Those admins are unpaid?

Managing a store it's a LOT of work. And you are doing to provide profit for other people. Who is going to do it for free?

It's not like social media where people may volunteer to admin and mod, and users may donate because it's a common goal of share information, opinions, knowledge, funny stuff etc.

Here we are talking about bussiness that do what they do because they want money. I would not volunteer to admin a store so shop owners could earn money, that's for sure.

And I still not see the advantage of doing within the ActivityPub instead of just being a normal service where all interested shops could join.

In this example instances are stores, stores are users in instances? How stores are protected to be defederated by competitors (we are talking about money and making a living here).

What it adds to just a simple centralized service that any store can join. If you don't want it to be another amazon, make that service a coop. or some kinds of non-profit that it's paid by the stores that want to become part of that.

I think here we are in the classic conundrum of "a solution in search of a problem".

Fediverse and ActivityPub is cool, but it's a social media thing. And decentralization is cool when needed, for instance social media. But it doesn't have to make sense for every use case.

For what's being proposed there's zero actual need for decentralization or ActivityPub.

It's also Zero mission for me. The atmosphere and story are amazing.

I really don't see the appeal of activity-pub for this.

It's a protocol used for social media and interactions. You describe just sort of a "metastore".

Maybe a review store site could work better with activity pub.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But you examples are bot cutting off the middle man.

The person with the small computer store is still a middle man.

And being smaller usually means that their cut needs to be bigger to maintain themselves.

I wouldn't know what's "wrong" or "right" in these kind of matters.

You should do whatever is better for your mental health.

Are you better without having contact with your father or having contact with him?

It's the only question here.

You should be aware that you would not change his mind with this or make him question his beliefs. If something his beliefs would probably grow stronger after something like that.

You also should be aware that that action would have zero impact on the far right campaign.

So if you do this is for your own mental benefit, nothing else. Don't let any kind of pressure on any direction force you to do anything that's not the best for your mental health.

I would also consider just lowering the amount of contact and see how it goes instead of completely cut ties (an action that would have life lasting consequences)

To be true, for what I read, if I was in your situation I wouldn't cut ties. You said that he supports you, and for me that's the important thing in a father. I personally have no issues having personal relationships with people with vastly different political ideologies. My mental health does not suffer from that. But every person is different, so you do what's best for you.

I have hundreds of books in my kindle. But 0 on Amazon.

Good luck accessing my ebooks.

Big purchases require big screen.

As the world become more and more noisy. And people become more a more shitty with regards of doing noise without care about how it affects others. ANC become a necessity for some people.

Ooh I have donated to them. I did listed like hundreds of hours during long study sessions.

I have this book. It's a few Kb in size and I have already seed Gb of it. It has an insane ratio. I think I will never delete that torrent.

Afaik it's one very common kink.

Here it goes some more info about what different people feel enjoyable about that. I'll put in on a spoiler in case people don't feel comfortable reading about breath play.

I don't think there's a significant amount of people that complain about women led movies. Certainly not enough to just say "men" as a group.

Probably it's just a low quality ragebait post. Because I also don't think that there's a significant amount of people that believe that "men" don't like female led movies, first example that comes to mind is Kill Bill, most if not al men I know love that movie.

Edit: Funnily enough, I've been thinking and I don't think Kill Bill would pass a reversed Bechdel test: "two man talking to each other and the subject is not a woman". As there are little conversations between two man in the movie and probably most of them refer to the protagonist. Still a widely loved movie.

My kindle have not been connected to the internet since 2015.

If just for reading ereader is much easier on the eyes and amazing battery life. Completely different products I think.

It also has a Firefox extension that add download and subscribe buttons for Tubearchivist directly on youtube website.

I used it a few days ago to translate a math formula into code.

Here is the formula: https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/126b6117904ad47459ad0caa791f296e69621782

It's not the most complicated thing. I could have done it. But it would take me some time. I just input the formula directly, the desired language and the result was well done and worked flawlessly.

It saved me some time typing around. And searching online a few things.

Ok tidy up this place. We have visitors coming soon.
