The GOP has been playing the long game on this one. They started their campaign to wreck public education 50 years ago. Keep the minions dumb, right?

My wife planted salad greens and herbs years ago that I enjoyed. So yeah, I may revisit that.

Personally, I believe that American politicians should wear several hats. For example, I believe people not only want their ability to legislate but also show strength in leadership.

This passive-aggressive attitude just makes them look weak.

Everything I’ve planted on my property are perennials. That includes flowering/insect attracting plants as well as fruit and nut trees (blueberries, raspberries, black walnut and apple). I haven’t gotten into annual/kitchen gardening yet and I may not. This year I’ll focus on methods of landscaping to cut back on the amount of lawn mowing to be done.

Thanks for sharing that article. ATproto and ActivityPub are very different indeed. I can understand why someone would be hesitant to join if they preferred the way ActivityPub is structured.

…this would make the official first non-bluesky controlled router?

Yes.

They will run their own server, yes.

You are giving Trump too much personal credit. It’s not him that is making headway. It’s being done for him by others in the background. Now you have context for my previous comments.

Trump is an infant that requires everything done for him.

Even starlink is starting to get major market competition for cheaper.

Please elaborate.

‘Goes Full Dictator’, that New Republic chose for the title, is clickbait fearmongering bullshit.

That whiny orange child couldn’t dictate shit even if his hand was being held.

You are describing how non-brainwashed educated and intelligent people behave. Unfortunately, here in the USA, there are a very large percentage of brainwashed people (that may or may not be educated and intelligent).

Nearly two thirds of the world’s countries have abolished the death penalty. I don’t understand why the USA is so ass-backwards on certain issues such as this.

This doesn’t belong in /c/technology. Try /c/spirituality.

I think such a thing makes an immediate civil war very likely.

I don’t see anything like that ever happening in the near future.

OK. Thanks for the explanation.
