The Selfish Gene.
As soon as the concept clicked halfway through the book my days as an evangelical were over.
It was interesting to me to hear years later that Wall Street types found it influential, because the thing I found most compelling was the explanation of why altruism and social generosity were rational traits.

Thanks for clarifying, I was worried for a second.

Totally possible and something you can do already with digital ID. Checkout RealMe in New Zealand: https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/proving-and-protecting-your-identity/use-realme-to-prove-your-identity-online/

A big issue is that many countries are a decade behind in implementing this system. They’re effectively asking the liquor store to check customers are 18, without government ID existing. So now the private sector is creating ID solutions to avoid legal liability. It’s a real mess.

Freedom - https://freedom.to/

A very powerful cross platform website/app blocker with a lifetime membership option. Works well for blocking multiple fediverse domains.

That and space, think of the cost of having an extra room in the house for all that stuff.

Is there a spot in Montreal that has a regular gathering of guys playing chess? You know that classic New York scene where you can show up and play some games.

 

I've had a small mastodon instance for over a year and recently decided to get to the bottom of why the "Explore" tab hardly ever recommended any posts.

"Nothing is trending right now. Check back later!"

When I was a programmer I never used ruby, but reading through the code I think it's down to a hard threshold of 5 minimum interactions for something to even be considered for the trending algorithm. This makes it hard to meet theses conditions on instances with a small number of active users.

 

I've been working on a guide to getting started on Lemmy. What do you think I should add?

 

Posted this over at [email protected] and it was suggested I put it here too.
