YES, methane stays in the atmosphere a shorter duration as methane, but most of it naturally breaks down into CO2 which then stays in the atmosphere just as long as all the other CO2. It is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Don’t worry, your pessimism isn’t totally misplaced. See that big “natural gas” line?

Natural gas is just a more palatable word for methane, and burning methane is still putting an enormous amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. But methane by itself is like 10x worse than CO2 and the EPA estimates as much as 10% of all methane for domestic use ends up in the atmosphere. Fun!

Thanks, I’m downloading it now!

Newsblur right now. I don’t want ads, and I like the f-droid disabled the intrusive options from the playstore.

Any other reader recs? Not married to it by any means, I like it well enough. I don’t like that I can’t browse by folder or by everything without a premium subscription though. $99/year is extreme for my uses, wish there was a more palatable option for intermediate users. Still, it’s easy enough to jump between topics.

I was thinking today how ridiculously accurate silicone valley (the show) has turned out to be. It feels like CEOs and mid level managers all watched that show and completely missed the fact that it was SATIRE.

Literally why most of Hollywood is striking right now. It amazes me the hoops people will jump through to convince themselves they aren’t being taken advantage of.

A quick Google search will show that Zoom has a ton of encryption and spyware vulnerability concerns. I also did not say Teams was more secure, just that the already built in MFA that Microsoft is requiring helps combat that, and again…included.

I suspect that’s actually part of the problem. Zoom is being ditched for teams left and right - so many enterprise companies already have Office on all their machines on the network. Why would they continue to pay for zoom (who I believe jacked up their prices to capitalize on the COVID influx) when teams is included in their software suite and serves the exact same function, with additional functionality? Not saying teams is as good/better/worse than zoom, but it serves the same purpose. There are also concerns over zooms security, which isn’t helped by a huge inrease in cyber attacks just about everywhere - that’s also very problematic for zoom since Teams already requires MFA through authenticator to help prevent the latter.

The Zoom peak declining combined with a competitor rapidly growing means they’re losing money, and of course the only solution to that is to force employees back into the office. I mean what else could you possibly do? There’s simply no other solution to this problem. They’ve tried nothing so far and it hasn’t worked so, really theor hand has been forced.

7 pro is my favorite phone ove ever owned, finally unseating the v30 which was criminally underrated at the time. I wish there was something better that wasn’t made by Google, but I have always been disappointed with my Samsung devices (Galaxy Note OG, Galaxy s7edge, S9). I felt trapped by them and they always had SO MUCH BLOAT. The s7 was the best of the bunch. I’ve had about as many pixels (2pro, 3pro, 6, 7 pro). They’ve all gotten better with each iteration, but I saw no reason to even consider a pixel 4 or 5. 6 was a huge step up but had some build quality issues. Overall I liked the design choices. I would still have my six but I was having a battery issue that couldn’t be fixed so they let me trade it in and shaved $100 off the 7pro for me in lieu of doing an RMA that late into the life cycle. 7 pro is excellent. I won’t be getting a new phone until this one is dead.

I meant specifically voyager and infinity, I’m way too turned off by Syncs tracking and ad filled cash grab antica. Hard pass.

I’m just counting the days until Boost for Lemmy releases but I feel you. The UI of infinity is very nice, and the feature customization is solid. I’ve been comparing all new apps to connect since I found it, and it’s still the one I keep coming back to. It has less polish but it checks all the feature boxes for me! Infinity is the only other app I’ve added to my home screen though, I could see it worming it’s way in.

Damn voyager, sync, infinity all within like 24 hours of each other!

Never heard of voyager previously but I’ll give it a shot! Liking infinity a lot too. Both your apps should copy connects feature of blocking users and instances right from the post. It’s super handy, especially when you realize someone is spamming, just give them the ol block and forget about it.

Oh thanks for the tip! I didn’t even realize there was a codeberg link in the post.

Is this only for iOS so far? Not seeing it on f-droid or play store.

Dude I knew Sync had fanboys but the shit I have seen today is absolute insanity.

Happily, thank you for not forcing a subscription model!

Highly recommend thunder or Connect as well if you aren’t satisfied with liftoff. I’ve used all (I think?) The android apps and those two go back and forth for my favorite. Thunder looks slickest but connect is the most stable and easy to navigate imo.

Would you fucking stop please?

Honestly I’d be cool with that and an option by the poster to disable comments if they want. If someone wants to show their body off, let them. If it’s not a body I want to see I can scroll past it and say nothing like a normal, polite human being. If the OP wants to tolerate the comments, fine, but I don’t want anyone posting themselves and getting shamed/shit on for it.

This is correct.
