Try living outside and migrating.

We need them pointed at every tech CEO constantly.

His version of a weighted blankie.

We’re at that point in Brazil where everything behind the screens is devastated and wrecked for profit, and now if you want to see any sign of nature you need a graphics card.

But that’s in California, where anything natural is on fire or is sliding across Malibu into the ocean.

So just a preview unless these people are stopped.

The mutations can be from that list, but mostly in our current world it’s exposure to toxins.

Another toxin is media paving over real causes and making the story monetise curing.

All cancer is toxin exposure. The cure has been known for a long time, no toxin exposure.

Butt…families of cancer victims vote for pollution and smoke, etc.

Lost a family member to cancer in a cancer cluster around a church-owned industrial plant.

When the cases piled up, they did like Jesus woukd do and moved to another state. Didn’t have money for raises for years because working for the Lord, but did hire consultants to fire employees and shut the plant down.

Keep believing us, we care, and we’re working on a cure until federal funding and charities run out of money.

Sponsored by your friends in the petrochemical industry.

The 2 largest mastodon instances both misrepresented involvement or intent with Meta to their users, then turned around and federated.

Those were/are the best chance for the fedi to leap forward.

They are the most popular and also now the keast likely to be used by tech people, both because if the association and because they misled their users.

The admins of those, one of which is the masto dev, have arguably done more harm to the fedi than anyone else. People left for bluesky right after the bragconfession and openly posted about why.

So it’s not in the room with me, because I dropped their scene and closed all my accounts.

It takes a moral village idiot to compromise the whole environment just to grab some cash for their subsequent honeymoon. Not unlike current Twitter management thinking, and not unlike social media thought-levels in general.

Tried Masto and Pixelfed, left after The Great Sellout to Meta. Trying Lemmy for now but it’s limited in breadth and scope.

I’d like to see a fedi digest app more than anything, gathers it all up and presents it. Then if I want to interact I can sign up for one of them. But first I want to see where things are.

In general, the technically-discerning aren’t going to care as much about quantity, more about quality and features.

I’d like to block every wealthy narcissist and never read their name or see their troubled insane faces in posts, I’m fed up with the narrative on both sides and have other interests.

So if Frontpage gathered it all up and filtered out the paid narratives and shills I get to choose, while letting me follow interesting minds, I’d be very interested.

If it had a prominent link to which instance, it might become clear what instance and software is best for me.

Right now I like Piefed’s ability to filter and not Lemmys militaristic intentional inability to do so.

Masto filtered, but doesn’t migrate well and now federates with the shitasses on Meta, which I don’t want to consort with or support. If I want to sign up for Meta it’s not hard, but I haven’t ever done so and don’t need coercive help from fake empaths running .social instances. I’m not a farm animal, Stux.

I think the fedi got it backwards, new users need to browse first to find what they want. I get it as a techie kind, but right now it’s forbidding to many with all the unknown choices.

If Frontpage, someday, can also interpolate comments and vote between the softwares that survive, that’d be a nice thing to add to a browser that’s already familiar to new users.

But I think it’s way early for that. Kbin is already in the past, Mbin may or may not be a true continuation, the Meta connection nay not be worthwhile for their investors, bluesky is still a pig-in-a-poke for me.

One thing that is missing, again, is a digest to browse.

Celsius peopke are cold blooded.

There’s good weird and not-good weird.

I’m aware, taught that in school.

Also aware of the real world, those things don’t mesh the same at altitude.

In theory, reality and theory are the same. In reality, they’re not.

I love science when it’s not treated like a religion.

Thank you for all the info! Been wondering about various things.

Zooming back, it feels like both the fedi and bluesky aren’t fully resolved yet and might influence each other and a possible further replacement.

For example, I like the PDS/repository idea and think it would help make migrating easier in the fedi. But I would like more granular control over what is shared to relays as opposed to everything.

Chrissie Hynde…“I hate anything official”

Good guiding principle right thete.

Celsius tried to fit too much into 100 notches to please big math.

F is more nuanced with more notches, but the ends aren’t logical. It coukd be shifted perhaps, but how?

If freezing was moved to 0, then water boiling would be 180

Perhaps C could have had a 200 degree range, then it would be closer to F and not so hard to convert.

But also: Scientists are important and we shouldn’t make it too easy, it demeans their work. Maybe make the C scale show water boiling at 183.4521 degrees so scientific calculations are more impressive-looking and respectable.

When you go to a doctor in the USA, you’re really being treated by their lawyer and insurance company.

And those companies got rid of all the social incentives; no long-term jobs, pensions are gone, etc. They carved out every possible benefit to the community and monetised every scrap of consumer data from their customers.

Let them burn.

And they sold out the people, who tried to help by posting, to Meta.

Is there a Lemmy for polishing mason jars into lenses yet?

Blueberries are easier to insert and can be mushed-up first.
