shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

See thats where im with OP.

Lots of people do switch every 1-2 years.

And swapping a battery costs idk 40€ and an afternoon, full reset costs nothing and takes 20 minutes. Why would i generate that much trash and spend a thousand bucks on the latest shit thats 99% the same instead?

shapesandstuff, to news in Commentary: We face a world potentially running out of antibiotics

This has been known and warned for probably decades now.

But still we continue to “preemptively” use it in vast quantities in the meat, milk and egg industry instead of using sustainable or even humane conditions for the animals in question.

Guess who gets to eat antibiotics evey day, increasing likelihood of multi resistant germs?

Meat eaters. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8565197/

Nothing will be done about it until its too late. As is tradition. Profits are more important than world wide disaster. Again.

shapesandstuff, to news in German politician held after Nazi slogan complaint

He was detained hours before he was due to gain immunity as an Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP when the parliament was sworn in on Monday afternoon.

Is it just me or is that sentence mangled a bit?

Regardless, I’m glad we’re seeing more and more consequences for these types of politician’s actions. Sadly most of the time, there’s either insufficient evidence or too many systemic issues to convict.

Like the recently leaked police chat, filled to the brim with antisemitism and nazi admiration was deemed “partially satire” and as such covered by freedom of art.

I haven’t done that, but when looking something up from a long text on paper, I get the same feeling I do when I hit ctrl+f. Like theres no keyboard obviously, but i feel ctrl+f

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Lifting is ok, going TO the gym sucks.

I’ve always had sporty hobbies so at least I’m somewhat in shape. Over the years I did karate, parkour, bouldering, football, volleyball, and ive been deeeep onto hema for a long time now.

I just love having an activity that is basically “playing” but very physical. Even when i feel like I’m not progressing, I’m still having a good time and get to completely exhaust myself once a week.

I was also shocked to learn the US have over the counter antiobiotics that people pop for random illness and minor cuts/scrapes. Pretty much unthinkable here (EUN)

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?

Don’t take a nap today ;)

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I know, thats why it’s so annoying.
Just two more reasons not to do it.
I had a oneplus 2 since 2015 or so until upgrading to a 9 Pro in 2021.
Several important apps had locked me out and battery life slowly became a noticable problem. I would’ve been fine for another 3-5 years if the lineage image had still supplied android security updates.

Please don’t tell me you’re gonna bring up the stupid soy fields in the rain forest argument :'D

I know, i am vegan for those reasons and more :)

Yes, some topical AB are available according to a quick online search

Some topical antibiotics can be purchased as over-the-counter (OTC) medicines.
However, it is always recommended that you consult a medical expert before purchasing and using any medication.
Topical antibiotics are used to treat skin wounds, scrapes, scratches, and minor burns.
They are available in ointment, cream, spray, or powder forms and are used to prevent infection in topical skin ailments.
Some over-the-counter topical antibiotics include: Bacitracin (Neosporin)
Polymyxin (Polysporin)
Neomycin (Neosporin Plus Pain Relief)
Pramoxine
Benzoyl peroxide (Proactiv)

tough luck. Sounds like it was straining to keep up with background apps / OS updates rather than a broken battery.
Guess trouble shooting is half the battle in these cases.

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in What app do you use for Mastodon?

Ohhh other apps support that?

It was kind of the mastodon dealbreaker for me. No continuous feed based on tags or topics, hard to find people, and some buggy scrolling

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in What online games can be played by 2 users?

Supremacy 1914 works in browser and mobile afaik: www.supremacy1914.com
Neptune’s Pride, recommended by PeopleMakeGames: np.ironhelmet.com/
There’s a mobile wrapper: github.com/Ethrel/NPA-Mobile

shapesandstuff, to asklemmy in What online games can be played by 2 users?

There are a couple of these war games, where you control a nation and expand, make alliances, break them etc to gain superiority. Similar to HOI but browser/mobile based.

Generally more than 2 players iirc but you can probably play together against the others
