This seems like a pretty good breakdown.

Yes, exactly, building parallel systems that actually cater to the needs of the local populace. Interconnecting those systems via federation sounds key to making it work!

It’s a little bit funny to see people talking about the benefits of centralization on a website that was built to be part of a larger decentralized network. As if we’re not here because of the problems with control and censorship in centralization. Reddit has a history of silencing leftist voices, yet those voices are more “free” to speak here on the Fediverse.

The entire point of the original structure of the internet was to build resilient communication networks for the military so if one node went down, a new path could be routed around the broken node.

Centralization absolutely leads to fascism because it gives all the controls to a handful of people who aren’t responsive to democracy.

Our representatives do not represent our interests because they are so far removed from us. We honestly need far more representatives representing far fewer people (like maybe a few hundred per representative) because then a rep has to be on a first name basis with their constituents and understand them because there are so few they represent. Either that or we need to bite the bullet and go direct-democracy and just have senators and house representatives just be figureheads who help write bills, with citizens having the final vote on each bill.

So they don’t need as much cooling, and will produce less waste heat due to the temperature coefficient of resistance.

And honestly in areas with colder year-round climates, the increase in ambient temps from running locally might actually reduce heating bills because it’s technically doing double duty of doing a job and heating the place.

D’oh! I knew I was forgetting something!

They are desperately trying to stave off the crash until Democrats have a majority so it can be blamed on the Democrats.

OK I went to the store and bought some queso dip… Now what?

not your keys

not your crypto

You can’t do this to me on the day Patrick Stewart died!

I already got my invitation 🙂 I hope I can afford it at some point, too.

Isn’t it a paid service, though? I trust Mozilla more than Proton as well… but I also can’t afford a paid service at the moment.

Tuta is based in Germany, so they are more likely to have to comply with information requests as Germany is part of the 14 Eyes international information sharing network. Thus countries like the USA may be able to get your info from Tuta legally.

Other than that? Honestly I’m not sure.

more like COVID hiring.

in June 2019 they had 144,000 employees.

2020 163,000 employees

2021 181,000 employees

2022 221,000 employees

now they have around 230,000 employees

the spike in hiring coincides with the rise of COVID and moving the whole world online

after losing 60,000 they will have 170,000, still almost 30k more than 7 years ago.

Be careful though, just like “Trump Derangement Syndrome” got swapped from meaning people crazed for Trump to meaning crazed against Trump… AI psychosis could be twisted by the media (tech bro owned) into “people who dislike AI are crazy.”

Always has been. Richard Stallman is a fucking creepy shitbag, but he was also right about a lot of things regarding software and software freedom.

They trapped Snowden in Russia and then called him a Russian spy by cancelling his passport, but this guy is fine I guess.

O’Brien’s a union debian man all the way.
