Just really, really blunt the swords edges.

They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.

That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.

With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.

This game still an RNG grindfest like it was in early days?

The Seattle freeze is akin to the Norwegian unfriendliness. People pretty much look past strangers as a kind of indifferent politeness, but it’s not actually cold or hostile.

If you find those activities like NYC or any kind of shared interest, Seattle opens its arms wide, be it for board games, death metal, knitting, cycling, whatever. All are welcome, well almost all.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

A sow is a female pig, which doesnt produce silk at all. Attempting to get silk from it would be difficult, if not impossible and futile. It wouldn’t matter how hard you try, you would get nothing.

You can get as much silk from a sows ear as you can get blood from a stone. I dont see much differnce, but i guess the sows ear phrase requires more culture context if it means “you can’t get something nice from rubbish.”

How is it not? The euphemisms all mean you “cant get X from Y.”

Both of my examples mean exactly that.

“You can’t get blood from a stone” is classic in the US. “No more juice from the squeeze” is another variant.

300 billion across the EU.

Solar prices are very regional. Different local rebates, labor costs, permitting requirements, etc.

What you dont know is that the detective is from your home town, is 118 years old and was drunk as a skunk during those years.

Hobbling centurian drunk detective is gonna getcha.

The data lives in both places. Your pod is all of your data held in one place. The interaction is a copy of that data sent in and out to the various social networks.

I would expect that you could adjust how much context to save around your comments. Maybe it pulls down the while thread on whatever service, or maybe just the comment you replied to with a url.

This is a bit of a deviation from the initial “Solid” concept, as that was a fully standalone controlled data warehouse that you allowed social media to access only during using the service. It was a way to have control of your data because you hold the data instead of social networks.

With the fediverse’s replication between different hosts, there wouldn’t be a way to gate this data, so the concept looks like it was adaptived. A big advantage for the fediverse? Your account is actually on you pod, not someone elses server. The data is replicated via the servers is all. You would basically be “federating” your identity with a server, not depending on it.

Most discrete raid cards will do the job, but look for on card caching and a battery for “quality.”

Hardware raid can 100% do any of the above tasks, and has always been able to do them. You need an actual raid card, not some half assed baked in mobo raid.

Hardware RAID was doing all of the above before software RAID was available to end users.

The armored trucks were also clearly labeled with the charities logos.

This means the trucks were bombed intentionally, they were bombed when clearly identified as aid workers, or they were bombed indiscriminately.

None of the above is good for the IDF.

Most likely they will claim the “fog of war” was the issue and there will be non specific “changes” that they will make after a long delay, all while blaming aid organizations for not providing volunteers to stop the genocidal starvation they are causing.

Why are you posting an 8 year old political news article? What was your goal?

It ebbs and flows. Full decentralization would be ideal, but unrealistic. Power always consolidates, until it suddenly doesnt. Making it easy to leave when it “suddenly doesnt” is key.

The above is the core strength of the fediverse. Tinpot despots may have an advantage in the network due to previous efforts, but they can be routed around any time they go nuts.

This is a huge, huge win over the top down shitbergs that is current corporate social media.

She had millions of followers when she was anonymous, and was very, very upset when her identity was revealed.

This is no different than naming stonetoss or other hateful agitators that hide behind anonymity.
