Seriously. This is such a shit situation.

The U.S. is between a rock and a hard place with Israel being the only friendly foothold in the Middle East with ports. Which enables a ton of power projection over "things" the U.S. cares about.

But then Israel is now an entity that we don't want to associate with. But we can't just let them shit the bed and allow a multi-state war with nuclear powers to take place either.

The later will hurt the U.S. in tangible ways, for decades to come.

So what do you do? Do you knowingly cause damage the security interests of country, or do you follow the social/societal expectations that we don't just fucking kill innocent civilians and let Israel eat the lunch they made... Indirectly enabling a war which you will get drug into regardless?

Shit sucks, everywhere. And Israel are being the baddies, while the U.S. is enabling it.

They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse.... Sucks.

It's obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It's just not ready to operate at scale at this point.

I'm sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.

There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.

why is this here

Because it's relevant?

Don't let a bad thing go to waste, it's a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.

A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.

Just like "here", with "here" being where?

That doesn't answer the question.

Domains can expire, be sold, have their hosting (nameservers) changed....etc it's very conceivable given the current climate that it could be a malicious site used for data exfiltration from prospective voters. The security posture, if any, of the owner are also unknown, meaning it may be unknowingly compromised.

Especially when you have people willing to drop tens of millions of dollars on voter suppression.

Plain and simple, don't enter your personal information into a 3rd party site. Use your official government provided ones for this purpose.

Ah yes, the browser that monetizers based on activity tracking. The one based on chromium, handing Google further control over web standards. The browser with a a mysterious nearly unlimited budget for advertising before they even had a handful of users. That browser.

This looks sick. 100% might be just what I need.

Thanks for the tip and advice.

Yeah it's just that poor posture over time (been fixing it with PT) has caused... Problems. Sitting usually results in ever increasingly intense lower back pain, especially if there is minimal lumbar support

Yeah, I'm learning already after just an evening on it that the other foot pulling double duty is not liking it.

Is the armpit pain from crutches something you just get used to?

Yeah that's the problem is guessing what they meant.

Seriously, and I still want to play it. Like every other games that seems continuous improvement, there will be an active and dedicated player base for it.

I hate these new trends of "Oh, that game came out last month, it's too old now".

I plan on playing again when it's further fleshed out. It'll be super fun.

You would be paying for the privilege of using a Logitech mouse of course!

The company has to grow indefinitely and you my friendly consumer are the back on which they will walk to do so.

Don't worry I'm sure they'll never acquire smaller and successful manufacturers that risk undermining their profit structures.
