  • Thanks. Here's a screenshot. If I understand you, the answer is that if anyone from federated instance A subscribes from there to a community X on federated instance B, then community X's posts get cross-posted to instance B. But that doesn't explain cross-posting to specific communities on instance(s) B, so I think I'm missing your explanation.

  • Is an expensive mattress worth the money?

    Jump

  • Depends on what you can afford. Foam mattresses are easy, b/c you can have them shipped, but you can't try before you buy. Hybrid mattresses are popular. They have springs inside and foam on one side. You can't flip them over, like you can with old-fashioned mattresses. Recently, I saw in a Goodwill thrift shop, a decent hybrid mattress for little money. They have a deal with a US manufacturer. I know this b/c I needed a new mattress a couple of years ago. In the process of looking, I found a couple of online sites comparing different brands and types. I seem to remember they weren't affiliated with any sellers. If I'd saved the links, I'd share them. Figuring out exactly what they're selling and comparing between brands is complicated. Good luck. P.S., Low-quality foam deteriorates quicker than pricier foam.

  • Yup, but it's a question of whom society recognizes as smart. Bill and Hill met at Yale. They sold us a bill of good with free trade. They thought they could get away with Hillary crafting a national healthcare system, almost in secret, and that everyone would accept it b/s she's brilliant. Obama, Columbia/Harvard/Univ of Chicago, bailed out bankers, not home owners. That was a disaster.

    The term, best and brightest, came into common use in describing to the Kennedy adminstration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_and_the_Brightest They really bungled Vietnam.

    I don't know that we've ever been governed by the best and brightest. Sometimes I think we're governed by the most venal and greedy.

  • So, on pronouns.

  • Don't ask for other people to identify you, please.

  • Yup. Look at how the best-and-brightest theory worked out in the mid 20th century--e.g., the Clintons. Technocracy doesn't work.

  • Bonhoeffer says stupidity is a social thing. I mostly agree. Things didn't turn out well for Bonhoeffer. Shoveling against the tide is exhausting.

  • I knew that, but thanks. FF's advertisement hit me out of left field and offered things I already have. I've got Proton's new PW manager, which offers email aliases, but I'm used to doing it the old way.

    I didn't sign up for Yandex instead. I've had a Yandex account for a long time. Also, your comments aren't clear, but I don't care. 'Bye.

  • Thanks, everyone, for the info and education. I've just discovered and added Privacy Badger to FF. Tracking makes me feel slimed.
