One thing I did recently was search mastodon for some "normal" topics like fashion and yoga, but I didn't find much.

The nice thing about Mastodon and ActivityPub is that they're designed for the long run, and don't need profits to be successful. So they can have slow growth year over year and still survive and slowly build up a user base that gradually adds more and more topics to attract more people.

They have a pattern of trying something and seeing how far they can get. Then they'll say it was an oversight or a joke.

Someone recently called it similar to "reconnaissance in force" by the military -- you go out with an uncommitted force and learn from the kind of resistance you get so you can be more effective.

The point is "mistakes" like these are not benign, or at least should not be treated as benign, since we can't ever really know for sure.

IDK about it court, but they definitely say it on forensic TV shows

I hate these other replies that have already given up. Not helpful.

What is it like, reading Lemmy on Mastodon? Is it like one post with many replies? Or do they nest like in Lemmy?

I don't quite understand -- does this feature let you resize the window again to the size you want, and you are still sharing the same fingerprint with everyone else? Or do you still have to keep the browser window the default size to minimize your unique fingerprint?

Because I trust the regulating authorities to be professionals and do due diligence on their new proposed regulations. This is why we have a government.

Someone who's more knowledgeable than me might have access to the documents behind their decision to independently verify.

Not at all the same thing. There was tons of evidence and theory that vaccines were safe, and the consequences of not using them were very high.

Some European governments are using non-American services, right?

And they also have a theoretical basis for their hypothesis. You don't have to have 100% experimental proof about something to take initial action, especially to avoid harm.

This is not the same thing, as the other comment explains.

 
 
 
 

Hmm

 

I live in an ideal part of the suburbs. I'm close to my work, school, the swimming pool, the grocery store, etc.,. In many instances, the scooter is more consistently faster than driving and finding parking.

Commute times (door to door):

       : Work   : School : Grocery : Swimming Pool            
Walk   : 40 min : 15 min : 25 min  : 15 min 
Bike   : 15-20  : 5-10   : 15 min  : 5 min 
Scooter: 10-15  : 5 min  : 10 min  : 3 min
Car    : 5-10   : 5-10   : 5-10    : 5 min

My problem is, I really need to make changes in life, like go to the swimming pool more often even in winter; get a better job which will be farther away. I think I'm putting these off because I don't want to drive.

All of these will be easier if I just embrace driving my car more. I can take groceries more easily. I can carry more swim equipment and I won't get so cold coming home from the pool. But I don't like driving because I feel like I'm a greater danger to myself and others, even though I'm a pretty careful driver.

Do any of you face similar challenges; do you just drive when it makes the most sense to drive?
