i was still on the outdated OpenBoard, this is great. i’m using it right now

there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting “Proxy videos through Invidious”. it’s turned off now and working fine

how can i find such “obscure” instances, tho? i’ve always picked one from the Invidious’ website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now

also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine

on a side note, I’d never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know

damn, even with seeing the bot around here i forgot to try Piped these days

anyway, i’ve found a solution - i had “proxy videos through Invidious” turned on on Freetube (which was redundant since i’m behind a VPN). i’ve unchecked it and things seem fime now

still, thank you

yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that’s why

no real estate taxes for the first house owned, heavy and progressive taxes starting on the second, is an idea

companies get called people all the time, i’m starting to believe it, but i still think they don’t need shelter, so they shouldn’t be able to aquire a basic human need

so i guess over 20% of houses in Austria, Netherlands, or Denmark have no lights and leaking roofs. if only those people got their own…

ohhhh, i can browse channel playlists, this is great!! the only feature i’ve been missing from this awesome app

that guy Schneegans makes the most beautiful useless rice! i’m tempted to switch to gnome now…

they do. i was not clear, sorry

thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D

funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube’s view

EDIT: re-phrasing

i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i’ve seen mastodon users’ comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube

yes i’ve interacted with mastodon users here through lemmy, but am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

thanks for the clarification!

now i’ll get a mastoson client to follow communities on lemmy, hop on peertube comments from here and hopefully lurk on mastodon from newpipe muAHAHaHahHahah

is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue…?

i’m really exited about this, now i’ll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can’t do on youtube videos!!

yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks

they’re using the platform to denounce the wrongdoings of the owner of said platform. that’s very clever, actually

The big potential for biochar is soil improvement for subsistence farmers, using surplus biomass in situ. So decentralized and highly local.

But initial effort is very significant.

exactly!

This needs nonprofits delivering pyrolysis retorts to rural communities in large numbers and also providing training…

i am so far away from any decision making position of this nature, but this is what i’ve been thinking we collectively need to restore soil and local sustainability

where i live, there is a huge and growing wildfire risk and so public policy is to “erase” undergrowth from the landscape by tilling/buldozzing and burning it. in the quest to retain some of that massive vanishing organic matter, some have been advocating public policy such as what you described but with shredders instead of biochar retorts, since the composting way of feeding soil is much more widespread in the thoughts of the ecologically-minded

although a great tactic in the arsenal, and a huge step forward compared to the present, i fear that simply throwing shredded wood and sticks into the ground, as has been done in some industrial agriculture efforts to reduce ecological damage, will still waste huge amounts of carbon to oxidation given the conditions where such decomposition will happen. has this crossed your mind? if so, i’d like to read your opinion on it

thanks for your reply, i’ve saved the comment for posterity since you so well articulated and summarized things that have been bothering me

biochar is taking it’s time to be widely applied, not much many in the permaculture and regeneration circles in my region use it

a wide scale colaboration could enable a strategy of long term carbon storage through soil sequestration, given other regeneration practices are also present

not even going off that “it’s not enough”, i fear biochar could be touted as some “miraculous solution” in the future and be used by profit-seekers and myopic policy-makers in a way that will fuel further deforestation, like with biomass energy

or Mulch (instead of Cromite) for a Chromium-based choice. by the same group (or person) that’s responsible for Mull

i got stuck on the second screen

i’m not sure if what seems to be a poignant interactive demonstration of internet UX enshitification is shallow/incomplete or depends on javascript/trackers that my browser is blocking. it’s ironic either way
