I was never a huge twitter user... 4K followers and decent interaction.. I just found it an uninteresting place...
Anyway I used to check in cause I'd have a bunch of notifications a day. But now I dont get notifications for week (despite cross posting there still).
I got the first notification in a while and bothered to log in again and check it.... LOL "Today is your X anniversary"... hell it is, I never signed up to X... not a notification in sight...
X is dead.
@devolute I mean this seriously.. but this might be an oppertunity for a really great project. Especially if you generalize, why dont you do it?
Im thinking a service that allows for general service preference of users and automatically linking... would work like this:
All links for a map would point to the URL of this service with a special format... wouldnt just be maps, can be anything tha has the nature of a universal resource that can be consumed by a number of services... like music with spotify, pandora, etc all as possible endpoints right.
Then if a user goes to the link who has never signed up or use the service it just automatically transfers them to a default transparently, so it looks no different than it does now.
However anyone can sign up for an account there and select their prefered service for various types of links.. this gives you a login and a cookie so its automatic... now when you click those same links you transparently get forwarded to the service of your choice.
What i love here is 1) its easy to do 2) it solves your problem for the whole net if people use it and adopt it 3) even if no one adopts it it still will accomplishw hat you want for your own websites so day one you get what you want out of the box on sites you author.

@curtis Ok so no surprise, now that I did a quick check its not all how Musk seems to represent it... They were picked up in the mediteranian by italian boats and dropped off at the closest country to be handled...
Elon makes it sound like they are shipping italian illegal immigrants to italy or something, not rescuing them from the sea and dropping them off at wherever is objectively closest.
@curtis Thank you.
@thelmadeejay Well you probably rock in other ways, no worries.
@curtis can I get a link to what this is discussing?
@thelmadeejay Saw you favorite something and noticed your name. Are you a Thelemite, I always follow a thelemite :) ?
@thatguyoverthere As for what "legal" means the confusion goes both ways..
You say people should be allowed to interfere.. suggesting you are ok with a group of people getting together saying "that thing that guy doesnt isnt right" (we would call that a law) and then they go and act like police and enforce it...
So your ok with governments forming on the spot to address it (Tahts what that is) whenever they want... sounds like your just doing government with extra steps.
So a person who lives in isolationa nd self sufficient (so no people around to care) .. that person should be free to torture this children as long as they want.... so long as they can get away with it?
@thatguyoverthere then your answer was true, clearly its not nature but some other factor... so how do we determine at what age a parent should no longer have dictator control over their kid?
im not disagreeing with you, im sincerely asking... if i lock my kid in a basement at 40, as long as nature lets me get away with it, then it should be legal?
@thatguyoverthere so what does that mean? Like if i have a hild and keep him locked in the basement it should be legal to do so evne if im still doing it to my child when he is 40 or 50?
@thatguyoverthere if the govt didnt get involved how would the parents get the authority?
It can and is... the government determines when you are eligible... the criteria they use is age. Morover the government determines when you arent of age the right to decide for you goes to your parents, it is the government that transfers your right to the parent and enforces, ergo it is both.
> In my proposed solution parents of an 8 yo who think he might pass a driving yrst could approve.
This is indeed a good counter example... normally with **most** things its as I said the government apply age as a limit on when your rights transfer to the parents.
But as you point out some things the government doesnt let the parent decide at all...
> As far as elder care goes I think it does largely rest on the family.
while family may encourage them not to drive if they cant, ultimately legally they cant do much unless they prove they are a risk in some way. That isnt easy.
Neither of these solutions in either case is acceltable to me.

Hey I need some really minor data entry work done... something like 300 lines of tabular hand written data (easy to read) entered into whats adif format... there are free open source programs you can use to enter it and export to adif...
Willing to pay like 40$ for someone to do this for me (ill paypal or cashapp or whatever), and id send photos of the hand written data.
Only catch is youd have to trust me, ill pay when the adif is received not before. Hit me up in DM if anyone is interested.
This is for personal reasons, non-commercial.
@mjambon While certasinly not the norm gifted children are able to read as early as 2 years old. My mom often brags how I was able to read at 2 years old... I was also fully capable of holding a conversation at that age...
Should I and children like me, be allowed alcohol? I dont know if at 2 i actually asked but it would not surprise me if i saw my grandfather drinking one that at 2 I might ask to have some also.
