It'd be fascinating as an outsider if the choices made by the US didn't basically impact everything, everywhere.
Damn, that had no business being as believable as it was

Essentially for something to be decentralised and not ephemeral, everyone needs a copy of the data.
To go into a bit more detail—one of the biggest benefits of decentralised systems is generally redundancy has to be built in otherwise you have a Single Point Of Failure™️, and then you get data loss when it's gone. Given any sensible decentralised system is designed to avoid this scenario, that data has to be somewhere, and generally the simplest and less expensive (in terms of processing) way to improve on data in one place, is to have it in every place. Any time the data isn't in one place or every place, you then have an exercise in figuring out where it actually is. This "finding it" processing is going to take time and effort, and if you imagine a standard semi-popular lemmy post, that's potentially data coming from all sorts of different places, which may or may not be there—this would inevitably make request times ridiculous and basically no one would use it.
At the end of the day, any kind of processing is energy, cost & time expensive, whereas storage makes that part of the process effectively instant and is much cheaper than increasing processing power in both cost and energy.
So basically in this use case and many like it: it makes sense if you're trying to pick what to optimise, you optimise for lower processing and higher storage requirements rather than vice versa.
The history aspect is more straightforward to understand given the above, if you expect people to care what happened a year ago and want to support that, that data needs to live somewhere
They can happen at the same time, but no, they're entirely independent
Sure things can always go quicker, but this one is at least already on the right trajectory, and luckily that's the hardest one for a government to influence.
The government should definitely be heavily subsidizing heat pump replacements (then after a while ramping up gas duty as the stick) and bring back the solar panel subsidies though. And yes shove every penny necessary to get HS2 done to completion so we can get started on HS3 and completely disincentivise short haul flights. All the while building as many wind, tidal and solar farms as possible to power it all—bonus points if we can get a surplus Vs our immediate neighbours.
If we're all dead the money doesn't matter, so it should be spent on ensuring survival.

Rocky start, but we’re here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start # What’s Canvas? Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit’s r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse! The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 ho...
So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around
I've not started anything yet
Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.
Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?
It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.
Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now
I originally posted it on Reddit a couple years back and people rated it a lot. I decided to share it here as well. - Jungle [early 90s-present] - the genre that predates dnb and laid foundations for the genre.

It has been 12 months since the administration event that saw WASPS relegated from the RFU - and that was the day that we planned our return. You will know our journey through the fit and proper process of the RFU and the difficulties we faced on funding and acceptance to enter the Championship.
As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!
Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be
I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.
Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.
Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.
Let's kick off some slightly low effort content here:
Which is your favourite game in the series?
For me it will always be between Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.
I think the story of TD is what pulled me into the series in the first place, and RA on Westwood online is what cemented me as a fan
Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to !audioproductiondeals@lemmit.online for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.
It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.
Is there something I'm missing here?
UPDATES BELOW
So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.
One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:
Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.
Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.
I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to come up with something a bit more sophisticated than an array of communities. I'll update this post if I ever change my mind on that
Update
So I guess I wasn't happy with leaving it alone:
Here it is on greasyfork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/474756-lemmy-mlmym-community-bar-customisation
I added localStorage and a simple config GUI to configure the list of favourites now, no reordering yet (without just removing and re-adding in a different order), but I imagine I'll end up adding that in time
Update 2
And another update:
I've just updated GreasyFork with 0.3
- Added reordering
- Added background fade and background click to close
- Added favourite/unfavourite button to the community sidebar
