Improving health coverage is theoretically possible, and later on they may get better, but the only things that will improve are a few blue states and even then it’s just small changes.

So dreams of large non violent change are as futile as the murderous rage. Best one can do is make more money or move to a better area or immigrate.

I’m thinking that, a lot of users were hanging out with relatives and traveling.

My gut reaction about lack of content in peer tube is because the platform is ethical. It’s my understanding that popular video platforms started by pirating content, marketing campaigns and other shady things . This obviously is a not a good thing here.

This creates a cascading effect where only people who are more ethical ( rather than less ethical) post videos there. And only ethical ( more or less) people watch the videos there for more or less political reasons ( not national politics but belief how things should happen)

There are probably ways for them to jumpstart content there , but are dismissed, never to be used because it’s against the spirit of the idea. Hopefully someone can solve this by doing something that fits into the vision !

It always amazed me that Reddit stopped adding new stuff to make it easier ; instead the only changes in years was all the stuff making commotions and scandals.

It’s like they purposefully exist in a frozen tech made years ago and innovation is not something helpful to their business model.

The enshitification and out of touch culture came from a deeply entrenched mindset in the Reddit offices years ago

I have a conspiracy theory that most users who are an expert don’t post much about that.

For example I am an expert on two things most people find obscure; and for all my comments I just avoid talking about them. It’s too hard to wrap up an idea without lots of background information, there are no short posts or comments I can make about it.

Almost all the highly upvoted stuff are short. Were I to try to make an expert post it would be totally ignored. So why bother for me when I can snarky about things I know nothing about ? More fun !

I think experts who write short terse pithy comments that hit the mark, at a timely fashion, are rarer than hens teeth

As a dev who is in the middle of making a project myself, this is nightmarish for me to read.

Yes, I know this is not the topic, or how you meant it, but it profoundly affected me in my own way.

Like absolutely blows my mind. It reminds me that any solo projects I do are probably doomed to fail later due to them not being useful at all, or unknown. Or if they are used, then I will get overwhelmed probably, and quit. The only things that seem safe is a teamwork collaboration… and I suck at that.

Right, I am off to learn a new trade, carpentry… perhaps

The genocide has such wide support in the USA community and defense companies ( irregardless of the louder minority of people protesting it)

That if there were justice, then many other people and organizations would have similar treatment and be kicked

We can’t get away from politics, or limits, but if I will point out the hypocrisy

I think I don’t have enough details to agree with you.

Lots of variables, some with make the school look good, and/or the kid.

The student might be an angel who used a small bit of gpt, after saving puppies all night ; or a hellion someone finally had enough of, after repeated issues.

The parents may be bad, absolute stereotypes. Or perhaps there is a deeper story here about why they are willing to publicly humiliate themselves ; which most lawyers and/or common sense would have told them ahead of time.

Nobody here knows that much

It’s designed to be anti-infuencer

When my own feed, free of the algorithm, did not have content of interest. Because I or others took turns shouting into the void. Then I would go on the explore /front page where there was definitely an algorithm of influencers, many who had follower counts of thousands, talking about the same stuff. Many seemed to be upper middle class Americans .

I soon hated them, but many were broadcast to other instances’ front page too. Between them and lack of interaction from people I wanted to hear from, I left
