Grapes of Wrath with extra fascist steps, jfc

You can't really stand up to power by voting, unfortunately. All your choices are just different ways of giving these jackals power with more or fewer steps.

I hope there are local groups and organizations where you're at that you can join to start to organize a grassroots movement.

Is Gartner one of those sources that causes avalanches in the VC / tech world? Because it would be lovely to see this popping asap

Yeah! That and the fact that our society has erased several or most of our ways to communally build identity and shifted us to build identity based on consumption items

Their webpage reads like corpo fanfic

I don't get it either, I've always made tea with a small pot. It is just something to heat up water. It has a lid. The only time I started seeing a lot of kettles around was when pour over / V60 / Chemex became fashionable and every place started selling gooseneck kettles.

Damn right! It was about time that we finally get the message (again I might add) and deconstruct the fake boundaries that were put up to divide us.

This is stupidly sad. And they took a trophy.

Not chiming in on whether or not he is the guy, but the police making mistakes should be considered standard procedure. They're only "competent" in movies and TV shows, so we shouldn't assume they fucking up as evidence for anything besides it being a Monday.

It is a bit confusing at first, but with the adoption of more onlyoffice tools I think it will make it easier on folks to use it.

I don't grasp basic economics. Can someone help me understand what Japan selling these US Treasuries would mean? Doesn't someone else have to buy them?

Just as a fun side note, in one collection of her short stories (the wind's twelve quarters), she has a story about the beginnings the Odonians. In her author notes regarding that short story she says:

this story is about one of the ones who walked away from Omelas

I think reading both short stories back to back helped me contextualize better what Omelas means to me and, possibly, to her.

Not money, but time. In my experience, finding a local mutual aid group or place is a great place to start doing meaningful work and also a great way to meet awesome people.

The amount of high quality tools that "just" ship with KDE is bonkers. I hope they are getting enough donations :)

And still not enough to curb the amount of trash being produced, shipped around the world and then trashed locally when it doesn't match the expectations of the buyer / rips after putting it on.

The popularity of this tool is bonkers. Even conferences sometimes "create a discord".

A bit off-topic, sorry, but the difference between the answers to similar questions in this community (Lemmy) and others is quite staggering. Here we have people talking openly about non monogamous approaches in healthy and mature ways. Love it!

Thanks for the pic, added to the collage. We need to keep sharing this shit

I wish that more people had attended those classes and learned the lesson

This sometimes also helps when I need a result from reddit: https://github.com/corenting/eddrit
