  • I have a reel mower, and my leaf blower is pretty quiet, but thanks.

  • I'm setting up something similar using Unraid and VMs. This route would probably be more of a challenge for you technically.. But if you're willing to learn, and pay, Unraid sounds like it would be a good fit for what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Yeah but the whole solar system is moving at 720,000 km/h, so all those bikes on other planets are moving just as fast.

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • Because you need network effect. Which means you need big money for marketing, content moderation and development costs. That includes algorithms, which maybe you don't want, but most people do.

    It's not that I want a for profit company, I just don't think Mastodon will every achieve critical mass without one.

  • Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

    Jump

  • Don't trust the polls is a precursor to stop the steal.

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • It's not the users, it's the developers / investors. I've tried so many times to get into Mastodon, but it sucks compared to Bluesky. It lacks content and polish, so it's no wonder everyday people choose Bluesky over it.

    The real conundrum is why isn't there a for profit company with big money behind it, investing in ActivityPub. I guess you could point to Threads? But insert your "not like that" meme of choice.

    Fwiw, apparently Bluesky did initially look at activity pub, but found the protocol lacking, which is why they invented ATProto. I don't know the details though.

  • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

  • No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country

    [Meta] 2025Q1 - What are the objectives of our Fair Vote community?

    Jump

  • I originally posted this in a separate post, but was redirected here. It's more about the "how" rather than the "what", original text below:

    The community description explicitly states that this community is non-partisan. I think this is a very smart call because we'll need people with all sorts of different political ideologies to get onboard if we're ever going have a shot at implementing some form of PR.

    However lately the sub seems to be filled with anti Poilievre articles that don't seem to have anything to so with electoral reform. I'm no fan of Poilievre, but in my experience electoral reform is already unfairly labeled as a "leftist" policy.

    My opinion is that the most important thing we can do is help conservatives understand that PR is in their best interest just as much as it is for people on the left. It means the conservative movement no longer needs to live under one giant tent. It will be able to split into multiple parties that can then form coalitions on the issues that matter to them. Conservatives on the fringe benefit because at least they'll have some representation in parliament.

    Anyway, any conservatives who are interested in electoral reform and come peek at this community will be immediately turned off by the content that's here. So please, let's try to keep posts as non-partisan as possibly, and focused on things relevant to electoral reform!
