That hasn’t always been true. This meme is older than Microsoft being open source friendly.

A) I thought it was up to individuals not groups.

B) we can’t even get people to agree the earth is round. You really expect to be able to change individual habits?

So you honestly believe the largest polluters will just stop polluting if consumers change habits?

Because like I cited, the vast majority of pollution comes from corporations. Not people.

Because even if all individuals stopped polluting today magically, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Take that energy you’re using to hold individuals accountable and hold those actually polluting accountable.

EDIT

You seem to want to blame anyone but yourself so you can remain comfortable and do nothing at all to help.

You seem to be holding everyone but the organizations that are actually polluting.

I refuse to put the blame on individuals for climate change 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions

There are plenty of things for individual things people can do, but the responsibility rests on corporations for this mess. And it can’t be individuals to clean it up.

And before someone starts saying that corporations only driven by individual consumerism, what other choice do we have? They literally make things to break more.

It’s just greed at the end of the day.

So who stores the login information? This is fundamentally the question here.

If you store it centrally you only need to ask for username/password combo.

But then someone needs to store it at a central location for everyone to check against.

If it’s not centralized than the user needs to provide it

Email has a hidden trick up its sleeve and that’s the domain name. In order for an email to be valid, the domain name must contain email info on its DNS records. There’s where you can imply knowledge about where the email/message is to go.

But here in lemmy, my email is just Gmail. There’s no way to find the information on where authentication could be located. Which brings me back to the top of centralization vs decentralization.

And now I’ll leave the earth, for no raisin!

The reason it doesn’t disprove it is because the assumption “time travel works” is really just saying, if we ignore some basic rules of physics, what happens to what’s left? It’s a nonesense premise to debate what is basically nothing more than science fiction.

Could the rules we know about the universe be wrong? Absolutely! But discovering those new rules is what will answer that question. Till then, we might as well try and say Harry Potter is just quantum mechanics.

They were specifically told the itinerary of the aid workers.

"All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission," WCK said in a statement Thursday.

I’m not sure how it can be accidental if you were told about it in advance.

And even if for a moment, that the person who aimed the guns didn’t know, it was someone’s job to make sure they did. Someone knew.
