I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.

I don't think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

Percentage population increases since 1961:

Cows: 178.61%

God dammit jesus fucking christ I was looking for an optimistic take where I showed you guys that farmed animal populations haven't gone up as fast as the human population but I was WRONG, not only are there many more of us but on average each one of us is also having radically more animals tortured on our behalves. Shit. Everyone wants to be middle class and here we are in our western post middle class phase going "No please, it's not what you think it is, we beg you" looking like absolute hypocrites. How do you convince the world to go vegan without looking like you're merely asking them to forego the luxury that your own liberal society has been dumping on you your entire life?

Although, I think the answer to the barrier to entry is to be less concerned with making federated services feel like centralized apps, more concerned with rebranding server select as the advantage that it actually is. Educate those people.

It's not gatekeeping, none of the opinions shared here by Linus are categorically leftist. The person retweeting him is erroneously putting him into a box, or knows more about his full ideology than he's shared in the tweet.

Asking someone if they support violence is like asking if they support the coriolis effect. It's a fact of life, not just for humans but every living thing, that we have to deal with sometimes. It's a nonsensical question in most contexts.

Better to ask if someone supports self-defense against violence.

In this case, if they support self-defense against institutional violence.

Sounds like a great way to get the functionality of bike lanes destroyed piecemeal as they're adapted first and foremost to the use of oversized North American emergency vehicles. In the end you get pulled over by an asshole cop on your bike for riding in "the ambulance lane" and you've gotta pay the fine as you can't miss work to dispute it.

No. Stand your ground here. Keep pushing back against the use of nonsensically oversized, outrageously expensive emergency vehicles. Cut down their argument at the ankles by bringing North American emergency response vehicles in line with the standards used by the rest of the world.

Low-weaponization nuclear reactors already exist, industrial-scale grid storage doesn't, but yes the answer to this dispute would be much more clear if it did!

Only one type of reactor, the old uranium design, produces anything weapons grade (Which then requires an additional step to purify). Don't use that reactor design.

Nuclear reactors do not need to use weapons-grade materials or byproducts.

I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos... From the same supplier.
