He’s term-limited anyway. Just hope he doesn’t pave the way for Le Pen or some other out and out fascist to take over for him.

Also a planet-burning machine. They’re very versatile that way.

Something like a syndication model makes a lot of sense. Certainly more sense than every studio or legacy network trying to operate its own streamer. I also see a lot of potential in FAST services like Pluto, Freevee, and Tubi. Locking old content behind a premium-priced ad-free streamer isn't necessary.

I'll add to this family-sized apartments. US building requirements steer developers to studios and 1-beds and make it very hard to fit good 3-bed layouts on a floorplate and away from smaller buildings of any size. A lot of it, actually, comes down to egress requirements that don't allow point-access blocks. Read more here: https://www.larchlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Larch-Lab-PAB_Policy-Brief.pdf

If you’re on Apple platforms you can try NetNewsWire. Comes with a Safari extension that you can use to easily add a feed and it syncs with iCloud and/or Feedly. Edit: grammar

That's just it, they don't! You can call and complain and have your bill reduced 50% just cuz. It's all made up.

Spacetime is really a wonderful channel. The way they make actual quantum physics comprehensible to normal people is incredible.

That’s my problem, actually. I very much do not want music bundled with ad-free YouTube. I’d pay a reasonable price for an unbundled version, but the Premium family plan is more than the top-tier Netflix or Max subscription.

They already sent a legal warning to them but apparently didn’t realize that Invidious doesn’t use their API and never agreed to any terms of service.

Also you can't block communities on Mlem, which is really annoying if you don't want to see all the yiff content

 

Anchorage, Alaska is considering a dramatic simplification of zoning codes to address their housing shortage. The proposal divides the city into just two residential zones, one for areas with municipal services and one for areas on wells and septic. Not only greater density but also compatible non-residential uses would be permitted.
