@hannu_ikonen I wish she’d break away from the party, declare it dead, and take the reigns of a new party. She’d bring everyone under 60 with her, give hope to the millions of true-Left Americans who have given up on and abandoned this system, and we could finally, mercifully bury the old guard that brought this country to the ruinous state it’s in now.

Although async #Rust can be confusing, I must say it has some nice features that I miss when using other languages.
For example, if I want to do a compound async operation (like fetching a web page over HTTP) but cancel it if it's taking too long, in Rust this is trivial—just race it against a timer, and drop it if the timer wins. When a future is dropped, any async operations it owns are cancelled.
In the other languages I've seen, this is difficult if not impossible.
A core part of every Crypto scam is the story. Quite often it is an elaborate one. It all started with the Bitcoin story, but others, such as DOGE, have their own stories. Quite often people will defend these stories as being true. All the other Crypto currencies and NFTs are a scam, but not this one. Some will just point at high valuations as indicators that it is not a scam, but rather it is just indicators of rather successful scams.
Whatever the story is, the results are the same. The damage done is not small. The idea that Crypto now uses more energy than many countries, when we should be conserving energy, is crazy.
We all have a choice when it comes to Crypto. I decided years ago not to get involved. If I had gotten involved, I would have made a bundle, but I would have been part of the problem and I did not want to do that.
Lets stay away from any products and services that include Crypto. Lets not support this "industry" in any way.

It strikes me that this isn't "straight culture" per se. It's more about all this baggage that is anchored to a conservative mindset that can't allow new ideas even if they work for someone and the old baggage doesn't. I expect that someone who identifies themselves in "queer culture" has already abandoned all that - by choice or by fire. They've been freed of the conservative mindset that doesn't fit them and replace it with something that does (i.e. this list). Something a straight boy like myself could find value in as well.
@Paul Hosking...find value in as well. Quite. I wish I could say I always knew all this but really, I grasped many of these concepts via friendships through the years particularly as they apply to queer life and culture.
A long time ago I was standing in the line at a fairly classy movie theater. Behind me was a pair of women who clearly had a special bond of whatever sort. Neither wore any makeup. Average jeans and sweatshirts. It was all I could do not to stare at them with a big smile on my face. Can a person feel proud of a stranger?
I'd have given them a hug but...well. They looked pretty tough.
Surprise.....demonrats lying again to placate their base.
They need 2/3 vote of each house (67) Senate & (290) House to change the constitution. Then it gets sent to the states & 3/4 of the states (38) must pass it.
They are virtue signaling to try & pacify their sore loser lunatic base.
They are telling them we have a democracy in this country instead of a constitutional republic.😡
I guess lying to keep their base on the plantation is all they got left.🙄

If you fuck with #rock music at all, you should take a moment to check out this album Triple Phoenix by Baltimore-based musician Megazillion. It weaves a fascinating selection of rock and roll's most interesting threads into a enchanting tapestry. It's a little bit #krautrock, #goth, #industrial, #guitar #indie, #shoegaze, #postpunk, #artrock and a lot bit very good.

"Israeli Army Radio reported on Sunday that the Israeli military is set to deploy autonomous guns capable of tracking "targets" [Palestinians] when firing ammunition at strategic sites in the occupied West Bank, despite these systems having largely failed and been disabled on October 7 during Operation al-Aqsa Flood"

The Israeli Army has recently begun acquiring advanced technological systems to be installed in the occupied West Bank, including surveillance towers and mechanisms designed for remote firing.
prices produce privation. they necessitate absence. on survival goods, that means starvation, sickness, and death from exposure, are all required results of capitalism. it can never be convinced to be rid of these evils any more than it can be persuaded to bury itself. therefore capitalism must be destroyed.
you might think, can UBI abolish poverty? unless you institute strict price controls on survival goods, profiteers will simply raise prices to absorb UBI. the profiteer must be stripped of all power in this domain, so that survival can never be withheld. and once you have all those price controls, you will realize it is better to organize essential logistics without price as a guiding principle. abolish starvation with free food — how obvious
I feel like social markets can be engineered to at least mitigate these problems:
It's not like survival goods can just be raised in price universally, since profiteers compete. As long as social markets are effective at preventing cartels and (oligo/)monopolys, there is a chance that an inflation adjusted UBI could indeed end poverty.
As for motivation to work: I feel like humans are intrinsically motivated to do so. If working was optional, i think the only thing we'd see is people taking more breaks, but also becoming more selfish in that they'd rather work on themselves and their own big dreams than than step down and help facilitate a larger collective effort There is also a force missing that forces cooperation and compromise Things that are definetly required to complete a team project
But maybe i am wrong and the lessened pressure would actually result in more organic working structures, since bad employers have zero leverage to get people to work - and these organic structures could then create a productive environment
Emulating a sort of "Free Association" that is normaly only found in Anarchism under a social market could be a big shift in power.
I think: If reveloution is not on the horizon, we should push for (ideally EU wide) - High Taxes on Kapital, on the Rich, on "Vermögen" (Extra Houses, shares, etc..) - Universal Basic Income that covers all costs of living for a basic standard of living (could be better) - Relentless crackdowns on monopolies, cartels, and market domination tactics
Manipulating prices directly unfortunately has unintended effects and i am a bit sceptical of it At least anything short of abomishing money

