They paint their houses those bright colours because of the long, brutally cold, depressing, grey, sun-starved winters. But great place to visit in the summer months.

Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

  • Two people fighting will now be boing.
  • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
  • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
  • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

Would have done better if he could kiss a few babies out on the campaign trail - but the bin over his head gets in the way. It's a shame, I like Count Binface's policy platform...and the cape.

Winner! Well done. You win a Trump Prize Pack containing a signed MAGA hat, a pack of Trump NFT cards, a genuine Trump tupee with pre-combed slick back and sides, a framed copy of his love letter to Kim Jong Un the North Korean dictator, and a McDonalds voucher for a years supply of cheese burgers. Look for it in the mail.

Someone should just start putting out fake Trump articles with super-weird headlines and no-one would notice - anything is plausible with this guy.

  1. 'Trump stole Israeli artifacts from White House'
  2. ‘Trump admits that he expects servicemen to be rapists’
  3. 'Trump kicked a child in the face while campaigning in Iowa.'
  4. ‘Donald Trump just literally made the Republican race about his penis’
  5. 'Donald Trump likes rough sex with prostitutes who only have one leg.'
  6. 'Trump visited church before election day and walked out with a wooden pew under his arm and a gold alter crucifix concealed in his jacket.'
  7. 'Trump was spotted Thursday cartwheeling down Santa Monica beach in a mankini.'
  8. 'Trump just called Hillary Clinton Beelzubub, the eater of souls.'
  9. 'Donald Trump stole classified documents, stored them in his bathroom in Mar-a-Lago, then sent copies via bike courier to the Russian and Saudi embassies for a cash exchange of $2 million per page.'
  10. 'Donald Trump seen naked at 3am in Central Park humping a chihuahua.'

Challenge: 50% of these headlines are real, can you spot which ones?

A truly inspiring story about titties. Upvoted and boosted.

Brisbane won the Olympics on an everything-is-already-built-so-no-blow-out-in-cost-likely campaign, and they were basically the only credible bid so got it with no contest. I think the Gabba is being upgraded because it was due for a face-lift anyway. Something like that - bris olympics is different situation.

And I think Bris Olympics only lacks accommodation facilities which will be built, then those apartments will very much help with the housing crisis after Olympics, so it all works and helps the city in the long run.

And pretty large satellite cities share the load, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, is a point of difference also.

Thats's my vague understanding, but don't quote me.

Just give him the legal aid then when his case is done start calling him constantly asking him to repay it because he wasn't actually eligible, sorry.

[-] b1_@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Just ignore him - he's a troll. The idea of Dutton overseeing the construction of a nuclear power plant in Australia is a horrifying thought.

Copy paste of my research:

Nostr

  • https://nostr.com/

  • https://nostr-resources.com/

  • https://nostr.com/clients

  • Nostr is a Twitter alternative that's decentralized, not a Reddit alternative.

  • Nostr is not P2P. Its a broadcast protocol. Nostr is pub/sub, distributed, decentralized; while others such as Matrix,mastodon, bluesky are federated and are somewhat closed than nostr.

  • Nostr is just a protocol - a structured way to send and receive data. Not tied to one-email or a centralizd service for identity. Anyone can create anything on top of nostr. (https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/14ea9y3/whats_the_difference_between_nostr_matrix/)

  • No, they (Nostr) are not doing ActivityPub. ActivityPub requires server-to-server communication, which Nostr does not have. They only have client-server communication. And the actual protocol is different to ActivityPub, all the way from the transport (which uses WebSockets rather than HTTP REST) to the schemas of the objects being passed. They also rely much more heavily on public key cryptography.

  • Nostr takes decentralization too far to be practical for a wide audience IMO. The relay model is even more abstract than Mastodon instances (which can at least be analogized to e-mail hosts) and the public/private key system is both inaccessible (copy/paste a key or look people up in a directory-- like a phone book! Friend codes on steroids) and unforgiving (no password resets). Like much of crypto, there are interesting ideas that don't seem practical in actual use. Curious if it pans out. (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

  • But unlike ActivityPub, the Nostr protocol is extensible with NIPS (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) so maybe there is hope to fix these problems (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

  • Browser addons:

    • Snort
    • Iris
    • Primal
  • Android app:

    • Plebstr
    • Amethyst (getting more updates than Plebstr)
  • Here is a link to most if not all Nostr clients if anyone is interested: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#clients

  • Here is a link of clients that Nostr themselves recommend if anyone is interested: https://nostr.com/clients

  • Full of Crypto-currency traders.

Radioactive roads could power the cars using them without the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil-fuel cars; combined with the self-driving car technology on the horizon, it's a far-sighted vision of the future that Ron Desantis should be applauded for - the one catch is every person who uses the roads is dead from cancer, but it's still a wonderful vision...just hope he doesn't use the roads while visualizing because he will lose his vision because of the radioactivity.
