If you really want to make a difference, get involved in an organization instead of fantasizing about being some lone wolf that takes down an individual to magically solve systemic problems.

The whole point of the movie is the mobilaziation of the people. The mask is just a symbol.

Also, as I said, I am not American. I am active in my country, but I have no reason to get involved in American politics (aside from stupid posts on social media 😅).

A lot of professions are involved in bridge building but specifically architects come to my mind. Anyway, building bridges sounds so fucking interesting, like these things are huge, can hold literally tonnes, forever change the life of people around them, and they can be seen from far away.

But they are sooo adorable 😍

Sounds fun, mind sharing your field?

Judging on other replies, it seems there are alot of people in IT/software development field that are burnt out by how fast everything is changing. That’s people that understand it, are making an honest effort, but still it’s too much.

Tbh, it makes me dread for my future…

That would have been a life saver on my last trip 😳

Here is a list of note-taking apps:

By the way, I am building my own Journaling system, it’s still early stages and I am looking for ideas!

I hear the UK makes an honest effort for accessibility

Typing in python leaves a lot to be desired… Being looking at peps for quite some time, but it’s really hard for the language to make progress without breaking compatibility.

Hopefully at some point MOJO becomes mature enough to use in a professional setting.

I am not using Jenkins anymore but this seems like a lifesaver, thanks for sharing

Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.

I am trying it out, got a subscription a couple of weeks ago. I went to unlimited searches right away since on a work day I heavily rely on search engines.

To be honest, I have nothing to say about it, which feels like a good thing considering that lately I have been complaining a lot about Google.

IMO Lemmy is a social media, it allows people to socialize over shared interests. It doesn’t need to facilitate IRL connections, even though they are likely to happen.

I need a bit of clarification, are you suggesting that every candidate that gets even a single vote gets to be a representative? or is there some selection mechanism? (minimum votes, fixed number of seats, etc…)

I don’t know if this has been used before, but there is a good reason not to:

The concentration of power would be a huge problem for such a system. If a single person gets the majority of votes, then they get to make the decisions. That’s a system with a single point of failure, if corruption is bad right now, imagine what it would be then…

Keep in mind that voters tend to focus on a few key individuals. In a system which you don’t need more seats if you have the votes, the concentration of votes to a few individuals would be taken to new extremes.

One could make the counterargument that if the voters want to be represented by a single person, then it should be their right to get that. However, it’s more likely that such a result would be driven by the choice for the lesser evil.

Maybe a completely different electoral system, (a) without a fixed number of seats (aka a single vote is enough to be part of the decision making body) and (b) really frequent elections (6 months or even less), would work in the favor of the people, but there a tonne of practical issues with both requirements.

PS A single person is the extreme but not unlikely case, instead it’s more likely a dozen or two candidates will gather that decision making majority, but the corruption argument is still the same.

neither, I am autistic, it’s not a choice, it’s a need.

You spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong

I tend to agree with your points.

The key idea for me is that everything is a dating app. Social media are a great place to get to know someone and become interested in them. However, there is no straightforward way to transition that interest into a connection or a relationship. That’s what dating apps provide a way to broadcast your availability along with other parameters like your gender, age, location and interests.

An alternative would be toot on Mastodon or blog about that. That would inform people interested in your online persona that your dms are open for a chat. Of course, that comes with issues on its own…

Spam or unsolicited advances (aka dick pics) are a huge one, especially for women. One way to solve that would be for men do these kind of posts and women to react as they see appropriate. In an ideal society with gender equality, that wouldn’t be necessary, but at the moment IMO it’s easier to deal with men disguised as russian super models bating for your money, than angry men feeling entitled to your body.

Another issue would be the social repercussions of this information being publicly available. IMO that’s easy to deal with since you don’t have to tie your online persona to your real Identity. Also, you can have multiple online personas. Hopefully, society gets to a point where expression of sexuality is not taboo, until then there are safe ways to do it.

ALL OF THEM! NO COOKIE IS LEFT BEHIND!

My high score is around 4 packets in around 20 minutes.

That’s why I stopped buying cookies…
