I mean, France adhered but still let Netanyahu fly through it’s airspace to reach the US.

I agree with OP, but also agree that Europe as a whole is only marginally better for “freedom” than the USA.

Interesting news, to be sure. It’s a shame that the article’s “What People Are Saying” section is really “what high-placed Russian officials are saying”.

Thank you, OP, for sharing an archive link.

I don’t think anyone can host a relay right now aside from bluesky.

People can host their own data / Personal Data Server, which is somewhere between self-hosting a mastodon instance and creating an account on someone else’s instance. The actual equivalent would be self-hosting your masto account separately from any instance (which is just not a thing with the current state of mastodon nor activity pub).

Sometimes it’s been butch cis women being accused of “being a man”.

Hate and bigotry really break people’s minds, it’s sad to see.

Now there’s a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.

RIP and damn you Jacen for fallling so hard (even if said fall made for some very compelling writing).

Shit I can’t remember most of them, but the “add 3 enchanted aces” is pretty solid (that is a spectral effect, right?)

As you might be able to tell, I play pretty conservatively. Though that might change once I’ve unlocked more.

The guardian apparently wrote an article that was shared in .world/c/news : https://lemmy.world/post/28450666

Sounds like The Matrix.

They probably think the tree farming that the space age expansion introduces (finally a way to counter your pollution!) is “some gay shit”.

The example case they give is more that the New York Times account can verify that a given, other, account actually is the account for one of their journalists.

To do that with domains, NYT would need to create a subdomain of theirs and let the journalist use it. At that point, might as well let the journalist use their own domain as well as have the NYT account verify the journalist’s account.

I like the idea, but then who gets to decide who is and isn’t a credible source? Is it only intra-account verifying? Can anyone verify anyone else, or do you need to be authorized by bluesky to start verifying others?

100% agree on this recommendation. Her Young Wizards / “So you want to be a wizard?” makes almost the exact opposite choices as the Harry Potter series does (magic is a choice not inherited at birth, Wizards feel responsible towards the rest of the world instead of wanting to ignore it completely, they learn on their own with their magic tome and some informal tutors instead of going to a school).

Succinctly put, though I got some cognitive dissonance when the author wrote about bluesky being their choice of decentralized network to get involved with without even mentioning the hosting costs involved with running a bsky relay (or whichever component of the ATP network actually holds the data “firehose”).

According to this article it took a server that costs around $150/month over 4 days to spin up a working relay, most of which was spent ingurgitating half a terabyte of data (that’s what ended up on disk in any case). Far from exorbitant, yet if I want to self host for my own personal needs it’s still gobs more data and compute than any activity pub software needs.

Maybe my view of “decentralization as in democracy” is just fundamentally different from the author’s. I get the feeling that to them, as long as each friend group has 1 self-hoster in it then democracy through decentralization is preserved. This would make sense that they orient themselves towards something like bluesky and the AT protocol. Personally, I don’t think we should be satisfied with that level of decentralization/democracy - it’s a nice start, but we should strive for reaching at least 50% of people self-hosting an activity pub instance to truly achieve the type of decentralization that serves democracy. Of course, I’m not aware of any activity pub software that can be selfhosted by even 10% of the population, currently, so there’s definitely a lot of work to do before my vision is feasible.

Some digging on the source: https://www.truthorfiction.com/daughter-of-mlk-and-coretta-scott-king-posted-this-advice-as-the-next-six-months-are-going-to-get-real/

Regardless of who the original author is, the advice seems good.

That’s one of the least worrying aspects of abolishing copyright for me. but then again, the whole “control what others do with your creation” never sat right with me in the first place. I tend to fall into the “property is theft” line of reasoning.

With regards to profit sharing in particular, well, I think copyright law is a paltry, dirty bandage that covers up the festering wound of for-profit art. At the very least, the wound needs to be cleaned and the bandage changed.

Unironically: the patriarchy. “Women and sex exist to serve men’s interests” thus, pleasuring a women in a manner most often associated with that of a man being pleasured by a women (oral sex aka blowjobs here) is ceding too much power to women.

They’re actually confused why women won’t touch them? Jesus.

My thoughts exactly.

From what I understand, you could un ironically do this with a file system using BTRFS. You’d maybe need a udev rule to automate tracking when the “Power Ctrl+Z” gets plugged in.

If it’s a single, generated, “initial” commit that I actually want to keep (say, for ex I used the forge to generate a license file) then I would often rebase on top of it. Quick and doesn’t get rid of anything.

This one gets me, as when I learned of the concept of “classic rock”, Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” had just came out and was playing non-stop on the “newest hits” radios.

Thank you!!!
