what was the original reasoning for them giving him immunity in the first place.
In my view, it's a stop gap measure. The real issue is the lifetime appointments. We just had one president choose 3 justices, who all get lifetime appointments. That is beyond insane, and if packing the courts right now will help alleviate that imbalance I think it should be advocated for. Of course in the long term we will want term limits, or maybe some sort of rotation system, but for now I think that's the most politically effective way forward.
Is Hogwarts Legacy any good?
With all the controversy around the game, I pretty much ignored anything to do with it at launch. Since the game is on sale right now I wanted to know, is it actually any good? If it is I'd like to play it.
As I prepare to not sleep for the next two days.
This is not a good comparison. Our bodies are not engineered by anyone, but our software is.
If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place
Corporations don't just sit out on new technologies, and no matter how hard you try you can't force them to. Defederating from Meta's new project preemptively is naive, and will not do much of anything.
Protocols are going to be adopted by corporations, whether we like it or not. SMTP, LDAP, HTTP, IP and 802.11 are all examples of that. If it ends up that meta is able to destroy the fediverse simply by joining it, that is a design flaw on OUR end. Something would then clearly need to be different in order to prevent future abuse of the protocol.
FOSS is propped up by corporations. By for profit corporations. If you want to stop those corporations from killing projects, you put safety guards up to make sure that doesn't happen. You don't just shut them out and put your head in the sand.
Bro what the fuck is going on right now lmao
I honestly don't know if I believe any of this. It could be one big distraction, and I think the people in high positions of power are skeptical as well.
I never understood why everyone moved to discord. Regardless of this, it actually just sucks and is hard to use. Discord really gives me hope that the fediverse will succeed, just because the UI sucks so fucking much.
Bro's in a wheel chair and still vetoed it, damn
Honestly, a lot of people might disagree but, corporate involvement is essential to FOSS projects surviving. The biggest FOSS project on the planet, Linux, is literally propped up by the biggest corporations on the planet.
The only potential issue I see here is maybe Meta forks ActivityPub and it becomes a "Meta Project" or some other fuckery. Outside of that I don't see any major issues with it. If we want ActivityPub to become something greater, we're going to need corporations on board. We have strong protections in place right now with a lot of the stuff that's being used being under strong copyleft licenses, and decentralization by nature is going to allow us to opt out of a lot of the ads and tracking that takes place by being forced to use an official app.
What are some good biking ponchos? Preferably not too expensive.
Trying to prepare for the day where I'm out and I get caught in the rain.
How dangerous is it to ride in a city without any bike lanes?
Where I live there are almost no bike lanes, not even the shitty painted ones. How dangerous is it to get on the road with all of the other cars?
Do you listen to music while cycling?
I just got my new (used) bike, and I'm also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I'm traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you're cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?
this happened?
I feel that RTJ is one of the only groups that properly mixed electronics with hip hop and it still sounded cool. We go a lot of bad EDM/HipHop crossovers in the 2010s.
Firstly, I want to say I appreciate your dedication to creating a well moderated and maintained community.
However, I feel like this is an overall bad decision.
Essentially what I'm thinking is, how is this sustainable?
The amount of control that youre trying to achieve here is going to create an increasingly small and insular community. Also, there is a serious risk of burn out on the moderation end if you're attempting to currate this much, the more this server grows the harder this is going to be to maintain.
With the type of platform that this is, we're going to have a wide variety of people. A lot of them are just going to be bad people. Simply defederating won't fix this, and it will also be a problem here even with manually approved sign ups.
If people want to, they will just lie to get in. Essentially your system right now relies on people not lying to you when they sign up. A targeted harassment campaign could easily overcome that.
What's next? Are we going to deferate kbin.social and mastodon.social? Why don't we just defederate every instance? Even the biggest social media platforms have a seriously hard time moderating content they actually don't want on their platform. You can literally find porn on Youtube.
Tipping your hand on the scales this much is really stressful for a small team, and often doesn't lead to the outcomes that you thought you wanted. I hope in the near future you refederate, but I understand if you don't.
Yeah, I make my own music. I haven't put out my album though yet lol
Yes, I think so. It's a lot easier to maintain your distro if the maintainers of the project handle everything regarding application packaging.
I think morally and optically speaking, anything that endorses Loli or Shota is disgusting. On the basis of them saying they are "friendly" to that type of content, they should be delisted, regardless of if you see it as soon as you login or not.
