My dummy understanding is that each instance could be considered a “client”, in the sense that they’re always on the lookout for data from other instances whenever the latter generates new content. Either that or, when one connected user checks what’s on a different instance, it downloads to the local cache, ie: if I, from programming.dev, am the first to check this thread, a copy gets saved locally (cache) in the programming.dev server, which might check back on the original source in the case of any edits.

Gemini doesn’t allow multimedia like that. What you’re looking for is Neocities.org

here’s one

Itaú, largest private bank in Brazil. Thanks to a 1995 law, all earnings from stock shares’ dividends are tax exempt. They’re always lobbying and pushing forward legislation to make the rich richer, to the point that they managed to found, together with other bankers, a political party, Novo, who fiercely defend libertarian economic values and sidestep individual liberties.

Second would be Microsoft. They took over the computer world in the 90s and didn’t pay for their crimes. All they did was try and pretend nothing bad happened and that they totally wouldn’t ever do anything similar again, pinkie promise. Nevermind the office2007 standard never fully working on alternative software, nevermind microsoft teams, pay no mind to them buying out github, nevermind their shit being inside pretty much every government around the world. They hold absurd amounts of power.

Third place goes to all non state owned petrol companies. Thank you for your continuous funding of bogus research against scientific climate facts and, more importantly, in funding assholes the world over to ensure climate change and global warming go full throttle. Fuck you with a hot exhaust pipe.

GOOD FUCKING BYE, JAVASCRIPT AND HTML!!!

Shine on, Gemini!

i,don’t,think,that’ll,work

Mostly history documentaries below:

• Fall of Civilization (takes forever to upload stuff, but it’s always superb quality)
• Kings and Generals (wars, historic battles and the context surrounding them)
• Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages (several videos show the very likely migrations of different peoples in ancient times)
• Ancient Americas (north, central and south americas)
• Real Time History (most videos are ~27 minutes, but the Franco Prussian war is a whopping 6 hours and worth it)

Semen becomes super sticky and kind of “curdles” when mixed with water and becomes significantly harder to clean off.

Dry clean first with toilet paper or some disposable cloth, then wash with water and plenty of soap.

We need to get off the internet. Or at least off lemmy. Probably better to get off the internet more often, otherwise we’ll just find something else :/

Were there any comments on lack of repairability or the obtuse insistence on removing physical keys?

What did you go through that he should know about? What should I know about?

As a male, not much really happens, other than feeling grumpy as hell pretty much all the time, an undeserved sense of superiority after realizing how logic works, and a fucking intense sex drive. I cannot stress the last part enough, teenage boys are a horny bunch and, thanks to the internet, will probably masturbate multiple times a day. What you should tell him, and hope it enters his brain, is that the more porn he consumes, the less likely he’ll be to feel satisfied with actual sex, which can lead to disappointing relationships later on.

Another couple of comments said to “knock before entering his room”. If you want to “assert authority”, open without knocking and, if you catch him in the act, just nonchalantly tell him to “do it elsewhere and clean up properly” - if anything, teach him to wipe it dry and don’t use water to clean up. He will feel ashamed from being caught, but if you, as his mother, treats it as something natural and expected, hopefully he’ll get the right idea that, yes, that is something to be done in privacy, but not necessarily something to feel ashamed of.

Talk about sex. Tell him that he must wear a condom when he does it and to keep a bottle of lube to help (water based lube only, oils will wreck condoms)

Lastly, if he ever brings a girlfriend home, tell her to only do it with a condom and to not accept any of his possible excuses to not use one.

If a person uses a libre VoIP app, there is no need for cell service

I don’t follow. Don’t you need internet for VoIP? Unless the point is to have a phone that gets zero connection while outside a wifi, which sounds kinda pointless?

Survival, discretion and having plans matters. Martyrs can only do so much to rally people to a cause. What’s the point of being yet another body in a Russian gulag if the govt manages to effectively erase you and everything you stood for? Loudly complaining and going to jail, with your family and friends being censored and monitored by the govt, will help how?

TLDR - We need more Luigis against the techbros
