Sounds like the protocol equivalent of regulatory capture.

I wish the community luck. A counterpoint to the received opinions of mainstream American progressives would be great to see on Lemmy. I don't want to see the public web devolve into this-platform-for-this-tribe awfulness.

It's outrageous vandalism first, until instances of it sell at auction like Banksy's work. after which the media dutifully reports it as 'prestigious', 'part of the city's heritage' and breathlessly awaits the next instalment.

Only the humorless knobs that run Melbourne could hate Pam the bird

The plastics industries don't want any disruption to manufacturing volumes, so they've invested (together with government) a lot of money in propagating the plastic recycling myth in order to keep political pressure off themselves. Recycled plastic is poor quality and unfit for consumers, which is why the recycled portion of new plastic units is typically single-digit percentages. They've also created a new bit of greenwashing aimed at convincing the public there's a 'new and improved' class of plastics that stand up to recycling at higher rates, but most experts think it's just clever accounting.

These articles always get me thinking about filesharing doomsday. That theoretical point in time when our governments go full China and enact their own national firewalls/other scheme of effective P2P connection surveillance; when you need to know for certain that you've downloaded enough (and that your storage game is good enough) to last decades of leisure time, perhaps even a lifetime's worth.

Note the complete 180 in priorities since the Russian's arrest. It may as well be a FAGMAN product soon.

Seconding this. The figures are too rubbery for headlines like this to have any meaning.

I simply put so much coffee through it so regularly that cleaning isn't required.
