So you're saying that they're all concentrated in one relatively compact area then? Hmm...

Time to repurpose those skyscrapers for residential/mixed small business use I guess. Bring down the cost of housing in SF and make people want to live there again.

The only news source I could find was Fox News: Biden authorizes military to use up to 3,000 reserve troops to augment US forces in Europe

The order comes on the heels of the president’s five-day trip to Europe, which wound through the U.K., Lithuania and Finland. The trip was meant to demonstrate the force of the international coalition against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And Biden appeared confident he had accomplished that mission, proclaiming that he and other NATO leaders showed the military alliance "more united than ever."

This is about the most uniquely Oregon story I've ever read. And I mean that in the absolute best way.

Occupation. And wasn't it a handy coincidence that the two countries we occupied, Afghanistan and Iraq, just happened to bookend Iran in the middle.

If the fediverse represents the soon-to-be-replaced web 2.0 of the past, what do you see replacing it and why do you think that will be incompatible with the fediverse apps?

I could see some block chain security/authentication features added to federated apps, and hopefully end-to-end encrypted DMs will be enabled by that same technology too. I'm just having a hard time imagining something "new" that will replace this completely.

There will probably be several TikTok-like entertainment platforms, likely filled with ad-friendly AI generated content that is 100% under corporate control and costs almost nothing to produce, but that type of platform attracts a different audience than what we have here.

Firefox already has the Lemmy Link extension to do this. It seems to work pretty well from what I've seen.

Can we get that Aberdeen Angus Cottage Pie in the states please?

We're entering a world where corporate media - be that music, television, movies, books, even political messaging - will soon be 99% algorithm driven. Train once, repeat ad infinitum. They already have an idea of how long it takes for public appetite to grow tired of the familiar and start craving new, and that will guide how often the algorithm should be re-trained. Meanwhile we, the consumers, will be kept fat and happy in our metaphorical pens being dished up a constant supply of delicious, processed ~~food~~ ~~entertainment~~ manipulation while they milk us for every dollar, minute, and vote that they can.

Neither am I, friend. I still miss Windows 7 most of the time.
