    Fair enough. The way people are treating me for advocating against the destruction of nature is fucking disgusting. People are taking your point to mean that it’s totally fine to trample meadows because worms will fix it and I’m an asshole for saying anything negative about this person fucking up a meadow for a photo.

    Ugh. Sometimes Lemmy is exactly like reddit.



  • The level of cope people will produce in order to refute my request to not destroy fragile meadows is nuts. I thought I was being polite. And I’m right.

    Once the meadow is trampled and the soil is compacted, and all the native flowers are gone, go ahead and plant some plantains there up on that mountain in the compacted soil. Problem solved?


  • No, earthworms cannot undo the damage from soil compression caused by humans. There are ancient trails that have been found by archaeologists that haven’t been used in thousands of years and yet are still compressed. Human foot traffic is incredibly destructive.

    The rule for hiking is that you hike and camp on durable surfaces only. Meadows are extremely fragile. There are visible rocks in this photo right behind this person, which they could be walking on. This is a selfish thing to do.


  • If you come to the Cascades in Washington, please don’t stand in our meadows like this. These plants do NOT survive being stepped on and you’re compressing the soil, preventing regrowth. If everyone walks in the meadows they will vanish forever. There is no natural mechanism to uncompress soil.

    I never understood why people are annoyed by tourists until I moved to the mountains…





  • Qobuz has been good for me so far. I ran out of data the first month just because of the increased quality, so I may have to upgrade to an unlimited data plan. I mostly just use it to download albums rather than stream.

    The increase in audio quality coming from Spotify is absolutely noticeable, especially for certain bands who put a lot of extra work into their production. Listening to Tool albums on Qobuz is like a brand new experience.


  • Yes! It always does the loading spin animation for like 10 seconds before it shows me my downloaded album. And some albums just never work at all. I have to go online and then offline again just to make it work at all, which defeats the purpose of being offline in the first place.

    I just started my free qobuz trial though, and canceled my Spotify account. I mentioned their CEO as the reason I canceled.
