That was my point too as I said there are now solar panels designed to let light through and use the wavelengths needed.

The US SCOTUS just overruled a lower court and is allowing Virginia to purge voters immediately before an election, despite the 90-day quiet rule. All three liberal justices dissented. This is another right-wing attack on democracy, this time coming from the biased Supreme Court.
If we don't elect Democrats in Congress and the White House, we'll never restore integrity to the Supreme Court.
I don't have the answer to that, it is also up to facebook users to switch over. If they find out more AI content is heading their way, and express concern or frustration, we can at least say to people Fedi conent is user generated.

@zleap Though I would agree. But, what fediverse alternative is ready for mass mainstream usage? #diaspora isn't there yet, is it? The name alone is probably a deterrent.
#pixelfed would be a decent alternative to #instagram
#mastodon #lemmy and #mbin are different use cases.
So, where would former facebook users go? Especially those who are less technically inclined.

If you care about the environment (i.e., if you don't want to accelerate us faster and faster toward a 2°C or greater rise in global temperatures), this is an excellent time to switch your default search engine away from Google:

Personally, I use DuckDuckGo, with Mojeek as a backup. Note that Kagi is also very pro-AI (aside from its other problems).
Surely Trump should be in the BACK of the garbage truck.

Great news, hopefully this will push people towards fedi a lot more, let's use this as a marketing tool

"A retired science teacher said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from growing"
The above may be a valid point, however they have now invented solar panels that allow the light wavelengths needed for plants through, while capturing the light wavelengths needed for the panels to work efficiently. So this is now less of a concern.
Even then as the Earth moves rotation and orbits the sun then I guess there will be periods where the grass the panels are on will also capture sunlight, even livestock can graze this grass (which keeps the grass trim at least).
So conern raised, problem has been solved.
As for the headline comment there is no some people I guess.

The Publish-Review-Curate model is changing how we think about scholarly publishing✍️ It decentralizes peer review and puts authors in control.
RoRI's @LudoWaltman co-wrote an explainer for @ASAPbio on the model here: https://asapbio.org/understanding-the-publish-review-curate-prc-model-of-scholarly-communication
I will boost,l great to see local people on Fedi ( I am in Torbay )

The Schumacher College - close abruptly this year by the Dartington Trust - is now try to reestablish itself as an independent organisation. The newly funded Satish Kumar Foundation is raising funds.
Leaving it here for anyone who was sad for the Schumacher College to end, and maybe is able to contribute
(disclaimer: I'm not affiliated to it in any way, just know some people around here cared for it)

After WWII many Nazis' escaped to South America and other countries, however they soon found out that there is no escape from the law, this caught up with them and many faced justice.
One day the law will catch up with Netanyahu and his cronies, when that happnes he will hopefully face swift justice, the people of Israel are good people, who need to have the confidence to stand up to him and demand his removal so someone can take over who will actually get the remaining hostages back and end this bloodshed, then find a long term peaceful solution, we have plans for a long term 2 state solution.
The truth will always come out.

Israel's longest running paper, Haaretz, confirms that Netanyahu actively blocked every hostage deal since 10/7.
He meanwhile openly plans to annex Gaza—& the conversation is still "why won't Hamas agree to a deal?
This is how genocide perpetuates. Horrific

Anyone who is OK with the genocide of Palestinian people because it is politically expedient now, can't be trusted to be against the extermination of other peoples when it is convenient for some future purpose.

Someone is DDOSing the internet archive, so we've been down for hours. According to their twitter, they're doing it just to do it. Just because they can. No statement, no idea, no demands.
Meanwhile, we literally rescued 400,000 dissertations from being pulped.
I like our side.
Great work
