Brazil has not just banned X (formerly Twitter) from the entire country, but citizens will now be fined $9,000 a day (more than the average salary in the country) for using VPNs to access the platform.

According to some “experts,” there is an urgent need to remove cash from the economy. It is held that cash provides support to the “shadow economy” and permits tax evasion.

@SuperSnekFriend not sure what this is about, but it’s just fedi being fedi. We aren’t all going to agree 1:1 on things so people should be more accepting of each other or at least not judge each other harshly based on an internet fights. We all have stakes in our eyes and shouldn’t point out the specks in others’ eyes ifyouknowhatimean 
. It does feel like there is less camaraderie and fwenship on fedi at times, and arguments can get so heated over the littlest of things. I think everyone is under a lot of stress in their real lives and at times it can come out in mean ways to people we like online.

>They leave their nests as soon as they grow wings
>When they meet a female they become pardners and start a new colony
>During this time the king spends most of his time expanding the nest and mating with the Queen
>once the Queen starts lying eggs the king Will start talking care of the young
>Once the young are grown up he starts commanding them alongside the Queen
>During all of this the king still has to mate with the queen everyday
>They do this for around 15 years if they don't get killed by a Predator or dissease
Unironically i think king termites are one of the few male bugs not to get overtly fucked over by evolution

@sleepingnevi @creamqueen CDs aren't good for podcasts unless you have multiple discs to burn.
@BigDawg869789 I don't know much about the series myself, but I think it started off with limited releases in Japan as standard for Doujin Soft (Japanese indie games) at the time. You had to be at certain conventions or festivals to obtain copies.
@branman65 @PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @coolboymew @RehnSturm256 Don't connect to any pedo or unmoderated relays and you will be fine. I have yet to encounter CP on Nostr.
@sleepingnevi @creamqueen It needs a cassette player so you can use a cassette adapter to play whatever audio device you want.

@PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @coolboymew @RehnSturm256 Honestly, before Poast came along, what united this side of the fedi was the value of decentralization and wanting to get away from big tech. Other than that, there wasn't that much drama between users, outside of the Mastodon NetworkTM side that blocks anyone that is on some fediblock list on GitHub. I had people from all backgrounds following me, anime-avatar Nazis, libertarians, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, tech enthusiasts, and people who just hated big tech but were otherwise "normies".
I think the problem with most of the Poastoids is that they have the mentality that any community they participate in should be their own echo-chambers. Now you got these people gatekeeping something that isn't even theirs, and the fediverse is even more fractured than ever.
Nostr seems to be more like pre-2021 fedi. That's probably why Alex Gleason seems to have favored it over fedi now. There are still a lot of people who constantly talk about how Bitcoin is going to save the world, but if you can get past that, it's pretty laid-back. And the way it operates means that users are forced to judge other users on an individual basis instead of blocking entire instances.
@coolboymew @PurpCat @SuperSnekFriend @RehnSturm256 I like it better when this place was more laid-back and open minded.

@RehnSturm256 @SuperSnekFriend the problem is that people on the fedi really, really, love to get into online fights for stupid reasons and many of them came from other communities notorious for that.

HOW INDUSTRIAL HEMP COULD SAVE OUR WORLD
In 1941, Henry Ford built a car out of plastic made from hemp, flax, wheat, and spruce pulp. material. It ran on ethanol made from hemp and other agricultural waste. Ford's bioplastic Model T was was lighter than fiberglass and ten times stronger than steel.
Popular Mechanics, in its December 1941 issue, reported that "Ford's experimental model was a step toward the realization of his dream to grow automobiles from soil and reduce greenhouse gases."
When Ford was building his bio car, greenhouse gasses were already in the public eye and the car started a renewed public conversation on the merits of biomass versus fossil fuel.

@MechaSilvio @confederatehobo @sickburnbro My area has stores selling milk in glass bottles. You are expected to return the bottles after consumption and you get $2 back. It works as far as I can tell.
@gentoobro @PurpCat @jyushimatsu And that is also the problem because you need to have played a diverse library of games in order to be a good dev. Masahiro Sakurai even played the games he hated growing up just to learn what does and does not work.

You definitely can't have many other hobbies alongside game dev. Playing games included.
@matthew I used to work for my great uncle's electric company, doing data entry and he did not know what Microsoft Excel was. I used his Microsoft Word templates and manually calculated everything in the tables.
