Depending on the state of the thing you’re looking at, maybe? A pixel 6 pro goes for ~220 on backmarket and ~210 on eBay. Does eBay guarantee free 30 day returns and have a great 1 year warranty? Depends on the seller. Backmarket offers it sitewide. Id rather pay a few extra bucks to not have to fight with someone over getting my money back or my shit fixed

Shameless plug for backmarket. They’re pretty solid

I thought kbin had more users than lemmy? To be fair, the last time I checked it out was ~6 months ago haha

Those look great, thanks for tinkering around with the prompts! I’m no good at ai whispering haha

Looks pretty nice! Thank you for whipping this up

You got more out of it than I did. My username has met the expectation of being exceptionally boring haha

Mine just produced pictures of barrels lol

Here to shill andrewism. He’s a big proponent of solarpunk and degrowth. A lot of his content focuses on practical applications of the two along with black anarchism, pan-africanism, activism, praxis, and a return to the Commons

True that! A lot of legislation passed (if you’re in a country that actually believes in passing legislation) is often incomplete. Even within a capitalist system there can be some degree of a solution achieved. Austerity has thrown a wrench in that but we’ve seen that with enough pressure the state can occasionally help.

Perhaps (I’m in the US so my ideas may not apply elsewhere) instead of additional subsidies to agriculture we could reallocate the ones were already giving out to more nutritious crops. Corn gets far too much money for example, that’s why it’s in literally everything here. It’s so cheap it’s more cost effective to process the hell out of it and turn it into something else entirely over just growing something else. Likewise, dairy gets a ton of money and we waste so much of it.

That money could be given to a broader variety of crops, alongside some sort of legislation to make the disposal of perfectly good food either outright illegal or with heavy fines involved to the point that it’s more profitable/less costly to just sell the food. Hell, tax breaks for giving it away too. Because if there’s one thing that will get rich dicks on board it’s tax breaks. Maybe throw some additional incentive to move away from pesticides and monoculture as well

We dispose of 30-40% of the global food supply every year simply because it’s not profitable to sell it. It isn’t a supply issue. Subsidies are unnecessary. We could easily live in a post scarcity world if we could discard the profit motive

We have words for this already. Corporate greed, price gouging and lying come to mind. No need to dress it up as an inflation thing. X-flation is the x-gate of the 2020s

They’re federated with lemmy so you can still browse and subscribe to lemmy instances on kbin accounts
