Could you please show me the people defending Nazis here on 196?

It's possible to be opposed to authoritarian state-capitalism and opposed to Nazism at the same time!

Depends on how old you are - dust from half a century ago didn't have any microplastics in it!

Hmm it's really weird that your post doesn't mention the 2500 Nazi scientists that the USSR recruited/relocated during Operation Osoaviakhim. I'm sure that's just an innocent oversight though!

Can you prove that China isn't an oppressive authoritarian capitalist state?

Since giving waterboarding a go I've found myself disgusted by any government that allows the use of waterboarding on anybody - governments that encourage it are even worse, and the way the Americans handled Gitmo is fucking disgraceful.

Ugh can't even come to lemmy to escape real life - spent most of Monday morning denaturing/counteracting PPO in my uni food science lab!

Polyphenol oxidase is the enzyme responsible for browning in shit like apples and potatoes when cut and exposed to air.

I haven't read the study linked in the OP yet (and I'm far too sad and intoxicated for it right now) but in other fruits/vegetables it's pretty easy to deactivate PPO through application of some combination of Vitamin C (converts quinones back to their phenol form and reacts with oxygen before it can get to the PPO) and heat (which actually denatures the PPO enzymes).

When we were denaturing PPO in potatoes in a lab setting we simply blanched the sliced potatoes in 90°C water for 5 minutes before placing it in an ice bath until cool.

The Green Party in my country is blocking the development of green alternatives to the industry that is one of the highest emitters of greenhouse gasses and various other pollutants (there's a reason most of our rivers are no longer safe to swim in and the levels of certain cancer-causing compounds are 10-100x the EU safe limit in some areas' water supplies), while private corporations and the main right-wing party are pushing for their legalisation.

A certain local indigenous group (which is technically a registered corporation) doesn't really like people mentioning the fact that they're currently driving an endangered native animal extinct by turning the only area they inhabit into dairy farms.

Also most of the politicians in this country are liars and/or sociopaths, but that kinda goes without saying lol

Lol yeah sure just like how the Trail of Tears and transatlantic slave trade never actually happened, rather they were fabricated by China to discredit the peaceful and freedom loving American government

I think you've got a bit of a misconception about FOSS software - you're allowed to make money selling it, you just also have to provide the source code to any customers! A fair few FOSS apps have free versions on F-Droid but paid versions on the Play store, for example.

Isn't that a problem with specific instances/federation rather than the software itself? There are some hateful right-wing Lemmy instances too but that doesn't seem to be a problem for you as the instance you use has probably defederated from them.

Climate activists have been trying peaceful, convenient protests for decades now yet humanity is fucking up the environment faster than ever.

It's still part of their code of conduct, and Alphabet (which owns Google) has "Do the right thing" as their motto. Google did evil shit even when "don't be evil" was their motto, and Alphabet continues to do evil shit today despite their company motto.

Turns out corporate mottos are absolutely meaningless when there's profit to be had.
