Add block for all of lemmy.ml too. That place is literally regressing

I feel like thats why UTC never took off. They should have set 0 in the pacific ocean somewhere and everyone would have been much happier.

There’s a big “Download” url: https://equal-earth.com/ here’s the standard english one https://www.equal-earth.com/Equal-Earth-Map-0.jpg

You mean the homepage infographic? Thats not the map. If you click download you can get accurate full maps based on this projection.

99% of people dont know that there other projections. I dare you to ask people which map projection is their favorite.

Ideally yes we should stick to standard and make sure everyone knows thay there are many variants and none of them perfectly represent the sphere were on but thats not happening.

Thanks 🙏

Brave take with your comment history public lmao

Worked for whom? The countries that are over-represented in the current map? Or the countries that started this petition?

I somewhat agree, Africa never looked small imo. However Russia, Greenland, Canada etc are so comically oversized that it absolutely makes a difference imo.

The slider is very revealing. Hard to believe that were still using Mercator projection when its so incredibly deceiving even if you actually know the real sizes.

I dsiagree that transparent upvotes are an issue. In fact i think it’s a powerful feature for community to self correct and resist astro turfing.

On reddit votes have become meaningless because they are not 1 person == 1 vote and its completely astroturfed. You can literally got to buyredditvotes dot com (not real but real ones are very close just google it) and stuff any post with votes and nobody will ever know.

Transparent interactions are key for community health even if behind anonymous nicknames. So all interactions should be transparent.

My only issue is that many lemmy instances are blocking popular VPN services which is very dangerous. I understand the bot argument but (even though residential proxies are dirt cheap these days) user safety suffers hard here.

Just in case you see her on a trolley track and mom said it’s your turn to control the switch

Lmao you’re the one sharing political rage bait here, no?

Nah you’re just sharing dictatorship propaganda be it willingly or unwillingly so go back to the tankistan please 🙏

It is technically illegal too and all Chinese know not to fuck with censor machine if they want any career in their future as at any point CCP goons can come with all of the evidence and start throwing shitbat you getting you fired or worse. It’s not some secret either.

It’s much more than that cause censors are trigger happy af so basically anything with Pooh is 99% of the time censored.

Its wild to see people defend this

Winnie the pooh is still censored in China btw

There’s just so much entertainment and incredible creativity out there. I genuinely don’t understand allegiances like this.

I love Sandman but tbh fuck that dude and I’ll go read one of other million alternative stories that often are just as good if not better.

The competition in creative industry is just insane and switching is basically free compared to any other industry. Like, good luck switching from John Deere if you’re a farmer but Harry Potter fans have zero barriers and still can’t do it. Spineless, weak people.

“Community” helps people take it more seriously. Naming is more than just how it flows in a sentence.

Americans complain about the two party system and do absolutely nothing to change that. It’s like watching a soap opera but everyone’s fell of the horse and lost their memory.
