This is brilliant, exactly what I was thinking. Knowing russians and Russia very closely, this is a very likely scenario if Russia prevails in the next few months.
Rewarding Russia now is bringing much more war very soon. Unfortunately there is a disagreement on this fact even between well-intended people who genuinely want peace.
This is a remarkably specific and disturbing fact. Thank you for sharing.
It does make you wonder what caused spinal injury in these mice. I do not suppose there is a sufficient natural supply of these kinds of injured mice.
But, if not animal testing, how do you propose to develop the treatment?
Cats are already smart enough, they just find it easier to access the technology using their chips.
Please don't insult cats, it's cats who are smart enough to know how to use their chips! Robots and chips just react as they are programmed.
So I have a cat chipped 15 years ago, and she can still operate modern devices with it - open doors, get food from a robot.
Not all tech goes obsolete fast, there are legacy compatibility layers!
Actually I like the very fact that it is paid. Supporting the developer, and some sort of accountability.
Also, after trying connect, liftoff, jerboa (all perfectly good apps), etc I find that sync is most smooth and customizable.
They certainly do. They undermine HTTP too. And would have done much more harm if the Web was not founded with a different governance model.
EU actions like that in the title post stress this original, less centralized, model. It was naive to assume that free internet will remain free if left alone.
Paradoxically, preserving freedom relies on constraints and regulations.
You still, presumably, use HTTP for your internet needs, even though facebook totally works over it.
What's the problem with a protocol for chat?
there is not almost any attempt to organize public participation. Except maybe admin posts with discussions in comments. Also users can vote with their feet.
I agree that the admin instinct is mostly honest and democratic and they should be regarded for their work. But the instance governance is mostly autocratic. And this kind of structure usually devolves in despotism, since power corrupts.
Would be nice to see an institution-based instance, with a constitution, elections, balance of power. Would be a great social experiment!
This is really interesting, also in comparison to governance of "traditional" social networks.
I would not be surprised if someone did scientific research about it.
An interesting difference is no need to fight for land and resources, anyone can go and create another microstate.
Still, there is some benefit of larger states, they can resist spam better. But as much as they implement spam filters in the code, smaller instances can them. Political benefits of open source are real.
