  • Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?

    Jump

  • I think a lot of people don't know what co-ops are. I have been pretty left leaning my whole life and I only found out co-ops in my late 20s and the majority of people I talked to in real life have no idea what coops are. And from that few that do know, many dont know how big cooperatives can be.

    For the uninitiated, I am sharing the [International Cooperative Alliances definition of coops here: https://ica.coop/en/cooperatives/what-is-a-cooperative

    and the list of largest coops in 2023 here: https://ica.coop/en/media/library/research-and-reviews-world-cooperative-monitor/world-cooperative-monitor-2023

    Screenshot of the top 10 coops based on turnover in USD from the report here:

  • Sit back and marvel at 14 minutes of (mostly) great bike infrastructure in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    Jump

  • I wish I could say all of Addis is like this but it's not. The city started doing a lot of construction for better pedestrian and bike lanes earlier this year, which is where these bike lanes were built. The construction is ongoing but it seems like they've abandoned the bike lanes for some reason. The current bike lanes only cover a very limited segment of the city

  • Australian Parliament bans social media for under-16s with world-first law

    Jump

  • This seems like a good thing. To repeat what someone on here said, even if its not fully enforceable by the companies, it will be good way for parents to prevent their kids from being hooked on socials at a young age

  • Well with ADHD, everywhere?

    Jump

  • I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn't hurt and would probably help

  • Well with ADHD, everywhere?

    Jump

  • I definitely overthink before sleep, I'm relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it

  • Anyone try using the Ecosia search engine, are they legitimate in their cause?

    Jump

  • This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it.

    One question, if Ecosia uses Bing + Google, does this mean using Ecosia indirectly generates revenue for Bing and Google?

  • Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?

    Jump

  • Mostly on Lemmy. I'm on Mastadon too. I don't know if YouTube counts but I'm on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

    I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don't post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can't get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

  • Anyone try using the Ecosia search engine, are they legitimate in their cause?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the answer! I've been using DDG for the last few months and it is also bad anything map related or at localizing things (DDG also bad with news, it reverts to MSN alot as a news aggregator) )I will have to use Ecosia to real compare the two but their tree planting idea has made curios enough to try it. Thanks again

  • Anyone try using the Ecosia search engine, are they legitimate in their cause?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the answer! They seem to be transparent, and even have a breakdown of they use their money by month, which I appreciate. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any huge news stories that blew the lid on this and said it was all fake or something. Thanks again
