This varries alot depending on where you live.

Normally it’s like this.

First it goes into the water, then it goes to the ground, which normally filters it very well. BUT if this is generally a polluted area, and also depending on the composition of the earth, it may not filter it at all. We assume that there’s some filtering though.

Now it gets really country-dependent. Some countries filter the tap water very well, some adds chlorine to ‘cleanse’ it, and some may not do a very good job entirely.

I’m no expert in which countries around the world do what, but it’s probably something you can look up for your area.

Generally though, it’s worse for you to inhale (unless the water is just polluted in other ways)

You seem like the guy who kept writing in hand and didn’t want to use the typewriter, even though it went 2x times faster.

Or the guy who kept writing the typewriter and didn’t want to use the computer.

You see the point?

Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s

Yeah, basically. There’s something called Creative Cloud where you can save your documents for everyone to use, and you can do comments and feedback.

Also, if I got a Photoshop file, I would need to open it and work in it, and maybe send it back to another designer. It would be awful to have to convert it back and forth.

My problem is that we work together in Adobe apps at my work. I can’t switch to anything else unless the whole organisation does.

I could try to change what they use, but it’s a different task.

This is exactly my problem. I really want to do the switch, but I’m using my computer for work also, and I’ll never get by without Office nor Adobe suite.

Congratulations! Me three!

Denmark. So you’ll need to take the “out of country” option. We are also much more LGBT friendly than religious countries like the US.

But I know it’s a big move, so maybe it’s not what you asked for.

This.

News are the reason your mental health sucks ass. The world is doing okay actually if you just look around instead.

You are probably right if you can get that many trips out of it. And I was also only focusing on the environment and not the money saved, which is also wrong of me taking OPs question into account.

About the dorm style living, it’s very much a thing. It’s all over the place where I’m living and I have 4 friends living in different ones right now.

All very open minded and kind people.

Plants / gardening.

You get free food while reducing waste in its purest form. I have alot of indoor plants giving me seasoning, fruits and vegetables that are also pretty plants and great for the indoor environment.

1. Reusable canvas bags when shopping

I’m sorry to be that guy, but this most likely will be worse for the environment.

Reusable bags are alot more poluting than plastic bags, because the manufacturing process can use up to 100x the energy.

What you SHOULD buy as a reusable is a higher quality plastic bag that is made from reusable plastic.

This sounds wrong I know.

True, it’s basically culture.

I use them for texts but never for Lemmy or reddit.

This one is true.

Especially in the western world (and mostly the USA), we have created and participated in many wars. Invasions, government overthrows, etc.

If the media couldn’t be controlled, our governments wouldn’t be able to justify each war. And that’s very bad in a democracy, because public opinion is everything.

So you have to control the media to control the war.

I don’t get why he should suggest leaving, as the problem is 100% on her. She’s inventing the problem - the staff couldn’t care less.

This guy is being harassed for not spending money. Like wtf. She should be the one leaving.

Maybe I explained it bad then, because it’s not. It would not be possible without ChatGPT with me.

I work in media so at first I didn’t think it could help me much.

But I’ve used ChatGPT to automise exports of PDFs/image files, used it to rename extreme large number of documents at the same time, used it to pull data from Excel into my Adobe Programs, used it to create customised scripts with use of the Adobe Script to match my work flow.

Adobes own generative AI in Photoshop and Illustrator is also very helpful in specific situations.

And then I use DeepL (free) for every translation.

It has made my work life much easier too, and I have coded stuff that automated my job without knowing anything about code.

It’s incredible.

I use IPFilter Updater for Bit Torrent programs.

It updates a block list that blocks out bad actors and trackers, so there’s a bigger chance you can sail the seas in peace.
