Happy to see it’s not just one Minneapolis that is standing up against nazism.

I would recommend exporting your settings just in case. I was using an instance that kind of vanished for a week and then returned, but with my user account completely gone 😱

It’s nice that you can just import your settings from a file on your own hard drive and continue from basically where you left.

In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)

(And Lemmy is good. It’s just, PieFed is so much better!)

Basically the context is this: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

PieFed has more features and can do everything Lemmy can. There are many things you can do in Reddit but not on Lemmy, but most of those are possible on PieFed.

A user migrating to PieFed is more likely to stay than a user migrating to Lemmy, because they won’t have a feeling that there are familiar features lacking. You don’t have flairs, multireddits (a.k.a. feeds), polls, events, personal notes on users, or notifications on new posts/comments on Lemmy, but on PieFed you do.

PieFed is a different software. Lemmy is written in Rust and has a certain set of features.

PieFed is a newer project, written from scratch in Python, by completely different people. It includes Lemmy’s features and shows the same posts as Lemmy, but has additional features such as polls, events, feeds (which are the same thing as multireddits on Reddit), emoji reactions, flairs, notifications for new comments coming for some specific post or new posts coming in some specific community, messaging with Mastodon users, and some other stuff that fails to come to my mind right now :)

There are several PieFed instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

Ah, and they didn’t expect the non-UK income and the UK income to count towards the same threshold?

At least in Finland the 0% tax bracket ends at something like 1300 € per month, and I doubt they were getting that little per person for touring internationally.

There have been Finnish politicians joining Mastodon in in the last few weeks.

Yeah, I’m aware of this.

Didn’t Spotify just move to a system where they will pay anything at all only to 12% of their artists?

Isn’t the point of a label to organize getting money to you from people listening to your music?

So, they somehow forgot that income tax exists?

How can the existence of income tax come as a surprise?

What are those “withholding taxes”? Is it something most of which they will get back in a year or two?

And of course: Why does Sony organize tours this way? Make them employees of a EU-based company and pay them through that. Should remove most of complications.

Does that still mean that the concept of “time” is not defined in a useful (human-understandable) manner in a black hole?

What does “highway” mean in the context of this place? Are there other doors out of the building? What is the building?

What is there on the highway? Is that where the buses stop and this is some kind of a shelter? Or is it assumed that people will fetch their friends from the building by stopping at the side of what is called highway here?

Doesn’t a black hole stretch time in a really weird manner? That would mean that no sensible answer can be given to the question. It could easily be that it takes either one billionth of a second or a trillion years, depending on where you are standing when observing the occurrence.

So, you’d promise that whoever brings you a sum of money, gets a lump of uranium? The more money brought, the bigger the lump? That would be kind of cool!

the underlying OS has improved in a few areas

Which ones are those?

I can’t make head or tails of who would be fighting whom in that war.

If a WW was to break tomorrow, it would probably be because of Trump making true his threats to attack NATO in order gain definite control over Greenland?

Probably USA would be its own side without allies?
Then there would probably be NATO as one side, most likely with Australia and Japan on the same team as NATO. And, I’d say, probably all of Southern and Central America.
And the Russia and Iran with China? Pakistan would probably be on their side, so India would seek something else. More likely NATO than USA?

But then again, WWIII would be such a big deal that it feels weird imagining it might end up a three-sided war. The loosest piece on this board is USA… If it allies with one of the sides, will that side be that of NATO or that of the Russia?

Hm. Well, if it allies with China and the Russia, it gets super difficult for NATO to keep shit together. Then again, the Canadian border is not all that far away from DC, and Latvia is not far away from Moscow. We’d probably also have Ukraine on our side, and they can teach a lot about modern warfare!

All in all: If USA manages to ally with someone, that side is likely to win. If it remains alone, it will probably lose. I would say that in a situation where USA doesn’t ally with anyone, NATO would be the side losing the least.

But, in the end nobody wins in a war.

What a well-written article. Many thanks for linking it!

They are having a conversation in the Fediverse.

Nuff said?
