what was the original reasoning for them giving him immunity in the first place.

In my view, it's a stop gap measure. The real issue is the lifetime appointments. We just had one president choose 3 justices, who all get lifetime appointments. That is beyond insane, and if packing the courts right now will help alleviate that imbalance I think it should be advocated for. Of course in the long term we will want term limits, or maybe some sort of rotation system, but for now I think that's the most politically effective way forward.
With all the controversy around the game, I pretty much ignored anything to do with it at launch. Since the game is on sale right now I wanted to know, is it actually any good? If it is I'd like to play it.

I'm conflicted because it doesn't have a headphone jack
My room feels cluttered all the time, and I'm wondering what would be a good way to try and make some space. I don't consider myself a particularly messy person, it's mostly just an assortment of random items on my dressers, cables, etc that I just can't seem to find the right spots for.

This is not a good comparison. Our bodies are not engineered by anyone, but our software is.
Corporations don't just sit out on new technologies, and no matter how hard you try you can't force them to. Defederating from Meta's new project preemptively is naive, and will not do much of anything. Protocols are going to be adopted by corporations, whether we like it or not. SMTP, LDAP, HTTP, IP and 802.11 are all examples of that. If it ends up that meta is able to destroy the fediverse simply by joining it, that is a design flaw on OUR end. Something would then clearly need to be different in order to prevent future abuse of the protocol. FOSS is propped up by corporations. By *for profit corporations*. If you want to stop those corporations from killing projects, you put safety guards up to make sure that doesn't happen. You don't just shut them out and put your head in the sand.

Copyright should not exist. However, under our current economic system, capitalism, it should exist for a short period of time. Probably about 5-10 years.

I honestly don't know if I believe any of this. It could be one big distraction, and I think the people in high positions of power are skeptical as well.

Agreed, we need to structurally reconfigure how we live our lives to fix this problem. Trying to get everyone to become "health concious" isn't gonna cut it, which is what they've been trying to do for years.

It's not a cycle path, it's a multi-use path. So anyone can use it, including cyclists. The difference here is that these paths look like sidewalks, and run along major streets/highways.
Think "big sidewalk" that you can cycle on.

Yeah, I wish the trails got built out more as well. I feel like it's a lack of promotion and large gaps between trails that make people not want to use them. Thankfully here they haven't banned e-bikes from trails (yet).

Yeah man, I wish they'd just put up a big street sign or something that said "this is a trail!"
Instead of building bikelanes my county has opted for trails, which honestly is not a bad option. Or at the very least, better than nothing. The way they did it was just by turning a lot of the sidewalks into multi use paths, so it makes a lot of sense I didn't notice that I could use them. There's quite a few of them, and it definitely makes me feel safer that I can just ride on the "sidewalk" on a lot of the busy streets. I kind of wish they would advertise this shit more because I literally had no idea, it's like it's hiding in plain site on their website.

I mean I guess? Aside from the calling it's fine imo. UI was also easier for me to use

I never understood why everyone moved to discord. Regardless of this, it actually just sucks and is hard to use. Discord really gives me hope that the fediverse will succeed, just because the UI sucks so fucking much.

If ActivityPub can't survive a Facebook venture, then it was never going to succeed in the first place.

Honestly, a lot of people might disagree but, corporate involvement is essential to FOSS projects surviving. The biggest FOSS project on the planet, Linux, is literally propped up by the biggest corporations on the planet.
The only potential issue I see here is maybe Meta forks ActivityPub and it becomes a "Meta Project" or some other fuckery. Outside of that I don't see any major issues with it. If we want ActivityPub to become something greater, we're going to need corporations on board. We have strong protections in place right now with a lot of the stuff that's being used being under strong copyleft licenses, and decentralization by nature is going to allow us to opt out of a lot of the ads and tracking that takes place by being forced to use an official app.
Trying to prepare for the day where I'm out and I get caught in the rain.
Where I live there are almost no bike lanes, not even the shitty painted ones. How dangerous is it to get on the road with all of the other cars?
I just got my new (used) bike, and I'm also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I'm traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you're cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?
Benzene is among the pollutants gas stoves emit into homes, Stanford University researchers show. The toxin is linked to a higher risk of leukemia and other blood cell cancers.
I haven't gotten my bike yet, but I've sat through traffic a couple times over the course of this week and I've been thinking. Once I do get on the road with my bike, should I try to move around cars in heavy traffic? I've seen people conflicted on whether to do this or not, and it is kind of illegal except in like California lol.
People discredit every type of protest, IRL or not. I think back to every major protest that's happened in response to some major event, and the response every time is "That won't ever work", "You're wasting your time", "Imagine caring about that". This isn't the death of Reddit, not even close to it. Reddit may even get more popular after this. However, that doesn't mean all of this was pointless. The Fediverse continues to grow, and that's genuinely a good thing. Every time a platform fucks up, people give X ActivityPub app a new set of eyes and continue to help developers strengthen these platforms and build up the community. A lot of times the things we want don't happen in 1 big moment, it's a lot of continuous smaller moments that eventually form into something greater. It's going to take a lot of effort to build out a new platform, especially one built off the concept of decentralization. I think we should continue to build our communities here, and do our best to help this platform thrive.
What off site backup solutions do you guys use? I'm finally getting my backups going after, in extremely dumb fashion, not having any backups outside of some zfs snapshots. Thanks in advance.
I live really near a downtown area and it's feasible to bike there. Problem is, there are no bike lanes. While I can 100% just ride on the road, a bike line would help a lot and most likely encourage others to ride on the road too. How would I go about getting a bike lane? Even just a shitty painted lane.
I fucking love pizza. It's my favorite food.
I'd like to get more into biking since the area that I live in is semi walkable. Where should I start and what should I look out for?
