Is that actually in the bill, or are you just saying this could be the next move?

No, people are just addicted to their super engaging algos on twitter/insta/whatever, they're just unable to quit.

The lack of an algo, is exactly why it's good. It won't try to turn you into a zombie (= it's not designed to keep you hooked).

I think the lack of an algorithm to keep you engaged is what makes it better than Xwitter, and the main reason why I have a mastodon account, but I never had (nor ever will have) an account on Txitter.

True only if including when spoken as a second language. Chinese and Spanish are spoken by more people as a first language than English.

"The reality is that fossil fuels aren't going away for at least 100 years," said Nenad Miljkovic, a professor of mechanical science & engineering at UIUC and the project lead.

The reality is that either they go away much sooner, or we better start enjoying hurricanes, wildfires, rising seas and droughts a lot more than we do now.

I use kiwi browser now. It's still there and getting updates.

Hydrogen is an energy storage, like a battery, so of course it requires a lot of energy to produce, that's the energy that you get back when consuming it (minus inefficiency losses of course).

The advantage of hydrogen over fossil fuels is that it can be produced from renewable energy, while fossil fuels cannot.

I doubt it ... first, it's electric, and second, you cannot install a lift kit on it.

Unless you also convince the rest of the world to do the same, it's not gonna work.

It's gonna be like with mobile apps, where sure you can root your phone, or use a degoogled android rom, but then your bank will refuse to let you use their app (right now one can still use their website, but if this passes...), and a bunch of other things won't work by design.

Me boycotting my bank's app, or other root-averse apps, or non-google-android-rom averse apps, never stopped them from continuing to do what they do.

First time I hear about Arc. It's always nice to have more competition, but what's special about arc that makes it better, or, different?

I can hardly find any info from the website. For the little I can tell, this could be yet another chrome-powered browser, developed closed source, which respects your "privacy", unless it affects their bottom line, of course. But maybe I'm wrong ...

Why linking to an article that simply repeats what the original Reuters article says, but in an exxagerated, sensationalized and occasionally downright misleading way? To be clear, I'm never buying a Tesla for the exact reasons described in either article, and more, but I prefer things being stated more factually, less sensational:

Ok, so, big tech has too much power. Let's create a government controlled agency to keep them in check, what could go wrong? We all know governments always act in the best interest of their people.

Ok seriously, the problem is real and important, I'm just not sure this is the solution. Then again, I don't have any better idea, so maybe it's worth a try, it can't make things much worse ..can it?

The way it was meant to be, when social media started doing that, is that it verifies your identity. You use your real name (or stage name, or business name) in the account, and they "verify" it actually belongs to you and not an impostor.

Now instead, it verifies that you paid the fee, and your account name could be Napoleon Bonaparte for what they care.

So, gambling is addictive, makes you spend more and more money, occasionally when you're lucky you get a big payout, though on average you lose. It is heavily regulated worldwide.

Gaming is also addictive, makes you spend more and more money, but there's no chance of a payout, ever. Completely unregulated.

Time to rethink out regulations?

Interesting ... I always wondered why the .ml. In my trade ML is mostly used to mean "machine learning", aka AI, but it didn't seem fitting here.

Aw man that's awful, that's a reason why we left that ... but well done, gave me a laugh 😂

Nice! ... how exactly, I wanna know :)

I have my nextcloud server exposed, I keep it up to date, patched, etc. but I'd love to use the extra protection of a VPN. Just ... I don't think mobile apps work very well with that, unless I keep my phone constantly connected to the VPN, right? Or is there a smart way to do that?

I don't think you're out of touch, just use docker compose. It's not that hard to conver the docker run example command line into a neat docker-compose.yml, if they don't already provide one for you. So much better than just running containers manually.

Also, you should always understand what any command or docker compose file does before you run it! And don't blindly curl | bash either, download the bash script and look at it first.
