Voter ID is not as controversial as you think & most Americans support it.

Yeah. 𝕏 was purchased by 𝕏AI in an all stock deal, & the latter is now owned by SpaceX.

Certified birth certificates can be easily obtained (I had to do this years ago as my birth certificate was decades old) via authorized third party companies or from the birth state itself.
Many people do not have passports, but most have drivers licenses & many states offer free state ID with photo for anyone who asks (including homeless people).
Using a photo ID is not horrific. People use them every day to buy things & for travel.

I have no issues with voter ID laws provided the state allows residents—even homeless people—to register for a state photo ID for free (the latter which many DMV’s provide).
Confirming your identity using a passport (which I use), drivers license, or state photo ID is reasonable, as you need these anyways to purchase guns, airline tickets, cigarettes 🚬 or alcohol 🍺.

All #SpaceX does is win, win…win‽ But honestly, this gives #ElonMusk far more power over employees as well as a way to thwart potential strikes.
Yes, SpaceX is critical for #America 🇺🇸 & many other nations. But it is also a failure of meaningful competition against the private space agency—not just in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸, but on planet Earth.

I am not surprised after he interrupted a church ⛪️ service along with anti #ICE 🧊 protesters.
If you are going to protest ICE 🧊 agents, peacefully protest ICE 🧊 while they are out in the streets. Not at their house, & not at house of worship.

That is an option, but many folks in the #Fediverse might be wary of relying on #Google or #Meta.
It will not be long before an Age Verification company that makes plugins for #WordPress will create a premium workaround for #Mastodon sites.

It technically is the same over here in America 🇺🇸. The problem is the GOP are constantly purging voter registrations for pseudo nobale causes.

Hezbollah has been shooting rockets into Israel 🇮🇱 since October 8th non-stop, & even mentioned they did it out of “solidarity” with Hamas.
👉🏾 What is Hezbollah? Lebanon’s 🇱🇧 armed group supporting Hamas in its war with Israel 🇮🇱 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/what-is-lebanons-hezbollah-2023-10-08/
After the October 7th attacks, there is no way Israel 🇮🇱 will allow Hamas to remain a threat to their nation.
As far as peace talks go, they all seem to break down once discussions involve Jerusalem.

So far Apple will not launch their AI within the European Union 🇪🇺 (Apple Intelligence) but the trade off is that EU folks get access to third party app stores.
It is similar to Meta, who declined ActivityPub support for EU users on Threads, but they get the ability to experience Instagram without ads for a fee.

Apple would unofficially support them, but the official stores would disappear.

You can request early access to federate your Flipboard profile here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C7VQY5K
I would also contact @npub17fe…w0a6 as I think he would not mind granting you early access, especially so that you can test compatibility with WordPress.
