X definitely feels hollowed out. Most of my follows are spambots, and I hardly get engagement anymore. A few days ago I created an account on Bluesky and it's much livelier. There is a living ecosystem there.

It almost seems like you're asking for permission. Instead, start this project if you're passionate about it and post your progress here on HN. I'm sure you can get lots of presales that way.
FedEx is a terrible delivery service. I refuse to use them. Maybe before attempting to rival Amazon, they should focus on improving their core operations first.

The author just described the religious life. For me, not going to church is about as real of an option as not exercising or showing up for work anymore. It isn't a real option. The cost of not going makes it a faux-choice. So I always go to church Sunday morning, even when I worked all night, and I'm always glad I did.

The author figured out what really matters, and once you do that there really isn't a choice or a trade to be made anymore, is there?

Local Russian officials seized grain and other foodstuffs from farmers, including the last reserves of food from people's pantries and cupboards. It certainly seemed they wanted the people starved.
I'm getting an error that my phone number isn't supported. I live in Canada. Anyone else having this problem?

Because you're using the wrong search engine. Try Mojeek for fresh results, and get involved with their community.

I believe Mojeek will be a gamechanger.

Book of Mormon because it is both a collection of ancient records and inspired religious text. Sometimes reading it is like having a conversation with Christ Himself. Amazing book.

Makes sense you would want to capture that traffic. But why did d you decide on the .to tld to begin with?
