  • Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

    There’s almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn’t like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

    I fully support what you are doing but I’m not sure I completely get it. If the attack was against a community on another instance, why do you have to wipe images on this instance? Are images posted on all federated instances stored on the Aussie.zone server?

    I’ve lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven’t heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they’d be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.

    It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.



  • As a uni student I do both. I generally type notes during lectures and live meetings, and handwrite notes for prerecorded videos and other general study.

    I still handwrite because my exams are going to be handwritten and I don’t want to lose my ability to handwrite fast lol.

    You can also doodle/draw diagrams when you handwrite. It’s harder to do that on a phone/computer.

    I still use pen and paper because it just feels better than handwriting on a screen.
