Say hello to biodegradable microplastics: Plant-based polymers that can disappear within seven months

Reply in thread

Not a scientist so couldn't quite tell from the article if this would work for its use case; but all of the prepared / cooked food I see at my grocery store is packed in plastic containers. They all have shelf life of that day / maybe a couple of days (this is like a buffet + packed / prepared meals, not sure what exactly to describe it as). I always thought it would be great if that could be less wasteful, it'd definitely make me feel more likely to buy it instead of all being in single use plastic containers.

Is there a sub somewhere between shitty food porn and food porn?

The defederation is one-way; lemmy.world isn't defederating beehaw.org. lemmy.world users can still see the community, and even still post to it (I assume, not sure if lemmy.world took changes to stop that but, as you can see it even has posts from local lemmy.world users as of 2 months ago, but the last content from anyone outside the instance is 7 months old). However, they will never make it to beehaw.org and thus won't be federated anywhere else (only users on lemmy.world would ever see it).

That note was very interesting to me, because there's also Pulsar which is what I have been trying out, which also relates to Atom. I'm not sure if "fork" is the right word as I don't know the complete history, but installing packages uses atom packages / github sources so it's fairly similar. I wonder what led to this other one

FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL Full Trailer

Reply in thread

I remember watching people going through the story saying something to the vein of: "This seems super important, I'll be interested in seeing the payout later in the story". They'll be waiting for quite a while it seems (specifically for the cost she's meant to be paying for seeing). But they get around everything by saying "Ah, magic aether ink, of course". I guess the ridges of stone also have corner aether or something, I don't know, imagine they'll just hand wave most of it

Phantasmagoria (PC, 1995)

I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn't quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.

About the troll problem

Reply in thread

If you can give me any more details, let me know. Looking at your instance, I only see two communities from lemmy.today, and one looks like it was deleted, so should only be their announcements one. Is the one you're having trouble interacting with the potentially deleted one?

Or do you mean users rather than communities? If you're trying to report threads or comments, are they potentially already removed from blahaj and then it won't let you interact with them?

To sum up some things about cross instance interaction as of this date:

  • reports do propagate to lemmy
  • moderator actions do not propagate back
  • direct messages don't work cross instance

Thoughts about sublinks ?

Reply in thread

I always think about the post I saw a while back that was like "I use KeepassXC, a fork of KeepassX, a port of Keepass". That seems very likely to be true in regards to the fediverse as well.

But I think that's great, as a contributor to one platform I don't necessarily see it as "one software above all", which might be bad to say, but more like we're all sailing on the much larger ship Fediverse, and it's been great to see so much back and forth between the different ones, for example one person helping get pixelfed's avatars federating, or piefed's blogs, which helped reduce page load sizes for mbin by 40%. It's quite possible we're all just slowly contributing to a lot of learned lessons for a yet unstarted software.

All that said, mastodon does have a ton of staying power, as you said. Once they fully support groups, and lemmy has stated they never plan to support microblogs, it's quite possible that mastodon will be a very solid experience for most of what people are looking for.

Look up at the sky! It's the aurora borealis! No wait, it's just Makoto shooting off a firework 🎆

Hopefully people are a little happier that things are happening, but I guess it's still very low action-wise. The mutants were never a threat at all to the main cast, and that's spelled out very plainly by Zara. They can just stroll through the streets and clear any out on their way, while the actual guards, mercenaries, armies, can't even handle a couple, and not without losses.

Can clearly see all the important people realizing just how powerful Makoto and crew are now, especially with Sairitz upgrading the honorifics used when speaking to Makoto. Hopefully means that Makoto will get doormat'd less often, but I guess we'll see.

The transmission restoration felt a bit lackluster in the anime, but I guess it's not that important. I feel like it wasn't really clear what he did, not that the novel makes it any clearer, but obviously I think Tomoe is supposed to be implying he didn't destroy the devices to disrupt telepathy, but instead shot a spell at every single person in the entire area to block or counter the device, that was my understanding at least, I could be mistaken.

