If I understand it correctly, it's "federated" in the sense that you can create similar infrastructure to Bluesky's using ATProto and have your posts show up there, but that reality seems pretty academic because not many people are doing that compared to Mastodon.
The data source is a paywalled business insider article, but it's got an archive link
granted it's a website run by like 1 guy with a secondhand source (BI is citing an Instacart study) but if it's accurate it means that 3 of the top 10 states for egg prices are swing states (Nevada, Arizona, Georgia) , and if you look at inflation per dozen eggs per state Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are also in the top 10. All of those states also have low minimum wages (Arizona's an outlier at like 13 bucks but every other swing state, it's $10 or the federal minimum).
Microstrategy is an analytics company that buys bitcoin to pump bitcoin - they own something like 1% of the total supply.
Tether is a cryptocurrency that lets you do tax fraud by being pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, but can be exchanged in-kind for bitcoin so you don't actually trigger a taxable event. It's run by iFinex, a company that also runs the Bitfinex exchange. I'm not really sure that they actually have 120 billion in cash
I have no clue who actually runs these companies tho
AMD. Had horrible problems with Nvidia drivers on a rolling release distro, haven't run AMD with one but it's been smooth sailing ever since I switched. Running a 5600xt, plays Death Stranding at 1080 pretty competently.
IIRC people in that part of the Roman empire commonly spoke Greek because of Alexander the Great's conquest of the area centuries earlier. So you'd be more likely to run into someone bilingual in Aramaic and Greek than you would Aramaic and Latin
The timing of the click captcha loading is randomized and it probably is looking for human-ish cursor movement? (Like you're probably moving your hand in imperceptibly small ways that are difficult to replicate). Clicking before it loads and doing it repeatedly probably triggers detection.
Doodle crosses are a genuine negative for society. I have lived with a standard (full size) poodle and they are really great dogs, but they're absolutely not a good fit for most dog owners. Poodles love attention. And they like barking for attention. A standard poodle (the most likely cross) barks at about 120db. Absolutely everywhere. Outside, enclosed spaces, right in front of your goddamn face. This is about 35 db louder than the threshold for hearing damage, and the decibel scale is logarithmic. I feel that largely burgerlanders do not train their dogs well and because of that, we have people who are constantly exposed to hearing-damage levels of sound multiple times a day inside their own living spaces. They can also be pretty intolerant of kids and they get nippy.
A poodle cross can combine those negatives with all the negatives of the breed they're crossed with. For example, I've also lived with a purebred Golden Retriever. This dog had seperation anxiety and chewed through a panel from a door in a night. But hey, at least they don't make you sneeze, right?
The US Government is absolutely fucking over its people with this because if solar panels are cheap, the installation cost makes its money back quicker, and people are simply leaving money on the table rather than waiting 15+ years for the investment to pay itself back.
I wouldn't suppose that people are required to inform steam that they're dead. Therefore, I'd assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)
Hell yeah. It's good the apprentice got to see it too - people can be so scared for their jobs that seeing people standing tall for what they believe in is too rare. Hopefully they'll be willing to do what's right when the time comes. Congrats on the new job!
