Why can't the government just build it as a public utility?

Indeed. People almost invariably conflate capitalism with free markets, whereas those relatively independent properties.

That's actually not true, right? https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/global-co2-emissions-from-transport-by-sub-sector-in-the-net-zero-scenario-2000-2030

In 2019 there are 6.08 Gt from road vehicles compared to the 0.87 Gt from shipping. That's just overwhelming.

Yeah, I saw a link to a study that modeled outcomes within the next fre decades where acidification kills enough marine life and favors the reproduction of other microbes. Something about either low oxygen in the oceans and/or the atmosphere, or maybe a dangerous increase in stmospheric toxins resulting from that.

Maybe I'll try and find it to verify.

Sorry for replying so late!

Basically there are two threshold values: one above which the zone is considered humid, and one below which it's considered arid (and naturally it's temperate otherwise).

I'm glad someone's decided to come partake! :D

I had to look this up because I thought it was fake.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Nah, I think they're just being mass-created. No one's actually spamming anything so far. You can see so on this directory of instances: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

If you scroll around you'll find some that have like 10k or 20k users and 11 posts at most.

God, I won't miss that though.

Oh, I see what you mean! That's right... Instances update their listeners, they're not polled.

So then what would cause the slowdown in updating federated instances? The servers themselves are still responding. I guess there must be a queue of updates to other instances that's not getting emptied fast enough? That would explain a comment of mine to a separate instance showing up here but not there. I'm not familiar with the inner workings.

Thanks for the discussion by the way!

Huh! That's possible, but that doesn't sound right to me. I think for example that if I post a comment on a lemmy.ml thread, my client sends a request to A, lemmy.world, and then A sends a request to B, lemmy.ml, and then third-parties C would see the result of my like if they individually request content from B.

I don't think cross-instance interaction is shared with every federated instance at once. They each need to go "find out" on their own.

I've been considering it too! Although I might not want to if my own instance will struggle to keep connected :S

At least your comment came quickly :P Okay, a sanity check. Thanks!
