Even in European countries there are two dominant parties that work with others on their side of the aisle. In fact the concept of a left and right comes from France.

Polarization is universal in politics at the scales or democracy.

I feel many people are so privileged on both sides of politics that they have nothing better to do than to create their own problems.

Yes. Politically militant people are becoming more common. This time last month people seemed to have been much more agreeable even if they didn’t agree with you.

This is the most simple solution and probably a lot safer than the alternatives. Another good option would be to use OpenVPN.

Many people, including myself personally, have been telling people how much of a liar he is for at least 6 or 7 years at this point. Ever since the “hyperloop” nonsense got big.

Pleasantly surprised with SpaceX and Starlink delivering, but even those are plagued by Musk over promising in what is actually doable.

Tankies are the left’s version of internet nazis on the right.

Ultimately they aren’t a serious threat to anyone, even if their views are harmful and misguided.

If a program screws up and crashes while writing data to your drive, it can take out more than just the data it was dealing with. RAID will simply destroy data on both your drives at the same time, making any data recovery impossible.

Someone on lemmy here suggested Restic, a backup solution written in Go.

I back up to an internal 4TB HDD every 30 minutes. My most important files are stored in an encrypted file storage online in the cloud.

Restic is good stuff.

Yes. One aspect is high humidity, where there is more drag on the car because of the moisture in the air. Since Warren air has more capacity for moisture than low air, it means heat plays some factor in gas mileage.

I’m sure there’s tons of other factors that heat plays into as well, such as your engine running outside optimal temperature ranges or how much grip your tires have on the road.

Not really. I was the first two weeks of the Reddit blackout, but not I just use lemmy on my lunch break, exactly like I did when I still went to Reddit.

I use FOSS. You can’t ever truly know if a pirated piece of software is back doored or not, so why even risk it?

We decided to call what fire does to us “hot” and what ice does to us as “cold”. They are physically both different manifestations of the same thing, temperature.

Don’t you need email for matrix? You certainly need it for discord.

Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff. Lemmy does not have a central administration that can make decisions like that, as each instance gets to decide if they federate with another instance or not.

There’s no doubt going to be a banlist that gets shared amongst the biggest, most popular instances to get rid of the trolls.

There’s nothing stopping anyone from doing either of those things right now though.

There’s always going to be big players, power mods, corporations, etc. trying to invade every community. I’m not worried. They didn’t kill the web, they aren’t going to kill the fediverse.
