Dropped Reddit a month ago after 12 years of daily use and while it was tough in the initial days Lemmy/Kbin activity has really picked up and is beginning to absolutely fill the gap. Just need the apps and a bit more stability and think it's going to be a proper successor.
They want to secure the whole first island chain. That would basically mean China has complete control of South Pacific sea trade and creates a huge amount of military security to the mainland. If China wants to fully control its region and block the US or Japan, they have to take Taiwan. I would prefer they don't, but I see the strategic purpose of they they might try.
Hello from Kbin. It's nice that we can hang out.
I'd prefer not to leave Apple with pretty much no competition in mobile OS if Android were to fail, unless we're just referring to Google the search engine, and not the parent company Alphabet.
France is becoming the Florida of Europe.
Didn't know this community had been made. What up from Salem HQ town!
It's largely a problem of government that is exacerbated by the influence of the businesses themselves. It's the governments job to enact policy change that force business to address these issues and develop more sustainable production process and product offerings, but since the government has essentially been bought out by those same businesses, nothing happens at all.
We can't decouple business from government without policy changes that would place limitations on such influence, and we cannot enact those policies because of the influence from businesses. I don't see a solution unless people wise up and elect a lot of people in the same election cycle not beholden to these groups, but I don't know how that can be accomplished.
The letter accused Meta of misappropriating Twitter's trade secrets and said Meta hired former Twitter employees who retained proprietary information, the sources said.
HAHAHAHAHA
The difference was Reddit had already built up a reasonably comparable audience when Digg imploded so the migration was easy. If you look at a similar graph of Reddit today and Lemmy/Kbin, you probably wouldn't even see these tools register with the active user base of Reddit so high. I think "rhyme" of history is that another service will eventually win, and it might be ours, but it's more akin to the fall of the British Empire than an overnight event.
This from the Westover AFB show recently? I caught very nearly the same photo. It was such a good show, and the Lightning is so impressive to see live.
