Not a single rebuttal! (That I could find). What’s the point of spouting denial of extremely well established science, if you’re not even gonna defend it.

We shall wait on you with baited breath for your vigorous research backing up the claim that the rate at which the climate is changing is normal, and not going to be catastrophic like all (practically) the world’s climate scientists keep finding, again, and again and again. Climate science is about to be revolutionised with your insights, no doubt.

REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

Damn, I feel blessed then. Australia’s a pretty high cost of living, but our trains (+ the other modes of public transport) are like half that price in Melbourne Australia, and you can travel as much as you like. All day. Almost anywhere in the state where trains, busses and trams go.

(Or at leat most routes)

We are still very car centric though, by international standards.

$20 a ticket??

Yikes.

What city?

Last I checked you can only thread a conversation one level down from the channel and that’s it (when I last used it like 5 years ago).

To me that’s practically unusable for what it’s supposed to be. Slack even does a better job, in my opinion.

Sure, but I’m still feeling like complaining that there isn’t a business that’s made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

I’m not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn’t working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

The business model just doesn’t make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it’s just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I’m gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”

I’d happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

Like, that is way too much.

I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

AI can’t imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can’t think, just massage it’s dataset into something vaguely plausible.

This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.

Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company

It’s very common, but in Australia at least, not ubiquitous.

And obviously businesses mostly do not

Me too, the second one shows up, or PixelFed gets e2ee implemented, I would seriously start asking people to join.

Until then, what’s the point? (Unless you want to share publically)

Thank you for voicing this opinion. The fact so much of the fediverse is just public just makes it impossible to sell for real identity social media.

Really curious why the community in the fediverse hardly talks about it.

I’m really holding out hope for someone to pickup Futo Circles or something else that’s an e2ee replacement for Facebook / Instagram.

Yeah, it’s all publically available content. Anyone can scrape it if they’re determined enough.

It’s why I’m wondering why there isn’t a stronger desire within the fediverse to have some of it end-to-end encrypted. PixelFed is useless to me, because I’d only want to share photos with people I’ve added.

So far, I have not yet found a suitable non-abandoned project.

Futo Circles, please revive 🥲

Oh indeed, don’t disagree there, we are as in most respects, at the mercy of our corporate overlords

They don’t control the domain registrar’s at least. Yet. (Or at least not de jure)

Not public posts, rather posts to anyone who you have added. Similar to Facebook

I’m happy with Lemmy and Mastodon as is as it’s a different purpose.

I’m gonna investigate hubzilla further, cheers friend!
