There already is one that’s been going on a couple of years: https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

I have too. I’ve been ignorant and confidently wrong occasionally.

I’ve certainly taken that approach with the tankies these days, I used to debate them, now I don’t really because its pointless. I reply to them every time, but it’s arguments for the audience more than anything.

Responding once, twice at most, is the best way.

I think we can’t convince anyone because if you’re arguing with someone online, they’re probably trolling you if you are saying something honestly. Internet spaces are so segregated that someone who comes here to argue, is probably not arguing in good faith.

Also, there was a shit ton of shenanigans going on during the last election. Other countries boycotting our products will absolutely help us. If it costs the 1% money, he will be taken down a notch. The oligarchs are in this for the money after all.

He makes around 19k/month. Dude, just behave and enjoy life. wtf?

In a statement on the North Bergen police website, posted after he became chief in February 2024, Farley, who reportedly earns more than $228,000 a year, said he was “proud” to lead the community.

It’s more of a paint program, and it’s great if you have a pen and tablet. I haven’t tried out gimp for while, but it was more of a photoshop alternative at that time. I think Apple’s version of Krita would be Procreate, but Krita is free.

Krita.org does a nice job of showing off their work and so does Blender

They’re not flashy, but they definitely make me want to download them and check them out.

Huh, looks like this guy.

Is it wrong that I love what this article is doing in the article, is explained in this paragraph?:

While some social media companies might seek to capture the fediverse, others might seek to undermine its reputation by highlighting some of its unsavory uses. This has happened with several beneficial alternative technologies in the past, such as peer-to-peer file sharing, the dark web and end-to-end encryption.

The biggest issue facing the Fediverse IMO, is that one large instance can control what most of the fediverse sees. The user would never know if things were getting pulled, posted much later when no one is on or shadow banned.

This is the guy that commutes from LA to Seattle on a private jet?

Devil child, devil child!

My gut? We would have video of the arsonists if it were arson, and Elon would be trying to link them to anything political-looking in public.

They wouldn’t have video if they’re trying to collect insurance on unsold cyber trucks. It’s probably coming from inside the house this time.

I didn’t realize it’s Komo, they’re owned by Sinclair. For those of you who don’t know, they’re super Christian Nationalist. https://komonews.com/news/local/four-tesla-cybertrucks-destroyed-in-fire-in-seattles-sodo-neighborhood-elon-musk-doge-federal-jobs-cut-protests-seattle-fire-department-investigation

This cracked me up so hard. The videographer knew what the were doing.

I think the difference here is there is not some weird, ephemeral person deciding. For example, at the bad place, it could have been a shitty admin, a good admin or actually spez deciding the rules for everyone.

Here we have instances that make up their own rules on who to federate with (who you see), and whether or not you’re banned (who sees you). Also, the admins of your instance can redo moderation order anyway they see fit. It really will be an instance controlled vibe.

The real thing to be worried about is that if certain instances get too big. They have the most users and can control who sees what across the fediverse. For example, if a super large instance doesn’t want any posts on any volatile or controversial topic to be seen (immigration, Nazi salutes, transgender, etc.), they could just have it not show up on their instance and the biggest part of the fediverse would never see it and have no way of knowing they didn’t see it.

That’s a great clarification. There is some overlap, but you’re right, they may or may not see some stars or constellations. The Southern Cross for instance, can only be seen from certain southern state in the US.

A good way to think about this is time zones. The sun is in a different spot depending on what time zone you’re in, so will everything else be in the sky. Also, it depends on seasons because the earth tilts on its axis.

Planets, the “stars” that don’t twinkle, are sometimes between us and the sun (Mercury and Venus). Those planets have crazy patterns and are the evening and morning stars. The planets that aren’t between us and the sun act consistently (the rest).

Our moon travels around us and isn’t attached to the sun, but is in the earth’s orbit. That’s why a lunar calendar and a sun calendar are so different.

Why would they meet in secret?

Also, this:

The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, a remorselessly ambitious former prime minister, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert.

The discussions centered on whether Ukraine could hold quick presidential elections. These are being delayed in line with the country’s constitution because Ukraine remains under martial law. Critics of holding elections say they could be chaotic and play into Russia’s hands, with so many potential voters serving on the front lines or living abroad as refugees.
