  You get ostracized, will lose any scholarship you have and likely won’t even finish the course. These days, it got even worse, because a lot of courses are adding a FORMAL REQUIREMENT to have the names of your supervisors in ANY publications you make related to your work while you’re in the course, or you won’t get your diploma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No u⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my university, almost all professors do it. All articles produced here have several names in them, but are actually made by just 1 or 2 people. Also, professors force us into putting their names in our publications even when they don’t even give any guidance. Everyone around thinks that this system is normal and will force newcomers into it.

  Older people around here tell stories of homemade treatments where the person would be fasting for hours while sat on a chair with a hole, with a bucket of milk or white wine. According to them, this would make the tapeworm get out (very slowly) into the bucket.

  Degoogle, my people, degoogle…

  Don’t try it all at once. Do it in steps, starting with simple things, like a different search engine, using local docs or foss cloud service, replacing google apps, trying a different email service,etc

  Don’t overthink it. There’s nothing perfect. Just try any alternative and stick to it if you like it. But overcome the inertia, try something. The less users they have, the less powerful they will be. And don’t fall for the trap of thinking that it doesn’t matter or doesn’t make a difference, because that’s what benefits them in the end. Remember, the most important thing is to overcome the inertia.

  That’s true :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't worry, be happy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but on the other hand, if international trade diminishes, we’re on the food production side. The places who depend on imports will be hit much harder.

  Indeed, I have some trouble with pests, especially with the guava tree, but I’ve been using the technique of covering the young fruits in clothing bags so that pests can’t access them, and it’ has been effective so far. Needs a bit of work, but it’s cheap and doesn’t need using any chemicals. Sometimes, a naughty possum comes and takes something away, but it’s not so frequent, so I let them take their share lol. I once planted a broccoli that was growing so big and nice-looking, but had it suddenly disappear, eaten by a group of caterpillars.

  But I simply avoid the things that attracted pests and favor the ones that grow without much need of maintenance, like acerola, cassava, some pumpkins, passion fruits, some wild grape-like fruits, and so on. My backyard looks like an abandoned house with the wilds taking over, i admit, but well, I like it that way…

  That’s interesting to know. I never paid attention to timing when planting. We can plant most things in any season without much difference. Sometimes, thing grow “spontaneously”, like the papaya tree that appeared last year and is already mature and giving fruits. Looks like I’m playing real-life stardew valley in easy mode >.<

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't worry, be happy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When it comes to climate change I’m not sure. We on the poor side of the world already live in a constant crisis and adaptation and drastically changing our way to live might not hit us as hard as for people in first world countries who are used to a high dependence on industry and globalization. In fact, we’re already slowly adapting without most people even noticing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's how the world works.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I grow a lot of stuff in a relatively small space. Sometimes I cave to give stuff away because it’s too much for me. Maybe living in a tropical region helps? or maybe because I grow mostly native stuff that needs near to zero care.

  But doesn’t that make poisonous plants much easier to spot? Isn’t the apparent safety what makes poisonous mushrooms so dangerous?

  Be careful. It may seem that there’s no effect, but there might be long-term consequences

  Like male cochineals, who can’t feed themselves after reaching adulthood, but are able to reproduce before dying of hunger. Evolution can be really cruel.

  It feels like people are mostly from usa, a few from europe and a minority from other places. Most users give the impression of being economically above the average. Being tech-savvy doesn’t even need to be mentioned >.< but people tend to be a bit elitist about it. In fact, elitist it a word that describes much of what I observe around. It’s tricky to talk about it, because no one likes to be pointed on such things, but it’s something clearly observable from anyone from outside, like me

  I think Lemmy’s audience is actually fairly diverse

  That’s interesting to see your perception of it being fairly diverse. My perception is quite the opposite. It feels like there’s only a very specific demographic in here, and sometimes I even feel like leaving,due to being out from that group
