how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.

Yes, there was a famous thread on Reddit where somebody was experiencing lots of weird stuff, asked a question like this, and it turned out to be CO poisoning

Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.

Much like the case of Reddit, Musk might want to reflect on who actually produces all the content he's guarding so jealously, and ask himself what's likely to happen to the value of his site if he makes it difficult for millions of us to write all his content for free

Yes, I got ground down by the same same discourse and tropes on post after post. I got especially enraged by "Came here to say this", which added literally nothing of value to the debate but would usually, somehow, have loads of upvotes

20-minute brisk walks can dramatically reduce depression risk, research finds. Findings remained consistent even after accounting for factors such as sex, education, age, smoking and alcohol use.

It's a shame we have so many people trying to prevent these changes by demanding that their driving has to come first.

ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy
An instance is like an independent version of Reddit
Each Reddit (instance) has its own set of subreddits (called communities)
Whichever instance you're on, you can access communities in almost any other instance
So in sum... Just sign up to an instance, subscribe to communities that interest you, and don't overthink it!

"Why does Coca Cola keep making all those single-use plastic bottles? Sure can't be anything to do with me and all the Coke I drink". This attitude really isn't helped by articles like the one OP linked.

Does anyone know what is a good cycling computer? All I need is good GPS/mapping features that doesn't connect to my phone what so ever. I don't need fitness functions at all
I don't think you'll find one without fitness functions, but on all of them you can largely ignore the fitness functions.
For mapping, what functions do you need, and what's your budget? You can get cheaper units that just show a map (and perhaps overlay a preplanned route) o'r more expensive units that do true satnav-style navigation and can re-route on the move (eg Hammerhead). Knowing your budget would make this easier.
(And with all that said, probably your best option is an old Android phone off eBay and a handlebar mount to run one of the many mapping programs)

The first couple are widely held to be the least good. I'd suggest jump into the Night Watch set (Guards Guards etc) or the Granny Weatherwax set (Wyrd Sisters etc) - they're widely held to be good starting points
(Edit: I appear to be fond of the phrase "widely held" today...)

How to find communities kn different instances.
A good starting point is to search lemmyverse.net/communities and then search for the community within Liftoff. If you find a community such as, say, "news" hosted at lemmy.world then search for ![email protected] (including the !)

We are engaged in a mutually beneficial, parasitic relationship with nature
Except the trees would survive just fine without us. It's not really symbiotic

Approximately 75% of accidents resulting in pedestrian fatalities occur during periods of dawn, dusk, or night
Saying it's pedestrian visibility is victim blaming, and putting the onus to act on those hurt. If it's legal for a pedestrian to be near the road, the driver should be anticipating their presence and driving accordingly
