Lava eruptions like this tend to be less dangerous than ash eruptions, which can mess up air traffic and the ashfall is bad for the lungs and crops. So I don’t think there’s much cause for concern.
I’m by no means an expert but in Iceland,
eruption under a glacier = ash eruption
eruption not under a glacier = lava flow.
I’m sure it’s more nuanced than that but it seems to be the rule of thumb over here.
When it erupts underneath a glacier, it causes huge clouds of ash to form. The volcano you’re talking about (Eyjafjallajökull) is a glacier volcano in the highlands whereas this one is on the Reykjanes peninsula on the west side.
I was kind of feeling that Reddit had started to prioritize videos over everything else, so I’m fine with this for now. But I also hope Lemmy gets some video support soon because posting links to Youtube videos isn’t ideal.
Sure, and then they’ll be fined for what looks like a huge amount of money to us regular folks but to a corporation like Meta is essentially a slap on the wrist, and they’ll keep doing illegal shit.
We really need to start charging corporations GDP of Switzerland-level sums if we want them to behave ethically.
Once you get used to an ad-free Reddit experience, it’s truly jarring how many ads the official Reddit app has. Same with Youtube. I have Adblock for Youtube on my computer and when I use the Youtube app on my TV I’m astounded by the number of ads being greedily shoved down my face.
I don’t know why you’d switch from the clusterfuck that is Twitter to anything made by Meta, one of the worst tech companies out there. It’s like trading a turd for a piece of shit.
Mastodon is the only reasonable alternative IMO, the only problem is that not enough people are on there.
Australia’s history is basically:
Have problem with native animal species
Introduce another animal species to combat the first animal species
Now you have two problems
Rinse, repeat
A volcanic eruption has started in Iceland, estimated to be ten times more powerful than previous eruption in the area (www.ruv.is)
I miss reddit
Warning: This is a rant....
This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads (lemmy.world)
Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?...
That's why no one with half a brain downloads the official Reddit app. (lemmy.world)

Are you going to try Meta's Threads? (www.theverge.com)
Will people here use/try Meta’s #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity....
greetings sir (lemmy.world)
