Ants even have soldiers

Capitalism is different from a regular market in that it is not just trying to make a profit in order to have enough money to exchange for useful goods and services.

Capitalism demands that your profit grows and grows and grows. It’s growth for it’s own sake. A capitalistic economy like our world economy needs to grow 3% or so every year or it gets into a recession. 3% doesn’t sound like much, but it’s exponential growth, doubling every 25 years or so. This growth doesn’t come out of thin air, but from extracting from value from other people, our world and so on.

And measuring an economy by GDP is incomplete, because it doesn’t take uncompensated labor, human happiness and wellbeing, and public goods (like a healthy nature) into account. When a factory owner pollutes and dries up the river while employees have no choice but to work 16 hour weeks, GDP goes up.

In nature, things grow until they are mature. That does not mean progress halts. Adults don’t grow anymore, but continue to learn.

My try to explain why money and markets are okay, but growth for it’s own sake (growthism you may call it) is destroying our societies, making us unhappy, and is also killing us with the climate and biodiversity crises.

Of course everyone expects TACO, some measures that inevitably backfire, but honestly, this may be short sighted. If they strap a nuke onto ICBMs and shoot them anywhere that they thinks blocks the passage, that would “work”. It would be insane and with immesurable bad consequences, but Iran would face hell and probably stop holding the passage closed.

I’m on an FP6 with iodéOS, very smooth so far, and apparently security is better than with /e/OS.

I had to manually flash it though.

Borg!

Haha don’t worry happens to all of us. I feel old too sometimes

So just telephone cells? Okay

Wtf is a payphone

Fascists have no values. They say whatever they want to further their objectives.

They have no messaging, no email, no calenders, no file storage, no operating system. While the transition is definitely possible, in an abrupt event you only have maybe emergency coordinations

While im very happy about this just like everyone else, I think it will be a struggle to get rid of the Microslop stuff. A lot of organizations would simply cease to exist if Microslop office and their Windows admin stuff would be gone right now.

While this is certainly a big step in their enshittification process, the restrictions from just not doing it don’t seem so bad.

Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.

Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.

Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.

Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.

Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

I will definitely not identify myself for them with these options. If they would implement more private methods of age authentication, maybe I would consider it, since I am currently bound to discord for a few social activities.

That’s like saying Feuetzeug is not a real German word because it’s just the words Feuer and Zeug and it’s kinda like saying “fire thing” in Britain

I like the German bird names much better than the goofy english ones. Blaumeise is just poetic.

This is sadly not easily generalizable, since a lot of people still use legacy operating systems with filesystems like NTFS, which as far as I know is not COW.

It’s because of the old notion of “be generous in what you accept and strict in what you send”. I think the error is something about adding more parent directories so that part of your zip file will be extracted above the selected directory. Not all implementations of zip support this “feature”.

There are also all kinds of stupid ancient features in tar and zip from a time when hard drives were measured in megabytes or less. The latest episode of the open source security podcast talks about it.

He belongs in a museum

Im pretty sure that is possible on forgejo if given a specific github token. Or is it a scale problem?

Of course I know deso… Desoksin?

I like new words, like Rucksackriemenquerverbindungsträger (the horizontal connection between the straps of your backpack that makes the backpack magically less heavy when closed)
