I live far enough away that this might not be a feasible route but, that's an interesting option, I haden't thought of it. Granted I am not as close as you are but, according to the site with the correct transponder I might be able to still. I would need to look into regulatory requirements to it though as that's a bit of a distance over the air.

thank you for that idea, defo something I will look into and if it works I'll discuss it with them!

My parents have that issue ISP wise. You can walk 100ft and have fiber service through my current provider, but their hill is run by another ISP and that ISP wants almost triple what my ISP wants for fiber so they still use DSL. They get 5-10 mbps down on a good day. It barely functions Netflix on 460p and if anyone else is using it, it fails to function.

Regardless of my opinions for it, it'll be a societal requirement with the advancement of technology unless we wish to move away from a monetary based system.

I personally am fully for it, I am concerned about the productivity drop if it is implemented too early, however such a system needs to exist for continued societal functionality.

wait can it? I thought most resets nuke the keystore to prevent the decryption key from being seen. Thats concerning.

Fully agreed its dangerous

in the case of constitutional amendments, this gets even more complex. Technically states have the ability to force a constitutional convention hearing in the case of a legislative branch either not bringing to the floor or denying an amendment that has clear popularity in the states.

The issue with this is that it requires a 2/3 vote of the states in agreement, and that it also requires a system that only has the bare minimums defined legally on it. It doesn't define what a convention is, or even how many people in the state have to agree. It's fully left on the states to decide it on an individual basis how that system would work for them.

How it would work is

1. current legislative refuses to hear a popular amendment
2. at least 2/3 of the states organize some sort of system that can act as a commitee somehow representing the overall choice of the states citizens
3. upon 2/3 of the states agreeing, a convention is forced potentially excluding the legislative branch as a whole
4. the bill that gets created at said convention is then put up to the 3/4 state vote required to ratify it.

I thought the intent behind that wasn't to revoke previous pardons, but was to prevent a president from pardoning themselves in an impeachment trial.

further more the opencollective project hasn't seen an expense report for development since july of 2024 only domain renewals. so it's not like they are working behind the scenes and just haven't pushed anything to the gitlab (which also hasent seen any real development activity since july 2024)

edit: I just saw this on their blog.

Personally I will not do any more work on Manyverse. And my impression is no one else is planning to either. At most I might do a patch release (no features/big bug fixes) to wrap up a grant. The codebase could maybe keep living in a fork where the backend is swapped out with some other protocol, but this is a big project which would probably lose backwards compatibility with the current SSB main network, and I don't think this is very likely to happen. Personally if I'd work on a P2P app now it'd probably be a (comparatively) "smaller" project, like a chat app or similar, using a newer protocol.

so it sounds like the project is essentially dead

Social life? No. But i defo don't think society would be hindered by fewer social media or social platform sources.

There's some social platforms that I straight out avoid due to the toxicity of the platform as a whole, while overall I think online has made my social life better, it definitely has a pretty heavy consequence as well.

we've used artificial for at least the last 9 years now. Less cleanup, less expensive and easy to setup

I'm just chiming in to say that while the documentation gives you information on how to do external access, there are multiple issues open on the github about unauthenticated endpoints that if you know what is on the server already, you can confirm that it's there

So I wouldn't use a standard naming convention because using that knowledge, someone who cares could use common names that could be on the server, followed by common standards of formats they would be in, and be able to confirm it's their via the end points.
