I might be living on top of a tunnel for all I know now.
Galton introduced fingerprinting in South Africa as an experiment after Indians introduced it to him. Managing miners using fingerprints was one of those moments capitalism and colonialism converged on science and technology and shaped the global sector we now call identification.

Agree with you.
One thing I have always found precious for my 10+ yrs on forums like reddit and 3+ yrs on fediverse is how high quality conversations are by people who usually don’t obsess about numbers and publicity in likes and upvotes etc.
Genuine communities here on the fediverse will evolve at their own pace.
But who, exactly, is supposed to create this “niche content” for them? I think this is something we underestimate—large swaths of people see themselves as consumers of quality content. It is not for them to bring in comments or interesting finds to the communities. This I think is what makes the internet ripe for centralization. You can’t be a non-paying consumer and choose your menu. You can pay with your behavior datapoints and get fads packaged to you, or you can help create an ecosystem where you don’t have to be spied on every click and tap of the day. Choose your path and make peace with it. The worst would be to help create content for a community and be spied while at it.
Neat!
If you can, please keep supporting the devs with some resources.
For fonts, not really picky, like Roboto works well with web renders. But my point is that there should be font size options like small/large etc. I find it working well on Memmy app.
7-8 posts on iPhone XR (my testing phone, I don’t have the 13).
Sleek! Feels focused on the actual content so, that’s a good one in my books. Font alternatives/options might help for more content on the screen (compact feels easier to handle for me as there is less scrolling).
Happy coding!

Off-topic, your hair looks like it’s charged by your touching the coffee cup.
Indeed. Perfectly described.

Who actually built it? Who, in the US, built it? You’ll be surprised at how much of a distraction “states” are in understanding International action. The same people who set up Israel set up the post-WWII institutions. They have been the greatest beneficiaries of that order and don’t care about nations or states or those categories. What matters is they benefit from as much of human labour as possible.
