You're obviously right, but it's just the same trap that humanity keeps running into: Mediocre platform with a majority of users turns into centralized monopoly.

And it's almost like a case study that this is going to happen no matter the circumstances, because the base technology is decidedly not the problem, and the users are techie enough to have been burned multiple times, and where the technological friction of switching to another platform isn't the problem either. The problem is entirely social.

Obviously, federation is the technical solution trying to eliminate this social problem. But for it to have a chance at solving anything at all, we need international legislation to force monopolists to adopt federation.

I believe, that's the opposite of doom scrolling...

Well, the 'politics' communities are usually used by US folks as their politics communities. It's great that Trump is doing senile-old-man things again, but I cannot vote for or against the guy anyways. So, there is no real reason for me to keep up with that drama.

Git itself is already capable of distributed usage, which is better than federated/decentralized.
'Distributed' and 'decentralized' in this sense:

But in terms of the Git hosting service, with an issue board and all that, which is often called a "git forge", you've got Forgejo working on an implementation, as well as ForgeFed as a general protocol (also work-in-progress).

You're supposed to cut off the green parts. 🫠

I noticed yesterday that openSUSE specifically recommends not using Ventoy, due to possible boot issues: https://en.opensuse.org/Create_installation_USB_stick#Ventoy

The "Ventoy Update" post looks rather suspicious to me. The dev didn't respond to the GitHub issue, so this might just be some jackass pretending to be the dev.

But independently of that, the BLOBs are even more suspicious...

I believe, this entire post is fiction...

Well, then...

I mean, you say that now, but if someone stood on the other side of the river and shot arrows at you, would you really disagree with them?

Cooking with rice. I was never big on rice, so never had particular ambitions for experimenting with it.
Then I found a rice variety in the shops, which actually tastes nice on its own, and also you're allowed to just dump it into a pot of water, then drain the remaining water, which I much prefer for experimenting.

And yeah, that has led to me catching up with experimenting very quickly. Last week I made basically a risotto using:

• rice
• red lentils
• vegetable broth
• coconut milk
• bell peppers
• caraway
• teriyaki sauce
• sriracha sauce

...and last, but definitely not least, orange slices.

And it tasted fucking rad. That's my favorite feature of rice. You can throw in the wildest ingredients and it magically makes them work together.

You mean more like Veloren. 🙃
