This is how mastodon works, you need account on each instance to follow it all and post there.

On lemmy you can have account on one instance and follow and post in all federated communities. Still doesn't solve following "local" from several instances but is already much easier.

One thing that I can't wrap my head around:

You, a random internet anon, decoded a potential financial strategy.

So do the big capital funds not have analyst teams who also decode that? Why would a big-time investor fall for a ploy so simple it can be explained in 3 sentences on a non-financial forum?

Wait... It's not "firm" as in "company that made the stuff"? FIRMware = the official software a firm pushes to patch things they make

Tell me you eat shitty meat without telling you eat shitty meat

Scooter. Not an electric one. I had a thought once "hey I did ride one in childhood, maybe it can be a bit of nostalgic fun from time to time". Got myself the cheapest Chinese thing I could find, "no point investing too much into a fad".

Turned out a scooter is absolute peak urban mobility. Short distances become much shorter. Mid-long distances become short. Granted, for a longer trip somehow the time gains diminish, probably because it's not as efficient as a bike. But a scooter isn't a long-hauler. It's there to zip through an empty mall. It's there to be folded up in a second and brought into a bus or a shop without being a hassle. It's like 3-4 kg, not too fast for sidewalks but fast enough for bike roads, extremely easy to stop, doubles as a cart when carrying bags of groceries home.

The chinese one broke after 1 season because I was riding it everywhere. Then I got myself one from a better company, I chose it for small weight and portability. It's technically children's thing but I'm well below weight tolerance and also smol so it's easy to handle. It's already like a 5th year and whenever it's not raining or too cold I ride it for shopping, errands, leisure walks, to work... Almost daily.

even fairly modern ones are slick, LG G4 (ok not exactly modern) is light and thin and with replacable battery. Gigaset smartphones are quite the bricks but it's actually quite hard to open the batt compartment, that's how well they're fitted.

absolutely scraped, fixed

Maybe, just maybe, if big capital steered by old conservative males leaves the internet will have less of a pressure to desexualize

Maybe not yet, but...

• Spez will turn Reddit into a bot farm and sell this as training data
• Musk turns Twitter into a bigoted cesspool and will sell this as training data, which will subsequently be flagged for low quality (also: a botfarm)
• Threads is a corporate ad dashboard (and we already know how easy it is to GPT copy) and Zuck will sell this as training data
• Facebook is either dead or only good for boomers and Poles
• blogs are dead
• Fediverse is out there waiting to be scraped but possibly too small to sustain a big model

We'te getting there, hopefully.

You are obviously aware that "we" do it all the time as well - but no sane intelligence agency will go out shouting in press "WE DID STEAL CHINESE OFFICIALS' EMAIL FOLKS, OUR AGENTS ARE TOP CYBERCOMMANDOS AMD LAST WEEK WE TOOK OVER A COMPUTER IN IRAN AND RECORDED THEIR MINISTER'S SECRET MEETING" Though actually Americans did go out shouting once recently, calling out Russia before they invaded Ukraine and making sure everyone gets the message "we know what russia is up to and we're ready". It was considered an extraordinary strategy when the sitting US president effectively broadcasted military intel.

How? I had to use nitter to get rss feeds of accounts and this is now obviously dead.
