Good luck with the project!

Thanks!

This is why I’m a fan of vintage steel bikes. They can last multiple lifetimes, and not just a handful of years.

That's why I'm doing a similar approach. I nabbed a $50 used bike from my local re-use center, and I'm gonna slap a mid drive upgrade kit on it. Worst case if the motor goes it's replaceable. And the frame itself is never going to break on me.

Hoping to get it upgraded for spring.

So it's just a coincidence that they ended up killing their competitors? Yeah right.

Then why did they once support XMPP?

First, you’re going to need some sort of evidence to back up this claim.

It's in their interest to exaggerate, and they are under the control of a terrorist organization.

Second, Hamas isn’t who is publishing these numbers.

My understanding is that the only people tracking & publishing the numbers is the Palestinian health ministry, which is under the control of Hamas. Everyone else is just saying "Gaza's health ministry said X" and such.

Yeah. Definitely place sole blame on hamas instead of the people intentionally bombing civilians.

Dude, I am this 🤏 close to being banned in another community for daring to say that the current event is a genocide of palestinians.

I'm not denying anything, let alone for the sake of convenience. I'm not apathetic. All I'm saying is, is that the current numbers are probably not completely accurate.

I also explicitly said that the current estimate is probably not far off.

I never said defeating them or out competing them should be the goal. The goal should be the survival of services. And corporations will kill these services.

So what?

People are posting fan fiction of them together? That's disgusting! Where? I need to make sure I avoid it.

Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn't federated with google's XMPP back in the day, google wouldn't have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

And for those that don't:

I haven't heard anything from a third party, and no doubt hamas is exagerating to some degree, but whatever the actual numbers are, I wouldn't think the current estimate of ~20,000 is far off. Israel is intentionally bombing civilians, so the estimated number sounds fairly reasonable to me.

Easier to confirm, is the proportion of women & children. About half the population of Palestine is children, and about half are women. So ~75% being women or children also fits.

Yeah, it was more or less the same experience for me. My community college was the same quality teaching (and in some aspects it was better). Which just makes it infuriating that 4 year community college programs aren't really an option.

It may not be much in comparison to others, but that doesn't make absolve me of my debt. Practically every other developed nation has this figured out, it's long past time we caught up.

I've got about $25,000 reasons why it is not in fact better.

Scholarships that only exist in the first place because we have privatized higher education, which is privatized because of greed.

I did as close to that as I could, going to community then transferring to a 4 year. The problem is deeper than people wanting extra stuff, part of the problem is that nobody respects community college degrees, and they're usually 2 year programs.

Greed

I think this game intentionally went with the "make it impossibly hard to draw out play time" philosophy.

Which has it's benefits and drawbacks. Overall I think the game was better for it though.
