Looks interesting, would suggest going with Solana over Ethereum though, especially in 2024.


Solana is heavily centralized and doesn't offer any scalability advantage over the new breed of onchain Ethereum rollups like Base.


Not opposed to doing a Solana variant!


Ethereum is more widely adopted and vastly more robust/decentralized.


This seems similar (or identical?) to Jodel (jodel.com).


Hey, sorry, I didn't initially see this comment. It looks like Jodel could be similar if you were to set up a Habitat instance that exclusively didn't allow for locations to be attached to any post, but that's not what I have in mind, and it's not how my instance will be set-up, because the location attached to the post is what I'm seeing as one of the main purposes of Habitat. In most cases, I envision a post representing an exact location. Perhaps a building, a country park, or a monument or something. Jodel looks like generic discussions that are filtered by proximity, which Habitat would have also by nature of federation, but the posts will be about places, and focused around a map-location of those places.


> For eg pigeons, what limits the population?

Not an expert myself but here in Germany people build pigeon shelters and swap out the eggs with fake eggs.


A codified law is "mostly posturing"?


I’ll ask again, can you cite any example of an Israeli Arab being denied any legal right under that law?

Posted under a throwaway because I am legitimately afraid for my employment for touching this issue.


They’re not Israeli citizens.


I used to love the eyezmaze games and for about a year or so, I would eagerly await the next instalment in the series. Recently I learned that the developer has cancer and his wife seems to have left him. I think his Twitter also went silent a while ago. Very sad, considering how much joy these games brought me and certainly countless others in the mid-2000s.

Edit: it wasn’t cancer but a heart defect of some sort.


Can’t edit my comment from Octal for some reason. It wasn’t cancer but some sort of heart defect.


I speak 3,5 languages, but I’m not a developer / engineer. Should I still try to apply?


Was expecting Bilderbuch.



Aren’t there voices citing health risks that are more substantial than your average conspiracy theory though?


I believe so yes, you are correct, But when our governments allow the amount of cars (pollution), legal smoking, legal alcohol, Highest GP prescription rates ever, additives in food, chocolate and carbonated drink.

Does 5G really seem that bad for your help when 90+% (Not backed by science - statistic) do at least one of the above.

I think there are bigger issues to fix first.


I like your angle. It is interesting (although I am not sure if your list is fully hazardous). But is that what we have come to? That there is so many hazards and health risks out there that one more should not matter. It sounds to me that you are laying brickstones on the road to dystopia. It is not a sound argument that we should fix other things first. 5G is nothing to fix yet - we just have to stop introducing it.


Governments allow those but this would constitute another step in that governments would be forcing something potentially hazardous onto their entire populations without likely being able to escape its (potential) effects. Whereas your examples are all things that you can avoid if you like, though some admittedly easier than others.

I agree there are bigger issues but I'd think that that would constitute just delaying the rollout rather than seeking to roll it back if we find that it's affecting the health of large populations, which might just distract people even more from those bigger issues.
