I wouldn’t call it the unused state, but when recycled in a proper facility, the material recovered from lithium ion batteries can be used again in future battery production. Related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xrarUWVRQ&t=270s
This new house hippo is “woke”
The original house hippo is “not woke” (It appears exempt from “woke”, because the new hippo is not just “woke” but “super woke”)
Using Bill Maher’s supplied definition, it follows that the remake is now promoting “race as the first and foremost thing people should always see everywhere” [compare the original and remake to confirm this]

Extraordinary claims being made? The source the video links to is breakthefake.ca. You can visit the source yourself and verify whether random internet comments describing the website are truthful and accurate.
I’m not a fan of votes being so public either. It almost seems to guarantee potential harassment as the platform grows. Hiding the “more” button on kbin only kicks the can down the road if this is a natural part of federating instances. The problem just comes back once a single instance makes the information available.
Without a change to the protocol, I think we’re stuck with education. Maximize the awareness from users that votes behave differently here, and are entirely public.
People have moved from reddit expecting a 1:1 copy of the features, and for the most part it delivers. The comment system has all of the friendliness of upvoting, but if you click the arrows you’re stuck committing to more of a retweet. This could really bite users who reuse their account name everywhere, and those that use their real name online.
People getting started should learn about this as soon as possible and really consider how it will affect them. Do they really want to engage with the NSFW content, or maybe a new username is in order?
It would be horrible if users were to arrive with the wrong impression, have a negative experience and regret showing up at all.
I wasn’t expecting to find a new “polished” open source game I’ve never heard of from this thread, but somehow I’ve never heard of Thrive before. It’s even got a steam release!
To share the wisdom of Weird Al Yankovic on this topic:
This cheese 'round the clock
is getting me blocked
When you place all that journalistic work in the hands of a corporation to control and manipulate … it is a real danger to democracy. Google, Meta and any other corporation should never be allowed to exercise any kind of control, manipulation or effect to any of the work that journalists produce and share
It could be said that this happened years ago in Canada. Much of what is considered under this bill as Canadian journalism is largely owned by non-Canadian entities.
For example, Postmedia, who publishes the de-facto daily newspaper for many of the larger Canadian cities, is 66% owned by one american hedge fund. The papers have a Canadian presence, but their brand and ownership are much like a modern Tim Hortons, all Canadian trappings but profits that leave the country for an international investment firm.
So, at best, even if the bill redistributes some profits from tech-bros to their umbrella of qualifying Canadian news outlets, two-thirds of any amount paid would still return to the control of stakeholders in the United States anyway.
Responding with “next steps”? So it’s, what, about two more warnings from reddit h.r. before moderators are presented with a Performance Improvement Plan?
Even if the fine were to reach half of what he spent on Twitter, he would have to pay them $687,000/day for longer than the average life expectancy in the healthiest country on earth (87 years). A billion is such an absurd number.
Ok, I’ve looked at the source provided and don’t see an e-mail field either. The account e-mail is also limited to your own instance, correct? This thread was making me mildly concerned that e-mails were being shared when federating between instances.
Edit: Been corrected, the following is NOT how it works! Original Text follows
Someone correct me if I’m getting details wrong, but from reading this post it appears as if fediverse admins are provided both the username and email accounts registered by those users that have visited their instances.
If that’s true, one problematic scenario I can imagine is when someone has registered on the fediverse with a pseudonym, but has an e-mail address they also use on their real-life Facebook profile. Visiting a Facebook-run ActivityPub instance while logged in would give Facebook enough data to link both the pseudonymous account (with past and future post history), and the real-life Facebook profile.
So, even if you’re not signed up for Facebook’s version of ActivityPub, engaging with it could still be giving Facebook a source of ongoing data for building personal profiles and targeted advertisement that people would not provide on their own.
To try and give context, Homestar Runner was made in Adobe Flash and in its time rectangles were notoriously uncool in web design. Flash sites weren’t limited to the rigid structure of a typical webpage, so you would often be mousing over and finding objects to interact with in whatever whimsical shape the designer wanted. Homestar makes lots of use of hovering the mouse, so if you’re on mobile you might be missing half of the experience.
On this loading page, the small blue flag is the important part, which takes you to the main page that people remember

Tyrian. Vertical shooter with top-notch visuals for the time, a ton of secrets, good replay value and an amazing soundtrack (with a jukebox mode)
In Australia’s case, it was only after concessions were added that Facebook reinstated news on the platform.
Canada has taken a harder stance on the law, and it doesn’t look like either side is planning on accepting a compromise anytime soon.
