I played Quake 4 when I was like 10. Didn't make it past the conveyor belt.

So was the guy with the swastika flag at the freedom convoy.

Is is possible to overclock Nvidia cards using Wayland or xwayland?

Feeding into existential dread, studying philosophy and trying magic mushrooms. YMMV

If anything comes of this and we get a comprehensive single payer system it will so many positive effects as we adjust over the course of a decade.

Something that not many people consider is the effect on business owners and labour:

business owners will have a lower overhead for their employees insurance

Labour unions will have better bargaining power because of this cost reduction.

I can't recommended Burning Wheel enough to any playgroup that hasn't played it before.

It's Artha system to reward players challenging their beliefs is perfect.

If he knew about the fediverse, he would have to make internet access illegal to have the amount of power he wants the feds to have, lmao.

Let's just hope liberal voters stop owning themselves by voting for the LPC instead of the NDP.

That would require the Republicans to have knowledge of history outside their own country.

What about privacy coins like Monero?

Nulberry

Same boat here.

I think it has to do with the config file for firmware.

The BoCs mandate is to manage inflation, regardless of any excessive federal spending.

Tor, i2p

It does make more sense the other way around you are right, and the issue really is that it is unmaintained

Aether is based on Scuttlebutt I think? Maybe I should poke around upstream and see if any bridge exists already.

It's democratized representational moderation.

Only members of a community that have been there for a while can become moderators. Moderator elections are held from time to time, and only long standing members of each community may vote on their moderators. A moderator is not removed unless they are inactive for a long period, or the community disagrees with their decisions enough to impeach them.

Any user on Aether is free to blacklist any other user, preventing that users content from ever touching their computer. (This feature is present on Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse also)

Very fair point, and all perfect examples of the value of circumstantial censorship.

To Aether's credit: something can't be both ephemeral and unremovable; being ephemeral suggests that it will be removed automatically given enough time. To my understanding: the moderation policy on Aether prevents users from downloading content that moderators have hidden. It is only if a user goes out of their way to view hidden content that they risk exposure to it.

If federation from Aether to Lemmy were technically possible, surely it would be within the capabilities of Lemmy to only pull and display data that the moderators of an Aether instance deem appropriate. It would of course be up to any Lemmy server host whether they accept the federation, and if they feel the need to blacklist any Aether communities.

Comments and posts being ephemeral on Aether is essentially a moot point from a data preservation perspective, as it would be trivial for someone to backup the data.

The ephemeral nature of Aether is more valuable from a user convenience perspective as everything you subscribe to in Aether is stored on your device. Posts deleting themselves after a time means that your Aether data folder doesn't grow too large.

To further my point: Lemmy server hosts would be a great group to backup Aether data for users that don't want to have a large local data folder and for record keeping.

To me, Aether's big thing is that it applies true decentralization and opt-in censorship resistant to reddit's organic community growth and thread style.

The democratization of moderation on Aether is an extremely elegant solution that I don't think translates well to Lemmy. Lemmy server hosts could ultimately overrule any moderator decision just as reddit did this past week. This is not possible in a top down way on Aether, but I still see Lemmy as a useful potential bridge.

Fair point about it being a potential waste of resources as Aether is unmaintained.

What specifically sound like crap to you? Attempting to shoehorn Aether into Lemmy somehow? Just asking for clarity :)

That is how Aether works.

Aether is a reddit alternative that I prefer to Lemmy honestly, however it is not being maintained.
