That’s a good question, Rotting Cum. The only crimes I’m planning on right now are saving some money doing diy maintenance on the family car while finding an interesting little project for myself.

I’m running a Pixelfed instance off of an old PC in my house. Eventually I 'd like to set up a personal Lemmy instance as well.

Where? I’m not a fan of her, but Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax proposal is just a way to capture some more revenue (to do the things I mentioned) on a more progressive basis. There aren’t really any claims here about fixing inequality.

Take another shower. Taxes aren’t used to fix inequality. They’re used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They’re also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn’t to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn’t make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn’t happening.

Well, I’d definitely get the lawyers and CPAs to make sure that bag is secure and protect my family’s privacy as much as possible. After that…

• I’d hire a high-end architect to renovate my home.
• I’d hire a personal trainer to help my family get really fit.
• I’d buy a big vacation for our extended families.
• Buy a less family-friendly vacation for our friends.
• Hire a therapist so I don’t go insane.
• There’s a small, vacant movie theater in my town. I’d buy it and get it up and running again.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. It’s an open source alternative to Instagram based on ActivityPub, like Mastodon and Lemmy. In terms of functionality I think it’s better than Instagram. There are no ads or sinister algorithms; I can select and copy text; I can easily reshare posts I like; and I can include working hyperlinks in my posts and replies.

The main benefits to running your own instance are that you don’t have to rely on anyone else to keep the site running and you can decide for yourself about federating or not with other instances. For me it’s also just a fun little DIY project to set up and maintain my own server.

Yes, I decided to host my own Pixelfed instance and I needed a URL. Still working out the kinks. Apparently, replying to a comment from a Lemmy user doesn’t work properly.

Lol wtf

Lol I had that one on cassette.

No tulip trees, just a bunch of maples, a few oaks, and one black walnut. There’s about 1/6 of an acre behind us in the photo with a cemetery beyond that. Plenty of space for the kiddo to romp around and the critters love it too.

Thanks! We were very lucky to get this house.

Good dog.

AntennaPod is pretty great. Apparently it’s compatible with a synchronizing service called gpodder, which I believe you can run yourself.

Blame!

You’re kind of talking about different things. Copyright should of course be abolished along with all private property. I don’t rule out compensation to your estate for organs harvested after death and there should definitely be a public bounty/reward system to encourage the living to donate.

You shouldn’t be able to opt out, or at least it should be very difficult to do so, because when you are dead what you have a say in that affects the living should be very limited, because those organs won’t matter to you anymore, and because those organs might matter very much to living people. Whether you trust society or not doesn’t matter anymore when you are dead.

Because living people who are sick might need those organs, which would otherwise just go to waste in your corpse. Also, it good to have a steady supply of organs from the deceased in order to avoid perverse and exploitative market situations.

This would be a nice upgrade for my wife and I. We’ve been using a knockoff Rubbermaid for ages. Putting it on the future project list.

Hmmm okay, but it has to be difficult to opt-out, kind of like how conscientious objectors have to go through a whole process to get out of military service.

No. Organ “donation” after death should be compulsory. For living donors there should be a publicly funded bounty system where you either take the money or not. Donors and recipients don’t get to be picky.
