So is it illegal to be in Washington to intentially arouse others fully clothed?
And what about unintentionally arousal? Like can you not be shirtless if you are so hot that your body puts others into heat?

I use google. I type “<insert thing I am looking up> reddit”
While I am rooting for authors to make sure they get what they deserve, I feel like there is a bit of a parallel to textbooks here. As an engineer if I learn about statics from a text book and then go use that knowledge to he’ll design a bridge that I and my company profit from, the textbook company can’t sue. If my textbook has a detailed example for how to build a new bridge across the Tacoma Narrows, and I use all of the same design parameters for a real Tacoma Narrows bridge, that may have much more of a case.
Beautifully sad. The value of space exploration on society goes far beyond the the important yet not very far reaching science that we get from missions. NASA was pivotal in the development of more capable computers, many formats of data compression, and many other technological innovations that we take for granted.
I have said this in a different thread but Mastodon will always have an adoption issue because the use for twitter is the ability to follow marginally known to famous people that you want to hear for whatever reason (for me sports, finance, tech stuff etc) and occasionally interact with them or even become a followed twitter person yourself. Mastodon may not reach critical mass on its own but being federated and connected with people that use a twitter like service from Meta will greatly open up the opportunity to use Mastodon like many would want to use Twitter.
The bigger issue will be how well the connection works and there is always going to be concern with how meta uses the data, but for me it does make mastodon more appealing…
Fair but my point was that the point of twitter is following/interacting with public figures while Mastodon does not have any of those mainstream public figures to make it worthwhile to the vast majority of people. The point of reddit is following topics and discussing them with regular people and even on a smaller scale Lemmy can provide that. Mostly I was just agreeing with you.
I use twitter to follow content from mostly public people like sports writers, tech writers, some athletes, etc. Effectively, I use it to get breaking news about some things I care about and only rarely interact when I come up with something I think is really funny. Maybe not everyone uses twitter like me but most probably use it to follow famous people and public figures and attempt to interact with them or whatever.
Mastodon can compete with Twitter on a technical capabilities front but its going to struggle to get the mass appeal that Twitter has without the less anonymous clientele.
I see you have some metal Maui Jim aviators, I have their Makoas and in general their non-rubberized Nylon frames with ST Glass lens are a great Buy for Life option for people who don’t like aviators. Mine look like they did when they were new.
Love the list in general!
Yes I am in the US and I understand that this is a US centric problem though SMS is the feature that set signal apart from other secure messaging apps and made it slightly easier to get people to join. It was a nice alternative to imessage on android as opposed to yet another messaging app. Even in the US I have had to use SMS, WhatsApp, fb messenger, instagram’s DMs, Line, Group me, Matrix, etc, to talk to different people and I was not going to convince many to switch to signal (I tried).
I wish they hadn’t gotten rid of SMS though, that was the biggest sell for me over other options. I’m never going to get more than 2 or 3 people I regularly text to switch…
Yes but most Americans think asteroid hunting requires a rifle.
