the man certainly does not do deep thinking but the thinktanks that are his advisors sure do.

Selling US Treasury bonds is exactly what Trump wants as it would devalue the dollar (flooding the market with dollars basically devalues the dollar) and Trump wants to devalue the dollar to make manufacturing in the US more attractive and to stimulate exports and therefore jobs in the US.

it’s not money and power because both are on the side of renewable energy: money already today and power in the future

You can research all you want, but the periodic table is not changing, and Chinese R&D is decades ahead of the West.

yeah content discovery sucks unfortunately :(
- Comment on How to (safely) create a Lemmy community server? 3 days ago:
I want to set up a Lemmy server too (currently still deciding between Lemmy and PieFed) to host some basic content that we create at a university group with the public. It’s more like a blog than anything else, at least as envisioned. I’d also like to add some cool features to it like auto-posting (i.e. we have a bot that automatically uploads certain posts).

which tbh is a bad idea from the start
- Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible? 3 days ago:
I think the reason why Matrix doesn’t use AP is mostly to draw a clear line between public and private activity. Because if you use one protocol for both, the temptation is high to mix them and that leads to unclean implementations which leak messages. I think it should stay divided.

matrix can absolutely be a social experience. check out the 196 blahaj chat: matrix.to/#/#196-Blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone
- Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible? 3 days ago:
If i understand correctly, Discord is a chat application for private and group chats. There is Matrix chat that works reasonably well as a replacement.
It’s decentralized, open source software, and i’ve used and tested it for at least a year now. It works well enough. It does not use the ActivityPub protocol though.
Mind that Matrix chat tends to private/group chats, which means they’re not typically visible to everyone else. Which means it would make little sense to try to embed them into the rest of the fediverse, which is openly accessible.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 4 days ago:
Can we get some information on what’s the ratio of total houses/people in the country, from 1960 to today?
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
because the alternative is to lose more than we gain each year because the option to “stay exactly the same” is statistically unlikely as it has a probability of around 0%.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
better discovery tools
i think communities should have links to “related communities” in their sidebar sothat people can find similar communities more easily.
There could even be a “recommended” posts listing, besides the “subscribed”/“local”/“all” as it is today. it would show you posts from linked communities from communities that you already subscribed to too.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
i think if you copy posts/images manually it’s better because it shows that there’s a human actually wanting that community active, so other people can see that and engage as well. if a bot does it, it’s just a “flood” for no reason.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
the question is whether the upvotes of that post makes over half of the total upvotes on all posts on that instance, and that i seriously doubt
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
IMHO the internet isn’t for everyone. that might make me sound like an elitarian asshole but i think the internet’s only for people who enjoy going through information and are able to think without being swayed by group-think (tribalism) because otherwise it simply ends up in a bubble of rage bait and propaganda.
Essentially i think that maybe the internet of the future will be much smaller overall (think like 3% of its current user count) but it will probably be better that way.

- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
There’s too many armchair activists here who won’t let you enjoy a single moment without reminding you that something bad is happening somewhere in the world and that you have some kind of moral obligation to be angry all the time about it. And if you’re not angry all the time then you’re somehow part of the problem.
That’s exactly what i’m complaining about as well. Being angry doesn’t even help. Having a clear head helps, but being angry IMO stands against that.

how comes i never see it? did i block it accidentally?
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
yeah i think when a new user signs up on an instance, they should be automatically subscribed to a certain list of communities that fit the vibe of the instance. like when you sign up to a memes community, you get automatically subscribed to all meme communities even from other instances.
the instance admin would have to maintain a community list for that.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 6 days ago:
yeah there’s always gonna be some users who would like more furry/anime content on the front page and those who might be put off by it
IMHO the best way to do it would be to recommend specific instances to potential new users. i.e. if you know they like furry/anime content, recommend lemmy.blahaj.zone, if you know they like programming memes, recommend programming.dev, etc …
