...What of all the supposed "massive" price increases in other consumer goods, like groceries, that have been attributed to the carbon price by some folks over the years? They claimed the added cost of transporting the goods increased the prices so much that it hurt Canadians. Can we expect a price decrease on all those items as well?
Somehow I doubt it. So either someone will be skimming extra profit off the top, or those folks were falsely attributing the price increases. 🤔

Yea that seems to be a hurdle for most crypto/blockchain social or communication platforms.

Energy innovation is needed to meet the immense challenge of climate change. Large amounts of reliable low-carbon power is needed to support the demand brought by a growing population.
Superhot rock geothermal energy could play a valuable role here. #climate #energy

So... Is Crowdstrike done for? I'm sure many firms will seek out a different provider after this disruption.

Less politics on social media this election season would be great 👍

Openvibe cross-post test #2?

2024-07-18 04:14:27 GMT

Testing out Openvibe, the new evolution of Plebstr. In their words, it "offers a unified social experience, bringing together your favorite open social networks like Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, Threads (coming soon), and more into a single, seamless timeline."
From the one app, you can view a single feed of posts from all connected platforms, and even cross-post to all at once.
Looks appealing so far, especially with the splintering of social media communities post-Twitter. Will be great once they get Threads integrated!
