I would say no to me it’s more like IRC. Its small enough to be not noticed by influence operations as much and each instance has its own personality just like IRC networks. It’s a great mix of local community and access to a wider view points.

It’s because Christianity incorporated a lot of pagan rituals into Christianity and some pagan gods became catholic saints.

this has more to do with they got caught lying about their ad numbers and inflated their ad prices. So now they are doing this to show their shareholders they are doing something to protect their revenue and thus keep their stock price inflated.

and the in group gets smaller this is the normal next step of any fascism. insert quote about “first they come for X and I said nothing” .

Brazil (1985)

Netflix used the SAAS all the code is in the cloud and we don’t distribute it loophole of the GPL v2

i always wonder if you include the older titles that just don’t work anymore on modern windows but work fine on proton. i wonder what a windows user library percentage wouldn’t be. I knows it would not be 100%. It seems they always forget those when windows users complain about Linux/proton compatability.

honestly I think they missed the point of why the show was popular. People are in desperate need of a well written positive and hopeful show. It had people that were likeable and they helped each other. That is missing from most TV. Most of TV today is ether melodrama like really TV or dystopian mystery boxes with no payoff.

tildeverse is great learn about gemini it’s the underground internet right out of of the early 90s.

Did anyone else have the thought, we will have to do this just to survive on earth soon?

Tim Cain is the man. you can’t go wrong with the guy that created Fallout.

Beau of the fifth column on YouTube is just for this he tries to reach people at that level and doesn’t talk down to them and is great on foreign policy concepts.

i had my mother ask me to reassure her I would take care of her when she got really old and can’t work . she is in her 60s now and still works. I had to break it down to her. I honestly don’t think i will be able to even if I wanted to.

She has no savings in any meaningful way and had this 1000 yard stare as I told her. i felt bad but when you are forced to live a minimalist mind set and don’t have any social safety net. these honest conversations should be had now vs when the time comes.

To make sure they don’t have the rug pulled out from under them when they day comes. I expect most boomers. See their kids as an insurance policy so don’t pay attention and get manipulated into voting against their interest for two minutes of hate of the day.

you have no idea how much that happens with foreign policy. it’s not about right or wrong when it comes to foreign policy. countries don’t have friends or morals they have interests both international and domestic. That can change on a dime.

I say we compromise we will take the moon but they must give up daylight savings. it’s only fair.

I honestly agree and America is the dumbass that microwaved their iPhone to charge it.

i will agree with this when Linux has 5 to 10% market share just enough to where manufacturers can’t ignore us anymore. The problem will come cause the stuff they ignore us with. Is full featured but garbage drivers with Spyware like crap print drivers with pop-up ads or games with rootkits for drm.

steam deck proves this. If everyone loved windows so much they would install it on the deck but they don’t. Microsoft pays the PC makers in the states a lot of money to keep Windows Pre-Installed. Even then Hp put our a dev Linux Laptop because Dev’s want a Unix like OS ether Linux or Mac.

I don’t even think Ted is in it minus the name on the building from the trailer. I would kill for a blue and gold movie. im a huge Ted Kord fan as well from back in the JLI days.
