Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.

Maybe he didn't have the money to launch a suit.

Perhaps I'm too tired to understand your meaning here (it's late), but blockchain isn't crypto currency. It's a distributed ledger, and was around long before crypto. It's not completely immutable either as the hard fork of Ethereum proved.

Blockchain could be used to record energy transactions, but the question is why would you want to? What benefit does it add?

Btw homeowners in parts of Australia are already receiving credits for the excess solar power they generate. There's no need to manufacture a new system to enable that functionality.

Once again, I'm tired. Perhaps I've misunderstood your reasoning.

Yes, there's a decent (albeit bare bones) Android client. The web interface is about to have a major update, but at the moment is pants.

Singapore has apartments above some of the MRT stations, which also usually have a mall attached. Presuming the noise dampening was sufficient, I'd move into one of those in a heartbeat. It'd make shopping and dining out much easier.

That's great if you have one of the handful of phones supported, but for the rest of us, not so much.

Bicycles and kick scooters will be banned from footpaths that are next to cycling lanes from the fourth quarter of this year. They must stick to the cycling lane instead. Only personal mobility aids like motorised scooters will be allowed on these pedestrian-only paths. These will have a speed limit of 6 km/h by the end of next year. The Land Transport Authority says this is to keep paths safer for all, especially seniors and young children.

The jobseeker program is just like the weight-loss industry. They do just enough to appear to be doing something, but not enough to actually fix the problem. If they did succeed, they'd be out of a job.

That's going into Google's pocket, not the creators'.

Agree. We don't even teach them to drive at night.

My chief complaint about DDG is excluding a term from a query rarely works. The "-" tag is not reliable.
