Weimar is dead, goon squads and Gestapo in the streets, plans for mass deportations and expansion, dubious peace treaties, anti-media campaigns or media cooptation, circle of industrialists competing for influence…

Never again is now.

3L glass of pickled cucumbers, an electric lantern, oversized terrycloth towel

No, I am not ready to take a picture of what you have in mind.

Competition for the sake of competition… we’ll see what and if smth grows of it

The point is that languages without large speakerbases might consider barging in with the most recognized languages rude, while languages with similar status might find it normal.

Software would be more useful if every end-user program has both GUI and minimal CLI modules, as in Dolphin vs cp, mv etc.

Why?

GUI: Year of the Linux smartphone

CLI: Automation, scripting.

I had a drinking phase 15 to 17 yo, then I got afraid of intoxicated people and them being my social event of the week. I don’t cope well with self-harm combined with active peer pressure. I stopped and stuck with teetotaling since then.

Parties run on sleep deprivation already anyway.

I just accidentally deleted a long text (Lemmy-UI has bad button placing), but the gist is social problems of the following communities as examples:

• [email protected] has little expertise,
• [email protected] has little engagement.

The existing users are afraid to tell stories of their own, which would create positive feedback loop of engagement.

Currency is not inspiration.

I’d rather have cooperation instead of competition as primary incentive: “If I post quality content, others might want to post quality content as well”

Democratise the armies, make them voluntary.

If somehow people in Europe became anarchists and got a backbone overnight, this rearmament would be necessary as well, with Russia and the USA on the loom. It would come from different political scales, but economically Europe needs an answer either way. The Cold War divide was not good for European autonomy and its perversion will neither.

Better add that to the rider conduct

Concealed mana carry

Open Source does it all the time, just with a slower pace.

While mostly rich people problems, privacy is not the opposite of expression.

Profits are a bit like internal taxes on wages.

Co-op NPOs should use these taxes to further the company’s goals instead of crude extraction into the goals of the owners.

Those aren’t perfect, because once they reach a certain size any form of corruption can have big bad consequences. The Fediverse approach to this is “decentralisation”, but all decentralisation efforts have an API vulnerability - there needs to be a central body that develops the “language” between the actors.

On the other hand, you might not have an ear for any of this, because you might be dependent on your business’ profits.

Maybe they should use the next scale, but I get it: 14,800 MB/s sounds like a lot more than 14.8 GB/s.

Flexing is not good for the containment

Das tritt nach meiner Kenntnis… ist das sofort! Unverzüglich!

That takes to my knowledge… it is immediately! Forthwith!

Has the US collectively eaten something that tells them “Moar Tariffs”? It’s as if Neoliberalism-Central got mercantilism cancer.

Nice try, DEA
