It’s only a tangent that they are newspapers compared to twitter. The real comparison is that the owners are billionaires and giants in their “industries” in some fashion. Elon forgot capitalist step zero: Choose profit before ego. That he

No, but the app migrated from purchase to “life supporter” to subscription with each prior tier getting less. Now, “buy version 1.3.0” I can get not including updates post 1.3.x. But “life supporter” faded to “subscribe” after more time w

Also “anonymous” does not mean the same enough to replace “blind” - anon could mean “giver of test does not know subjects” or “subjects do not know what they are testing”.

Thank you. I was speaking to the interior corridor(s), when fire is blowing from the “road side” - going to the corridor will be attempted next.

Sort of. Your “max” vertical reach eventually puts your ladder / tower truck too close to the building. Either for collapse or other reasons. Re 360 - no and yes. Someone will always do a full building walkaround. But I was thinking

Just the labor pool approaching zero. When it bounces along the bottom, capitalism hires children, etc.

As a firefighter, I can’t imagine trying to get ladders or an aerial into those middle sections, should it be needed. I hope a diff angle would show easier access.

I need to revisit wallabag - though “Reeder” is working for me. Wallabag is more than just bookmark management?

I used that too - similar setup with shaarli and freshrss. For a front end, I use “Reeder 5” - writing this reply in it now. ( https://www.reederapp.com/ ) Couple it with an on demand vpn like Wireguard and I can sync with

Just curious - is it fully “offline” / disconnected from your services? If so - why 8/month and not a single payment “unlock/pro version”? Why are more and more apps trying to tickle all our accts for monthly/recurring f

Cool to know! It’s a low prio project for me for sure, but good to know it’s been done. Finding “full articles” is certainly a pain. I have little idea how reeder does it.

I’ve been trying to think of an RSS driven daily newspaper. I currently use Reeder. I source in my usual news sources and HN and twitter and some subreddits. I’m working toward a place where I can setup a feed, a frequency, and a service t

One could say similar things about the differences between tiktok algorithms in the US vs China.

> petty thieves This is because the police in the system are, largely, more worried about going after crimes for larger numbers/institutions. IE: A city walmart will stage police, and pay for them. A police organization will focus

If stopping crime involves treating normal people (in my country they are called “innocent”) like criminals via a transaction limit that may change with a vehicle so important as cash… then the method is unjust. A nation has no right to,

I am speaking *nothing* about compelling the use of cash between two parties. My only and consistent point that is that it is silly for a nation to put a ceiling amount on its currency (cash) trading hands in physical meatspace form. For th

Nobody is talking about being compelled to accept cash - we are talking about cash being used in a manner that is, arbitrarily illegal after a certain amount.

You’re kidding, right? Average people buy cars with cash: a teen saving from first jobs for a first used car… eventually, “10k” will be where “teen” used cars land … and boom, average person. A person with a down payment on a house. …I can

Adding: most “democracies” are not truly democratic - representative governments are, “proxy” or “hopeful” or “you promised!” democratic but not democratic. Add in the layers of “manufactured consent” and you get… this to help “fight” “terr

The slippery slope is, quite truly, how nation states operate. If they were worried abt terrorism, they’d stop terrorists. But this “change” … treats innocent people with the brush they use for terrorists… it’s a slippery slope by desig

With inflation, “worker shortages”, and prices rising - 10,000 will soon become within reach for lots of normal people. Pushing them to NEED to use a profit driven banking system. Forcing them to be tracked. To have data mined and sold.

Get the boot out of your mouth. If cash is legal tender, then any amount is, by default, legal. This law makes it not fully legal tender (after amount X). It is disgusting. Stop pretending the government (any) has the “average” man’s best

Because it’s a propaganda term meant to imply China is uncivilized without directly saying it. Like calling America a democracy. We know it’s not but propaganda keeps that image “out there.”
