You might enjoy the book "Climate Leviathan". It's about all that and draws on a lot of history and philosophy.
US and friends regularly take their boats out for a drive, NK always reacts the same. It's a pretty boring news article.
Yeah user-created topics would be a fine enhancement. Various aspects of the multireddit concept have separate issues in the issue queue but they haven't been coherently tied together yet. It might be time to do that.
One way to limit exposure to negative news is a keyword filter, which I implemented 6 months ago, early on in the project: https://piefed.social/post/7576
It can be as low as only four out of 10,000 galaxies having one civilization
Well that's a new depth of loneliness I didn't know existed before. Great.
Yeah I'm pretty interested in this and Topics is only the first iteration of the idea. At the time piefed.social was basically a single-user instance so making the topics admin-manually-curated groupings was fine. Perhaps it's time to take things to the next level, tho.
The concept of 'multireddits' sounds like a bundle of related functionality and I'm not sure which parts of that you're interested in that PieFed's "topics" doesn't already do. Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part? The join-many-communties-at-once part? PieFed does some of those already but you won't see it unless you're logged in...
A page with a million checkboxes. Checking a box checks it for everyone.
That's it. Have fun!
A solid choice. I've been using it daily ( codeberg.org ) for the last year and it's pretty great!
The code review features are not as awesome as github but you won't need those.
It's going well, thanks for asking. I enjoy using it and improving it every day.
Over the last year I've learnt a lot and if I started again today I'd lay some of the underlying foundations differently - in a way that supports a medium sized app instead of a small one. At the time I didn't know if it would ever grow beyond being small... Good problem to have!
They explicitly said this wasn't the solution for everyone 😊
Creatures of Place is an insight into the wonderful world of Artist as Family: Meg Ulman, Patrick Jones, and their youngest son, Woody. Living on a 1/4-acre section in a small Australian town, Meg and Patrick have designed their property using permaculture principals.
They grow most of their own food, don't own cars and ride their bikes instead, use very little electricity, and forage food and materials from their local forest.
Yes, it's a bit different.
In Kbin they are user-defined. If kbin.social was online I'd share a link.
Yes, like this https://piefed.social/topics
I agree on the sensationalism in the article.
Biden stumbled and lost the tread in the opening minutes but is doing well now.
Trump is doing a good job at being Trump. Pretty tired of him ignoring the question and talking about whatever he likes and the moderator letting him.
The article links to this as technical proof https://grizzlyreports.com/we-believe-pdd-is-a-dying-fraudulent-company-and-its-shopping-app-temu-is-cleverly-hidden-spyware-that-poses-an-urgent-security-threat-to-u-s-national-interests/
There's analysis of decompiled source code.
Now we have BBC printing stuff like this:
“It’s going to be like Mad Max.” “There will be no humanity. There will be no charity. There will be no fairness...
I fondly remember the days when rising sea levels, "sometime in 2100 or whenever" was the main climate-related thing. That was nice. Back then, the idea of tipping points was the realm of wild-eyed doomers that no one took seriously. Heat domes? Wildfires? Ocean death? Mass migration? Just science fiction.
Ahh, good times.
No one is keeping track of how enthusiastically they do it or writing official reports on it or encouraging more of it. It's the interest the govt takes in it that makes it weird(er).
This might all be made up. See https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/
I've never heard of NK News before so - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nk-news/. Seems Ok.
In other news articles they're described as support troops or engineers. They'd be building things, cooking meals, driving trucks, repairing stuff. Maybe occasionally get a HIMARS dropped on them but certainly not storming trenches.
Yes, I've been using it continuously since then.
I made an extension called "Cache Longer" which forces static assets to be cached for 6 months, regardless of what the website wants. If any website starts looking janky or stops working, just do a hard refresh (very rarely needed).

Those caveats are pretty standard and uncontroversial when it comes to crime statistics. Source: I studied Sociology 101 at university.
Unless something has happened that would make people less likely to report crimes or less likely for there to be convictions, etc then I see no reason why these crime stats would be any more unreliable than usual.
UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.
£9bn due to not having built more cheap onshore wind, £5bn due to poorly insulated homes, £5bn due to low solar deployment, £3bn because new homes were built less efficient.
Prosecutors claimed four members of family paid staff a pittance and gave them little freedom to leave Geneva mansion
A Swiss court has handed jail sentences to four members of Britain’s richest family for exploiting Indian staff at their Geneva mansion.
The Hindujas, who were not present in court, were acquitted of human trafficking but convicted of other charges on Friday in a stunning verdict for the family, whose fortune is estimated at £37bn.
Prakash Hinduja and his wife, Kamal, were each sentenced to four years and six months in prison, and their son Ajay and his wife, Namrata, received four-year terms.

With just a fraction of people responding to political polls, Harvard experts are suggesting that pollsters "call" AI chatbots instead.
Instead of asking humans who they would vote for, try to understand the nuances of their thoughts and concerns, let those messages bubble up to candidates so they can adjust their campaign to meet voters' demand, instead of that, why not just segment humans into a bunch of shallow stereotypes (the socialist Millennial, the conservative Boomer, the liberal city dweller, the rancorous rural voter who feels left behind...) and then have some AI agents replicate how those people would respond?
Surely nothing could go wrong.
In a unanimous verdict delivered today by a jury at Guildford Crown Court, Just Stop Oil supporters Nathan McGovern, Rosa Sharkey, and Louis Hawkins were found not guilty of causing criminal damage exceeding £5,000. [1] During the trial, Judge Sellers ruled that none of the defence’s three arguments...

They also decommissioned the petrol pumps by breaking the display glass and covering it with spray paint. This action was taken in support of their demand for the UK government to end all new oil and gas projects in the country. > >

Any jury may consider that the law itself is unjust. It is an important principle and indicates public opposition to aspects of law, in this case, the 'lawful' behaviour of fossil fuel corporations.

In the early days, trance rarely had vocals or if it did they were just another instrument among many. The idea of trance was to help the dancer get into a certain mental state which is beyond words and having too many vocals tends to pull things down into the concrete and breaks the spell. As everything became more commercialized and mainstream, this was forgotten.

In this piece, long-term bicycle traveler Laura Killingbeck reflects on the "Man or Bear" debate and adds her unique perspective...
> Patriarchy has everything to do with men, but at the same time, nothing at all. In a male-centered society where maleness is associated with power, what’s really being centered is power itself. What’s suppressed is mutual relationality. Patriarchy is intertwined with colonialism, racism, and other oppressive social structures based on hierarchy. It is a fundamental fracturing of our human wholeness.
Advocates for the use of trigger warnings suggest that they can help people avoid or emotionally prepare people for encountering content related to a past trauma. But research indicates the warnings only heighten anticipatory anxiety.
