“People pressed into slavery to deliver takeaway” is the kind of dystopian that fiction can only aspire to. Christ.
Unfortunately no, but they really should.
This seems like some good fun. I’d like to propose Viscera - Carcinogenesis.
AI will also process and condense reports from hundreds of public consultations held by ministers. The drafts will be verified by staff to check sources and catch inaccuracies.
Ah, so it’s not going to actually alleviate any work for civil servants. Instead they have to sift through and correct a bunch of AI hallucinations, on top of their normal duties. Marvellous.
I use Tilix, mostly because I’m used to it. I should probably upgrade to the plethora of new GTK4 terminal emulators, but I just can’t be bothered. Plus none of them support tiling.
The entire album is a masterpiece, I’ve listened to something off it everyday since it came out on the 2nd.
True. That would be true of any platform which allows tips, you’d have to connect to some source of money whether it be paypal or crypto. Paypal’s fees would be prohibitively expensive but it would be theoretically doable. Either way, it’s a <5 minute setup process if they care to do it.
But people already have Paypal and understand how to use it. Most people don’t understand cryptocurrency, and don’t want anything to do with it because of its association with scams.
Interesting I didn’t know AP supported E2E. I guess it’s Mastodon that doesn’t support that element of the AP protocol then?
Here’s the issue.
Also, I looked in to Nostr a bit for this and do you seriously think profile links like this will catch on with people?

Say what you want about AP, but usernames like <(at) makeasnek (at) lemmy.ml> are at least memorable. How am I suppose to tell someone IRL about my Nostr profile, say of a 64 bit string out loud?
This assumes platforms win based on technical details, which they don’t. Mastodon will probably ‘win’ (whatever that means) because of network effects and general culture.
Nostr has an optional built-in tipping functionality where you can leave tips for users whose content you like. You can tip a fraction of a penny or $100. And users can tip you. This has a few effects. For one, it incentivizes people to use nostr. Non-profit orgs, for example, can use it to fundraise.
But user have to be technically minded enough, and willing, to set up a crypto wallet to do this.
In mastodon, admins can read your DMs. If you DM somebody on another instance, that’s two instances that can read your DMs, and so can anybody who breaks into their server. In nostr, all DMs are encrypted by default and can only be read by the intended recipient.
E2E encryption is possible with AP. Besides, if what you’re talking about needs to be unreadable to third parties, you should probably use something like Matrix or Signal, especially considering how bad Mastodon’s DMs actually are.
Their press release does talk about SMRs:
The Civil Nuclear Roadmap will give industry certainty of the future direction of the UK’s ambitious nuclear programme, on top of the government’s historic commitment to Sizewell C and world-leading competition to develop small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
[…]
Following its launch last year, Great British Nuclear (GBN) will drive the UK’s nuclear ambitions forward, including through the game-changing SMR competition which will soon invite short-listed companies to tender.
Unlike conventional nuclear reactors that are built on site, SMRs are smaller, can be made in factories, and could transform how power stations are built by making construction faster and less expensive. Alongside large gigawatt power stations, SMRs will play a key role in delivering on the expansion of UK nuclear capacity.
This graph really shows how the focus on boomers by millennials and my fellow zoomers is really just a distraction from the real issues of class and wealth inequality.
