Don’t try to mirror something from reddit. There’s an instance that does that, lemmit.online, and many if not most instances have defederated because it’s a blight on the land.

It’s counterintuitive but making a bot to post reddit content here acqually squashes engagement here.

The best thing to do is to post content.

Another way to say the same thing: it’s confirmation bias.

Other forms have been imagined and in many cases tried but representative democracy (even when it’s really just an illusion) is the only way to organise large populations of people.

I’m not in the market for a BYD but I’m stoked to see Telsa taking a beating.

Partly correct.

It’s true that anyone with nefarious intent would still be able to encrypt things.

However, it means law enforcement doesn’t need to bother decrypting things to make arrests.

I’m not really thinking of Nazi Germany at all.

When things go bad Trump will blame them on someone.

That’s the whole debate though. What is your responsibility as a citizen?

I’m so weary of talking about it ad-nauseam.

Ultimately these questions about jury nullification are irrelevant because you’ll never have 12 jurors who think subverting the court process can achieve justice.

I’d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Fair enough. I hadn’t realised you could get 100Mbps with skymuster. That’s better than a lot of wired residential connections, although the latency is not great I presume.

Starlink will be a lot harder for people to boycott than Tesla.

In rural Australia for example there just isn’t much alternative. Sure people survived there before Starlink, but you didn’t need an internet connection to start your start your tractor then (a mild exaggeration).

The guy in the article is commendable, would be hard to turn away if your business depends on it.

I’m really excited that eutel (?) has emerged as a possible alternative, although it’s not clear whether they will ever service Australia.

Timie for the daily reminder that economic hardships will be blamed on migrants, the gayness, abortions, primary school teachers, et cetera. A recession will fuel fascist agendas.

Yes.

Is this some kind of stunt? Like they know it’s not going anywhere but they can read their witty bill into the record for giggles. What an embarrassment. Who votes for these toddlers?

Trump and musk couldn’t care less about protests outside embassies.

The Tesla protests are hurting musk.

That’s because if he acknowledges he was wrong he also has to acknowledge he let his daughter die through neglect.

Not so hard to understand really.

We can simultaneously acknowledge that this idiot let his daughter die and that he will pay the ultimate price for that stupidity every day for the rest of his life.

Isn’t it 12m?

Either way, def going to have a huge impact. This could cause more health issues than Chernobyl.

Just speechless really.

Yeah that’s pretty much my take.

It sucks that content creators are fixated on advertising revenue or whatever they get from subscriptions.

Time Team is doing really well with patreon by offering exclusive content there.

I personally am not really sure that the peer to peer bandwidth model for peertube is the right way to go. I’m also certain that peertube is a terrible name.

I think something federated with channels providing their own bandwidth but discoverable from other instances might be the way to go.

Yeah I have indeed been to Tasmania.

I managed to see a platypus in the wild which is not that easy to do in the last 30 years.

It’s probably more similar to Vancouver Island than Western Australia is just because it’s a few degrees cooler than here. We both have epic forests.

Bears aside, I was looking at satellite imagery of this area a few weeks ago. It looks dreamy.

I live in the south west corner of Western Australia which is obviously different but still a sparsely populated wilderness.

I suspect your retort is too witty for silly old me to understand.

I was trying to be helpful.
