Id say it’s more nuanced. The game is theirs? Some might say they stole their work… But the game is theirs and they never contracted or even gave permission for the work to be completed? I’d say it’s unethical still since they have the resources to accomplish this on their own.

I love boost! Can’t wait!

He said very nice… What more do you want from him!?

I’m a big Boost guy myself. Pretty excited for when it is done!

Yes, I said that. Well technically I said Gab was. Truth was so forked I don’t believe there was even an option to defederate them. They intended on a walled garden on their own.

I mean, they’re there to talk to… If you like jacking each other off… I don’t.

I’d say I’m generally conservative and have been dabbling in alternative social media for a number of years. Some of the biggest Mastodon instances are/were right leaning. Gab.ai started off as a proprietary site and then migrated to Mastodon. Truth.social was always based on Mastodon. I’ve never been active on them because I don’t like echo chambers though. I’ve never really had a desire to have my thoughts reaffirmed by strangers…

I would assume they’re presence isn’t felt in the fediverse because the concept of de-federating is working? Gab is likely cut off by others and truth social never federated with others to begin with. I don’t think Truth ever intended to though, and really just wanted something they didn’t have to build from scratch.

The only Mastodon instance I actually have an account with now is somewhat right leaning but it’s not their emphasis. Even then I’m not too active on it.

They are hearty for sure and that can be seen as an urge or will to live. Animals are dumb and have a shocking lack of self preservation. Are you talking about conscious ‘I want to live, I better not do that’ or ‘I will find a way to live in my circumstances’?

I’ve raised quite a few farm animals. They don’t have an urge to live. My goodness do they take every chance to get themselves killed…

I’m actually a pretty big fan. I really like his show Guy’s Grocery Games. It just seems different compared to most cooking shows/competitions out there. Most seem scripted and rigid. While I get that grocery games has to have a script it just feels off the rails sometimes and I find it appealing. I get that Guy probably isn’t the best chef out there but just seems like a good dude who would always go out of his way to help others.

I have never seen the word elixir on a coffee shop menu… With that being said… If I did see it this would be my exact reaction!

I just don’t see it being viable for them. The math doesn’t work once you get power users as the base for using it. Then once people realize they are missing NSFW tagged content that might be a deal breaker. This was legitimately planned by Reddit to not work on purpose.

It’s freedom in the loosest sense. As in there’s more options. Would it still be freedom if a government makes choices for you? I suppose if I have the means to move to a different country it technically still is. Still distasteful. I don’t know the people that run my instance. Why should I trust them to know what’s best? We’ll see how it shakes out.

Why can’t people decide for themselves? I don’t get the appeal of someone blocking something for me? A real turn off for me on lemmy so far. I get it for now since the tools aren’t there yet but long term if it continues to be an issue I’d probably have to self host or get out.

Blocking entire instances is. Not individual communities.

These are good points but apparently it was just a community on that instance… The instance itself wasn’t the problem. You can in fact block a community as a user. People absolutely have the power to block the_Donald community on that instance on their own.

That’s really it. We don’t need millions of people. 100k or more will do. People just need to engage and create in meaningfully like you said.

Edit: 100k truly active people. Not total users.

The pressure listed on the side of the tire is max load pressure and almost assuredly too high for the application it’ll be put in. You wouldn’t put a tire on that’s already at its limits and all. The correct answer is to ask the tire shop. Chances are if they are the same load rating and amount of plys as what they are replacing it should be the same as the door sticker.

Sounds like they have a good case to sue the ever living shit out of them.

Me too!
