Do you remember how long ago the last few open registration periods were? I'll try to keep my eyes open but it will help to know when to check more frequently. I use NZBGeek currently but OzNZB seems to be gone and I always prefer to have at least 2 for redundancy.

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."

That sounds like a reasonable compromise. I'm glad that they got it passed. Now get to enforcing the law that prevents those senators who shut down the legislature from running for office next election...

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.

Chapman also said that during the confrontation, he removed his glasses. “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock,” Chapman said.
So he admits that it was premeditated. Good luck with your assault charge there, bud.

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.

Would a national sales tax on purchases over 5 or 10 million pass muster do you think? Or is sales tax something that only state and local governments can impose?

Anyone could start a thread, but ideally a mod would create a stickied post so that it was easy to find over the course of the week.

Duckduckgo.com uses Bing as its back-end. Honestly I prefer both to Google anymore.

It's hilarious that this assumes old.reddit.com will survive more than a year or two after IPO.

RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.

I can't help but notice how similar their phrasing is to Spez trying to justify why Reddit has yanked the rug out from under their third party app developers.

The President doesn't get to decide on that any more than a regular citizen. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution states quite clearly that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
If Congress and the States want to amend the Constitution, they can do so by following the procedures laid out in Article V, which requires a 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress OR 2/3 of state legislatures to propose the amendment, and then 3/4 approval of state legislatures to ratify it. The President has zero involvement in the process:
Once approved by Congress, the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment does not require presidential approval before it goes out to the states. While Article I Section 7 provides that all federal legislation must, before becoming Law, be presented to the president for his or her signature or veto, Article V provides no such requirement for constitutional amendments approved by Congress, or by a federal convention. Thus the president has no official function in the process. In Hollingsworth v. Virginia (1798), the Supreme Court affirmed that it is not necessary to place constitutional amendments before the president for approval or veto.

Firefox already has the Lemmy Link extension to do this. It seems to work pretty well from what I've seen.
Twitter plans to focus on video, creator and commerce partnerships to revitalize the social media company's business beyond digital advertising, according to an investor presentation by owner Elon Musk and new Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino that was reviewed by Reuters. Yaccarino, who started as CEO on June 5, told Twitter investors on Thursday that the company is in early conversations with political and entertainment figures, payments services and news and media publishers, said a source familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a private investor call.
