@leo @philshapiro Thanks for expressing that so clearly. I have posted about supporting the Mastodon Patreon and am supporting, but I also support, at much higher levels, two of the servers/instances I’m on. That feels right to me: $10 a year to the big org, at least for now, to support what they do, and $5-10 a month to my homes here.

@linuxtechmore @glitchontwitch The most obvious feature in Chrome that’s got an edge on Firefox is the profiles thing. Firefox’s new container thing is a step forward, but not nearly as functional. Still, that’s not enough to stick with Chrome.

(Picture of 2018 Student Climate Strike in Australia. The then Prime Minister Scott Morrison said something like that students should focus on their studies not social activism. Being Aussies, the students took that to heart, as you can see, and focused on an acutely accurate assessment of Morrison’s leadership.)

@strypey @dannyman NZ is also the country that gave us Bro Town, so obviously Kiwis rock. And I saw that as an Aussie so that's pretty serious.I haven't watched NZ tv for quite a while, but it was also WAAAYYYYY less inundated with drug ads. These days, I feel like the only ads on American TV are for football, cars and (not fun) drugs.

I knew that healthcare spending and results in the US were worse than in various European countries...But I had no idea they were this bad.The US spends more than 3 times as much as Italy on healthcare, but still has an average life expectancy that is four years lower.If you allow for "statistical" deaths, it becomes clear that the health insurance and for-profit healthcare industries in the United States are killing tens of thousands a year and the only consequence they face is... increased profits.With #UnitedHealthcare one of the major beneficiaries of this profiting off death
