In the UK, weed is measured in authentic receding British imperial units where an ounce weighs one less gram every year.

The economy has centred on china for years. The Anglosphere elite just thought rent seeking was real economic activity and guided manufacturing is cheating. No matter how big the brand is, most western "manufacturers" have essentially been drop-shipping since the 90s. Naomi Klein wrote no logo 25 years ago FFS.

I think something like peertube would be a good solution for media, but there's obstacles to getting it deployed in terms of adoption.

The player is quite mature and does everything you could want. For servers it saves resources by being peer to peer using webRTC. For clients it handles graceful degradation and redundancy.

A way it could be implemented for other drivers servers could go like this...

I upload a video to Lemmy. My Lemmy instance forwards that video to peertube. Peertube processes the video and releases it as unlisted. Peertube sends the URL back to my Lemmy instance. Lemmy publishes my post with the peertube player iframe as a video.

The issues with this are getting app developers and instance owners to adopt the changes and getting users to understand the implications of the P2P aspect.

Same. I still have RIF on my phone hijacking Reddit links. It's a nice little interruption as if to say "can you really be arsed with Reddit?" and unless it's a discussion about an obscure technical problem or something my wife sent me, I always click the back button.

I hate that "soviet MLs" is used as a label here, because the failure of the USSR is down to the undermining of the soviets.

The economy being centralised and then destroyed is why post-USSR states are disfunctional, and it's the same vulnerability the EU faces.

Were the economies actually managed democratically, they might have been able to weather the storm instead of getting fucked over by the world bank and IMF.

Instead of cooperating to sort out their affairs post-empire, countries are expected to play monopoly and somehow magically not have the same end game as monopoly.

I don't know if this something you're deliberately trying to avoid. Apologies if you are, and I've missed the point, but

I gave up on doing anything in TK years ago. For all the effort to make stuff work in it, you might as well just use flask and have a HTML frontend. That way, you know it's going to work on everything and includes remote access as a bonus.

Edit: for a lot more power with a little bit more learning curve, look at fastapi.

It's actually quite simple.

67% of the US public want the government to call for a ceasefire.

That's it. Neither party will do it, therefore neither represents the people. Talk all you want about primaries or whatever, but the reality is that neither party represents the people on this.

It's not up for debate.

Do you think "still love the truck though" is like the Tesla owner's version of "in Minecraft" for people that don't want Elon Musk to personally/legally harass them?

We also have to thank the FBU (fire brigades union) for this. They're one of two or three prominent unions left in the UK that are still radical. Thanks to them, firefighters refuse to help police arrest protesters.

You should still always try and vote anyway. I didn't get my polling card for the council/mayoral elections this month but I was registered and allowed to vote.
