That would require some kind of local client side software.
Some kind of browser extension.

Now here’s the bigger issue. Lets say I can click a button, and now a home instance, and all its communities could be saved to a special drop down tab that replaces the local. Your instance is always the default, but the rest are alphabetically listed.

I don't think I understand. You mean choose a local view of a different server? That would require every instance to duplicate everything on every other instance. Not possible.

What makes Communick.News different from Lemmy.World?

It's a paid instance. I pay a subscription fee to ensure it won't die do to lack of resources.

The idea isn’t to centralize the instances. The idea is to theme them.

What benefit would themed instances have. You can't follow an instance....
Oh! That's what your trying to do! You want to be able to see some logical grouping of related communities, and follow that! Now I get it.

Yah. That's not the way to do that. The "MultiReddit" concept is what you want for that. A shareable list of related communities. That'll work regardless of what instance they are hosted on. Multi-communities are on the pre v1.0 list already

Lemmy privacy isn't a joke, because there isn't any. It's 100% public by design.
If you want to keep something private, don't post it publicly online.

Use Mastodon. Lemmy is built around topics, not people.

That's exactly what the Local feed is for.
If you don't want All, don't use All. Because All will give you All, not just Local. If you want Local, use Local.

Slicing the hot dog bun is a standard part of it's preparation and presentation. Not really part of this.

And if you were presented a "Slice of pie" as A thing. It would in fact be a Taco.
However If you were presented a whole pie and decided to slice it to eat it. "The Pie" would still be a 5 or 6. "The Slice" would be a 3. "The Pie" didn't change by having a slice removed.

Does that distinction make sense? "A Pie" is one thing. "A Slice of Pie" is a different thing.

Cutting it to serve or eat, doesn't change it's classification.

It seems like doctors. 4 years of classes, 4 years of hands on residency in hospitals.

“I never like it when companies try to pressure Switzerland or its people with money,” he said. “In a democracy, the right way is to argue, not threaten to leave.” Allowing firms to dictate policy by brandishing relocation threats, he warned, “is the worst possible outcome—for democracy itself.”

That does happen. But is that really what's happening here? I can't imagine it's just a threat. It looks like the government is considering a law that makes Proton's entire business model illegal in Switzerland. As a result it would only make sense for them to start working on moving elsewhere. It seems a completely natural, obvious, even necessary consequence.

Most of that, yes. And it's great

It really is some of the best Star Trek that's been done.

 

Kagi AI Summary

The New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness organizes an annual point-in-time count of the homeless population in Albuquerque. Last year's count found over 2,300 homeless individuals. Volunteers will canvass the city on Tuesday to survey unsheltered people and those in shelters. The count provides data required for federal funding and gives officials a sense of needs. However, it is acknowledged to be an imperfect undercount, as it depends on conditions and willingness to participate. Notably, the 2023 nationwide report found that New Mexico saw the largest increase in homelessness at 57% over the past year, along with high rates of unsheltered veterans and chronic homelessness.

 

Kagi AI Summary:
The passage lists the addresses of various food establishments in Albuquerque, New Mexico that have recently been downgraded due to health code violations. Many issues were observed like rodent droppings throughout facilities, food debris built up under kitchen equipment, and employees not properly washing their hands. Major violations included lack of date labeling on food items, food stored at improper temperatures, and chlorine sanitizer buckets lacking test strips. Several restaurants had gaps in external doors and walls allowing pest entry. Overall, the list shows that many popular food locations were cited for health code violations and risks to customers if issues are not addressed properly.

 

Kagi AI Summary:
The merger between PNM Resources and AVANGRID has been officially cancelled after three years of negotiations. While the $8.3 billion deal had overcome initial opposition, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ultimately rejected it in 2021 due to concerns raised by advocacy group New Energy Economy. AVANGRID appealed the decision but the court did not rule in time. With the deadline expired at the end of 2023, AVANGRID chose to withdraw from the merger. PNM had proposed extending the agreement until a court decision was made but AVANGRID declined. As a standalone company, PNM remains committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy for its customers with or without AVANGRID's investment.
