By mass or by volume?
That means that the UK has actually provided about 20% more aid as a fraction of their GDP (0.212%) compared to the US (at 0.173%).
Storing it as a sparse graph should reduce the storage requirements drastically, since most edges wouldn’t exist.
They also don’t get access to all the data that I think is most invasive (federated or not). I expect my posts, comments, votes, and follows on a public forum to be public. I don’t expect which posts I open, which comments I read, and how long I view each one for (a much larger and more invasive pool of data) to be public, and that’s what I don’t want Meta to get. By not using threads, they don’t get that. By using threads (or any Meta product) they do get that, and they probably use it to shovel more ads in your face.
While I am a little cautious of the possibility of EEE, I feel like the majority of fediverse users are anti-corporation and relatively technically informed, and would anticipate any attempts to extinguish it would be poorly received and ineffective. (Edit: although I do think this argument is reasonable and haven’t really decided whether I think federating with threads is a good idea)
Either way, federating with threads won’t give them any non-public information, which is substantially better than if you used their products directly. The other information is there for anyone to grab, so it’s kind of weird to complain about them reading it. If you put up a sign in your yard, you wouldn’t complain about people who walk by reading it.
I believe Canada allows religious marriage (you don’t have to get a marriage license in that case, it’s not a civil ceremony).
Edit: you can also have a civil marriage ceremony, which is also legally valid
That is true in the US, but there are many counties where religious marriage is legal marriage.
Why not just call it a community?
Oh that makes sense, I don’t know why I couldn’t figure it out.
