There’s a reason why a bunch of poor people in inland Florida, which would be becoming close to beach front property within the century, are being evicted and bought out by rich people and companies.

No, it has jurisdiction in the EU. And Lemmy is a part of the EU jurisdiction.

Unless the devs want to block everyone in the EU from accessing the site.

Sure. Lemmy does have such a presence though.

It’s been a problem for a while. Considering major social media companies have already gotten massive fines from the EU for violating the GDPR, maybe the lemmy devs will put more effort in setting up a deletion system once the EU sends them a fine for breaking the law?

The GDPR is a required to comply EU law for all websites in their jurisdiction. You can’t get away with claiming “but people choose to join the website”.

Many other websites and even major social media sites have gotten fined and other sanctions put against them already for violating it.

I mean, with the vast majority of inter-departmental emails, no, one can’t be bothered, because it’s pointless busywork communication.

We’ve got that already on Kbin.social. :)

Or reopen your browser and have it restore the history. Yes, I know. But this helps you avoid even that minor hassle from happening at all.

If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you’re sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.

I just block the instances, which one can do on kbin.social. Easy way to not have to bother with the dictatorship and genocide supporting tankie trash.

The first thing I did when I made an account on Kbin was block the several meme instances that showed up on the front page feed. Shouldn’t everyone do that?

If you like authentic Korean food, I’d suggest Maangchi

Silver is related to real name. Seren is Runescape god name.

They don’t inherently do so. Unless you have some biological claim to that effect?

The only reason they encourage monocropping is because the seeds are just that much better than the alternatives, so farmers are less likely to want to grow other options. A similar effect happened when F1 hybrid seeds were introduced, leading to the Green Revolution.

In that regard, having a broader variety of GMO cultivars with many kinds of crops would help diversify farmer usage.

Crop types are subsidized, like corn in the midwest, but that doesn’t have any special connection to biotech seeds. Outside of you’re more likely to get research done on and biotech seeds made for the more popular crop types than others.

Don’t even get me started on the people who claim those with diabetes or asthma can get better with willpower and shouldn’t be taking medicine.

Good and useful crops encourage monocropping because why would farmers want to grow inferior options that will produce less overall and be less desired by consumers?

So monocropping is the natural result of consumer demand and the agricultural improvement of seeds.

That doesn’t make monocropping not a problem, but it doesn’t mean purposefully using worse seeds is the solution.

While companies are bad, that doesn’t automatically make things a company produces bad even if the company is trying to price-gouge or otherwise make the most profit out of it. You can oppose the latter while not pushing bullshit about the former.

In this regard, I’m referring to things that people generally try to push anti-science views on and use “company bad” as their purposefully bad argument to conflate the two things.

So, medicine and pharmaceuticals are not bad, even if the companies are bad.

Same goes with vaccines, obviously.

Biotech crops are not bad (and people really need to learn about how all crop cultivars have patents, including heirloom and organic cultivars).

You’re gonna make me start a fight with you.

Though, from a realistic scientific standpoint, the answer is and has always been both are responsible. The impact was a major destructive event that caused massive sun-blocking constant winter die-offs that the Deccan Traps contributed to over a much longer period.
