The fire department supported dissolving RCD and welcomed the DeSantis puppets. So no, not jumping to conclusions at all.

A quick search says Amazon is 37% of online commerce (depending on which sketchy result you want to trust enough for a Lemmy thread).

If Amazon is problematic, then Apple is a serious issue.

The HOV lane is supposed to look empty. If it was packed full of cars, carpooling wouldn't have any advantage because you wouldn't go any faster.

Hell, I'm going to schedule a parade and fireworks.

The Internet is a series of tubes, not a dump truck.

I found fishing for (and following) hashtags on Mastodon effective but Mastodon was also in much better shape to receive the waves of Twitter exoduses.

Lemmy lacks effective tools to organize a feed. I think many people recreated their favorite subreddits as communities but the userbase was too small to support them. Being able to create "multi-reddits" to group related micro-communities together to help mitigate the ghost town feeling as you raise the probably of at least one of them having something new to talk about.

Holy crap that was a wild read. Jewish Mother but a Holocaust denier. Died in exile in Iceland while evading criminal deportation to the US. I had this vague memory that he was an asshole but I had no idea.

This is highly offtopic flamebait that will trigger a protracted argument of little substance.

Further, how you've casually slipped into a debate about capital punishment for enormous swathes of population is disturbing and disgusting. This is the lack of self awareness that others have mentioned here.

Why do you even bother to engage in World News if your primary interest is ... the moronic good/evil framing of the world

From the guy that uses "imperialist" in every other sentence. This is especially ironic given that Russia is the one invading and annexing territory.

Oddly enough, without changing buying habits or consumer demand, I think the Amazon truck is a superior option.

• Instead of thousands of individual trips to the store for small things, a single vehicle delivers everything
• Instead of many hyper-local stores packed with things that may or may not eventually be sold, only things that have been purchased are shipped and transported

The trick, as you said, is to change consumer behavior and people balk at doing that, especially when it will cost more and income inequality hits harder than ever. Tax the rich, level the playing field, and the rest gets much easier.

TLD - Top Level Domain (.com .ml .whatever)

Registrar - NameCheap, PorkBun, etc. Submits your domain.TLD request to a Registry

Registry - Maintains the list of domains for a specific TLD and the server infrastructure to run the TLD

ICANN - Decides who can be a Registry and for which TLD. Not involved in the nitty gritty of individual domain names.

What a super weird question. "Cloud computing" is distributed computing. Distributed computing is practically all we have left. Bitcoin/crypto, Kubernetes, Bit Torrent, and endless AWS/Cloud infra patterns. Then we have our happy little Fediverse here.

I feel the author was trying to say "is at home distributed computing dying?" In which case, yes, because Mobile took over and you really can't do background compute on those. Certainly not like how SETI@Home worked.
