How would this even work? People would have to pay a monthly membership for weather radios and weather/radar apps? These people are so greedy and gross.
"Deadly weekend flooding in central Texas has drawn a spotlight to budget cuts and staff reductions at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two agencies housed within the Commerce Department that provide the public with free climate and weather data that can be crucial during natural disasters. What’s drawn less attention is how the downsizing appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies. In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies." #Weather #NOAA #NWS #Forecast apnews.com/article/trump-lutni…

TL;DR: Be intentional. Find your community, and control your algorithm(s). I left Twitter in the winter of 2022 after about 15 years as a power user. During the intervening years I’ve learned a lot about myself and social media.
I am wrestling with both right now. One my biggest gripes in Bsky is the limited post length. I work best when I can can get a full complete thought out with citations and quotes. Mastodon (at least this instance) has a 500 character limit. That works for me. 300 characters on bsky is just too confining. I hate it.
I've found myself sort of microblogging more here lately, but engagement on bsky (at least in my nerd circles) is pretty good, so I'm there too.
Nothing makes you realize how dumb the super rich in Silicon Valley are as much as their love of Curtis Yarvin. This is a guy whose big idea is that diversity is ruining America so much that we should dismantle democracy and our universities then install a dictator to make America white again.

Download the #Linux binary file, and put it under a local folder (e.g. uncompress it under ~/Applications/). Then edit its /config/simuconf.tab to uncomment and change the option singleuser_install to 1. This will save all downloaded paks & save data on its own folder, instead of your home folder.
The most surprising part of this story is the daily active user chart, which shows 134 million for X, 120 million for Threads, 4.1 million for Bluesky.
Mastodon doesn't make the cut. Too few daily users.
After an overwhelming strike authorization vote last month by 45,000 Southern California grocery workers, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) is attempting to ram through an insulting sellout deal behind workers’ backs.
No se si estáis al tanto de que la IA de tuistar, el famoso Grok, ha empezado a decir cosas full nazis después de que Elonio le hiciese el enésimo retoque porque opinaba que era demasiado woke y chorradas por el estilo. Pues bien, ahora ha dicho que lo va a integrar en los coches de Tesla. Estoy empezando a pensar que en realidad es un infiltrado de la industria automovilística china para destrozar la competencia estadounidense. Porque tanto autosabotaje no es ni medio normal.

What’s most important to him personally is retaining power by preventing the collapse of his government, but if that’s unavoidable, then he at the very least wants to keep the conservatives out of power in the event of early elections.
