90% of us watch Netflix, Plex, YT TV or some other streaming service, how do I watch these with 4k quality without connecting to the Internet? That's just an unrealistic request for 90% of TV users.
it’s that the amount of people that want fascism is way too high
Perhaps in the Midwest, but I believe there are areas of the US that this doesn't represent such as the west coast.
I see a split amongst US inevitable and it was basically written in stone the day the Democrats supported genocide and again each time they choose billionaires over their constituents. In my opinion we need to start moving these states in that direction.
You won't be able to do a thing without some level of invasion of privacy (phone # verification would probably be the best).
We're unfortunately rapidly approaching the point where we have to make a decision A) a little invasion or B) allowing bots to roam free and spread propaganda across all major social platforms. Even if you choose path A it's up to the platform to implement it properly. See tiktok the racism and propaganda there has SKYROCKETED since being "allowed" to stay in the US (backdoor agreements to allow propaganda bots)
You're actually right they are decentralized and your account would continue existing if you had your own PDS and either you or someone else was running a relay.
The OP above is essentially saying what if the relay goes down, but anyone can run a relay it just costs a few hundred a month and there's little reason to do so (right now).
Usually people on this side of the Fediverse aren't in the know on the AT Proto inner workings.
One thing you can point out is protocol ownership, Bluesky owns the AT Proto protocol and can change it however they like while ActivityPub is a W3C ownership so a lot more resilient (albeit slower changes)
They are decentralized, the architecture is just more complicated and harder to run, but they are in fact decentralized.
You can run your own pds(data host), relay (pulls data from all pds), app view (app frontend), moderation (still in progress albeit), and even algorithms.
We have to stop saying they aren't decentralized just because it's more complicated and restrictive, large social media platforms will inherently be complicated and expensive in order to be reliant and fast.
Who would've thought that when you raze neighborhoods to the ground, force the dislocation of tens of thousands of people, and systematically detonate their schools and healthcare institutions there would be repercussions from them?
I spent a lot of time trying to find an open source self hosted tool to replace mint and ended up just moving to Monarch and paying. Honestly it's been a really great experience as if long as you don't mind the annual $50.
I swapped my gaming PC from Windows to PopOS a few months ago and it's been a seamless experience with driver installation with an Nvidia GPU / AMD CPU
One of Trump's biggest issues with Canada is supposably US banks not being allowed access. I would not put it past him to attempt to deny the reverse on a whim leaving you high and dry.
I know it's very hated but this is precisely why crypto was created, just keep it in a stablecoin (USDT, DAI) instead of a variable price coin. Obviously it's not usable as a payment system yet, I typically use credit cards for everything then pay them off monthly.
Kendrick's performances usually have a lot of layers to them that aren't immediately visible to everyone and people eventually discover and break them down, but I can see how things might look weird if you're out of the loop on anything.
One example is Serena crip walking, given her prior relations with Drake.
Another is the Gil Scott-Heron quote and the split US flag.
I'm assuming he had to dial back as well to get approved given the lyrical censorship, I'm surprised the Uncle Sam bit got approved. Also hilarious how the dude waving the Palestinian flag wasn't on TV.
Definitely wasn't just you, I've noticed Reddit actively feeds me content from subs I'm subscribed to that will bait me to argue with less than 100 upvotes, meanwhile it won't show me major posts from the same sub that I actually wish to see.
This smoke screen around LGBTQ+ and anti immigration has been stoked for nearly 30 years in order to veer away from the actual discussion and laws around wealth inequality, healthcare, etc. It's all a guise against minority groups who can't fight back. Sometimes positive sometimes negative, but at the end of the day billionaires stoke the fear around these minority groups and they get to keep growing their billions without restriction.
Even if the higher ups somehow agree (which would be insane), the actual troops are the ground are 50% POC or minorities. I can't imagine them going through this hatred by the whitehouse and still continuing to follow orders. There will be a break in chain of command at some point.
Also peep the military subreddit on Reddit they are talking about breaking chain a lot, whether they will it's still to be tested but it's definitely indication of where things lie.
I see this thrown around a lot.
