You’re not the intended audience

Maybe but as long as old people vote more reliably than young people, everything else will break before that happens.

Anecdotal but all of the Catholics I know have either converted to the episcopal church or they just never go to mass or talk about it but say they’re catholic so grandma doesn’t get sad. You go to mass, and there are no young people whatsoever. I don’t have hard data to back this up but it seems like the Catholic Church in the US could just collapse before a significant schism reaches us.

Why don’t you guys start a new community that suits you? I bet there’s more people that feel the same way.

When I first joined, I hopped around instances and tried out a bunch. But eventually I settled on this one and I haven’t logged in to any other account in a while. I probably count as like 5 inactive users. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot of that.

Posts are going up pretty steady, that matters more.

A few posts up, there’s an article about how basically all cars manufacturers are a privacy nightmare

They don’t. Libre Office is maintained by a non-profit called The Document Foundation. They’re funded entirely by donations. I think they make enough to have some full time employees.

A lot of open source software is created by individuals or non-profits. The Mozilla foundation makes Firefox, for instance. They make money through donations and also Google pays them a ton of money to be the default search engine.

There are for profit companies that make or contribute to open source software. Such as Red Hat. They tend to make money by selling support for the software.

I have a 2013. It gets shit gas mileage but I’ve never had any problems other than normal consumable parts.

Where are bikes more expensive than a used car? I literally just bought a pretty sweet used touring bike for 200 bucks. I guess you could find a cheaper used car but it isn’t going to run.

Decent commuter bikes from the major brands have gotten in to the 600-700 dollar range which sucks but is still pretty far away from used car prices.

You can still get bikes for less than half that from the direct to consumer companies.

So you either really need a carbon fiber bike with all the latest and greatest technology or you have incredibly low standards in used cars.

Hydro electric is less than 30% of Maine’s energy. They’re expanding it but it’s very expensive. Natural gas is also about a third of their energy which is what they need to replace to be fully renewable. Wind power already makes up another third, expanding it makes a lot of sense.

We’ve had a good balance the past couple days. I like both.

They’re suing Amazon for punishing sellers who don’t use Amazon fulfillment services. It’s a good thing but hardly “the big one.” They aren’t breaking them up, it’s only the big one in the sense that this is the biggest they’ll ever be brave enough to do.
