They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what's already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else's server is going to very quickly make that server go away.

And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.

Steep (snowboarding, skiing, paragliding, wingsuiting) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (fast travel is an option, but come on, enjoy that ride!) are the two that I really enjoy.

And who is going to pay for the bandwidth and storage space on those peertube instances?

I mean, I too want to get away from YouTube, but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

For side boob? The busty tree didn't get hidden behind a spoiler tag, but I'll hide the busty mouse.

Ok, hear me out... A calendar where Gadget is the pinup girl ::: spoiler Caution, side boob ahead

Dems were hoping that it would be a close election... there was no real expectation that they would win.

Wasn't that with the old administration?

We have a safe at work where we keep backups and 'legal hold' stuff. We hardly ever need to get into it. The first audit we had after I started and the guy who had been running things walks up to the safe and just opens it... without entering the code. The auditor looks at me, and I look at my employee and ask him if the safe is broken, and he said "No, I put the code in earlier so it would be easier to open for the audit."

Needless to say, we got dinged on that part of the audit.

I don't know about you, but it's pretty obvious when you meet someone who is poly.

I've found that going into a casino is a great way to exchange money when going to Canada.

I think what they mean is that, technically, Musk has a mind.

It used to be common but now people have too low standards.

It is more to do with being locked into a walled garden. If your community and family use Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. then you either have to stay, or get left out.

In the new US Constitution we should include Data Portability as a right.

I wonder how difficult it would be to create a 3D printed part that could hold thermite to a road flair that is rigged to ignite on impact after being dropped from a quadcopter?

It's just really fucking fun to do! Everyone should try tossing a molatov cocktail at a Tesla.

But there's a chance the foster family would at least get them their vaccinations.

Who's making excuses? I believe I made it abundantly clear that these changes are bullshit. But it is also shitty journalism to heavily imply that everyone on Social Security is going to have to start going to a SSA office in person, when that is not the case.

And yes, community won't be able to replace this system... but maybe we should still try, because like it or not, the fascists are currently in control and we need to do something to cover the gap between when things start getting bad (now) to when things are really bad (later) to when things are hopefully getting better (much later). But assholes will still flock to the comments to fight amongst themselves screaming that the lack of a perfect solution means we shouldn't do anything.

I never said, nor implied, that Biden's apparent lack of authority was his fault. Also, my name is Bob, not Lemmy.

No, the headline and summary above are leaving out the fact that you can still access the SSA through their website. This is just removing the telephone option, and if you can't use the website then the only other option is to go to an office. I'm assuming that since you are on Lemmy, you have internet access.

Beginning March 31st, people will no longer be able to verify their identity to the SSA over the phone and those who cannot properly verify their identity over the agency’s “my Social Security” online service, will be required to visit an agency field office in person to complete the verification process, agency leadership told reporters Tuesday.

The headline and the summary are omitting this very important part: 'those who cannot use their online service'. The change from the trump administration is complete bullshit, but the article isn't doing any favors by making it sound like an in-person visit is the only way to interact with SSA.

What we need to do is create community groups that are able to pick up this slack. Check in on people on Social Security, bring computers and mobile hotspots to people's homes to help them. Credit Unions should offer this service when someone on Social Security opens a new account and will need to have their checks coming to a new account. If someone does need to go to a Social Security office then people in the community should make sure they have a ride. People could even setup shop outside of a Social Security office to help people who may not actually need be at the Social Security office, which will help to ease the strain on the SSA, opening up spots for people who actually need to be there.

It is bullshit, but we can't rely on the government any more and we need to build community systems to help those that trump is letting down.
