@wjmaggos I'm just trying to figure out how you reconcile wanting everything to be local and decentralized in social media, but when applying those same principles to other things people might want to do, it somehow takes on a negative connotation ("international anarchy") and must be met with a one-world police state.

A state which, as I try to point out, will be a power magnet for all of the worst humanity has to offer, and, as history has shown time and again, will inevitably become corrupt and oppressive.

You think handing your social media keys to Elon is dangerous. Imagine when it's everything in life. And there is no place on earth to escape to. (Then again, maybe you can't imagine that, which is why you still think it's a good idea)

@chris

Is there an actual study on this trying to quantify it?

The population of the usa in '69 was 200 million, so at almost half a million people at woodstock that would mean that 1 in 400 people alive in '69 had attended the festival... Thats pretty huge when you think about it. 0.25% of the entire population at a single festival, thats massive!

Woot, we brought up a website for my new company with a little bit of information. Hopefully will make the hiring process a bit smoother too.

Naturally our company website also doubles as a #Fedipage based single-user instance.

You can follow it on the fediverse here: @cleverthis

And the website itself is here: https://CleverThis.com

@Strandjunker

Completely false.

For example 19% of all bankruptcies in Canada are illness related just as one very obvious incorrect statement. Sadly most of these countries lack data, but the ones that track this show significant bankruptcies caused by medical illness

Similarly 8.2% of bankruptcies in the UK are caused due to illness.

Under Biden Harris Israel went from getting 3.4 billion a year to 12.5 billion a year to commit genocide. Under Trump he went the other direction, from 3.7 billion at the start of his reign to 3.4 billion at the end.

To put this more generally to numbers, under Trump the military spending went from 651 billion to 695 billion, an increase of 6.3% over his 4 years in office. By contrast under Biden military spending went from 695 billion to 886 billion, a whopping increase of 21.5%. Put in other terms that is a 191 billion increase under Biden and a 44 billion increase under Trump, in other words a huge 4.34x greater increase by Biden than by Trump.

Welcome...

Project QOTO is to used to see how many users are interested in future projects by writing a simple "hello" message more visibly in this thread.

This thread helps us see who is motivated and what kinds of skills we have to work with, to then link the existing interests and ideas into future projects.

By not defining things too strictly from the beginning we allow ourselves to find out the answers (using ourselves) and show the positive attempts as we go. Welcome to Project QOTO.

There are no commitments with the "hello" message and you can remove that at any time.

If you have existing ideas for a project, or a "back burner" project or two , then please add that in a separate post or inside your own profile description for people to check out.

Use #ProjectQoto hashtag to check this thread at any time and see progress.

@freemo has confirmed this as a unofficial #QOTO #project with his approval while he does other things meantime. For now we can see the ideas we have between us here, and use what social is really good for, bringing individuals together and forming whatever people like and love to do already and consider doing more of it!

regards, #ProjectQOTO
(which includes you hopefully!)

Again, a simple "hello" is enough for people to see your profile and what you are already interested in.

I would count this as an abuse of `@Deprecated`...

I was shocked when I first saw all possible implementations are deprecated but the field is still used actively in another class.
