not that i don’t think you could ask about them here, but there are a number of self host communities that you should check out, here are two of the bigger ones:

!selfhosted@lemmy.world !selfhost@lemmy.ml

i learned about GNU Taler the other day from one of the OS communities

I wish we would just keep adding E’s so long threads would be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

which also happens to be the noise I make when I see them.

we also live in a world which has now known that premise and used it for 300 years, which makes it seem much more trivial than it was at the time.

I was curious so I looked, Wikipedia says the asteroid belt currently contains only about 3% the mass of the moon. I definitely thought it would be more!

while I agree they are probably doing this and we should have better data privacy/ownership, the scope of the data they can pull from the fediverse is substantially less than what they get from their platform.

when you’re on Facebook, they control and track everything. which posts you see, which you don’t, and in what order, how long you looked at a given post, whether or not you scrolled through comments, every movement of your mouse, everything you typed and deleted in that text box, where on the screen you touched while you dragged to scroll, what text you highlighted, absolutely everything.

the only data they can probably pull from the fediverse is posts, comments, and like/dislike. maybe which posts you clicked into if that’s public and I’m pretty sure they can’t get which posts were shown to you without owning the instance you’re on.

what if it needed just one more second to complete?

my take is white-washing. if they actually wanted to make a change, they could stop selling plastic bottles at any time.

the farmer saying he treats the animals like family, which one might imply means he treats them well. but his family has to secretly run away from him due to abuse (insinuated by the wife quickly leaving with the kids). this mean he probably also abuses the animals, which is opposite of the implied meaning.
