He/Him... just in case.
I'm from Earth, ya know, that thing that keeps getting effed because of greed and unaccountability... I like the middle, not the radical left or right, some things may be tough and make sense, others are up to individuals. Be free, let others be.

Correction, Europe must hurry to develop itself and don't rely on US for anything, US is lost. It's just crony capitalism and dumb people these days.

I live in a shitty house from the 50s in Poland, poorly insulated AND I walk around the house on a t-shirt if I want... the problem is the energy I have to spend. Heat-pumps are not a miracle if your house is poorly insulated.

Let's be clear in one thing:

  • There's no free lunches.

That's it. Everything in the Universe, including you, has a "price" on energy. Now outside of all crony-capitalism craziness, we should all consider having a open, distributed, fair price Internet and it's resources.

I'm calling Louis.

Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...

Portuguese here:

  • There was compulsory male military service, that would be the only place where you could "handle" military grade hardware, aka assault rifles.
  • Currently IIRC, guns are accessible if: you're a military or law enforcement agent, a hunter (rifle or shotgun) or go through a process for a fire arm license due to professional or business reasons (e.g. a goldsmith) for self-defense.
    As well hand guns are limited to "non-military" calibers... for instance 9mm is for government agents solely.

Of course there's black market and use by shady actors...

As for people's personal relationship with guns, most people doesn't care to have one as there's not much violent crime to justify said behavior.

“With CalRx, we are getting at the underlying cost, which is the true sustainable solution to high-cost pharmaceuticals,” Newsom wrote in a message explaining why he vetoed the bill on Saturday. “With co-pay caps however, the long-term costs are still passed down to consumers through higher premiums from health plans.”

Makes sense, when you block a corporation by increasing taxes, they will always pass the "new" cost to the consumers, in this case the "competition" will provide true lower costs...

They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the "next best thing".

Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the "ad revenue".

I'm de-googling as fast as I can.

Duet AI for Google Meet can take notes, summarize, and even attend meetings - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

Another new Meet feature lets Duet “attend” a meeting on your behalf. On a meeting invite, you can click an “attend for me” button, and Google can auto-generate some text about what you might want to discuss. Those notes will be viewable to attendees during the meeting so that they can discuss them.

U.S., Florida Gov. DeSantis says shorter lifespans should protect people from losing Social Security and Medicare protection (web.archive.org)

The fact that Ukrainian forces decided to attack the Russian occupiers in annexed Crimea was the reason to publish such a post.

Elon Musk’s move over the weekend to rebrand Twitter and replace its iconic bird logo with an X is just the latest step in his effort to make over the billionaire’s longtime favorite platform in his image.

OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub (futurism.com)

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely...

Actually, money could have been saved... here's why:

  1. The US Navy's submarine detection network heard a "boom" on the day of the implosion, which they kept close to their chests...
  2. Sounded the alarm, they spent money and resources looking for something they were almost sure was lost...
  3. After the expiration of time when the submarine "could be recoverable" was when they said "well... we did heard something the other day"...

Imagine the other possible scenario where the say on the first day "Hey, the sub imploded, we heard it on our underwater microphones, we won't spend money looking for these people..."
And then a future investigation reveals that they got stuck somewhere or lost power but were "buoyant" for 48 hours or so, and died for lack of oxygen when no one was looking for them.

Can you imagine the lawsuits?

Especially if as the news report, he will move to Belarus. Speaking of it, is he moving by himself with his entourage, or also "his" army? Because all the sudden having the Wagner moving men and material inside Belarus is "a ruse" in itself to create another front line for Ukraine... to say the least.

Hi Everyone,

This might be a bit long, so the tl;dr is that I'm happy of moving out from something going rotten, and I am optimisting on this all "fediverse" concept, so I am giving ideas on how to improve.

1.The whole concept of fediverse is still quite unknown to me, but I think it's positive to be able to somehow link different platforms dedicated to different uses, managed differently and used by different "personas"...
2. I would not take the experience from previous "prisons" on social media as something to pursue here, but check the concept and use to improve what we share, with who we share it, and also what we consume. Don't look in the rearview mirror, look to the windshield...
3. There will be of course "growing pains" where somehow fringe platforms suddenly got a serious uptick in popularity and use do to others' incompetence. You will have good and bad experiences, speak up and figure out how you can help improve everyone's experience.

That said, it would be nice to:

  • Have a way to explore the magazines in a tile wall, that you could explore via e.g. tags - you search the tag "science" or "manga" and you get a wall of tiles with the name of the magazine and e..g. the language, country/region or rate of publications.
  • Have a separation between what are essentially text posts vs. "memes" or pic posts, where those are presented on the feed with different aspect of the tile.

That's for 2 days of browsing, I guess most people here will have a "cake day" around 12th June? 😁
