Reddit refuge
I think that a lot of the arguments regarding why Europeans did better compared to near peers goes to variations in social differences between Europeans and other near peer civilizations.
It also includes the destruction of extended clan networks, independent universities, and higher wages for Europeans compared to others parts of the world.
Vikings were colonizers, though. England was somewhat colonized under the Danelaw and Dublin was founded as a Viking colonizer’s stronghold. It just happened to be that Viking colonies in the New World were in Northern Canada, a place where large settlements still don’t exist.
That’s just a normal day in Alaska.
That was how the Internet worked back in the day. Site reliability for small sites was shit and going viral would routinely pull a smaller site down.
The conservative need to burn everything down got Trump elected.
The problems with Charlie Kirk’s assassination is the following.
First, random gun violence hit a conservative news commentator. Worse, it was someone who grew up in a conservative family. So, you’ve got a lot of conflicting emotions playing out in real time.
Second, there has been a lot of push back regarding what kind of commentator Charlie Kirk was. The discussions of who Kirk was outside of the conservative bubble are leaking in and a lot of Kirk’s fans hate it.
Which of their product lines could turn dev time into money?
Which makes it work really well for stealth layoffs. If you don’t have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, you either have to show up or the company has a reason for firing you.
And if you do have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, they now have the ability to recind that offer if performance drops.
Probably ~20%.
It would be higher if you removed “thriving” from the list.
Maybe you should make some noise until an MP cleans up the issue.
So how does UK law handle federation?
IANAL, but most law that I’ve heard of regarding third party content requires the site hosting the content to conform to takedown notices issued. So, having a good DCMA system requires you to be able to take down content from instances that may not be bad, but governed differently.
As for the law “catching up with” federation sites, I don’t see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.
Yeah, if.
Has BlueSky implemented federation yet?
I feel like this is going to become a problem with federation in the future. A Mastodon instance is hosting content outside of its control that may or may not comply with its internal policies or local law. Is that instance protected legally? Likely not.
It would likely be treated the same way as auto forwarding an email would be treated.
It is easier to hire a billing specialist instead of a nurse.
There are a lot of positions out there that, due to education and experience requirements, the industry can’t fill.
The concrete mailbox ban isn’t there due to a booby trap ban.
There are a lot of regulations regarding what can be near roads as their presence can provide a potential hazard to traffic. This includes a mailbox. Mailboxes are designed to be within the clear zone, the area that needs to be kept clear of obstacles, in order to allow mailmen to deliver mail to them. So, in order for them to be within the clear zone, they have to be designed to break away when hit by a car.
This has nothing to do with the intent of the person hitting the mailbox.
Smaller community size. It is a lot easier to moderate a small community instead of a large one.
It is also the reason why Reddit moderators fought the API ban. Reddit moderators had developed their own tech stack to help them moderate the very large subs. Lemmy isn’t at the size where those tools are needed.
Europe had practical seafaring since antiquity. European naval technology during the discovery of the Americas was on par with other Eastern Hemisphere naval powers.
The naval technology empowered the discovery, but it isn’t like Europe was special at the time.
Also, it still took a while to bypass the Silk Road. Even when Europe did, it still ran into an issue that China wouldn’t trade for any European manufactured goods, just gold and silver.
