LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Donald Trump became the first sitting president in nearly a half-century at a regular-season NFL game, attending the Washington Commanders’ 44-22 loss to the visiting Detroit Lions on Sunday.

There were loud boos from some spectators in the stands when Trump was shown on the videoboard late in the first half — standing in a suite with House Speaker Mike Johnson — and again when the president was introduced by the stadium announcer at halftime.

The jeering continued while Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field enlistment ceremony during the break in the game.

 

A couple of years ago I decided to turn this blog into a podcast. At the time, I decided to make up a stupid rule: whatever model I use to clone my voice and generate article transcripts needs to be an open model.

 

The Israeli parliament (Knesset) on Monday evening approved, in its first reading, a bill allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners. The proposal was submitted by Knesset member Limor Son Har-Melech of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party.

The bill passed with 39 votes in favour and 16 against, and was referred to the relevant parliamentary committee for preparation before the second and third readings.

The Knesset also passed a similar parallel bill proposed by opposition member Oded Forer from the Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) party. This proposal received 37 votes in favour and 14 against, reflecting cooperation between members of the ruling coalition and the opposition in targeting the Palestinian prisoners’ movement in Israeli jails.

 
 

(This post is focused on the actual Network Effect. But of course content, people/content creators moving will help as well among other things)

Main legacy social media apps suck. So let's switch everyone to better.

Here's the solution for the Network Effect. Instead of having everyone switch fully from one to the other just have them have a foot on both sides till everyone switches over eventually.

During that we can also encourage them to get other people on the platform as they use it more

That's basically what Linux is doing via dual booting and with time/usage people will get off them since they enjoy the experience of the better alternative.

Some YouTubers are already hosting their content on multiple platforms. Many art artists already do that too

Also here are many open source alternatives I hope you will all try out/share with others in case you missed them:

Twitter ➡️ Mastodon & Bluesky

Instagram ➡️ Pixelfed, & Flashes

TkTok ➡️ Loops by Pixelfed, & Spark (Spark.so)

Discord ➡️ Stoat

Meta Horizons ➡️ Resonite (On Steam, free)

Twitch ➡️ Glimesh, & Streamplace

Meetup ➡️ ???

Facebook ➡️ ???

Snapchat ➡️ ???

Pinterest ➡️ ???

Amino ➡️ ???

Hopefully some groups can be formed to get alternatives for latter 5 done too

XMPP havent tried it yet (Think thats how you spell it)
