The "when transporting a large number of people" is quite a caveat. Sure ok high saturation of public transport / walkable cities is probably achievable with high population density, but in rural / regional areas it's just not possible.

Trump Shares Poll Result Predicting 'Revenge' And 'Dictatorship' As Top Priorities in c/[email protected]

I have some great ideas: improve education, reduce inequality, introduce preferential voting.

Seriously though, these problems are occuring the world over. I'm not an anthropologist but IMO the root cause is income inequality. Basically the working class are increasingly dissatisfied and the frustration manifests in very strange ways. There's no fix for this other than societal collapse as a result of economic, environmental, or societal unrest. This part of the cycle will probably take 300 years or so, depending on the whole climate change thing.

They'd only get thrown in jail if they weren't willing to bend over for the new regime, and they've already shown that they're very willing to do that.

that point is nearly impossible to define

As with any law, there will undoubtedly be cases in which it is difficult to discern whether or not a law has been broken, but courts decide on innocence or guilt in such cases every day. A jury would be asked to decide whether a a reasonable third party is likely to conclude on the balance of probabilities that the image depicts a person who is under 18.

Whether or not the depicted person is real or imagined is not relevant in many / most jurisdictions.

Since no one else has said it... 80 days podcast:

80 Days is a podcast dedicated to exploring little-known countries, territories settlements and cities around the world. We're part history podcast, part geography podcast and part ramble. Each episode, we'll land in a new locale and spend some time discussing the history, geography, culture, sport, religion, industry, pastimes and music of our new location.

I guess I'm kind of asking / supposing, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if lemmy / activitypub doesn't really work that way.

As in, posts to feddit.uk are stored on feddit.uk. If you read a thread from sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] then sh.itjust.works server will pull it down from feddit.uk and show you the post. It may even cache a copy of the post to show it to another user, but that's not the same as backing up the post.

I was gonna say. the phrase "double income no kids" arose in the 90s when "single income + kids" was a possibility.

Elder Race (4.14 : 12,718)

In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe. Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself).

The Road to Roswell (3.91 : 1005)

When level-headed Francie arrives in Roswell, New Mexico, for her college roommate’s UFO-themed wedding—complete with a true-believer bridegroom—she can’t help but roll her eyes at all the wide-eyed talk of aliens, which obviously don’t exist. Imagine her surprise, then, when she is abducted by one.

Light Bringer / Red Rising #6 (4.59 : 510)

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Implacable / Outlands #3 (4.51 : 388)

As far from explored space as any human has ever been, Geary and the Alliance fleet are on their own, protecting a diplomatic mission in territory belonging to an alien species with still-unknown motives. His already complex and dangerous mission is further imperiled by deadly challenges from other human factions seeking to harm or exploit the aliens. When another alien species whose technology is far more advanced than humanity’s arrives, the stakes are raised to the highest possible level.

Space Raideres / Space Raiders #1 (4.33 : 344)

After years of searching, Nathan Briggs is finally on the verge of making an incredible discovery. Unfortunately, the aliens have other plans. When Nathan stops a brutal attack on an unsuspecting victim, he gets more than he bargained for and sets into motion events that will change his life forever. They told him he should’ve run away, and maybe they were right. Nathan is about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Aliens are real. He has something they need, and they’re not the only ones hunting for it.

Favourite Characters (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Joshua Gayou's Commune, Book 2 read by R.C. Bray contains a character called Gibbs. Hands down the best character I've heard brought to life by a Narrator.

Honestly I don't like the book that much. Firstly there's not much story, it's just the author rolling out their idea of a subsistence commune in a narrative, and I suspect the author and I have vastly different ideological views.

... but Gibbs made it worth listening to. An ex marine with a penchant for colourful language. Bray and Gayou really created something special.

VOIP + SMS in Australia (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Sorry if this isn't really on topic but I'm sick of going around in circles and signing up for things that can't do what they say on the tin.

I have a small business, and I'd like my staff and I to be able to send and receive SMS to & from clients using a web-ui or maybe even android app.

To be clear, this isn't any sort of marketing or whatever. We SMS clients to ask questions about jobs we're doing for them.

It looks like 3CX is the best PABX platform perhaps? Then I need a SIP Trunk with SMS support - and most SIP providers say they provide SMS, but the SMS functionality doesn't seem to integrate with 3CX.

It looks like 3CX definitely has SMS support, and I can see screen caps of configuration for SMS support in 3CX, but in the hosted instance provided by 3cx.com those options are not present.

So I think my question is... can 3cx support SMS in Australia? If so what is the best SIP Trunk to use for that purpose? If not, is there any other platform that will allow that?

You should know this because finding communities on lemmy can be tough.

Has this instance already blocked threads ? If not, is there any appetite for that ?

I suspect that this will be an important consideration for many users choice-of-instance in the future.
