பேரளவு உற்பத்தி இல்லாததால் தான் விலை அதிகமாக இருக்கிறது. என்ன பண்ணுவது...

I have no idea what the climate in your part of the world is like. But, do ceiling fans not help?

It's youtube, and the page won't load if you don't have javascript enabled. Try using youtube-dl. That's what I do. I don't run the javascript either.

I always felt that SciShow was a little naive and overly establishment friendly. I like their science, but sometimes find their optimism unjustified. In particular about this episode on pesticides, maybe well designed and properly used pesticides (natural or artificial) are fine. But, I am unable to trust pesticide manufacturers to do the necessary research, and agro business to refrain from pesticide abuse.

And, yes, there does seem to be good evidence that neonicotinoids adversely affect bees. Don't know if SciShow has just committed an innocent error, or if this is indicative of deeper bias.

rss-bridge has done wonders for my ability to keep up with a lot of different blogs, youtube channels, etc.

https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/

I have considered writing bots that can bring content from outside the fediverse into it (say, by autoposting links to videos from an youtube channel), but really rss-bridge and feed readers are so much better. They are also private in the sense that I don't have to broadcast to the world who I am following.

I want a future where people can keep their streets clean without worrying that making the neighborhood nicer might drive up their landlords property values, and thence their rent, driving them out of their homes.

  FST-01 with Heat Shrink Tube is a tiny USB 32-bit computer, an abbreviation of “Flying Stone Tiny ZERO-ONE”. “Minimalist Design” is the goal chased during the development. All unnecessary things were cut to make it concise and tidy. Two applications are intended for FST-01. They are Gnuk(the Cryptographic Token for GnuPG) and NeuG(True Random Number Generator based on ADC noise). The board is covered by transparent heat shrink tube. Thus, it is not possible to access SWD port. This can be for daily use, as a Gnuk Token.

I certainly agree that the present situation with self hosting is painful. But, I am optimistic that things will get better in time. In particular, I'd be happy to see the day when all (or at least most) applications are P2P and do not require us to maintain servers with their associated single points of failure.

@tshrinivasan You can check the status of instances from here https://instances.social/ and as @prassee suggests, I also support we start the first mastodon instance in India and we shall reach out to first the FOSS communities, Regional communities like writers, poets in tamil and bring them into it. But like https://social.coop we should look at managing and funding the platform as a #cooperative

All it costs to fulfill the average person's needs for digital services is a $5 per month VPS instance. It's even cheaper if you buy a single board computer and host your services at home.
We've been letting companies steal our personal data and sell it to the highest bidder and destroying democracy in the process all to save what? A coffee a month?
This is one of the worst deals in history.

I think a lot of people have a wrong idea about is that they'll recognize when their country corrupts itself. That getting groceries will just somehow *feel* different for them.
What's hard to fathom is that there very well might be *no* immediate personal impact for them.
This is why attending to the marginal in society produces clarity, whereas distance inhibits judgement. Reliance on personal experience produces a myopia that's exacerbated to the extent it's distanced from this exposure.
