They are against things like the CFPB but they aren’t getting rid of the FDIC which is the good faith backing of the US banking system. The 1% isn’t so liquid that they wouldn’t lose huge amounts of money with a full scale banking crisis

Isn’t that what they signed up for when they put their money in a nonFDIC insured account?

It could start using DNS over HTTPS if it had enough failed requests. Those wouldn’t be able to be redirected

I was disappointed in V’s map vs San Andreas’. It is way bigger but feels so much more empty. Would have liked if we got a single player DLC that added some references to grove street, CJ and added Los Venturas and San Fierro to the map

That definitely makes it accessible to newcomers. But costs are going to gatekeep smaller communities from hosting relays as the network scales. There are plenty of obscure conversations happening on the far corners of the network that don’t concern the majority, requiring a full network mirror of this activity just increases cost for minimal perceived benefit.

There does need to be some level of seeding, I think the big push for getting starter packs and the like into Mastodon is an example of that need. At the same time, it’s hard to justify spending the money on extra storage and computer just so I can see posts on furry bluesky or some other niche but highly active community.

Being subscription based is what makes it feasible for smaller instances to exist on the fediverse. If every instance had to be a full mirror of the network only a few small groups could afford to host instances.

Almost nothing decentralized yet…

You can host your own PDS (making it distributed but not decentralized), there is an ability to host a relay but hosting a relay requires mirroring the entire network instead of just subscribed nodes like AP, making it cost prohibitive for communities to organize their own relays on ATProto.

If bluesky is serious about decentralization then they need to make mirroring the entire network optional, allow relays’ firehoses to only to stream the activity from subscribed accounts from their users and federate with relays that don’t mirror the entire network.

I would curious to see if you could access piefed using Voyager for Lemmy as a front end. It’s about the only decent app for Lemmy that doesn’t squash things on my iPhone mini with text zoom enabled

Thank you for sharing, that’s exactly what I was looking for!

Humans are social creatures by nature. The goal should be to improve our social interactions instead of letting others exploit them for profit

Corporate rot sounds better than just rot as enshittification happens on purpose due to seeking to extract maximum value from something where as rot is just a natural consequence of atrophy over time

 

And he’s getting paid

Sources to ESPN: Jonathan Taylor and the Colts reached agreement on a three-year, $42 million contract extension, including $26.5M guaranteed, that makes him one of the league’s highest-paid RBs and clears him to make his season debut Sunday vs. Titans.

The bears offense looked better on Sunday and so did the commanders. Do both teams keep it up? Or will they both somehow be in a defensive battle?

Did you take a chance on Sam Howell despite throwing 4 INTs just 2 weeks ago? Can we trust Fields and DJ Moore? Will Kmet go nuclear again? Watch with us and leave your thoughts below

 

Ravens Defense clearly the best play of the week. The rest of the streamers are all pretty mid. Who has the cajones to stream the dolphins vs Giants?

Add, Stash, Cut Week 5 (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

Before waivers clear this week, give us 1 player you are going to add (and how much FAAB you are spending), 1 player to stash, and a player to cut (no defense and kickers please)

 

How did you fair this week? What do you need for your Monday night miracle? Any players you are hoping to get in on for the next waiver period?

Add, Stash, Cut Week 3 (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

Add: I think it’s obvious who you want to grab this week if he’s on the wire. Achane lit us all up and likely no one started him. If Mostert goes down at some point this year, he is an elite option. Tank Dell has been upgraded from Stash to add as well. Josh Palmer with the injury to Mike Williams is a good add as well.

Stash: Rashee Rice and Quentin Johnson if they weren’t rostered for hype in being early draft receivers then now is the time to stash them. With Mike Williams out, Johnson is the 3rd WR in that room, and Rashee has led the chiefs WRs in targets for the first 3 weeks. Won’t be playable for weeks but the lesson from the past few years has been to not give up on rookie wideouts

Cut: I’m about this close to cutting Najee’s bum ass, but don’t want to tilt so I will be holding still. Instead I’m cutting Jahan Dotson. I don’t want any shares off this commie offense not named Brian Robinson

 

Some big matchups today for fantasy. Chiefs and Bears and Vikes and Chargers.

Raiders and Steelers tonight.

Some big names out today. Ekeler, Chubb (obviously), and more. Leave your thoughts below and good luck!

 

Giants are without Saquon Barkley but they came alive in the second half vs the cardinals after being outscored 60-0 the first 6 quarters of the season. The 49ers have been solid on defense so the giants will have their work cut out for them if they want to repeat the second half performance from last week.

Who here is already so ravaged by injuries that they are already starting Matt Breida? Let us know in the comments and leave any other thoughts during the game below and good luck, we are all rooting for you!
