I think it’s healthy for admins to defederate, for whatever reason, from their choice of other instances.
If this is not done enough, then we will end up with few instances dominating the ebb and flow of discussion and content. And making it difficult for voices to be heard.
If done too much, and there are many tiny clusters of communities, there are social forces that will make many of these network closer.
If we did this more, it will break the monopoly of the large instances we see today, and better things can grow
I think conditions have improved, but look worse because things have improved. I know that makes no sense.
Many jails have horrible things done to people. But due to the various reforms and court actions, many but not all places have more transparent reporting while having small improvement.
Wow, just doing the bare minimum for a legislature is enough to let one grab national headlines.
One arm hair in the hand is better than two in the bush
“Oh God..”
I first saw this new toolbar a few hours ago, at first I was sort of impressed and thought wow. Then I realized they are trying to make the toolbar an indispensable developer tool, with all the bloat and increased complexity this hints .
Later, I am sure we will have a new simple toolbar to manage the then renamed “Swiss army tool set”, and there will be free and premium versions of the bar.
So naturally I uninstalled the toolbar
Don’t know. But if the tariffs are as bad as many think, I believe the black market in the USA will grow faster than the speakeasies and smuggling booze did a century ago. There will be huge demand to bring in cheaper goods that are legally sold at higher rates.
It’s a new and huge untapped market to provide support, even if most of the movement of goods will be done by organized crime later. A lot of what will happen is unknown.
Certainly there will be a new cat and mouse dynamics. Very rarely does a huge layer of graft poof into existence to fast in a country. Lots of dynamics navigating this new electronic frontier!
I think nobody understands exactly how anything works, but enough of us understand our own little corner of tech to make new things and keep the older things going. I’ve been coding for decades, and proudly state I understand about 1% of what I do. This is higher than most
AI will make these little gardens of knowledge smaller for most, and yet again we, as the human species, will forever rely on another layer of tech.
So anyway, here I was, drifting through the lemmy pages, when I realized there was a ton of money to be made by writing software for smugglers.
I have never really known a smuggler of physical goods, but I imagine I will try now
Each time I watch this there is more to unpack and analyze. Not only does it describe truth, it’s a masterfully done scene
While it could be possible to have something to make the ring on the inside larger in the hopes of keeping it from falling out, that is going to get in the way of the feces being pushed.
Superglue
I think of all the oppressive governments, giving this medal must be a near universal thing that separates them from other governments.
There are dozens of us, I’m thinking when it gets really bad I’ll start a twelve step support group on how to deal with the fallout
Except they will probably not regulate natural dyes, or even force listing of the replacements. Some of the replacements will not be healthy.
So like usual, it looks good at first sight but will sicken and poison many children and adults instead.
food allergies too!
Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.
But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it
It’s not ideal, and can be abused by the central service later by price increases or probably other things.
But it’s the best a corporate and evil platform can do to legitimize users.
That’s one watchlist I will not be on
OP please do emergency health care! I’m older and have seen people complain of this, I know you say weeks, and not days, but that does not make it better.
Still waiting for the crazy shaman to be elected senator.
There is no way to rescue the USA from what will happen the next decades, there is no mechanism. And that is even if democrats make a majority win in both houses next year.
The USA will still decline and it will be a messy time filled with multiple failures by the thousands for the next generation or two.
That said, I see hope still, just not in federal government or many state governments, but in new ways for the common people to organize in communities .
But yea, many of the agitators locked up now will be filthy rich later
