Thanks for sharing, that was a nice read. There is something incredible about standing at the base of a 90m tree, awe inspiring. I can't help to think back to a time when the southern parts of Australia were awash with giant trees, and then the Europeans came and could not cut them down fast enough.
Is there anywhere that shows what forest coverage would have looked like in Australia prior to European settlement?
Corruption or negligence? And does it make much difference? The impact is the same. A huge waste of tax payer money.
I agree with this sentiment, so much stuff posted on there is just recycled information from different twitter accounts with nothing really of substance.
I just finished watched Alone: Australia, one guy didn't eat for over 20 days. Fasting may be a good option for avoiding needing to poo. I'd imagine you'd have to start that process maybe a day or two early. To get the best effect.
Yup, agree totally. Only way it can work is if the org running it is a not for profit with great transparency, which hopefully is what we will see with the likes of Lemmy etc.
There is an argument to make that things like reddit or even Facebook (original fb, not what it is now) should be publicly owned services. They CAN provide value to society, similar to how a town hall can.
What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I've noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.
I don't really understand this sentiment, I'd rather pay a subscription for a service like fb / insta / reddit than have ads and my identity sold to the highest bidder.
Social networks are expensive to run, the idea they should be "free" is half the problem.
Though of course the enterprises behind them make far more money through advertising and mining user data than they would through a subscription model.
I was using Jerboa on Android but have since swapped to just using the browser interface, no app. I have installed the site as a PWA and it seems to work pretty well!
