The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.

It's simply not a part of the fediverse and it's centralized to a single instance. It's not any different than Twitter, except no one interesting uses it.

It's a common estimate that by 2030 we'll probably have the first blue ocean event, but at the rate we've accelerated fossil fuels use along with the military build up and use promised by Trump it's increasingly likely we'll see it before then, during Trump's term.

So, the entire collapse of the food chain.

That definitely seems more important than fixing your cost of living crisis or dealing with the two provinces now that are actively rolling back human rights advances.

Immigrants. If you're a poor and/or undocumented person, especially second generation, you'll speak two languages as a matter of your upbringing; and the majority race will see you as trash, a reminder they are lesser than you in some way because you have more skills despite being lower in the hierarchy.

Australia hopefully has their own home grown social media sites by now. Every other country that decides to wholesale ban all foreign social media tend to have replacements ready when they do it.

That's nice, but there is no excuse for higher overhead than the amount of money actually spent on the problem, when the problem objectively can be solved by direct expenditure.

We know how to eliminate homelessness and the causes behind it even in a capitalist society. It doesn't cost a billion per 100 transitional housing units.

Yes.

Yes, they might use it for drugs or alcohol, that's fine, it's as important as food sometimes.

Non profits and charities are great in theory, but most redirect less than 10% of what they receive towards the homeless look at LA's projects as the most glaring example, it "takes" 10 million+ per single housing unit for temporary housing. Not due to cost, but simply corruption at every level. From the non profits involved to the government itself.

Giving directly to the homeless skips all that.

Or to put it another way, you can't fix the problem or treat symptoms by continuing to give money to the cause of the problem. Giving directly at least treats the symptom.

To not be homeless anymore.

The alternative is developers leaving Linux contribution leaving just corporate contributors, which appears to be the Linux Foundation's plan.
