WEF: “The Netherlands is building a neighbourhood where every car must be shared - there’ll be one vehicle for every three homes, and no space for privately owned cars”

Meanwhile, the WEF elite will carry on travelling around the globe in their private jets - while destroying the very essence of human nature. https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1683820433540911112

Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash

Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.

You can be involved without voting. I'm not saying you shouldn't vote. I'm saying I personally don't think it matters. James Corbett has often said on his podcast that if you think we can vote our way out of our current situation, he wishes you the best and yes, go vote. Hopefully you're right and he's wrong.

But it's important to be realistic. Just attending protests or being involved locally with city council meetings or school board meetings is arguably way more important than voting. I've helped in local campaigns before. Not in a long time though; it does jade you to the process.

When people stop getting involved, when people lose hope, that is when the Oligarchs and dictators starts to act

Dude they're always acting no matter if you have hope or not. The media flips the majority of the population like a switch.

I used to think that voting didn't matter. I changed

I mean... if it gives you purpose, good? Keep on keeping on. Nothing wrong with a religious belief. Keep proselytizing I guess. Maybe you'll convert me one day. But for now, the risk of jury duty doesn't outweigh the benefit of trivially placing my wish on a piece of paper for one from the list of psychopaths running.

Basically Fediverse websites shutting down or getting shut down and the userbase getting wiped out as a result. It's like dropping a nuke on an entire country in some cases.

Guys this is why "censorship resistance" aspect of Nostr actually does matter. Even if it doesn't win for the initial sell, it matters for the long term of it actually working.

I wrote a short blog post to guide people to resources on how to start fixing Coverity issues and how that can be a great way to contribute to the Linux kernel. 🔍 🖥️ 🐧

It's particularly aimed at newcomers with some experience in C. 🙂

"ONE simple and rewarding way to contribute to the Linux Kernel: Fix Coverity issues"

I hope people find it both inspiring and useful, and...

"[...] Always remember: upstream Linux kernel development is highly social. 😉"

Thanks!

Okay so why did #FSE and #SPC die? Isn’t #pleroma / #akkoma supposed to be so much better than #Mastodon? Why then couldn’t they run at full capacity indefinitely?

I’m not hating on #rebased BTW, #Poast seems to be doing fine from what little I hear. It’s just funny that I heard so many people over there boasting and bragging about how #pleroma and #akkoma are so much better than #Mastodon because they have more features and run lighter, etc. etc. meanwhile those instances are down now while instances like mstdn.social have been running at full throttle for years now with a pretty similarly sized userbase IIRC

westerners: the japanese are so healthy becuase they eat clean, unprocessed food

japanese people: deepfried vegetables, deepfried potato mash with meat, deepfried bread with curry filling, bread with noodles and mayonaise

People who take out their anger or depression on people who have nothing to do with it are the most insufferable assholes to ever walk this earth.
