The admins are asking what the threat is, and the only response so far has been “but they are evil”.

Aside from the “well duh” factor, and the fact that this wasn’t even a secret, The demo had to happen long before it was ready to ship because the FCC filings were slated to go public and they didn’t want the world to find out about the phone from that source.

This wasn’t the demo of a defective unit shipped to customers, it was the demo of incomplete software and hardware. The reception of the first iPhone was overwhelmingly positive. So much so that Google abandoned their plans for Android being a BlackBerry knockoff.

I’m not talking about interactions between instances, I’m talking about Google and Bing indexing Mastadon. That’s who we should be using for search.

Sigh. Time for another round of patents that all say the same thing, except instead of “…but using the internet” they will be “…but using AI”.

No, you are disappointed that Mastadon doesn’t have the same feature set as Twitter. The fact that you can search off instance at all is impressive. What you are asking for is like saying you should find GM cars in Ford’s search bar. Each instance is its own website. Search engines are designed to do what you want, and as Mastadon grows in popularity, it’s search results will become more prominent.

Store managed delivery/pickup seems to be growing since the pandemic. I think they discovered that the reduced theft and the ability to sell imperfect produce more than covers the cost of the system.

I foresee one or both platforms implementing a bridge api, if they don’t outright switch to the other’s protocol.

The important part is normalizing federated social networks.

So my point isn’t that there is some great threat from Republicans. It is just vastly more likely for any given kid to be abused by a Republican than by a drag queen. Yes, this is a population effect. This doesn’t mean we should single out Republicans for discrimination, just that they need to stop treating people who dress funny as an inherent threat.

But proportions aren’t really useful for protecting children when there isn’t a significant deviation from the general population. However, on a given day, a random child is much more likely to encounter a Republican child predator than a drag queen child predator. Now add in the overwhelming statistics that show child predators are usually known to and trusted by the child’s parents, and the emphasis that conservatives place in trusting those placed in authority above them, and you have a recipe for disaster.

So logically, since it is a much larger threat, a much larger effort should be made to protect children from Republicans.

To cats, all things are a cat bed, prey, or both.

Go into embedded software. You can’t do ads if there is no UI taps head.

They already are, by monetizing the content they didn’t create, and paying creators just a fraction of the revenue generated.

Remember that T-mobile gives a bottom line prices, while AT&T and Verizon add a bunch of junk fees. Be sure to check into that before you switch.

No doubt your logic is based on the carbon footprint of two cars - the old ice and the new BEV.

Where that logic falls down is the old ICE becomes a more affordable efficient used car that can replace an older ICE that it blowing blue smoke. Further, new BEV become used BEV in a few years. Used BEV are becoming quite affordable and cost effective. They are also far outlasting their projected battery life.

Finally, demand for BEV increases R&D on more efficient storage technologies that are cheaper and have a smaller environmental footprint.

Yes, more and better public transport should be a thing. But the US is just too big - and in many cases too empty - for ubiquitous public transport to be cost or environmentally efficient.

The court is limited to 9 by law. He’s need a majority in the house and eliminate the filibuster to change that.

I really like photon. It is very multi-alt friendly, and I can run my own instance of it locally.

Let’s remember that a bastard who married rich that had a good deal of influence on how our government works. He definitely was making sure that he had a future.

Attempt? That was the original intent. They still wanted aristocracy, they just wanted it to be wealth based instead of hereditary.
