Midwest hit by wave of Canadian wildfire smoke haze: What to expect
  • I used to live in Oregon and had to bear the wildfire smoke several summers, sometimes for months. We moved to Wisconsin a few years ago and the lack of wildfires was one of the upsides... and yet, here we are back in the smoke. ugh.

  • Lemmy just passed 1 million users!
  • I guess this is a potential disadvantage to decentralization. With a centralized site, the owner would have a vested interest in the security of the site because culpability for stolen passwords or other nefarious things would fall back to them. Here, with a decentralized model, instance owners can manipulate the particular instance to not match others and do nefarious things. Up to now I had only heard of the benefits of decentralization and hadn't thought of this. Food for thought perhaps. All it takes is a few or even one nefarious instance (if its bad enough) to spoil the general public's thought on this model.

  • The past year of research has made it very clear: Trump won because of racial resentment
  • This is why I didn't get it when all the news outlets would make a big deal out of some racist thing or other that Trump did while campaigning, it was obvious that the demographic of votes he was trying to win was the racist vote. Like so many other things, the media just played into his hands and what would be bad press to anybody else made him stronger.

    I'm not going to say that we are on the worst timeline, but I'd definitely like to be on a better one.
