The nature of these posts is that by default the 4 posts are filled by reps from the 4 largest parties in the EP.

So there’s a conservative, a. Social democrat, a liberal etc.

If in GA USA, it’s not any yellow onions. You all have special onions that are sweet.

If you think that you are under 20 or have been living under a rock.

He’s there.

Looks up social control theory. It basically argues that we all are well behaved because we worry about the social consequences of our bad actions. You remove social control. The moral behaviours goes out the window. It’s pretty well supported framework for understanding human behaviour.

Social media. That is how.

What law?

EU is waking up to the danger to democracy that is unregulated social networks ruled by trolls and dysonformation. They would be glad for them to leave.

In general. Construction can be made very cheap in dictatorships.

The other thing making things cheap is scale.

China did a lot of things well, but especially on point 1 - we need to hold the line.

Lots of projects are expensive in the west because we care about nature, quality, worker safety and the communities impacted by the work (but also because this all opens the doors to malicious bad faith legal battles that make projects stupid expensive)

You miss the bigger picture. The shit journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazine have tried to be free in the internet.

You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.

This is more the oligarch / dictator wannabe. He is saying fascist things because that gets votes but like Orban if becoming a socialist, a devout Christian, a hard core libertarian gets his base riled up - he’ll do it.

All he wants is to make sure to be able to steal more money and not get prosecuted by the next government.

He is Orban (originally a left wing crusader), Lukashenko (originally a man anti corruption fire brand), Putin (originally a pragmatic technocrat) / they are now all hard right wing , “religious” (ignore all their lovers and affairs) men of the people (ignore the palaces and yachts). All of them flap in the wind of populism. It just so happens that all the slots are primed and ready to vote for fascism.

Lemmy lives on my phone and iPad. So rarely venture into the web UI. But I use Voyager On my mobile devices.

As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.

What if I told you, the kid playgrounds are there for the parents ;)

(Yeah yeah. Not all adults are parents. Still tho).

Adieu , a parent of a kid.

Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.

On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.

“Suicidal military missions” are quite different from terrorism. What a silly attempt at an analogy.

That said. Terrorism is far from uniquely a Muslim tactic - it’s quite effective and had been used extensively in the past over and over again.

I repeat this every time someone posts being worried about Putin using nukes.

Putin has a 30 years old lover and handful of small kids with her. All his oligarch supporters have families.

Any use of any nukes results in all of us dying and the few that survive living like rats.

The one and only line that will not be crossed is these oligarchs and their kids living out their lives in bunkers like rats.

It does not even matter that Putins new family is hiding in Switzerland. They would still have to live the rest of their lives like rats.

They campaigned hard on it. Especially in reopening two reactors closed by international treat as they built it literally next to Copenhagen. Then I heard nothing about it at all.

It seems it was a cynical populist campaign and there in no real goal to do anything at all.

Wouldn’t move back.

I am in Europe. (I also have EU citizenship so that drove my decision).

I have friends who moved to NZ to try to escape the threat of Nazis here as well (it’s not like Europe is free from the evils shredding the US).

But yeah. Socialism is great. Salaries are lower and taxes higher and I would not trade in a million years.

Find a job that will relocate you. Million times easier than the alternatives.

I did the “alternatives”. I survived. Would not recommend.