And now we see that it was all a ruse! Oh my goodness, finally, this is what I've been waiting for. I love that this whole thing was just a distraction from the actual plot. Seems like the demons had a lot going on while we were stuck in Rotsgard, who knows what is happening in the rest of the hyuman world.


I didn't really like Aqua and Eris in the novel, but I actually completely flipped my opinion in the anime. Their comic relief is pretty good.

Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season • TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2 - Episode 20 discussion

Wait a minute, with the ice spell last week and the stage play this week... Am I in a gag anime?

There's a lot I forgot about the source material, including Shiki's theory that the attack on the empire was also a diversion based on his views of which hero is a long term threat rather than a short term one.

Also is nice that we finally get to see the demiplane residents actually do something after all the training they've been doing. Convenient to have a small army in your pocket.

And not sure how to feel about the goddess meeting. Perhaps sad he didn't get a punch in, but not for lack of effort at least? An interesting relationship where it seems they're clearly at odds, and vocal about it, but can't really do anything against each other easily too.

A new study has discovered a correlation between the level of microplastics in the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium), and the consumption of chewing gum, carbonated beverages, and tea drinks.

Reply in thread

The reference does seem to indicate teabags, but mentions it a lot along side carbonated drinks (it also mentions "milk tea", but I'm not sure what it means by that)

Furthermore, there is evidence proving the contamination of MPs in teabags and it has been clarified that bottle-production and filling processes could contribute to the existence of MPs in drinks

I'm not sure what a good source is, but I do remember a while back articles about those pyramid teabags containing microplastics.

Edit: I guess to jump to the source of the reference of this article, this is the report on MPs in tea

How are federated channels from Peertube moderated on Lemmy?

An ActivityPub group actor defining its moderators is a specific implementation of the AP protocol. You can find the spec details lemmy uses here. An Mbin contributor recently implemented this to line up with Lemmy, but whether other fediverse software do or will is up to them, as it's more of a community proposal than an official implementation of the spec. So when you see no moderators from other software, they likely just do not implement the linked FEP

I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again!

Any reason MATE over Xcfe? Just curious if the performance is close or MATE is better at things, not trying to question your decisions. I have a >9 year old PC at this point and installed Cinnamon on it but was finding it a bit laggy. I tried out the other editions but am sticking with LMDE for now, but sort of feel like I don't really need nice animations, I just need more CPU for faster compile times, haha

Cassette Rules

I took screenshots of this convo as well 😆 Picked this game up when it went on sale for the multiplayer update, been having a fun time. Not too far into it though, been taking my time catching everything and ranking everything up first.

So the Hibiki power up scene was one I had been waiting to see animated to see if I could make more sense out of it. And the result was... nothing, they didn't show anything that made it any clearer, I guess there was nothing to learn about it. Unless I try to dig up who that voice actor was, was it the same as a character? Might just be a coincidence, though

And that power, for her, after already being considered dangerous long term by the demons 😬

Well this episode felt like another tease since Io also proves not to be much a threat, continuing the trend... Gonna have to wait a week to see how Sofia does instead.

I forgot to mention it last week but I did not recall reading anything about Lancer having a glow up from harvesting some souls or something. This whole time I had no idea who that even was at the end of the OP, I only thought of him in his smol form.


Also off-topic I've been playing Cassette Beasts for weeks now and got a bootleg (shiny) Tokusect which I've been using in honor of Makoto's suit

What does Lemmy do better than Reddit?

Reply in thread

In the end it's mostly an agreement on how moderation actions should and are allowed to propagate for activity pub groups, which you can learn more about here https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md#group-moderation

The tl;dr is there's a set way of saying these specific users are allowed to send actions such as delete on these specific posts, and software that implements groups (communities, to lemmy) ideally implement it in the same way. Of course, someone could always make a software that denies all remote moderation actions for instance, so it's always up to those implementing the AP spec.

Lemmy has a large userbase, so generally probably gets to decide a lot of these things, such as how moderators are listed when getting information on communities, and other software will have to choose to follow along to be able to work with the large userbase or raise concerns/give feedback if needed
