Gmail is an email provider, and so is protonmail. They are two companies providing email services. And you can communicate between the two email services by sending emails. Both email providers have their own rules and regulations you have to follow because they are run by different people in different places/countries.

Lemmy is similar. Each Lemmy instance provider is run by different people in different places/countries. When you make a comment or post on one instance, it automatically sends your message/post to the other Lemmy providers/instances (if they don’t block the federation). You have to follow the rules of the provider/instance you join, just like for email providers.

Choosing a Lemmy provider/instance based on location or theme is the most common. Also, it’s recommended to not choose the most popular instance, because that would defeat the purpose of federation if everyone is in one place, like reddit (one company, one location, one rule set for the entire platform).

Really surprised the current government regime actually cares about this, because it’s about scamming the populace.

Link Lemmy stuff there, to advertise federated platforms. I do it and haven’t been penalized like reddit does.

Books and media that are similar to “Subtle art of not giving a Fuck” is harmful to society, and supports apathetic beliefs. They are conservative views because they support separation of society instead coming together, and working out differences. The result can be seen in how people voted or not voted in elections. Every time I see a comment like “I’m tired” or “who cares” on social media in response to news, is screaming apathy, like they don’t even want to think about being good. Genocide happens all the time because there is lack of care for the those people. Homeless people do not get the help they need because people would rather treat them like trash. Trash, actual rubbish, is an afterthought for most people, not caring how their trash is being handled. America has a huge trash problem, where many throw theirs on the ground. Glass is highly more recyclable than plastic, yet I see more and more plastic every where, thanks oil industry. The recycling refund system in america hasn’t increased, for inflation, since its implementation decades ago. The list is endless. Apathy is every where, I see it all the time determining peoples actions and voices. First step to combat it is to be mindful of an issue and think of how it could be important to someone else, which can be hard to do, to put yourself in the shoes of someone else.

I don’t want to dox anyone or myself. Is this a google issue or did I link it wrong?

Assuming only red states have low population and grows faster is weird, but might be plausible. I could look into historical birth rates of each state, or population changes, comparing them to each other to see if the trends make sense. I assumed (or didn’t think of) there wouldn’t be bias growth rates based on state affiliation (red or blue). My first thought was gerrymandering and could it cause this bias. Either way, I didn’t think about population growth having an inherent bias in this.

I was referencing that website, it kinda lines up around the time the parties switched. The party switch could be another result or part of the cause of that inflection point. I realized there could be connection when I was trying to figure out when the parties switched, but I don’t know enough about that history.

I forgot to add: In determining if the state was red or blue at a change point, I looked at the 4 prior election results, and 2 aft election results, 6 total to determine how red, blue, or tied purple it was for that time. It’s the only fudge factor that could be modified because it’s just a guess, but I think the trend will remain even if you modify this (Ex: 3 prior, 1 aft, 2 prior, 1 Aft, etc.)

Like any kingdom, really depends on the king that rules. Trump will form the Nazi party and start stripping away more balances of power, but Biden will hopefully start restoring the democracy.

Best to block the tankie instances and then tag or block the wild ones in the comment sections as you see them, because commenters can’t blocked wholesale.

It’s because apple is generally opposite of this type of place. Lemmy is more FOSS (free and open software), and android is more open than apple. Apple’s closed garden isn’t appealing to most tinkers, developers, and power users. Apple is more main stream and don’t want to bother with setup, settings or tinkering.

Personally, I hated Apple before even their first cell phone was around, because their software lockouts were infuriating to me, creating a disposable iPod paper weight after only 2 years back then. I never looked back.

Unusable.

Also not a free trial if you have to give them your credit information beforehand. That’s the red flag that prevents me from proceeding with free trials.

I really want to see a video of someone saying ‘all hail king Biden’. Maybe it will wake him up and take action… Or he will roll over and go back to sleep…

From the lack of reaction to how big this change is, too many are not concerned IMO.

Request removal from emailing list or mark it as spam.

Some thing needs to keep the court in check and remove the bad apples.

Even on windows 10, Onedrive uploaded random crap you don’t want and then yells at you that the space is full and buy a subscription. It has to be the worst cloud service of them all because of the bullshit integration. It was easier to disable and remove it than to work with it.

Microsoft ignoring Linux exists is prime anticompetitive behavior. It causes problems that Linux installations have to go around. I learned that when installing a dual boot configuration.

I tried a bunch of Bethesda games in the past and didn’t like any of them. I known I’m in the minority when I say that.
