivek?
