Who actually built it? Who, in the US, built it? You’ll be surprised at how much of a distraction “states” are in understanding International action. The same people who set up Israel set up the post-WWII institutions. They have been the greatest beneficiaries of that order and don’t care about nations or states or those categories. What matters is they benefit from as much of human labour as possible.
I might be living on top of a tunnel for all I know now.
Galton introduced fingerprinting in South Africa as an experiment after Indians introduced it to him. Managing miners using fingerprints was one of those moments capitalism and colonialism converged on science and technology and shaped the global sector we now call identification.

Processing of the national digital identity cards to begin in the next twenty days.
> "When someone is given this number at birth, it's the same number that will be their school identification number, their university identification number, it will be their ID number when they turn 18, it will be their KRA pin number and their lifetime number... it's a lifetime number from birth to death.
Agree with you.
One thing I have always found precious for my 10+ yrs on forums like reddit and 3+ yrs on fediverse is how high quality conversations are by people who usually don’t obsess about numbers and publicity in likes and upvotes etc.
Genuine communities here on the fediverse will evolve at their own pace.
But who, exactly, is supposed to create this “niche content” for them? I think this is something we underestimate—large swaths of people see themselves as consumers of quality content. It is not for them to bring in comments or interesting finds to the communities. This I think is what makes the internet ripe for centralization. You can’t be a non-paying consumer and choose your menu. You can pay with your behavior datapoints and get fads packaged to you, or you can help create an ecosystem where you don’t have to be spied on every click and tap of the day. Choose your path and make peace with it. The worst would be to help create content for a community and be spied while at it.
What do you mean both sides are the same? They are not. One is 6 and the other is 9.
Edit: I don’t mean it in a cynical way. Just that positioning matters in establishing truth. It is not just a matter of perspective (defined as subjective perception) but rather a matter of position (defined as inter-subjective agreement).
I thought I was the only one who saw some lag with Kai today. When the rest of the team is stretching themselves to get that extra pass, he seemed a little out of gas or enthusiasm.
He should be in every game after the 80th minute. He seems to just get it!
Neat!
If you can, please keep supporting the devs with some resources.
For fonts, not really picky, like Roboto works well with web renders. But my point is that there should be font size options like small/large etc. I find it working well on Memmy app.
7-8 posts on iPhone XR (my testing phone, I don’t have the 13).
Sleek! Feels focused on the actual content so, that’s a good one in my books. Font alternatives/options might help for more content on the screen (compact feels easier to handle for me as there is less scrolling).
Happy coding!
“Billionaires hate capitalism” as exemplified by Peter Thiel’s mantra “competition is for losers”.
Off-topic, your hair looks like it’s charged by your touching the coffee cup.
Indeed. Perfectly described.
Aha! What a beautiful concept.
There is a level of hostage taking that makes you question the whole logic of digital economy. If one side (customers) are complaining and the other side is not (house owners), then, the madness is not that bad. But this is insanity. Both sides complain every time yet keep going back to the hostage situation.
Tried it last few days and I kind of like it a lot.
That is the logic most people confuse with socially-focused spaces like the fediverse ecosystem. The point is not to create monopolies but to have a diverse information system so no one node controls the flows. Co-existence is the word. The tough bit is to create a space big enough to create healthy information flow without being too big as to monopolize the neighborhood.
