  • Any fediverse like discord clones?

    Jump

  • I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

  • The forest garden description is very similar to what I have seen described as a “permaculture forest” elsewhere.

  • The Supreme Court’s late-night rebuke to Trump is extraordinary in more ways than one

  • I’m glad some of the justices finally located their consciences, but I’m afraid this will end up being too little too late.

  • Elon Musk’s harem exposes the emptiness of Republican ‘family values’

  • Reagan did borderline rape a 19 year old aspiring actress, promising to get her into meetings with producers, a week before he married Nancy Davis.

  • There are people on the left who critique the myth of the nuclear family that was pushed starting in the 1950’s, but that’s not what that quote is about.

  • It’s way creepier and unethical than a harem.

    If all he was doing was basically paying women to fuck him, that would be maybe unsavory but not terribly weird.

    He’s promising to pay women to bear his children, but uses artificial insemination if they agree to it. Then he sends them an NDA and if they won’t sign he claims the baby isn’t his.

  • Cory Doctorow has made a pretty convincing argument that in your real specifically, all designs should be open source. That way, if a company goes bankrupt or simply stops supporting a device, like (say) an implant that allows them to see, or a pacemaker, or whatever, they can pursue repairs without the help of the OEM.

  • I think Disney might have a few things to say about that.

    Along with every other film studio, record company, publisher, video game studio…

    …engineering firm, architecture firm…

    …pharma company, law firm…

  • That multiplier should include sledgehammers in some way.

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • I think that’s actually a pretty common view, just not often loudly professed by people with power or platforms.

  • Why can't California and New York make their own medicare for all?

    Jump

  • Yeah, look at any number of things (including Medicaid implementation) that have been left up to the states and what a complete dumpster fire they are.

  • Why can't California and New York make their own medicare for all?

    Jump

  • ITT: people who don’t understand that Medicaid is not Medicare, and that means-testing means a service isn’t “for all.”

    Editing to add: Medicaid is funded mostly by the federal government, 69% vs 31% funding from the state. So even if it wasn’t means-tested (one has to have an income below a certain amount, or be disabled to a certain degree before qualifying) it would not meet OP’s definition, a single payer health insurance system funded by the state.

    To answer OP’s question, a state funded single payer health insurance program would likely run afoul of the Commerce Clause of the constitution which states the federal government has jurisdiction over interstate commerce. UHC, Aetna, and other nation-wide insurance companies would absolutely sue over the state programs interfering with their right to conduct interstate commerce, and they would almost certainly win, even without a hard right SCOTUS like the current one.

  • Funny story, if it cuts off at a certain income level, it’s not for all.

    I can’t imagine making a survivable go of it in New York for 28k/year.

  • How about gender superglass?

  • Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says

    Jump

  • It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.

  • No Connection, No Flush

  • Sounds like the beginning of the Cory Doctorow novella “Unauthorized Bread.” Cloud service goes down and the main character’s toaster won’t work without them.

  • Elon Musk says he has no clue why people hate his guts

  • It still surprises me someone with that complete of a lack of self awareness manages to get dressed without injuring themselves.
