I can't watch the video right now, but here's an interesting article about a small village that set up their own bus service: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-66536184

It's a bit different from a typical bus service - rather than having a set route it runs on a rough timetable, and picks people up from their homes if it's not convenient for them to meet the bus in the village itself. It's currently partially volunteer run, but is an interesting model for rural areas.

That's not quite true. The general rule for most people is that you get a year of maternity leave; the first 6 weeks are at 90% of your usual pay, then you get 33 weeks at the lower of 90% or £172.48 per week, and then the rest is on Maternity Allowance which is a lower amount again.

The two weeks rule applies only to people who otherwise aren't entitled to maternity leave - normally this is people who are self-employed, agency workers or on a zero hours contract (although you should always check as there are exceptions to these rules that employers will try to pretend don't exist). In that situation, everyone is entitled to two weeks maternity leave for safety reasons, or four weeks if you work in a factory.

Fury Road has a very strong theme of extractive/capitalist survival (represented by cars, gas, control of water etc) = bad, regenerative/communalist survival (represented by the mothers and plant life) = good. The action scenes are ofc designed to be cool but I think the broader environmental/social message is strong enough that the flame guitar doesn't drown it out.

Anyone who owns a server can access all the data stored on it, unless the data is end-to-end encrypted. Whether it's mastodon, Lemmy, Facebook, twitter, Gmail, vBulletin, whatever.

If you need to say something that you can't risk anyone else seeing, use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, or implement encryption yourself using e.g. PGP.

I mean, most people could survive almost anywhere for a day. Yeah, people need shade, just like all animals do; which is naturally provided by trees, shrubs, big rocks, terrain features etc. It's true that there are places where humans have deliberately made the outdoors inhospitable by removing those features, but you can fix that by putting them back.

The web client supports it too, as do other apps like Tusky and Ivory. The official app is just a weird outlier.

Totally negligible. All you need to keep is a line in a database with the person's email, hashed and salted password, and a unique identifier for each game they own - that's an amount of space that won't even register on any service nowadays. There might be other optional stuff that takes more space, like display pics, cloud saves etc but you can delete those without deleting the whole account.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this thread is showing (to me) as being on kbin.social, but I assume it's actually on a Lemmy instance since OP asked about the Lemmy UI.

On Kbin you can click on the burger menu and then "magazines", or just go to /magazines
