That’s surprising given how close you are to recreational use legalization. Here in Poland MM is legal but we don’t have any producers and get fair chunk from Germany (Aurora Deutschland, 420 Pharma).

At the same time medical marijuana business got so silly that you basically go to a website, fill out a form, pay ~€20 fee and get an e-prescription in a couple of hours. There’s been some ineffective attempts at cracking down on it in the past weeks that resulted in slight fee increase.

Medical marijuana is legal in Germany. If OP needs it for health reasons he could go through legitimate process.

THC will cause anxiety and paranoia if your tolerance is low or you use particularly stimulating cannabis strain. This is where CBD is very useful because it decreases psychedelic effect. You can use either a balanced strain (equal or similar THC / CBD content) or supplement CBD in other form.

Whoa, this looks awesome and I do have always on server for Usenet/Plex and Homebridge.

Thanks!

[edit] Installed and working great but I had to change os.exit() to sys.exit() in one of the files, looks like it’s not compatible with recent Python versions out of the box. Converted into system.d daemon, now working 24/7.

You can also use Apple TV which is hands down best streaming box, use ATV remote on your couch without faffing with computers and pay for good service that YouTube and content creators on YouTube provide.

It’s easy to avoid paying but the experience is just worse.

And if you’re really short on cash, subscribe from Argentina or India and pay ~$2.

Don’t know about Android but on iOS health information is something that an app can request on OS level.

There are valid uses for this, for example hearing level measurements from third party app can be added to Health app and then used for adjusting equalizer for AirPods via accessibility options. Or your menstrual cycle (although that probably won’t make your AirPods sound better) or many other data points. This is what Threads is trying to access.

It’s not about what you post but what data will Threads/Twitter/FB apps will trick you into sharing on system level (location etc).

I like author bio:

Lev Golinkin (…) His writing on the Ukraine crisis, Russia, the far right, and immigrant and refugee identity has appeared in (…)

What’s Ukraine crisis? Do they mean genocidal war that russian nazis wage against Ukraine?

Will Meta try to fuck over Fediverse? Very likely.

Is it mutually beneficial to be federated? Yes.

Mastodon will never be the biggest player around for microblogging because too many people nope out when presented with server selection, even with defaults.

Take whatever users you can now. Threads app has no “following” chronological timeline, probably never will. Show people you can do that from Mastodon and it’s clients.

It’s likely that one of the reasons Meta is using Activity Pub is upcoming EU regulations on electronic platform gatekeepers. They will have to open them in some way anyway. It’s likely regulators will be checking if Meta is playing nice with Threads.

Threads can try to EEE Mastodon but so can Mastodon. Mastodon can fuck over Threads in many ways too, mostly by providing better experience and it’s better than isolating.

If Fediverse is successful and reddit continues its descent then I can see it in 5-10 years, similar to how Digg tried to reimagine itself to stay relevant.

The Verge peeps are rather enthusiastic about Activity Pub based platforms, I wouldn’t attribute bad intent there.

Linux is used by most of the world but it’s either backend where techies take care of things or super streamlined experiences like Android etc.

I knew this part would ruffle some feathers since whomever is reading it here is probably on board with Lemmy/Kbin.

I do think that for many it’s too early but there’s now significant interest into making everything a bit more stable and streamlined. I think Mastodon is already there but it is suffering from bad rep from their own waves of migration. I’m a bit worried it’ll be the same for Lemmy.
