OP is the world's foremost shower deliberator.

I have a reel mower, and my leaf blower is pretty quiet, but thanks.

Yes.

Doug Ford is famously dismissive of the media. He even created his own literal fake news outlet to avoid having too talk to them.

I'm setting up something similar using Unraid and VMs. This route would probably be more of a challenge for you technically.. But if you're willing to learn, and pay, Unraid sounds like it would be a good fit for what you're trying to accomplish.

Yeah but the whole solar system is moving at 720,000 km/h, so all those bikes on other planets are moving just as fast.

Fuck yeah, keep making these comments. At least for the next two weeks. Then kindly fuck off.

Because you need network effect. Which means you need big money for marketing, content moderation and development costs. That includes algorithms, which maybe you don't want, but most people do.

It's not that I want a for profit company, I just don't think Mastodon will every achieve critical mass without one.

Don't trust the polls is a precursor to stop the steal.

It's not the users, it's the developers / investors. I've tried so many times to get into Mastodon, but it sucks compared to Bluesky. It lacks content and polish, so it's no wonder everyday people choose Bluesky over it.

The real conundrum is why isn't there a for profit company with big money behind it, investing in ActivityPub. I guess you could point to Threads? But insert your "not like that" meme of choice.

Fwiw, apparently Bluesky did initially look at activity pub, but found the protocol lacking, which is why they invented ATProto. I don't know the details though.

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing!

The video on prefab housing they link to is also well worth a watch: https://youtu.be/26iVJfiDgP0

No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country

Toyota and Honda at least are already here

1. Lol, they didn't even remove the watermark.
2. Why throw Tom Hanks under the bus?

That's just the prediction on if the election were held today. I don't think the trend is showing any signs of stopping here. A couple weeks ago this same prediction gave the Cons an 80% chance at a majority. And even that was seen as a massive decline for them.

To what end? All that will do is increase volatility, discourage investment and tank the stock market.

Uh, I'd prefer if our militaries remained on friendly terms myself. Even if our politicians don't.

Not taking money from Google means Firefox dies. Straight up. There's absolutely no amount of "focusing on the basics" or cutting executive salaries that would make up the deficit, not even close.

We all wish that wasn't the case, me especially. But that's the reality.

I mean... I still need to go into the dealer to update my 2021 Toyota software. And they certainly don't provide updates for anything other than safety related issues.

Speak for yourself. I think that's one of the things Tesla got right. Cars shouldn't have features locked behind software updates though.
