I agree. This dissolve the union stuff is just as ridiculous now as it was then, “a house divided” and all that.

Newsom is kinda a schmuck.

The sun wasn’t alive in Sunshine. People just be crazy.

The World at the End of Time does have a plasma based intelligence though

Should have a price option to calculate value.

Amazon Prime is the only one that’s been hard for me to kick…

Absolutely not, I’m a random speculating wildly over here. I thought that was the dude with the sunglasses with his back to the car. Rewatching he has different pants.

That group of guys walking away after the car pulls away were plain clothed officers. At least thats what it looks like to me.

The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, but I’d bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.

Hell yeah. I might have gone with Everglade but I’m just glad L7 is represented.

I agree, the points in this article are about clean energy, not the ability to continuously refresh a resource as you deplete it, however, to play devil’s advocate:

Wood, specifically, is not likely renewable at a sufficient rate. i.e. it is impossible to grow enough wood to meet any significant energy requirements. While it is technically renewable, if we treat it as such, we will deplete resources faster than we can replace them.

This is a silly argument I am making, and requires a narrow definition ignoring other bio-fuels which, while unproven at scale, would potentially remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

I honestly have never been into an apple store. Why would we want this?

The vagueness of this statement is pretty telling of the competence of these ‘founders’. Rich assholes who have a ‘vision’ and make people who actually work figure out what the fuck is going on.

Like the whole bumper sticker thing “I bought this before Elon went crazy”

How about a bumper sticker that says “this car is fully insured”.

I was thinking rainbow face paint with interesting paterns

Masks work too though.

Is that the type they put in turon? I love those things.

Kinda makes me think of Filipino spaghetti. Banana ketchup and hotdogs! Actually not as bad as it sounds.

I associate it with “The Space Merchants” and their corporate congress.

It’s a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat… Really good read.

I am bleeding, making me the victor

holy crap there is a starlink alternative? Do they work in the US? I would love high speed internet at my house but Im in the sticks I get the most attenuated DSL signal allowed. Last I looked into starlink there was concerns about the long term viability of the technology. If I remember right, the network would get congested pretty easily. That plus Musk had me shying away, but if there is an alternative…

I think the community subscription model in the article fixes this (imperfectly). Pancakepurists@a.com can have strict rules while pancakeparty@b.com could subscribe to it and pancakepurists could subscribe back with the understanding that the rules are slightly different there. Pancakechaos@nazi.assholes could similarly link to both those without either having to be mutually interactive.

I think the problem comes from some increased moderation loads by allowing a community to follow another. If I were to put on my paranoid hat it could be used to monitor and brigade a community. I think the solution for that is moderation tools. Banning instances, federation etc. I’m not a mod anywhere so I don’t know what is possible.

Personally I think proposal 2 and 3 should happen concurrently. Using the example in the post I would setup a custom feed (that can hopefully consolidate cross posts) for breakfast. I would put pancakes@a.com which subscribes to pancakemasters@b.com I can also add pancakeart@a.com and waffles@a.com. so when someone posts about the best homemade peanut butter syrup recipe that is cross posted to my pancake and waffle communities, I don’t get 4 posts about it, I can see it once and choose where to reply (pancakes obviously, I’m a waffle purist).

Community interlinking/subscription fixes a slightly different problem than custom feeds IMO. It’s a really good idea, but I would personally still want custom feeds (with the ability to handle crossposts in a customizable way).

I used to have an old beige box router with dual nics. It would hum me to sleep at night … I still have a box of wrt routers, you know, just in case someone needs one.
