Another, unrelated, example of the shift in thinking in the Dutch government is about an unanimously adopted motion in the House of Representatives. Last week saw a major storm, and the fire department send out an emergency text warning to people, urging them to check Twitter for the latest updates. However, this coincided with Twitter preventing people who do not have accounts from viewing tweets, resulting in people not being able to see emergency service updates

Big fan of letsencrypt’s certbot with the nginx and cloudflare (or other dns providers) plugins.
Is there any reason to use caddy or traefik over nginx?

Torrents can be encrypted as well, and there isn't a need for a VPN unless you use public trackers, which I don't recommend.
What is the monthly fee for Usenet? I'm more in favor of decentralized systems with the use of seedboxes to speed up distribution, but I'm not against usenet either.

I run my own instance and the one thing I will say is that I don't see as much content browsing all on my own instance versus all on lemmy.world. Not sure why that is.

The download speed on any popular release will max out even the fastest connections. I assume the retention for less popular content is a lot better on trackers, but I don't have enough experience with usenet to say that for sure.

The WiFi thing was rough, no doubt. He was clearly talking about cell phones, not that it matters.
What about Cornel West?

What about Cornel West?
In regards to RFK, remove the anti-vax piece from your comment and it would be true for pretty much every presidential candidate ever. Dismissing him without a substantive rebuttal isn't doing anything besides getting a pat on the back from those that already agree.

What about Cornel West?
RFK is a conservative
More than Biden? The same Biden that passed the crime bill. The one who quashed a labor strike by the rail workers as president? Seems progressive.

I don't understand the big push to defederate from other instances when individual users can block instances as they please.

I find that most "democrats" bury their heads in the sand and ignore the obvious corruption of both parties. The US federal government is captured by corporations.
I would highly recommend considering candidates such as RFK Jr. or Cornel West over Biden and the rest of the corporate democrats.
Edit: Wow, this was not well received lol. Not that surprising. Kind of interesting that everyone focused on RFK and not Cornel West though. West is a true progressive with a long career focused on social justice. He would be great for this country. Link to West's campaign page.

Well I would recommend it since it works, hence the name, shitjustworks lol.
In all seriousness, you can't start a new platform and simultaneously expect to exclude large segments of potential users. Shitjustworks seems to toe the line better than other instances. They ban spam/bots while still allowing most content.
Generally, I recommend avoiding the top two instances if you are considering creating an account, and I would recommend avoiding beehaw for other reasons. So that leaves you at shitjustworks.

Please tell me what I can get on usenet that isn't on PTP, BTN, or RED.
I would bet that 99/100 releases are uploaded to private trackers before usenet.

Of the top five, sh.itjust.works seems to be the best. Definitely the instance that I would recommend to new users.

To be fair, r/all would always have tons of NSFW posts before reddit started filtering them from the front page ~2 years ago.

How does a nonprofit offer stocks?
Short answer, they are for profit now. It is complicated, but they are able to raise equity and sell shares.
- The OpenAI Nonprofit would remain intact, with its board continuing as the overall governing body for all OpenAI activities.
- A new for-profit subsidiary would be formed, capable of issuing equity to raise capital and hire world class talent, but still at the direction of the Nonprofit. Employees working on for-profit initiatives were transitioned over to the new subsidiary.
- The for-profit would be legally bound to pursue the Nonprofit’s mission, and carry out that mission by engaging in research, development, commercialization and other core operations. Throughout, OpenAI’s guiding principles of safety and broad benefit would be central to its approach.
- The for-profit’s equity structure would have caps that limit the maximum financial returns to investors and employees to incentivize them to research, develop, and deploy AGI in a way that balances commerciality with safety and sustainability, rather than focusing on pure profit-maximization.
- The Nonprofit would govern and oversee all such activities through its board in addition to its own operations. It would also continue to undertake a wide range of charitable initiatives, such as sponsoring a comprehensive basic income study, supporting economic impact research, and experimenting with education-centered programs like OpenAI Scholars. Over the years, the Nonprofit also supported a number of other public charities focused on technology, economic impact and justice, including the Stanford University Artificial Intelligence Index Fund, Black Girls Code, and the ACLU Foundation.
