Wait no more! https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/14/biden-administration-has-canceled-66-billion-in-student-debt.html

I'm frankly shocked conservatives are doing everything they can to prevent it!

Worked fine for me from kbin

Its amazing how much "fraud" they claim when they speak publicly yet they have nothing to say when they are under oath in a court room.

That may be, I'm just dismissing that "assets are cheap" is evidence that there is no cabal. I'm not sure who is fighting over the scraps- Rothschilds and Carnegies? I haven't heard of that.

I don't know about "pipe-dream". There are organizations we're aware of that literally control economic conditions of the world such as the Federal Reserve. Do you remember voting for anyone on the Fed board? They are appointed by presidents. We vote for a president in America- but we can decide between the rep-party backed candidate or the dem-party backed candidate. If you can't convince one party to support you there is literally 0 chance to win in a "first-past-the-post" electoral system. I see a system of "checks and balances" but not one that benefits us.

I think that your scenario is more likely (which to me, is that what we're seeing is just the outcome of deregulated capitalism) but I wouldn't fall out of my chair to find that strings are being intentionally pulled by the people who control the world to benefit themselves.

When the economy is in shambles they buy-up assets at a steep discount. Wars are big money-makers too. It looks like things are going great for them.

Is that so different than how the fediverse currently works? Subscribed content is already being federated across instances I'm just asking it to be organized together. When your instance federates with a community on another instance it doesn't get the entire "5-year" backlog sent to it; only new posts and old content that someone interacts with is sent.

I think there are limits to the scalability of the fediverse, in general, I just don't see how organizing the data differently is breaking anything. Only the most limited servers are going to be impacted from receiving content from three /c/butterflies instead of one. Most people are probably subscribed to the duplicate communities already; I certainly am.

require all participating communities to store ALL of the data.

Wait, what? No, not at all. There is no reason for them to redundantly store all the data.

Imagine the same concept but the data is just being aggregated. The purpose is that content gets more exposure and engagement not to create an archive.

All I'm saying is that if /c/butterflies exists on multiple instances they should be able to "aggregate" themselves as if they were one instance. We don't have enough users to isolate small communities; they have no shot here.

If large federated communities want to exclude others... those others can just form their own federated group. We're still in a much better position than if we had one large community on a single instance or a speckling of tiny ones across the fediverse that aren't large enough to drive engagement.

In the current model small communities are forced to choose a server. When that server goes down we lose an entire community. Two examples off the top of my head are Firefox and Android. We can't count on legends to save us every time. And why go through that chaos when we have the underlying systems to avoid it?

Ah nice. Lemmy does better in that regard. I know kbin isn't pruning anything yet.

You are literally describing reddit. Allowing mods to federate communities together would be novel.

The beauty of the fediverse is that when one volunteer-run server goes down (as happens all the time) there is little disruption if your feed is filling with other instance's content. You can't count on these volunteer-run servers to have 99.9% uptime like reddit, they can disappear over night.

Same idea for communities. If lemmy.world disappears tomorrow there are dozens of communities that disappear with it; fragmented across the fediverse. If mods of those communities were federated with complementary communities on other instances then there is no disruption.

I don't think that communities should automatically federate, it should be agreed to by the mods. But with the current population we can't afford to keep identical communities isolated. Many will die a slow death when together it could have been thriving.

How long have you been running it? My personal kbin instance filled its 100gb disk, with media, after only a few weeks.

Oh, I thought you were talking about EndeavourOS.

Speaking of arch-installer there is an install script included with arch that can get you to the graphical desktop of your choice with little input. I used it for my current install and it was very easy.

Nobody offers the service that I can offer myself. Not even close.

I've lived outside NYC and in SoCal. I don't think fair to only consider the total numbers (especially "living outdoors") when one place is freezing and inhospitable for a few months every year while the other is relativity (and in some parts, actually) a tropical paradise. People are going to migrate from all around the country to the most comfortable places to live outside. Not to mention cities literally bussing their homeless out- NYC was actually the first and still has the largest program:

New York appears to have been the first major city to begin a relocation program for homeless people, back in 1987. After the current iteration of the program was relaunched during the tenure of mayor Michael Bloomberg, it ballooned, and its relocation scheme is now far larger than any other in the nation. The city homelessness department budgets $500,000 for it annually.

I've not done it myself but I've done a ton of other linux projects. Just read through the instructions and see if there is anything you don't understand. Figure out your exit strategy before you start: how do you revert to ChromeOS if you are at an impasse? Trust that there are at least dozens of people who have already run into every problem you could have and have posted about it somewhere on the internet with a solution.

Sounds like you're in a good spot to try it since you have more than one on-hand. Good luck!

This is a good idea. If it grouped similar searches together and only counted them as "one" it would feel a lot more usable.

Yea, it's not very good. Don't subscribe to any lemmit communites. I don't think you can block them from Lemmy if you use /all.

Yep, that's what I ended up doing. It worked amazingly well for my simple task while i struggled with "types" or something.
