Which instances federate with threads? Is there a list?

ELI5: why is BRICS suddenly a thing and what is it?

I’ve always known BRIC to mean four countries, which may or may not have similar interests. Ok, add South Africa, that makes it 5 countries.

Until recently, I did not think of BRICS as a bloc or an organisation. What are they? What does it mean if a country seeks to join?

Don’t think that’s ever been a problem anywhere close to Paris climate. It’s not that humid and it’s not that hot. The difference between inside and outside climate is not that extreme.

And if humidity is a problem, you are dealing with mold, not actual wet floors. That is if the buildings are not well engineered and it would show in the long run, not during the gamee.

I wrote it in German and I’ll repeat it here. The headlines are misleading.

The youth did not turn to the (extreme) right.

There was a shift to the (moderate and extreme) right bloc across all ages. This is within the typical range for Germany. (Throughout history, the left did not win many elections.)

And there was a shift inside the right bloc to the extreme. This is somewhat unusual, but again, it happened throughout all ages. It’s not young people.

In fact, the youngest voter group gave fewer votes to the right than any other group. (However, they also did not vote for greens as much as five years ago.)

The Nazi parties only win if we let them steal the media narrative.

So what is needed to a reply?

If I follow the replies’ author, I will get it. Right?

If someone in my instance follows the author, will I also see it?

If someone boosts the reply?

While in the EU or California, what ever works better…

Can you clarify this? As a normal user with one of the standard, who is on one random instance and follows people on other instances, we are missing Likes and Boost? I can live this, it’s just a number. But, are we also missing replies? I don’t expect OP to retoot all replies, but I do want to read them? At least i want the option the read them.

I can’t tell if senior management actually believes that this sort of corporate cringe is inspiring, or if they do it purposely to crush your soul and make you into a servile automaton.

Why not both?

This was expected. When solar panels were expensive, you had to optimize for output. When you get the same rate for any kWh, you optimize for output. Now that PV is cheap as fuck, of course, there’s going to overproduction.

Now the dynamic will change. Instead of facing south, it becomes attractive to orient east/west. This generates more output on mornings or evenings. As a next step, you add batteries to the mix. Yes, they said they were expensive, need rare materials, and yadda yadda; except with lower prices every month, solar batteries are thing now.

Also “overproduction” is relative. Most of our heating and transport is fossil. There’s a long way to go.

While they are at it, can we get Prism for Linux?

So we replace two players with one (ARM)?

Or just git depending on the use case.

You guys get to retire?

Nothing in live week ever be 100% guaranteed to work forever. You’ll be fine, mostly.

1. Yes, Live Linux system and regular install are practically identical. It’s the same software. Everything should work. There’s reason to assume Wifi will suddenly break. (Actually, Live systems differ a lot from a traditional install, but you can assume that what worked on the live system will work later. It is the same software after all. Same kernel including all drivers.)

2. Keep this USB you have just booted from. This is the tool to recover if things should go south.

3. You can keep Windows, usually, when installing Linux. The process requires “shrinking the Windows partition” and a boot loader that can handle both. Pretty standard; the installer should guide you.

4. You can totally use a phone to google how to fix your Linux.

Have fun with Linux Mint. It’s the Just works Linux.

Web apps

Just send them a GDPR deletion request by mail and they will regret not having an online flow (that’s free, obviously). Do they operate in EU? No court will allow this fee and i doubt they risk a trial over 20 bucks.

Thinking about it: This can also be manipulated by an enemy on the ground…

unless it has some inertial navigating system or something.

Don’t all commercial planes have this?
