get this man on a goddamn ballot somewhere.

its not, really. and its something you get used to and come to appreciate.

the city analogy is a great one - every town has its own flavor. many towns build roads (federation) between them so all inhabitants can easily travel to each other… as a city.

some towns self-isolate or are isolated from other towns (defederated) for all sorts of reasons and, if you want to see what they have to offer, you can set up a house directly in that town or another town with a road to (federated with) that town. it really does allow some very cool places to thrive - like the internet was before it was purchased.

lemmy{dot}.world chooses to keep things pretty… bland? thats their right, but there is quite a bit of quality spiciness out there if you have a house in a well connected (widely federated) town or decide to set up a few additional houses in some of the more exotic towns.

does anyone have a federation graph up and running right now? should be easy-ish based on instance published federation lists.

small pond :-(

big fish :*)

p.s.

It’s one step up from a single-player game.

I gotta remember to steal that!

“I think the audience of receptive Republicans is a lot bigger than what most folks would think in the Republican party,” Duncan said. “It’s not fun to have to defend Donald Trump.”

W.T.A.F?!

any time I think there just might be some minor redemption for these ghouls, their inner bootlicker congeals and oozes out of their putrid, flapping face-hole.

why did you defend this narcissistic, child raping, snake-oil pimping, murderous megalomaniac in the first place? it certainly wasn’t fun for any of his victims for decades and isn’t fun now. fuck all the way off, you useless sycophantic piece of shit.

no. I will call it what it is and shame anyone who uses weasel words to excuse the butchery of entire groups of people.

fuck anyone to hell if they choose to do otherwise.

yeah, I’ll take them (whatever the hell they are) over ice/cbp any fucking day.

“now go forth and make the world a better place!”

was looking at phone options recently and, honestly, fairphone has become the only choice as a daily driver. I am now absolutely fine with the limited fairphone specs as a trade-off for a device I control as my own.

will keep older phones for any corp BS that I am forced to deal with. hopefully we can legislatively minimize the interactions.

after 2024 I finally accepted that the majority of voters around me will accept almost anything as long as their “comfy” little suburban lives are maintained for them by their overlords.

depressing as fuck.

the policy fell off.

…and this is why massive concentrations of wealth must be outlawed - the sociopaths think they own the planet.

was referring to bernie’s use of the AI issue. I know nothing about yudkowsky. an interesting research or just ignore?

yup. agreed on your timeline.

I think its more about “meet the people where they are at”. “AI” is in the zeitgeist and is useful as a focal point for the fact that its a really small club and you ain’t in it.

helium

hydrogen. its currently fusing hydrogen to helium, but because its a fairly average size star, it will be unable to then fuse the helium into later fuels (carbon, neon, oxygen, silicon). so it expands, sheds off its outer layers and becomes a white dwarf, cooling down until its at ambient temperature as a black dwarf.

Edit: so a sun sized star can use helium as a secondary fuel, fusing it down to carbon after a helium flashover (but thats not where our star is at right now). the resulting white dwarf will be a combination of helium, carbon, oxygen and trace amounts of other elements.

bullshit.

next they are going to claim that “hostilities” only count during the time that munitions are exploding and physically dismembering children in Iranian schools.

edit: formatting

even better - as far as I am aware the client isn’t open (and even if it were, is your installed build from the same source?).

so, even if the keys are local only, who says there isn’t a hidden API that simply sends locally decrypted content back to a remotely calling endpoint?

I see what you did there 👀

Graham said Monday that the ballroom should be paid for with $400 million in taxpayer funds collected in the form of national park fees and customs fees, with the private funding Trump secured going to extra costs like fine china.

oh, the epstein donations go towards the epstein china. pretty simple, really.

nice try, buddy! 🤓

yeah. redemption arcs are possible, but chickie needs to spend a few decades in the wilderness atoning through grass roots organizing and on-the-fucking-ground direct action.
