@tripu If you are reading this forget about the 90 days. The question is whether it will happen or not. If it does happen you don't want all your wealth to be in US dollars or an allied currency.
Unless you are 100% convinced that fiat currencies are fine and they will not collapse, in which case you can carry on and have no action to take, you would be wise to hedge your savings into assets that cannot be debased by central banks.
100% agree!

It's not about which social media is best.
It's about in who's hands the power of social media exists.
Facebook, Twitter, SkyBlue, TickTock, WeChat, Whatsapp, etc all owned by corporations. You are a product there.
In the Fediverse, you are a user. You are a participant rather then an exchange of goods.
One uses you, the other asks to be used by you.
Where do you think your time is best served?
The whole of #SlateStarCodex (#AstralCodexTen) [summarised down to one paragraph by a redditor](https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/139ko17/comment/jj2zwz8/):
> _“Science is hard. Coordination is hard. Change is coming. Be kind to each other.”_
Get this:
In prosperous liberal democracies, #women either are better educated and wealthier than #men — or will be very soon.
Women can freeze their eggs, get inseminated for free or paying very little (or pay a bit more to pick and choose the “best” semen online), become the sole parents of fatherless children… and society does not only not bat an eyelid at this, but their stories are usually met with admiration in the media and get support (eg, in the form of subsidies for single mothers).
Meanwhile, #surrogacy is highly controversial, and actually illegal in roughly half of the Western world.
So, women can be picky, ambitious and independent and still have kids. But men can't.
It's a near future (almost a present already) of children without male role models, and of men falling behind in three areas: fewer kids, less education, and less money than women.
Guess who is the main victim here? Who's to blame? Who society should help?

@tripu I'm so glad you got me into April #dailyphoto so many years ago.
I don't share them publicly anymore but I love looking back and showing people.
I will keep doing it for the test of my life.
…and with this fine #dailyphoto I conclude another year's assignment.
It's been 16 Aprils in a row, uninterrupted since 2008 😊

Sunday 30 April was the 30th anniversary of the release of the Web into the public domain, for general use, and at no cost. Coralie Mercier noted that this quiet gesture, was advocated by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and has changed our lives.

I'm no expert on this, but I like the idea of not mixing licences when training models. It's only fair and logical. We pick licences for a reason.
But I fear it's not feasible.

In the series “I find the #TimeLapse #VideoProcess of #art completely mesmerizing!”
Here’s my #drawing of Ganesha in black ink with a flat brush, again without a sketch!
The pencil shading effect is achieved by using the wet ink until the brush has dried enough that the ink can be smeared on paper.
Mesmerizing it is!
Yes, it comes to my mind too, when I think of trapped #AGIs trying to trick their human captors into letting them escape.
But then, it's fiction. Not an argument :) That's why I don't use it in debates.
