People want the Fediverse to grow because we can see how much damage corporate walled gardens have done to our society, and we care about others who are still trapped in a cycle of corporate abuse. We dream of a better world and see the massive potential benefits a decentralized global communications protocol hold for humanities future.

Ah yes it's ok to violate my rights, as long as a judge approves it.

There's a lot of technical answers being proposed but you really need to keep in mind your target audience. Do they actually care how it works at all, or are they less technically minded.

Take the email comparison, it makes an excellent example for people who know how email works but most people don't know so it's not helpful as a comparison to them.

For the layman it's probably best to stick to a simple description, such as: The Fediverse is community organized social media, it works the same as Reddit/Twitter but it's not owned by any company. There are a few extra steps when you first sign up, but it's well worth it for the extra control you get.

We have age minimums because the mind has not finished developing and we should also have age maximums based on the average age cognitive decline sets in.

Until we are able to properly identify outliers it's probably best to stick with the subset of the population with the highest probability of meeting the minimum qualifications for the position.

You must have missed the part of my post where I give credit to Shotwell, but just so it's crystal clear I think Elon is a loser who has stolen his success from the intelligent people who work for him.

Now if you would be so kind as to answer my original question, since I am genuinely curious.

This is my go to for things that I can easily move around. It works well and minimizes use of chemical cleaning agents.

I think most lemmy devs are focused on preparing for the expected surge of new users on July 1st. I suspect after that they will have more time to turn there attention to issues like this.

Do you mind providing additional info on previous reusable rockets. I'm not able to find any successfully reused rockets prior to the Falcon 9.

Edit: The space shuttle doesn't count as a reusable rocket.

Edit 2: Humanity as only achieved partial reusability so far. SpaceX will likey be the first to achieve full reusability with their Starship. Of course credit for this should not go to Elon but to Gwynne Shotwell and the rest of the SpaceX team.

Most people don't want to be pirates they just don't want to pay for an inferior service. You want people to pay then make a product worth paying for that's prorated by country, and they gladly will.

As an example of just how bad it is, pirate streaming sites have sort by date, country, IMDb score, genre, etc. but most paid services don't have any sort feature beyond genre. This effectively makes paid services unusable for a lot of people.

The "stick head in sand" method has become extremely popular and it is a serious problem.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of monetary systems and methods of governance. You do not need to print money to provide those services, tax revenue is more then enough to cover all critical infrastructure and support systems.

"There is also no downside to it, if you keep it under control."

It is never kept under control, name one nation where money printing hasn't run rampant due to corruption.

I doubt I'll convince you here but i'd encourage to to take a deeper look at why you believe this. As you do keep in mind that many foundational aspects of mainstream economic theory have been proven wrong by other scientific disciplines such as psychology.

So far I've found it too be great. Currently using Wallet of Satoshi, which was super easy to set up. Payments are pretty much instant and haven't had any problems at all.

For now I'm just using it to throw people some sats on nostr for good content, but I'm sure my usage will grow as adoption continues.

Thanks! I've noticed that as well, there seems to be some compatibility issues at the moment due to the different versions on the instances.

Would love to have you here, maybe with the two of us it'll start to feel a little more lively.

It still works for me, It's a PDF though so maybe something with your browser settings.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this very specialized knowledge which would have been very time consuming for me to research myself.
