So apparently Peertube works well, in part because the structure of the two platforms map onto each other well. Communities -> Posts -> Comments = Channels -> Videos -> Comments.

I experimented once, and from memory you can definitely subscribe to a peertube channel here. But I don’t know my way around peertube so I don’t know how well it works.

OceanSoap, in Which music streaming app should I use?

Do you mean because they host Joe Rogan?

sylverstream, in Which music streaming app should I use?

Tried many, but stuck with Deezer as it has got excellent pod cast support.

Had many issues with offline support with Spotify, and their support was horrible.

Communist, in Atheists/agnostics of Lemmy, do you believe in the existence of souls?
@Communist@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t think soul has a good enough definition to say whether or not it does exist.

Soul kinda just means nothing to me.

NENathaniel, (edited ) in Which music streaming app should I use?
@NENathaniel@vlemmy.net avatar

I’ve used Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music

Id rank them:

Apple Music

Spotify

Amazon Music (hot take I know)

Deezer

YT Music

Tidal (expensive and didn’t like the UI

On Android/Windows btw

BendyLemmy, (edited ) in Atheists/agnostics of Lemmy, do you believe in the existence of souls?
@BendyLemmy@lemmy.ml avatar

I think ‘soul’ is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.

So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.

As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don’t think they can survive physical death.

ch00f, in What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?

Switching from a 5mpg truck to a 10mpg truck does more for the environment than switching from 40mpg car to a 55mpg car.

Linssiili,

How is that misleading, isn’t it true?

ferrousfair,

More outrageous sounding, switching from a 5 mpg truck to a 10 mpg truck saves more gas than switching from a 50 mpg car to a 100 mpg car

youtu.be/oLQmwOX6Xds

Linssiili,

I still don’t understand hot that statement is “misleading”?

ferrousfair,

Well a lot of people would think gaining 50 mpg is way better than gaining 5 mpg, since it’s 10x as much, but really it just shows that you can’t use mpg as a unit to compare like that

absGeekNZ,
@absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz avatar

This is why the rest of the world uses l/100km (liters per 100 kilometers), the comparison is linear and thus comparable between different vehicles in a simple manner.

  • 5mpg = 20g/100mi
  • 10mpg = 10g/100mi
  • 40mpg = 2.5g/100mi
  • 55mpg = 1.82g/100mi

The difference between 10 and 20g is easy to see as a lot bigger than the difference between 2.5 to 1.82g. 15 is a much bigger number than 5, but that 15 is relative to the initial mpg rating

In fact going from 5mpg to 10mpg is better than going from 10mpg to 100mpg, a 10g saving vs a 9g saving…the more you know

Therefore,

Environmental damage from emissions doesn’t care about relative efficiency, 15 free miles is objectively more than 5 free miles.

absGeekNZ,
@absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz avatar

It you travel 50 miles at 5mpg, you use 10g of fuel At 10mpg you use 5g…a saving of 5g

40mpg uses 1.25g 55mpg uses 0.91g a saving of 0.34g much less of a saving.

Yeah but if you’re already driving the more efficient vehicles to begin with…

planforrain,

but if we are trying to save the world getting the lowest mpg vehicles off of the road first will have a stronger effect

if you already drive a 30mpg car and you are ready to upgrade then definitely look for better efficiency but I think we should have incentives in place to get cars that operate at for instance 16 mpg (my first car for instance, 1996 Chevy blazer, now deceased) replaced by even 10 year old models which are much more efficient

ch00f,

The ask was

What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

nothacking, in What can Lemmy federate with?

Mastodon for sure, you can even use mastodon bots from lemmy, and there will be limited compatibilty witth anything else using activity pub.

BendyLemmy, in What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
@BendyLemmy@lemmy.ml avatar

‘true fact’.

  • Facts cannot be anything except for true.
  • Anyone who uses the two words ‘true fact’ together cannot be trusted because they know neither the meaning of the word ‘true’ or the word ‘fact’.

Oh how I miss the before times.

JackGreenEarth,

Facts are just objective statements, which can be either true or false, but whichever they are it is objective and not dependant on the observer.

I mean, it’s a semantic argument, and semantics is subjective, but that’s probably how the people who say ‘true fact’ are defining fact.

koreth,

Counterpoint: True Facts is a great series of humorous nature documentaries.

WagnasT,

Imagine trying to move by riding a unicycle backwards and throwing up through a giant straw. That is how the nautilus do.

Therefore,

I’m so sorry but it’s either/or & neither/nor. Gotta follow through with the negation.

Hey, you should be able to search for it, this may help you: lemdit.com/post/18035

I am able to find it from vlemmy: https://lemdit.com/pictrs/image/793db052-d902-40b2-8e41-f9b2fc41a402.png

Note that it won’t show up in the search results if you are not logged in.

NBCooks,

Basically the community shows up when I search from worlds as over 1k subs but just 9 from vlemmy. I guess that is the number of local subs from each instance?

delendum, (edited )
@delendum@lemdit.com avatar

Yes, it just means that there are 9 people from vlemmy that have subbed to that community. This bit is a bit confusing, for example if nobody had subbed to it yet from vlemmy then it would show 0 subs.

NBCooks,

You are right. Maybe it is an app issue? Let me see if I can figure out how to post a screenshot

wr90, in Why is my food making lightning?

Oh the wooden handle must be. Take out the spoon.

PriorProject, in I'm considering hosting an instance for personal and friend use. Have some questions.

Rule 3, this is not a community for Lemmy support. There are Lemmy support and Lemmy admin communities, try asking there.
