[00:25:59] [1/12] I think people's attitude towards recycling is tied to how easy it is to do. For example, my mums house has [00:25:59] [2/12] - Bin for general waste [00:26:00] [3/12] - bin for cardboard and paper [00:26:00] [4/12] - bin for glass and cans and plastic [00:26:00] [5/12] Which is fine, i happily recycled. Then I bought my own house and my council has: [00:26:00] [6/12] - general waste [00:26:01] [7/12] - bin for plastic [00:26:01] [8/12] - bin for glass [00:26:01] [9/12] - bin for card [00:26:02] [10/12] - bin for paper [00:26:02] [11/12] - bin for tins [00:26:03] [12/12] And as a result, i dont recycle anymore, because they made it too much of a hassle. I'd love to recycle, but when taxes are rising and im being forced to separate my own rubbish (which can be done at the recycling plant), thats where I draw the line. [01:29:58] Yeah same Denmark in the entirey went from like 2 to like i dunno 6 or 7 bins I think... FUCK THAT it all goes in general, if I feels particularly generous maybe I put stuff in the bio one. Also pretty sure it been proven that doing at with robots at the plant is both cheeper and more effective even, so it is just stupid with this many bins [01:46:07] Yeah, you can't discount the whole US ethos in the 50s and 60s of 'better and more convenient living through science and chemistry'. Every kind of gadget got thrown at our consumer market with the promise of an easier and wealthier life. [01:46:24] There's probably a good wiki idea in there, actually... [09:32:36] Wikimedia RU is shutting down [09:32:49] Russian Wikipedia itself will continue to exist [10:56:41] Any broader implications for this? I'm admittedly uneducated/uninformed on this topic. [10:59:41] Probably not much user-facing, since ru.wikiepdia.org will still exist; it's likely that there will just be less people working directly on RU behind the scenes. [11:00:39] yeah [11:01:43] they were like community support made into non-commercial org, not representing Wikimedia itself in a any way [11:04:26] but one might think the blocking of Wikipedia will follow [12:35:17] blocking of wikipedia? you mean RU will block wikipedia or? [13:01:16] talks about Kremlin wanting to block Wikipedia been going for over 10 years now, but it went on first plane recently since a lot of other platforms are blocked now + they've been issuing fines to Wikimedia (lol) for not deleting/changing info (censorship) [13:11:34] https://waysofdarkness.miraheze.org/wiki/Ways_of_Darkness:Code_of_Conduct_%26_Content_Policy Does this seem like a reasonable Code of Conduct & Content Policy? I just wrote it. [13:43:09] Or is it perhaps too vague, ambiguous and open to interpretation? [15:09:49] didn't they ban some wikipedia pages a while ago? [15:10:13] Yeah, they've issued blocks to specific pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedia_pages_banned_in_Russia [15:24:55] wait I thought Wikimedia ignored fines? [15:50:14] Idk apparently the Russian Govt sent a letter to Wikimedia to take down the Invasion of Ukraine article but the WMF said no. Its on the RU village pump somewhere but I cant find it because everything is in russian lol [16:03:22] that one I heard about, I mean the article you linked losts other cases [16:52:28] there have been talks of also making a Russian wikipedia (RuPedia) that would be managed by the ministry of education for use as a reference by all government institutions as a tool to reference to, except editing will be limited to only those working in universities, research institutes and government branches, as well as possibly uni students. [16:57:23] IIRC that idea was put forward by Роскомнадзор (Roskomnadzor, Russian FCC (if you are american) / Ofcom (if you are in the UK)) because Alexander Zharov is a control freak. [16:59:34] remember this is what Wikipedia.org would return when ran through the RKN block validator. Do note the lit layout. [17:00:08] Didnt they already try their own wikipedia type site? [17:01:37] There are a few semi-internal gov wikis working and a scholar thing but I am not sure they tried a full Russian Wikipedia thing yet. [17:04:55] http://diggipedia.ru/index.php oh yea, here's a cool UrbEx Russian wiki with a old skin [17:28:50] [1/2] I'll teach 10people to earn $50k within a week but you will pay me 10% of your profit when you receive it. Note only interested people should apply, send me a DM or drop a message let's get started by asking (HOW) via WhatsApp [17:28:50] [2/2] +1 (707) 831-7330 [17:29:20] @Discord Moderators ^ spamBot [17:35:15] Dealt with, thanks [20:14:33] I don't know about you all, but I think it should be illegal to sell computer monitors 15 inches or more in diag without a VESA compatible mount