You might've heard this week that the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is back as its authors try to force a new version through in a must-pass end of year spending bill.
Late last week, the Senate released yet another version of the Kids Online Safety Act, written, reportedly, with the assistance of X CEO Linda Yaccarino in a flawed attempt to address the critical free speech issues inherent in the bill.
KOSA proponents include Elon Musk + the Heritage Foundation, who’ve openly shared their plans to use KOSA to censor LGBTQ+ content. Now, with Andrew Ferguson appointed as the new FTC Chair that threat is more real than ever.

Ich liebe es wie die SPD versucht hat auf Mastodon einen Account zu eröffnen und die erste Antwort auf den „Hallo, wir sind neu hier!“ Post, 8 Minuten nachdem dieser geposted wurde, war, „warum habt ihr vor 100 Jahren den Kriegskrediten zugestimmt?“
@SPDde@mastodon.social herzlich Willkommen! Nach 2 Weltkriegen schafft ihr bestimmt noch einen? Oder?
Ich bin da sehr optimistisch! 😘

Warum schaffen Parteien es nicht eine eigene Instanz zu erstellen um so den Mitgliedern, Verbände, etc. eine Möglichkeit zu geben validiert hier zu sein?
Also theoretisch gibt es ja linke.social aber das scheint ja nicht von der Partei zu sein, wenn die linke da kein Account macht. Und gruene.social wird ja nicht von der Partei selber betrieben.

First - I want to thank everyone for being here - we created this site in a moment of despair after learning that the site that most of us had fled from Twitter too was just as corrupt as Twitter in its own way. Our goal was to create a haven for free speech and good people and I am very proud that we have succeeded.
Now, for the "But" - the issue is that we are pretty much out of funds. (CONT'D)
We have asked for contributions as infrequently as possible and each time we have been answered with a very generous outpouring of donations that have paid the bills for 3 and 6 months at a time. However, what we haven't gotten is enough recurring donations to keep us going perpetually.
@Andre and @surferistic and I saw this moment approaching back in the months before the election and at that time we decided that our goal was to keep the place running at a minimum through Nov 5 (CONT'D)
The consensus was that if we won the election, FA the USA would be once again on its way to freedom and greatness and we would no longer be as desperately in need of a place like FA. However, had we lost then we were determined to do whatever it takes to keep FA running through the coming dark days.
So this brings me to where we stand now - we have three options. (CONT'D)
The first option is that if we have enough sustaining contributions, we are happy to simply keep FA running as is.
The second option is that we are open to transferring the financial responsibility and management of the site to one of you if you have an interested.
And the final option is to simply and gracefully close our doors.
Our total operating costs are just over $200 per month, so this is not a big money operation, but we don't have the contributions to keep going... (CONT'D)
So with this said, I'd like to solicit everyone's input and, if now is finally the time, contributions. We are happy to maintain the status quo for as long as enough is coming in to pay the bills, but we have to be realistic and practical about the future.
@TXPatriot2021 @Bleukitty @CarolEmmarie Is there a way we can do a Patreon thing? We can all contribute money per month as Patreon supporters. I pay $51 per year to support someone, for his expertise on a particular subject...
@TXPatriot2021 @Bleukitty @CarolEmmarie Right, yes. I was thinking, though, about a low dollar yearly membership program. This way you would have a continuous stream of revenue. If there were 50 members paying $50/year, that would get you at goal for the $200/mo expenses to run FA.
@nchia @TXPatriot2021 @Bleukitty @CarolEmmarie I would think, if we are serious about this forum, it's a good place to start. I'm in right now. It could be re-evaluated after a year, but I would not mind the supporting the commitment at all.
@CarolEmmarie That sounds like a good idea. When we created this site, there was no safe place to go, but now we have both Truth Social and Twitter. I do think that there is still something to be said for this private little enclave, but if it can't be self-supporting, it just isn't worth it anymore...
I'm pleased that we arrived at this point with the optimistic outcome having eventuated, i.e., Trump's imminent return.
I'm grateful for the hard work by @Bryan & @surferistic who brought this place into being, and for the opportunity to contribute to this place in my own way too.
I agree it is time to either wind FA down or to hand over its operation to a committee of dedicated members. I'll of course support any efforts in this regard.
@Andre @surferistic Here is where we stand by numbers. We have approximately 100 people who have been active in the last day, 200 that have been active in the last week, 250 that have been active in the last month, and all-time we have had approximately 4,500 users register. If less than have of the super-active people would pledge even $5 per month, or if 20% of them would pledge $10 per month, we would be fine, but right now we are only taking in about $60 per month so it is what it is...
Hi guys - What is the official way to donate?? I say if you get the minimum amount of donations each month, just keep the site going as it has been. Send out a month reminder as well..
It has been a Godsend to many who post here as far as great Info, Venting, joking around, etc...... and over time there are many other users who have not joined FA officially who post here from all over the Mastodon Universe.

