  • John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

  • Haha, yeah Cody has definitely made me cringe out of discomfort before. I haven't watched that guy in awhile! Appreciate the reminder. And Oliver can get close to that level too, for sure.

  • ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners

  • So would you not recommend me getting a refurbished s20? That's the most recent model that still has microSD slots and I've seen them for 200. But I'm not sure about security...

  • Joe Rogan dethroned by anti-Trump podcast in the charts

  • I stopped subscribing last year sometime and just look through Freah Air to find stories that seem interesting. I still enjoy/listen to other shows occasionally, but the ads have become more intrusive.

  • Probably by buying subscribers like Shapiro did. Pump the numbers up, get a boost for the algo, get more clicks.

  • People who tried La Croix, what is your opinion on it?

  • The only brand that my wife and I have found consistently better than these 2 is Good & Gather from Target. Slightly cheaper and some great flavors!

  • Owning a home has rarely been this much more expensive than renting

  • Have you shopped other companies for rates? I switched earlier this year and cut my insurance costs by more than half! Was fucking ridiculous how it just kept climbing.

  • I like your thought process and just want to wish you the best of luck!

  • I can identify with all of that. I'm seeing plenty of people and orgs so ready to "fight back" already, and I'm nowhere near ready for all that yet... this clusterfuck of nominations doesn't help anything.

  • Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed

    Jump

  • Okay, I'll bite and take a few minutes to refute yet another of your seemingly patently false statements that you provide no evidence for.

    Are you talking about the expanded child tax credit that the senate didn't pass(the house did)? If so, that's not on the president.

    I downvoted you at almost every opportunity bc it seems like you're just talking out of your ass, which isn't helpful. If I missed something that you're referring to for poverty, feel free to share and support your argument.

  • There's likely no 1 magic solution... it'll take multiple fronts: education, community-building, better(less misinformation) social media...

  • Is there, though? I was trying to come up with some examples yesterday and all I can find from my admittedly lefty algo are fears propagated because of Trump's words or incoming cabinet appointments. They are at least based on actual recorded words as opposed to cherry-picked data or "feels". I guess the left could be cherry-picking data to support their arguments also, but the logic seems more sound, at least to me.

  • Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X.

  • Appreciate the info!

  • A distraction from the election: The case for employee-owned companies

    Jump

  • If they don't already exist, it sounds like a niche need for a third-party company that has some preset templates of different options? Add a lawyer and some legal aid and could be very helpful for the system.

  • Well the best 2 tours were the Golden Circle and the southern coast, where you visit a volcano, some geysers and waterfalls, and the black sands beach. Seeing the Northern Lights was amazing and the whale watching boat trip where we saw dolphins was another highlight. We've learned to schedule a guided food tour as our first excursion, as those guides are usually well-versed on the nuances of local spots/issues. We were blown away by how delicious all the food was there, except for the shark... it's worth it for the experience, but hard for me to recommend as the taste is so powerful. The museums were well worth visiting!

  • I really enjoyed visiting there a few years ago and definitely want to go back! I've since paid more attention and at least from what I've seen, statehood seems like the best path forward. My wife and I also visited Iceland last year, but that island is in a completely different situation in multiple ways. Their geothermal power is awesome though. PR could certainly benefit from renewables but more local control and growth. You're asking some good questions though.

  • Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect

  • Considering how under-funded and understaffed the IRS has been/is, they do a pretty amazing job with what they have to work with. Simplifying or redoing our tax codes again is a huge task that will take time. There does need to be some sort of progress though! We'll see what type of government we'll have shortly.

  • I refuse defeatism

    Jump

  • Idk... Iceland is doing pretty well with some large greenhouses. I was pretty amazed at the variety and quality of their fruits and veggies. That island has to deal with some serious issues but seem to be handling them quite well overall!

  • Do you have what it takes to become a geologist?

  • I've found multiple friendly employees at vape shops in both Arkansas and Oklahoma, especially in the college cities of course. But that might be a productive avenue that's worth trying out.

    Best of luck from an ally not too far away!
