These are all really good answers, but yours really nailed it for me. Such a fascinating development and change in infrastructure. Thank you for such a well thought out and informed reply.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that’s the only logical choice.

Same. The OP article is interesting, but was hoping for more than a few wiki links of past instances. Is there more verifiable evidence for this instance? Don’t doubt the claim, just curious.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

Can we stop calling them settlers, they are invaders.

Absolutely agree. I’d argue Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious is one of the greatest albums of all time. And that came out in 2002, eight years after Illmatic. Blazing Arrow is such a seamless and well thought out album from start to finish. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazing_Arrow

It takes maybe six months of skipping tracks

Lol, I look forward to good results by the end of the year? Maybe not the best algorithm after all.

I personally don’t have one particular way of discovering new music. It’s a mix of suggestions from different apps or friends. Shazam during movies and TV also helps guide some discoveries. Also just clicking through a rabbit hole of suggestions and marking stuff you like for future digging.

Thanks, I was caught off guard when I read ‘super majority’. The US HoR is pretty tight race.

They are but they had to leave their long time original location on 6th to the south side of town.

Thanks, haven’t seen that abbreviation before

What does fta mean?

Not trying to call you out or anything, just my googlefu couldn’t find anything about any government jobs that did this. All I found was companies and other countries that were trying it out.

I feel like it would be big news if that was an option for people seeking employment anywhere.

Which jobs give you four day weeks as of now?

I still think this is the biggest issue with lemmy right now. There should be a way for communities that are identical across instances that can connect where a post would be cross posted and connected with links to each instance it’s connected with.

The article mentions “Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment”. https://www.alliance4creativity.com/

Looks like a group that takes down piracy websites.

I assume MPA refers to “The Motion Picture Association”. They keep changing their name: “The MPA, originally called the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) and later the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)”, then abbreviated to MPA.

Just clarifying the abbreviations since it isn’t really explained/articulated in the article.

A bit misleading but yes, 1000km is what they are talking about. Also the article doesn’t address scalability.

Voyager is very similar to RIF. I’d recommend it highly.

“Today, the American military is for example using missile defense systems invented in Israel, from the Iron Dome to Trophy.” I just looked this up and it seems you are right, they created the system of defense but also had over 2 Billion in investment for the system. Would that defense exist without the support given? It’s a complicated issue but the brutal response doesn’t seem appropriate.

Gift of Gab / Blackalicious has always stayed positive and even have songs about coming up and having to change/adapt. Check 'em out!
