We were supposed to have less work, not more work!

Absolutely correct, Canadian Newspaper pulled the same thing, but they also blocked social media sites from sharing or posting links to their sites, blaming the links were “summarized”. Their argument was the links were being summarized and users were not visiting the Newspapers website.

So social media sites blocked all links of Canadian news, then Newspapers cried foul after a drop in traffic.

Funny enough when you see a summarized link, such as ones that show a picture and maybe a sentence, the content shown in that summary is directly controlled by the site being linked.

That happened in Canada as well a while back.

Funny story though, web extracts that become visible when you share a link for example on a social media platform or even through a text message are actually “controlled” by the source website.

This means the short summary that can range from a sentence to a few sentences is actually completely in the hands of the source website and is not actually “scrapped” when the link is shared.

I think this has something to do with how networking works.

When connected wireless to my car with a VPN active on my phone, my phone won’t connect to my cars WiFi network to initiate the android auto connection.

When connected by USB with VPN active on my phone it’s not issue, android auto connects and my VPN is active.

I remember seeing someone smarter explain this a lot better online somewhere then I can at the moment. But simply trying to connect wireless with a VPN active will not work.

There are AUX cables that have a transmit and recive switch. You can use this to transmit the output of your iPod through AUX to a built in bluetooth receiver in your car or other device.

Just make sure what you choose has the transmitter function as most cheaper ones only have the receiver function (for use in a car stereo for example).

Phones will still use android, but manufacturers are looking to de-google android so it’s not as heavily reliant on google services.

A example is the removal of the required Google play store.

Laptop manufacturers are also looking to move away from windows to a linux bases operating system.

TBH this is the best news I have heard all week.

You seem to be thinking small scale, the concept is decentralised electrical generation nation wide.

Not centralised energy generation such as a single solar plant, a single wind turbine field, a single coal plant, a single nuclear plant.

To cluster bomb a single PV plant (in one attack) would be “easy”, just as easy as a single coal plant.

To carpet bomb a whole nation (in one attack) with PV panels on every home, building, school, sports centre, field, farm would be logistically challenging.

In agree there are always those few in a community that feel the need to fight everything, even it may be in their best interest and the best interest of the community as a whole.

Anecdotally, I used to live in a rural suburban neighbourhood, the type where homes have large yards between them. There was a proposal to finally put in sidewalks along the residential streets in front of the homes, by narrowing the street a little. This would allows children to walk safely to the new school built, and allow people in the neighbourhood to go on walks, or walk their dogs safely.

Anyways, the amount of push back from some residents saying it will ruin the character of the neighbourhood, or that it would remove vital street parking, or shrink their driveways.

The neighbourhood street was about 4.5 cars wide.

In the end the sidewalks got put in after someone (that did not live in the area), ran over a residents dog along the street.

Become an American patriot, secure our borders with decentralised power generation, on your roof, on your own terms!

Exactly!! Though I don’t understand why so many country’s and civilians are opposed to clean decentralised power generation such as solar, wind, thermal.

The fact that you get to generate your own “free” power, and its less likely to fail in times of natural disaster.

Its essentially “freedom” & “sticking it to the man” in one clean package. Its not what the media or propaganda calls “the green agenda”.

The fact that it also has applications in better national security is a win win.

Decentralised power generation makes you a american patriot! No a green hippy.

This is the answer, bbc is the solution.

To get less “tech inclined” people to use the bbc feature is another story.

Sending a email to the whole office from HR, bbc all recipients. Then recipients can only reply to HR, and not 600 plus staff members, into a email chain that last all day asking people to stop replying all, while replying all at the same time.

So, you’re asking what the thread count is?

You are probably right here in how news agencies and other competing sites would/might phrase it if BlueSky fails.

Though what bugs me and logically does not make sense (to me) is saying federation is what caused or could cause a site or service to fail.

Its like saying my new shinny website failed because of the Internet, the Internet must then be the problem.

Abandon would be the best approach. A ban would just make people want to use it more.

When twitter (now formally know as “X”) was first a thing, the only reason I joined was because private business, city services, and news agencies became a little easier to follow in one unified location. It also made it easier to reach them with quick tweets.

Maybe the solution is to put a restriction on business, news agencies, and government services from using it?

Have you ever tried running balls free, same idea.

If he had any decency or moral, Trump should have stepped down himself.

Also, kindly remind everyone with a vagina and everyone who cares about someone with one: This year’s presidential election is about abortion access. Roe vs Wade was repealed by extremist MAGA judges appointed by Trump.
