Reddit CEO Steve Huffman Calls Moderators ‘Landed Gentry’
Interesting spin, considering that posts about the blackout are some of the top upvoted posts in some of the subreddits with 80-90% upvote rate. But sure it is the evil unpaid mods.

France’s protests over a police killing, briefly explained
Protest and all that is good, but why burn innocent people’s cars on the street? This in no way helps their cause, quiet the opposite...

EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!
Reply in thread
It will be a pretty major redesign of the chasis and body to accommodate a removable battery and the cover, so I think it would make little economical sense to maintain two designs for every phone sold here.

Will there be an iOS app for Lemmy?
Reply in thread
There are between 10 and 20 people actively working on the app in various capacities, there was an update on team structure couple of days ago - https://lemmy.ml/post/1372165 It is the original dev who is stepping down and who says he wasn’t actively involved with development for a while.

New study suggests that lab-grown meat produces up to 25 times more CO2
Is this something that maturation of the technology would fix? Currently it is very much handcrafted as a proof of concept in the lab. Article mentions that currently cultures are purified same as pharmaceuticals. Would food grade be less resource intensive?

Discuss banning in lemmy.world
What does this do? Reposts across instances and communities? I think it is very spammy and leads to a lot of duplicates when subscribed to multiple communities on the same topic.

We Just Got The First Evidence of Two Planets Sharing The Same Orbit
It’s a planet and a planet forming disc, but super interesting nevertheless. I wonder how stable a Trojan configuration would be with planets and not just a bunch of asteroids.

How some people afford to travel around the world for months without working?
It really depends on a lot of factors. I just came back from 10 month overland travel of South America. It is cheap over there - much cheaper than back home most of the time. We saved with my girlfriend for couple of years, rented our house and went for it. On the road we met all kinds of people. A LOT of European retirees. You can live quiet the life over there with the couple thousand euro western European pensions. Some of them go for a few months each year, some have been traveling for years already. Lots of younger people just did what we did - saved for some time and then went for it. Average salary in countries like Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, etc can be just a few hundred dollars a month, so not that hard to do better than that. It’s similar on other continents - Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam in Asia; Kenya, Morocco, etc in Africa - popular destination with lower standards of living that makes them easy to travel to for longer. When you travel for weeks and months it also gets cheaper per day compared to when you go on a vacation for 7-10 days - you cook, you can find deals, you travel a lot - not just to the tourist hotspots and traps. Bali can be just as expensive as a western country, but the Indonesian country side is cheap as hell. Having an own house also helps immensely - you do not pay rent in the months and years prior to leaving and after that you collect rent.
Then there are of course people with inheritance, daddy money, trust funds, etc. In all my travels I have not met any yet. They do not tend to go on the longer trips usually.
You can pretty much forget about making it solely through vlogging, blogging and writing for magazines and websites. It can add something every now and the , but there are single digits few normal people that have made it work full time.

Watermelons in my urban garden
Reply in thread
Pretty much every day. The sun is strong during the summer and temperatures are regularly 30-33-35C for weeks. The cloth pots loose a lot of water daily, even with a thick layer of mulch. They are convenient though as they are easy to move and stack during the winter.
