As a Canadian, please don't come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)

Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.

As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don't have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.

Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.

I picked up Persona 5 Royale during the sale for 30 bucks.

I was a huge fan of P4G on the PSVita.

P5R is so stylish and it does such a great job of speeding up so much of tedium by allowing fast travel to most places.

Everything feels so snappy, the soundtrack is killer, the gameplay is fun. Runs like a dream on the OLEDeck. I've been enjoying taking it slow and getting to know the characters. Just finished the first palace.

My man doesn't know the genius of Dota 2.

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.

There's a decky plugin that let's you toggle an OLED black screen with a two button shortcut.

Highly recommend.

The Moon Wars of 2055 and 2072, and the Martian invasion of 2103.

Jafar in Twisted. So so good.

Use SimpleLogin and Bitwarden for everything. I never use the same email or password anywhere and can turn off receiving emails from the source for each account.

The neat and confusing thing about nix and flakes is that you don't need to be using the OS to benefit from using nix as a home manager/ package installer.

Fleek is a good example.

I think Flatpak or AppImages would be a more appropriate distribution method, as much as I love nix and flakes.

Isn't that from Lady and the Tramp? I think they did change those characters when they made the live action one.

That would require the Republicans to have knowledge of history outside their own country.

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source.

Some advantages to Aether over Lemmy are:

It is entirely decentralized rather than federated giving it superior censorship resistance and smooth horizontal scalability. Each user on the Aether network acts as a node operator allowing other users to connect and view the communities that they subscribe to.

Moderators within each community are elected by, are impeachable by, and their decisions can be individually ignored by the users of each community. All mod actions are public information and, as mentioned, each mod action or moderator can be ignored by each user. This maximizes the accountability of the network and greatly reduces the chances of censorship.

The biggest flaw with Aether is that it is not currently maintained (to my knowledge). With such a massive migration of users to Lemmy and the Fediverse as large, I would love to see an increased interest in decentralized solutions like Aether.

Would it be technically feasible for Aether to join the fediverse through modified Lemmy instances? If so it could act as a silver bullet to enable horizontal scalability of the network at large.

I welcome any discussion on the topic.
