I am going to open up an account in the next few days with a sizeable initial deposit. I do not want to see the banks consolidated to a few that the fed can control.

The article completely ignores domain name registration. I own a myname.com domain and email address with that domain that I use wherever I need real ID. I also maintain the home page with my latest contact methods. My contacts only need on

If Germany can reduce its gas usage, it will certainly help the situation. I hear that BASF is exploring moves of operations to locations with better access to cheaper gas such as China. Some energy use could switch to coal and other source

These claims about Tiktok have been used for years, and the data collection is not much different from other corp/state social media apps. I assumed the motivation was around information control, but as researched here, https:/&#

I know its a drop in the bucket, but I hope this can inspire more drops in the bucket. I tend my yard with plenty of plants that make food and habitat for bees and butterflies. This includes native milkweed for the monarchs, carrots, fennel

I think we are talking about a chronological unadulterated feed of only those people we follow. An API key could be sold for this to be used in desired client. Or you could just the fediverse where this is standard.

Perhaps people in NYC and SF are opting more for cash. I lived in both cities and would walk right past these and into the good old bodegas that prefer cash which is all I would ever pay with.

Both are problems, but naive people expect Google and Facebook to do differently. Google has always been intertwined with the government, and Facebook was absorbed early on. I am not denigrating people by using the word naive. Those who are
