I don't think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

It's important to maintaining my self-image as a cool and aloof guy that you know I'm not doing the nice thing out of the goodness of my heart.

I do this, not because I'm courteous but because if I take one from the outdoor corrals I don't have to wait behind three grannies slowly selecting carts from the inside corral.

It doesn't just please OCD people, it also lets you sort by date when sorted alphabetically. Anything less is madness.

Although, I think the answer to the barrier to entry is to be less concerned with making federated services feel like centralized apps, more concerned with rebranding server select as the advantage that it actually is. Educate those people.

It's not gatekeeping, none of the opinions shared here by Linus are categorically leftist. The person retweeting him is erroneously putting him into a box, or knows more about his full ideology than he's shared in the tweet.

Low-weaponization nuclear reactors already exist, industrial-scale grid storage doesn't, but yes the answer to this dispute would be much more clear if it did!

Only one type of reactor, the old uranium design, produces anything weapons grade (Which then requires an additional step to purify). Don't use that reactor design.

Nuclear reactors do not need to use weapons-grade materials or byproducts.

I love subsidizing these jackoffs energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos... From the same supplier.

To an extent they're right but probably not in the way they intended to be. Government subsidies help ensure that animal ag can be profitable and incentivized regardless of consumption levels, and the ever-expanding amounts of land required for most animal ag and it's support infrastructure (eg feedstock production, a byproduct of industrial soy oil) literal fuel and are fueled by imperial expansion in a cyclic self-reinforcing fashion. If people stopped eating beef today without also protesting it's existence you'd probably see the animal ag industry continue to run on it's own fumes for years.

The straw thing was a manufactured distraction.

 

My entire life I've used either Turbotax or HRBlock to file my own taxes as I've only had to deal with 1099s and W-2s, but this year I finally sold off some of the bitcoin I've been accumulating and I do not trust those services to handle capital gains correctly. I've already got my books mostly in order, I'm just looking for a CPA who I can sit down with in person and trust to minimize my expenses while making sure I do all due diligence, without over-charging me merely "because it's crypto". Bonus point if you can recommend someone you've used for this exact purpose. Thank you!
