Biden's Farewell Message
President Joe Biden's farewell message is reminiscent of Eisenhower's, in that both warned about a takeover of government by a small cabal of self-interested billionaires.
However, like most things Biden...and I love the guy...he's a little late with his message.
The astounding speed with which the billionaire tech bros and MAGA moron zealots have inserted themselves into the decision-making of the incoming administration is one big difference.
Another difference is that this newer group is into "breaking things," not making things -- except massive profits for themselves.
A third difference is that this group is taking a "whole of government" approach, not just focusing on one department's budget.
Finally, this bunch is introducing us to something worse than an oligarchy. They are bringing us a kakistocracy, rule by the incompetent.
We are in for a rough ride. You can be sure that America's rivals for world leadership will be happy to exploit these transactional idiots. Buckle up. Such a shame. We are becoming Russia, maybe just Hungary, but with the Three Stooges in charge. Sad.

I am vaguely aware of something called Lemmy, which is similar to Reddit, including the inability to delete posts. Why, I don't know. Anyway, I read that it can interact with Friendica. But I'm confused regarding finding forums, joining them, and posting to them. Usually, I go to a website, enter friendica.world, am taken to my homepage, and then authorise the connection. But this seems different. Can anyone help me? Also, I primarily use Tweesecake, not the main site, so I have no idea what the bit about widgets means.

Trying out a new #Fediverse app each day (Day 2)
Today's app is pixelfed.social, a fediverse alternative to Instagram
Pros: I have only been using pixelfed for a couple of days, but with a limit of 20 images and videos per post, it seems to do just about everything I would normally use Instagram for. Content discovery is decent with a Discover feed, but it obviously needs more users.
Cons: The site is a bit slow to load/reload and lacks the ability to "like" or comment on a post without clicking on it to open it into its own page. Oftentimes you must scroll to get to the "like" button and comments.
Overall Score: 5 out of 10, but there is a lot of potential there!

Harm Reduction bezüglich Cannabis
Aufgrund der #prohibition wurden mir manche Dinge nicht beigebracht und ich habe meine eigenen Erfahrungen gesammelt, welche ich hier jungen Menschen oder unreflektierten Konsumenten als gut gemeinte Tipps weitergeben möchte. Ist primär für Freizeitkonsumenten von #cannabis gedacht.
