Do we know why? And is it a represented trend in the fediverse or are we overall maintaining health?

I’ve been playing around with matrix, seems pretty good tbh. Matrix.org for the info, and then joinmatrix.org is a good resource for finding other public instances (homeservers).

I think eventually me and some friends may selfhost

I agree to be honest. And it would be interesting to see what an appeal would drum up. I disagree with the “de facto tour leader” concept, but I think in any mountaineering situation everyone has a responsibility to everyone else in their party. And having experience as a mountaineer is enough to make him liable for his negligent decision making. (Tbh, him not having experience would probably make him more liable…)

I think it is important to set a precedent, and I think it is a reasonable sentence.

I think that the media attention is far more severe than what this climber deserves. However, I think that they also deserve some form of probationary period w.r.t. this type of activity. (Although I recognise that’s almost impossible in a legal framework).

How many of those fords have been sold in only the past 2-3 years?

Hell, a lot of the “latest” models of ford (in terms of appearance) are as old as Tesla sales

Uh oh, Suzerain coming to reality

Rare malazan reference in the wild

Rapist gets along with rapist

This happens already!! As the other commenter mentioned you need transmission lines between the countries, but in more developed parts of the world this is the norm.

One of my favourite websites shows current generation as well as the interconnects between grids: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/72h/hourly

This makes me irrationally angry

They did make a rally inspired version! Although I think it’s more racey than longer suspension.

That Peugeot would be brilliant. I want more hot hatch electric cars. Instead of all these fucking SUV mimics.

See the new Renault 4 and 5

To clarify, it is a significant stretch that under British law Palestine Action committed any acts of terrorism.

It is mostly an authoritarian overreach.

And the reason that people are protesting so vehemently is two-fold:

Firstly, it is critical for the functioning of our society, that the government is not able to freely carry out gross abuses of power such as the designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Secondly, it is relatively trivial for the government to use their proscription of Palestine Action as a basis for the proscription of subsequent protest groups, and they have also already used it to arrest people simply for signs which say things like “free Palestine”.

In other words, protestors are able to make twice the impact with a single protest.

You are correct that the protests are specifically about the group Palestine Action. Which while they have committed crimes within the UK haven’t committed any acts of terror. And therefore should not be classified as terrorist.

The terror act was extremely controversial when it was enacted because it grants the government far reaching authoritarian abilities which are fundamentally against our standard of human rights.

It is only acceptable for extreme cases of groups which are in fact committing acts of terror against civilian population.

Therefore, it is protesting against the decision to designated a group which is not terrorist as terrorist

He did it twice. And it was very clear.

I would add that I think checking out and joining smaller instances is also a great opportunity. Distributes the user load across servers and being one of fewer voices in an instance means you have a bigger say in who you federate with. You also get to be a third party instance to most of the big drama and don’t get judged just for your instance as much

Edit: also, if you like your instance, contribute to it!
