How amazing would it be if the first shots came from the Peace Corp?

Oh, I know... but they've always been shit and never pretended otherwise. Boycotting Target is to send a message to hopefully get then to stop being as shitty.

Honestly, it all really just seems pointless.

It isn't just our retirement plans, it's also our jobs that are tied to the market. When stock prices drop, then companies start tightening their belts, which usually involves layoffs.

I've not stepped inside a Walmart in over 10 years, I had shopped almost exclusively at Target, but that stopped after they bent the knee.

I still haven't gone inside Walmart, but, they have curbside pickup. Do all my shopping through the app and they bring it out to my car. I don't like that I'm supporting Walmart, but fuck, I've gotta get my shit from somewhere and it's either Amazon, Walmart, Kroger or Target.

Perhaps, but before you label something insane you compare it to all the words that the Biden - and even the Obama - administrations banned.

Oh, wait, there isn't a list of banned words from those administrations?

Juveniles under age 15 cannot be tried as adults for any offense, according to New Jersey state law. The teen would face a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted in family court in Essex County.

“He was going to (be prosecuted by) the state which meant that he would have had a very low sentence if he was found guilty, which I’m sure he would be,” Habba added. “I then requested that we take it on and give him a federal charge and charge him as an adult.”

This type of shit isn't just immoral, but it should also be illegal. And ultimately, if we ever become a country that cares at all about justice, then this is going to result in his case being thrown out since the charges should be state charges, and the state would not try him as an adult.

When are we going to have enough as a country?

Or getting it into a currency that isn't also dropping in value.

They probably thought you were me, I got blocked above for making a similar point that you'd also made (although I think you did a better job of making the point).

Apparently pointing out that Peertube still has quite a way to go to meet YouTube's feature set just shows incompetence.

Edit: I actually checked out their profile and we are lucky to have been blocked by them. Everything they post is either pompous, argumentative, dismissive, or some combination.

They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what's already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else's server is going to very quickly make that server go away.

And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.

Steep (snowboarding, skiing, paragliding, wingsuiting) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (fast travel is an option, but come on, enjoy that ride!) are the two that I really enjoy.

And who is going to pay for the bandwidth and storage space on those peertube instances?

I mean, I too want to get away from YouTube, but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

For side boob? The busty tree didn't get hidden behind a spoiler tag, but I'll hide the busty mouse.

 

From the article: The Open Data Institute that I co- founded in London has taken on the challenge of international co- ordination for a new standard that gives users control over their own data. It is called Solid (for social linked data) and the technical details are controlled by W3C, the web standards consortium. Solid seeks to decentralise the web. The platform can be used to build new applications that request access to user data. This data is stored in such a way that users have complete control over it.
