Saw midwest.social, was not disappointed
I kinda miss "toilets with auras"
Isn't this just a function of the OS, and not the app?
Insurance generally does not cover arson, but I don't know if their policy specifically does. If it was covered, the insurance company is going to consider raising the premiums for coverage. If enough dealerships have to make claims due to arson, all dealerships may have increased premiums, or may even become uninsurable, which would likely stop them from operating at all.
I was offended at first glance, but then remembered that there were two shootings at my old apartment, and I have a cop friend of a friend that regularly posts dashcam footage from his car chase of the week in the discord. I'm also kinda fat, so the rest seems to check out.
You are absolutely right, random acts of violence will result in more problems. That's why: "You know, if you had one day, like one real rough, nasty day, one rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately. End immediately. You know, it'll end immediately."
Do you feel the same way about centralized currency's apparatuses? Visa, MasterCard, Chase, BoA, PayPal, the U.S. Mint, the FBI's anti-counterfeiting department, point-of-sale terminal manufacturers, etc. These all use so much more resources than all of crypto combined, not to mention the human lives wasted to support it all.
You say that if crypto disappeared, nothing would happen. I posit that if fiat currencys disappeared (and were replaced by a crypto that isn't energy intensive) that you would have a net improvement to global society. You could hand out lifelong annuity/pension/UBI for all the displaced workers, pay them to dump all the executives/shareholders at the bottom of the ocean, and still have excess money left over. All those former bank tellers would have time to pursue their interests, and maybe produce some music/art/whatever for the rest of us along the way. (Bitcoin and proof-of-work's energy waste do need to be trashed though.)

There is no reason to worry about enforcement of insider trading, after a law is passed to prevent them from holding any stocks at all (except maybe index funds)

Lemmy is hostile to virtue signaling that leads nowhere (or somewhere worse if enough people do it). Post an idea that's actually useful instead, and we will intently listen.
They do have a special name though - "the product"
It is another Firefox fork. If Firefox is in trouble, so is this project.
I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called "feds."
It was in the New York Times and ProPublica. Others are probably just getting to it.
Me too! My favorite is that some river turtles can breathe through their assholes.
"No Eminent Domain for Corporate Gain!" Farming families challenging AI/datacenters' fossil fuel power diversion project.
Rural and suburban families from Baltimore, Frederick, and Carroll Counties waited in a line extending down the road to enter a gathering hall at a local senior center, where a company named "Public Service Enterprise Group" held a community information session regarding the "Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project." Some of the people in line had heard of the project by word-of-mouth less than 48 hours prior to attending the July 12th event. Despite being formed on July 9th, 2024, the facebook group "STOP MPRP" had a large presence as a collective of concerned citizens at the event. The group reached 7,000 members the day after the event.
The project's stated goal is to improve the reliability of the grid, which distributes power to datacenters in neighboring Virginia. Rather than building renewable power closer to the datacenters, the project instead calls for fossil fuel derived energy to be distributed across Maryland along 70 miles of transmission lines out of Pennsylvania, which d
