Yeah I think that industrial agriculture is a horrifically destructive activity for the environment and humans, and less tractors and more small scale local sustainable agriculture would be great. The UN agrees with me on that one too BTW.
Well that’s a dumb thing to say. That money was stolen from other people to start with. This is like robin hood, but the rich guy steals from the poor and then gives part of it back to them so he pays less tax, which would have meant he gave more back to them…
This is a friendly reminder that medieval peasants had more freedom of movement, worked significantly less hours/days per year, and had stronger and richer community and family loves than anyone in our advanced modern society.
I do love modern medicine though
You’ve just said the same thing but you don’t understand.
Reducing that job from 18 months to a few weeks frees up workeder for other tasks. That means nobody gets hired to do those other tasks and people who would otherwise have good jobs have nothing.
It also means the people Stoll there can be easily coerced into working for lower wages because there’s a line of people at the door who will happily work for less since they’re currently unemployed.
That’s what replacing workers means and that’s the effect of labour reduction. It puts power into the hands of the owner of the tool instead of the people who use the tool to generate cashflow.
This is capitalism - the one with capital exploits the many without, all backed up by the exclusive right to violence of the state which is owned and run by the capital owning class.
Look at all the seppos getting cranky at this one :) I just came in to post Seppo but you beat me
Have you tried mint? Its basically Linux windows but breaks less
Open border or not, that crossing is a literal death trap right now.
Everything is politics kid. Sticking your head in the sand is no different than allowing people with evil intent to do whatever they want.
We can, will, and must continue to talk about everything through a political lens until all the problems of the world are resolved
Big ol yikes right there
This is going a long way back but I’m pretty sure you could use it to just slap the shit out of your giant monster guy. That might be a different “play as god” game though…
Its really not though
That’s absolutely awful. I wish there was something we could do or some advice that might help but I have nothing. I hope some radical change comes along in the future and fixes this ☹️
Australian here. Don’t know of anyone who uses WhatsApp. Different organizations and demographics uses a range of different platforms like Facebook messenger, MS Teams, Slack, Discord etc. From my perspective those are all about the same level.
At least most official comms either government or business is SMS, phone, or email.
Happy for other Aussies to correct me of course, thsrs just my quick perspective
That is fucking horrifying. How did it ever get to that point?
I had a look at this a few weeks ago and loved some of the features. Having no option to keep data local or any simple cross platform backup (even if those will be implemented later) turned me off a bit. Having sync from PC to phone was great, although it relies on either thier cloud system or doing a bunch of tech setup I’m not good enough to handle. Overall good concept but a lot of things made me uncomfortable.
I then found Obsidian which is similar but seems to have a bunch of better features, and is all stored locally in standard formats. 10/10 If you like the look of any type chack out obsidian
I believe that ship has sailed. Unless of course you’re taking about school shootings, maternal mortality rates, etc etc
Yel that’s exactly what they do. I’ve asked around, and at a guess, half the people I know only have a phone. Whole families just using a phone each to look at YouTube and tiktok, do banking talk to friends on WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook. They watch tv, play sport, go out socialising, shopping, etc. They honestly have no use for a PC at all
A huge percentage of people don’t use a computer at work either.
Its easy to get lost in tech, but in reality the vast majority of people in this world just have no use for desktops or laptops.
Jfc man, thanks for the hot tip on the ddg tracker protection! I’ve been using ddg for a while now on the phone and have out some effort into curating apps so most of what I have is private/secure/open source, but I still have a bunch of things like the Netflix app that I know are sketchy. I’ve just gone through every app I have and confirmed things like Jerboa, VLC, antenna pod, etc are all free of trackers. The real fun surorises though were my bank app and my state government services app, which are each on about 45 tracking attempts across 36 categories. The services one even uses two seperste tracker companies. That’s super fun!
Fuck I’m glad I have this ddg add on now :D
I wouldn’t even type fa in by Firefox without the Facebook containers extension. And yeah, chrome can jam it
