I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won’t double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)

Well ain’t that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can’t possibly be true…

Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn’t also a private company.

Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.

Thank you. This is not the kind of thing I thought I’d be having trouble telling truth from fiction about in 2025.

I am so confused by this comment, and further confused as to all the upvotes.

There is clearly an inside joke that I’m not getting, or people are really hot for gingers.

Naw, we are talking about the same thing. I bring up infrastructure, as many have, because that’s the reality of the situation. The entire continental United States is built for cars, and that’s not changing anytime soon. The reality is that cars are necessary, and at this time, it is near impossible and a safety hazard for most americans to try and use bikes due to the hostile road infrastructure in place.

It is NOT economically more feasible here, at this time, and unless the investors that have put billions of dollars into lobbying for car-dependent cities suddenly want to default on their near-hundred year investment, it isn’t going to happen.

Ooof, that hurt to read.

“The nature of your crimes and abuse of power displayed in covering them up represents an unforgivable betrayal of the public trust and indicates a total impossibility of reform,” declared Merchan during the sentencing. “It has been proven beyond doubt that you offered Ms. Daniels $40 and some Burger King to keep your tryst ‘on the DL,’ so as not to jeopardize your chances of a shift supervisor promotion and $2 per hour raise at an Amazon warehouse. It is my hope that this sentencing will show the American people that such a lack of ethics will not be tolerated in the lower-mid echelons of our nation’s great privatized shipping and receiving companies, may God have mercy on your soul.”

Is this a parody site? There is no way this kid is going to prison for life over 40 bucks and some burger king.

Honestly, at the time they probably were the left. Depending on which definition of left vs right we are using, because of course there are multiple stances on what left vs right means :(

cries in recently educated

Ahhhh, good to know! Maybe that’ll take off!

Holy wow, I’m so disappointed in myself for not seeing that xD

I take it you’ve never been outside a big city in Texas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Et Cetera.

I’m only listing places I’ve been. An e-bike would just not cut it, especially if you have small children. There are places you can not go without getting on a freeway, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I’m putting a small child on the freeway or highway on a bike.

Yo, what?? I need to do some research apparently, because I was under the impression that their stay was paid by for taxes. It can’t be both, and if it is I may need to change careers.

Those ancient and federal policy makers? Liberals, probably xD

Thank you for the reading list! I’ll take a gander :)

Okedoke, well I just learned that I have no concrete grasp of political labels and need to do a LOT of research.

equals delta? confused math noises

Yeah, people suck.

You’re still not correct. Here

You are correct that 12:10 is 00:10, but that’s not what was said. I said 12am is the 24th hour.

Plop in 24:00 into military, guess what you get? 12am my guy.

I’ll explain why this is the case. 12am is marking the 12th hour of the evening, 12:01+ is counting into the first hour of the next morning. Same with 24th hour, 24:00 is the end of the 24th hour. There is no 24:01, it rolls around to 00:01 marking the first minute of the next day. 24:00 still exist though, it marks the massing of the last minute of the last hour of the day.

12am is the 24th hour, so yes it still works. I could be wrong, but I’m not.
