Same, I just wanted to get out of the US market. It’s not even about how the stocks perform or about making money. Even if a good opportunity to buy presents itself in the future I will never buy US stocks as long as they are sinking deeper into fascism.
A common threat like climate change has not been very effective sadly.
3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.
If you plan to use it, you should know that there was a separate “good news”-event at that point in time. It would not surprise me if insider trading happened, but that spike could also be from the bond auction. As much as I want the US to lose their influence in the world, it’s important to not jump to conclusions for political reasons. The spike should be investigated properly, but at this point the US might be too corrupt for that to happen or have consequences.
Something similar happened in Sweden, the politicians said that the EU is forcing Sweden to store data about users. Like, “we don’t want this… but we have no choice!” And then it turned out that what they did was actually against EU laws and Sweden was fined for doing what they did and ordered to stop.
I see! Thank you, that’s hopeful then. Is it designed to be very local area, or is that just the way it is now? Could it one day be used in a more general way beyond chat?
I started reading about Meshtastic yesterday, and got an urge to set up a node even if (according to some maps) no one is near me. But then I started wondering, if I could reach another node, what could I do with that connection? What is it used for? Is it more about technically being able to send messages without an ISP. Do people use this for any real application?
I couldn’t connect either on my phone, but after updating my browser it works.
It didn’t happen in one big exodus, no. But maybe in the future someone will find those old posts and decide to make a new post instead of just concluding there’s nothing and not doing anything.
There might be a significant number of users here waiting for everyone else to switch over to lemmy. If you start a niche community, it’s a little easier for someone else to be like “It’s kind of empty, but it exists on lemmy too.” What you need is a critical mass of people. It usually takes time and effort to reach that, and someone must be first.
If ads are pushed into ed(1), then it truly is everything. But, as long as Theo is the leader of OpenBSD, we will always have a free operating system.
That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?