@Andre 😳 I admit I’ll be lost without this place. So much of what we’ve been waiting for is still to come! Seeing people pay for their crimes, seeing if our deductions were right about parts of the crimes and what side people were on…. That said, I know nothing about how to do any of this but will be in a position to contribute on a regular basis at the end of the month. Finally. Been so grateful for those that could help out. Is it too hard to have quarterly fundraisers??
I am confident that a modest increase in subscribers at $5 per month (40 will cover ongoing costs) plus periodic appeals is a sustainable model for financing FA.
In addition to financial sustainability, there needs to be some operational sustainability in terms of the roles that keep the lights on here.
A few dedicated citizens of Free Atlantis could take up office and periodic vacancies could be similarly filled.
The founders would happily support new the management!
@Andre computers is a language beyond me and I have respect for those that can run things and speak that language. I guess I can see that someday this place may fade away but I’m selfishly not ready for that. We’ve become family in so many ways. I don’t think anyone takes for granted what we have here but we do occasionally need a nudge that time has passed and funds need replenishing. I hope some people can help run things for the future at least a while longer. We have much celebrating to do

@Lori Yes, I understand. But if you have a yearly membership program, you won't have to rely on erratic monthly donations. And the future, at least for a year at a time, is fairly guaranteed. I would gladly use a membership program; it works very well for those who depend on the donation aspect.
@UptownGirl @Lori You can establish a monthly subscription via GiveSendGo - I am not sure that I am understanding what you are asking for that is different than that?
@Lori What I am suggesting is a yearly set dollar membership that would ensure a predictable revenue stream; you would not rely on uncertain donations. Your operating costs would be assured.
@UptownGirl @Lori But we don't want to make the site a closed universe - all we want to do is break even and we are hoping that enough people value this unique place that we can raise a modest $200 per month to cover costs.
I see that this little corner slowly getting lonelier like it has been the over the last year or so. If TRUTH or X is the best place to gather to chat without just dropping out of circulation, then we'll be better off finding a place to gather before everyone scatters and feels left out.
Whatever the consensus, we should get the word out to our FA family we always chat with.
If the head pig can pay his $10,000 a month in costs with his 14 active subscribers , we should be able to cover a few hundred A month to keep this Amazing place going strong and long!!!
I am not anywhere except here…and very occasionally I will comment on Luther’s TG channel. I just am so overwhelmed with my mom’s care that I have little to no time. I apologize that I’m absent so much these days. Please know that I’m always thinking about everyone and hoping all is well with y'all and your families!
I will contribute to keep FA going, but it is easier for me to do this every six months. Would that work? I do want to keep in touch.
One observation… it seems that our feed is less interactive than in past times. I feel like some algorithm is keeping us siloed, instead of interacting more with each other. Am I alone in feeling so isolated, as of late (the past year especially)?
I’m in favor of the monthly membership fee. Hate the thought of losing my connection to such a compassionate, loving & patriotic group of folks. Our travels together have helped us to see the proverbial ‘light at the end of the tunnel,’ through the tough times as well as appreciate the truly good in everyone when we celebrate hard fought battles won. However this washes out, I consider this FA experience to be a valuable life lesson among folks for whom I have tremendous respect. Onward!
I propose everyone keen to see FA continuing, chip in $5 today.
Over the next week, go find some other platforms to join and explore.
Then spend 10 to 14 days completely off FA to give your new platforms a shake.
After that if the new ones work out, come back and say goodbye. If enough still think it’s worth staying and making it work, then start a subscription model.
@Bleukitty @CarolEmmarie Whatever decision is made, I just want to be on record that had FA never happened, I don't believe I would be the thinker I am today.
@UptownGirl @Bleukitty @CarolEmmarie On the full group page you will see a button to click to join (instead of "Leave Group" in the screenshot, it will say "Join Group"). Click the button and you are in.
I included some shots of the members and I saw that you are listed.
Hey, MMA! Missed you! I was wondering what was going on. Not sure if it is that or people dropped off FA. It's been kinda since the new revamped changes I think.
Pro tip: clean YouTube links. When you get a link from YT, it includes an ID to track YOU. It is a "query string" on the end of the URL like this:
...?si=
[tracker_ID_here]This ID allows YouTube (and their owner, Google, and *their* owner, Alphabet, and ALL of their associates) to track the people who click on the link, and the apps they used, back to you, building a network of none-of-their-business.
Good news: DELETE the "?si=..." part and the link works just fine without the tracking.

Everyone seems to be asking where the drones in New Jersey are coming from but no one is asking what the people in NJ are up to that requires so many drones to keep an eye on 😅
From an IT security/privacy pov, this seems like the visible contradiction of "I don't have anything to hide". Well, what if the surveillance isn't quite so secret?
