I thought that was 2% energy consumption growth, not 2% GDP growth. And it's retarded because no one in history has ever found out how to increase effeciency.

The only privacy feature that really works is not using social media.

Here's a crazy business idea. An airline but without black "people".

Not my team. They are 3rd party API services.
The tradeoff is between ingesting one query that has a lot of load on the backend and a bunch of queries that each have a smaller load but combined have a greater one. If a query takes too long, the smarter thing to do is to push it into a background job and give the caller a URL to fetch the result later. I don't know if common GQL tooling supports this, but this is the proper solution.
And no, it's not the same as handing out unrestricted access to your DB any more than REST is. It's an alternative way to make APIs, not a SQL replacement.
Edit: GQL also helps resolve the "problem" of corporate silos, even if it wasn't relevant to my specific case. It is a serious issue, and reducing the need for communication between different teams that are in different stages of the SDLC is a very good thing.

The advantage of REST API there is that everyone uses the SAME request, so they get cached. If you add query parameters to determine what fields get returned, those become separate requests so they can't be cached together.
/api/my_object and /api/my_object?fields=a,b are two different requests, so the only technical advantage of REST API is gone. All consumers of the API need to be calling /api/my_object for caching to work between those two consumers. The same is true for things like including children and filters.
But including children is by far the best advantage of GraphQL. With a REST API, you would need to custom code a /api/my_object?include=my_child parameter for it to work. It can be done, but it all has to be custom and I hardly ever see it done in practice. GraphQL makes it trivial to not only include children but filter and select fields for them, too.
For a REAL WORLD example, I regularly have to call REST and GQL APIs at work. With REST APIs, I regularly end up making THOUSANDS of individual requests to get all the information that I need, while I can pack everything from GQL APIs into a SINGLE request (plus pagination). The GQL takes a lot less time and is far simpler.

We should do this off the internet, too.

It only shuts down conversation if you let it. Just keep talking. That's all you have to do.

Musk actually killed it this morning. The H1Bs that work there actually did the needful and pulled the plug while they look for new employment so that US immigration services don't do the needful.

Yeah, this is an artifact of journalists having no idea what they are talking about when they talk about technology. They don't understand that Poast is not Soapbox, and that Truth Social has a similar relationship to Soapbox as it has with Mastodon. Yet guilt-by-association only goes in one direction. If they are going to slander us by associating us with Trump, they should at least have the courtesy to do the same to Gargon and the mastogroomers.

Truth Social uses Mastodon on the backend and Soapbox on the frontend.

I've heard that they are now looking into adding quotes. Adding features like that shouldn't make an impact on the overall security of mastodon.

This might be a hot take, but we should have forked mastodon instead of pleroma. We would have had the ability to start with a saner database design, too.

The entire point of Marxism was to liberalize the identities of the working class. It was trying to define a collectivism around something vague and malleable, like "class" instead of something concrete, like race. He then took this vague concept and used it to advocate for a class war. It has exclusively been used by jews to divide the working class and subvert its interests.

Sounds like a skill issue. A bunch of us here on fedi are the White nationalists you said you wanted to get into contact to, so if you want an overview of our ideology and what we believe from our own words, we can give that to you.
Nationalism is a very simple ideology. We share a group identity and we believe that the interests of that group identity is more important than the interests of any of our individual identities. This is the framework that we use to judge policy: who it benefits, not whether the policy itself adheres to ideological principals. This is also not a statement that the individual doesn't exist: we also believe that you can't really have a strong individual identity without also being a part of a strong collective to back you up. And lastly, we believe that our state should be organized to advance our nation's interests.

Compared to what the telescope was designed to look at, yes.

It's actually worse than that. The HST wasn't designed to take pictures of things that are this close to the Earth, move this quickly relative to the Earth, and are this bright. It was designed for taking pictures of things that are really really far away. That is why there aren't that many good pictures of the moon from the HST.

You say NASA but what specific telescope are you referring to? And what specific image are you referring to?
NASA's missions typically are centered around gathering more specific research data instead of just taking pretty pictures. They weren't spending billions of dollars to just take pretty pictures of the moon, which is close enough that you can get pretty pictures of without going into space.
NASA isn't efficient with the money they spend, and has organizational issues, but that doesn't mean that all the money they are currently spending is JUST being thrown down the drain. Nor does it mean that everything spend on NASA in all of its history was just wasted.
