This is wild. Not only mandatory validation, but some sort of credit system to monitor how much porn a person is watching?

Ban private fireworks and reserve them only for licensed, scheduled displays run by professionals.

Puberty itself is full of irreversible changes. Having puberty blockers available to trans youth is important to prevent their bodies from making changes they don’t want, and is reversible later.

Yep, I have Kagi set as my default, but if I’m searching for places nearby or current events, I usually end up back on google. But 90+% of my search queries stay on Kagi which is impressive enough. In the past I’ve tried DuckDuckGo and always switched back in part because the results quality was very bad.

I can’t wait to freely cast my ballot AGAINST either a genocidal capitalist or a worse genocidal capitalist.

Very similar, yes

While Kagi does have a very specific audience in mind, I’m not convinced specialization vs generalization is a reason for a difference. Google also tailors ads for the audience, using information they have collected on you, people similar to you, as well as general time of day, current events, etc. It’s more that google wants you on their site for longer, Kagi wants you to find your result and move on, since the more you search the more it costs them.

I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t think it’s easy to deliver such low density heat in a useful way. Large datacenters are located away from residential land because they can be unpleasant to live near, and while businesses could be close by, what industries can utilize a huge volume of ~100 degree air?

Idk about you but I’ve thought of making a Lemmy instance exclusively for bots. Have an algorithm make posts, have a collection of llm accounts semi-randomly commenting on them and responding to each other. It could allow federated users to make comments that are able to be interacted with by the bots.

How’s a data center going to use a lot of hot air? Maybe they could use specialized heat pumps to condense it even more and spin some turbines, but the efficiency would be extremely low and probably not worth the investment. Best option is probably to just heat a few adjacent buildings in the winter.

It sounds really grim, but if politicians feared they’d be shot for their greed, maybe we’d have a more fair society.

It’s truly shocking how a tiny company of a few people can outperform one of the largest companies in the world with search. Google is full of ads though, so it’s more profitable for them if you have to spend more time on their page to see more ads.

This whole thing could be run by bots. You might be the only human here

Could you actually cite a law that roughly describes what you are claiming?

That blog is a gross simplification and is not authoritative. Most of the time, you probably want to register your car in your state of residency, but if you scroll down just a tiny bit there are a whole list of states that allow you to register a car as a non-resident. All states respect cars registered in the other states, so if the vehicle is licensed and insured in one state and you have a valid personal drivers license, I see no reason why that wouldn’t work.

Are you though? Your license needs to be for your own state, but I’ve never read anywhere that this applies to car registrations.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but most small blogs support rss. That’s enough if you just want a personal feed, and one could really easily build a bot to post articles onto Mastodon or Lemmy or similar. I’d be surprised if there isn’t already one.

Zionism has always been a far-right nationalist movement. Some Zionists openly supported the Nazis because they believed they would cause increased migration of Jewish people from Europe to Palestine.

To whatever extent that terrorism and war are separate, it’s only a way for those in power to tell uninformed people which violence to support or who to hate. “We’re going to war to bring freedom” vs “Those terrorists are attacking the [colonial] government!”
