1·2 years agothanks a lot man, this is really helpful: veyr understandable. (first time that I read in clear letter that this kind of technologiy is designed primarly to share information. And it is a shame that here in Europe laws don’t force corporation to build technology that has as a goal the privacy first. I am passionate in literature and Cultural studies, thus if we were living in another world I believe I would not read this stuff, because my heart beat for humanities (in a finite and short life: reading all Cormac McCarthy’s opus for a second time it would be for me highly preferrable than learn about networks, but this is the world I live in and I am tired of these damn corporation that treat people like objects)

2·2 years agoThinking that a politician is like a hero, someone who comes to save the world, that is rather naive. The politician must be checked and kept in line by his her base, his electorate.

32·2 years agoUntil people won’t vote a socialist party things will go the way you’ve described. People can’t childishly complain about politicians when they have voted them. In America, during the elections, a meager minority go to vote. Until people won’t become politically active, why should things change?

31·2 years agoI totally agree with that conceptual knot: people who live precarious lives aren’t going to make any risky moves because they live drenched in anxiety of ending down on the street. And it’s patent that every advance in technology will benefit an handful of mega rich, and the trickle down economy was a bull****. (Very interesting about this is Varoufakis and his concept of techno feudalism). Now, having said that: the only answer is political, the governments must build consistent safety nets to allow the growth of middle class, alleviate them the angst of turning into an army of homeless, so that when the basic needs are met: a house, cures and food, one can concentrate about how to plan and thrive in the future. The only method is taxing the rich, the tragicomically rich. https://digg.com/2020/this-scrolling-visualization-of-jeff-bezos-wealth-is-breaking-our-brains

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Thanks, Elon Musk, for debunking the myth that billionaires are smart and capitalism is a just system
2·2 years agoI, who has written the comment, had the same feeling. I assure you that, being English not my mother tongue, was genuinely curious, but when I’ve seen the downvotes, I wanted to ask why, then I realized the I couldn’t care less. If people feel attacked by a comment and they want to do a reprimand via downvotes let them do it.

2·2 years ago🤦♂️ Ok, I expected to create this mini chaos. I am not particulary acute, but I normally tend to figure out, while using a client, how to select and copy the a portion of text. In this case, before posting, I’ve tried some of the most obvious and intuitive solutions without any results, the only ones I’ve obtained where cumbersome and unsatisfaying.
I did not know existed so many app/clients for Lemmy. I’ve just tried 2 and this one, Voyager, is, I repeat, graphically very rich and beautiful, if compared with the previous and, also with Reddit is fun (the reddit client I used until it was shut down following that rascal Reddit did to the creator of RIF). I want to support Voyager because is by far the most beautiful app I’ve used among those said clients.
I’m sure there must be a most practical and elegant to selct and copy the text, I’ll find out and I’ll let you know, thanks for all your answer and the desire to help!

5·2 years agoI am using Voyager, which compared to the previous client I was using is remarkable, beside this and other features that don’t work in an intuitive way or maybe don’t work at all.

22·2 years agoSorry, which app is it? I use Voyager, that is graphically impeccable but a bit abstruse.


I do care aboutwhat is almost true. One gathers the facts and in the end gives an interpretation
