Because most people switching don’t know (or care) about the fediverse and decentralization. They are regular internet users who just want to get away from the cesspool that is twitter, so they go where other people are going.

Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Lol good metaphor. Right now we’re just at the point where the ride is fullly pointed upwards and rising to the peak dropoff point that will drop in January.

Not really. I mean, sure it’s the same concept, but email has been getting semi-centralized between the big players now, with gmail and maybe icloud getting the largest chunk of users. That would be similar to letting users choose between .world or .ml to sign up with, which is against the fediverse principle to spread the load as wide as possible.

When you present the lowest common denominator internet user with hundreds of instances to choose from and requiring them to think further than clicking through a sign-up page, you lose user interest pretty quickly.

Use induction or electric stoves. They don’t have a visible fire so that might help with your worry of starting one. But remember it can still happen of course, it just helps that you’re not seeing an actual fire while cooking. Like others said, you can also use other electric cookware like an airfryer, griddle, etc. Just make it a habit to be always present and not forget that you’re cooking something and you’ll avoid most burning/fire accidents.

You practice minimalism because of the aesthetic and lack of clutter.

I practice minimalism because I don’t have money.

We are not the same.

The movie Interstellar supposedly had physicist consultants to try to get the depictions of space stuff as accurate as possible, in particular the blackhole. Not sure if the wormhole is the same, since we have no actual scientific data or evidence of one. So that’s probably the best guess they could make.

The only correct answer:

Edit: This guy too:

It’s in the name. It’s fast. You order at a drive-thru and you’re on your way in a couple of minutes. I agree though that prices are insane now and doesn’t justify the quality. I’d rather go to an asian restaurant for their lunch specials and get more for my buck.

Since you’re absolutely sure it’s an unauthorized charge, file a chargeback with C1. The worst that can happen is the restaurant blacklists you, which isn’t too bad since you wouldn’t want to go back to an establishment that charges random tips without your knowledge. Also, it’s not like a big business like an airline or something where getting blacklisted can be a pain.

The catholic church has been bleeding members for a while now. This is probably a “fellow kids” attempt to try to get younger people interested again.

An Air will probably be enough for your main task, but you should probably go with the Pro because of your secondary task.

Why would you assume I just believe them outright? I just said it was interesting and asked a follow up question to get more info.

I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.

My tutanota email address uses tuta.io

That’s interesting insider info. Was the reason for not fielding a candidate because of this particular issue (splitting the vote)?

Lol I know the feeling. Sometimes I just say “Oh we already use your product…mind if I grab those socks?”.

It depends. You can expect some level of unintentional misinformation in the immediate aftermath of an incident because of the chaos, panic, and unreliable witnesseses. But that gets sorted out eventually when the smoke clears. That is different from deliberate malicious misinformation that the article is pertaining to.

“free” for me. My job has conference/training budget that is use-it-or-lose-it, so might as well go for it. You can also talk your way through getting swag without giving up your contact details, or just provide fake ones.
