That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.
I think it theoretically can’t be done. The protocol allows anyone to query for posts, and it has to work that way unless you want to move ActivityPub federation to an invite-only system. On most servers I think browsing while being logged out is sufficient, just like on pre-Musk Twitter.
Mastodon also doesn’t let you prevent people from reading your posts.
Mounting solar panels on roofs - like all roof work - is dangerous.
Unfortunately not. For me the main problem is discoverability. There’s no recommendation algorithm except for boosts. I’m not suggesting Mastodon integrate some kind of machine learning or other advanced stuff, but number of likes from followed accounts and a threshold would be nice for a start. As it is, Mastodon is just bad for entertainment purposes. Maybe it works for other purposes, but for entertainment I’d rather have the algorithm-fuelled quote-tweet dunking on Twitter.
Funding issues, according to the article
It’s more that the bureaucracy is so complex and fragmented that it’s incredibly hard to digitalize. Lots of small fiefdoms that are entitled to make IT purchasing decisions themselves means paper is the only universal interchange format. In addition there is an unwillingness to change how things have always been done, or to simplify procedures. So there you have it: The German bureaucracy is too fat to move.
Not sure how well this has worked in practice. Lots of bad cancellation proceedures last time I had to do it
What about posting manuals on War Thunder forums?
Well, could always spend some of the money wasted on exchange rate manipulation on food subsidies instead. But I think just making the transition more gradual would be my bet
Having the currency be free-floating is the best policy. The transition might be a bit too rapid, though
A private company still has owners and their representatives, regardless of whether or not the company has a formal board. Things are just more formalized and documented in public companies.
In fact, CEOs tend to have more power in public companies than in private ones, since public companies have a higher share of passive shareholders and more divided shareholders.
Kevlar only stops 9mm and similar, anyway.
Do you read benchmarks before writing this kind of comment?
Depends on the distro. Otherwise you’ll have to install the nvidia drivers yourself, and if memory serves it’s not as smooth of a process as on Windows. If you use Pop OS you should be golden, as that Linux distro does all the work for you.
Maybe, but you can push it really far before the breaking point is reached.
Afghanistan is the way it currently is because Pakistan sabotaged it in a galaxy-brain play against India. Pakistan is honestly not great.
Maybe the same as with drugs in sports: Self-experimentation can be an expedient shortcut, and scientists are often very competitive people. If results obtained through self-experimentation are rewarded, many scientists would be tempted to do it. Contrary to doping in sport, however, in science you need to at least do something different each time for it to be publication-worthy. That institutes a big skill floor and considerable risk, so I think a self-experimentation epidemic is unlikely. Generally I still think self-experimentation is good, precisely because it’s such a shortcut.
