Pretty weird to do this out of the blue. Feels like she’s trying to frontfoot something big that’s about to come out.

No I’m just saying you might as well give up on that dream - the regime will have more support than ever, now.

help the Iranians overthrow the despots

The time to do that was before bombing hundreds of Iranian children. And civilian infrastructure. Way too late now.

Lol

I am very surprised that Australia and New Zealand did not wean themselves off fossil fuels decades ago, given they are developed countries with wealth and skills and democracy.

After everything that has happened, Iran cannot trust any deals.

Iran will not reopen the strait until the whole world knows that attacking Iran is not worth it. They need to inflict enough pain so that decades from now future US presidents remember what happened.

We are a long way from that.

A bit more background https://theconversation.com/understanding-the-violence-against-alawites-and-druze-in-syria-after-assad-255292

It’d stop them launching ships to lay mines, or launching midget submarines and naval drones, which is a start. It might keep the Iranians too busy fighting on land to aim at ships. It’d basically be an open wound for USA though - completely unsustainable.

Then there’s the fantasy of naval escorts for tankers. Each tanker would require a couple of ships to shadow them (anti-air, anti-sub, anti-drone) for the entire length of the gulf (not just the strait) and in normal times 120 tankers pass through there every day. You’d need a fleet ~400 ships strong, running 24/7 (no repairs or rest). And it only takes one hit from an anti-ship missile and hundreds of sailors die. So that ain’t happening.

It’s a trap.jpg

To do that they’d need to occupy 1000+ kms of extremely rugged coast. That’s quite a commitment…

Would you agree that a post written by a LLM is “low effort”?

Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it’s complex software.

Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.

Then host a Wordpress site.

Then host a fediverse thing.

Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.

This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.

Only if you use GPL, not MIT.

I have this printed out and stuck to the fridge

The PieFed web UI has a daily limit you can set, btw. Doesn’t work with apps but you can uninstall all the apps and use PieFed as a pwa which is very app-y.

I guess if it were effective then Google wouldn’t provide it.

There is an app called App Block which is a bit more hard to get around.

Perhaps the key is finding things to do that are better. Volunteer work, study, get a dog, etc

In the settings, isn’t there a “digital wellbeing and parental controls” area? I’m pretty sure that’s a stock Android thing.

[email protected], that one. Yep.

There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can’t remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.

e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md

There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they’re talking about, stalk each other’s codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.
