Because content distributors haven’t thought of another way to get money. The only other thing they came up with is subscriptions. Some have thought of donations, but they haven’t banded together to come up with an alternative. It’s weak and totally mid.
I disagree. Ads are not the answer. Treating them as such is simply giving up.
We need more worker owned associations and more workers’ rights. This is ridiculous.
Where in the post did OP state that thye cared about operating systems?
He’s ranting about windows or mac users, right?
Opensource it, if you can’t finish it yourself
Can I ask what measures you’ve taken in your life to reduce your standard of living to match the degrowth goal?
Buy local products, buy conflict-free, slave-free, or fair trade products whenever possible, most of my belongings are second hand or have been in my possession for a long time (the oldest piece of clothing I was gifted is about 40 years old, the oldest I bought about 20), don’t own a car and public transport is taken whenever possible, short distances are by bike or foot, food waste is nearly 0, etc.
How about you?
The value of everything changes. Time is not static. What maybe useless today may be of great value tomorrow and that value has to be tracked.
A system without money is just a system where the actual currency isn’t obvious.
No wonder the degrowth movement exists. It’s because of this bullshit that we harm everything around us.
If the Californians vote for this dude and his ideas, it’ll be their own fault 🤷♂ But it would fit right in with the future president.
If more people knew about the fucked up shit the US did to countries south of their border, countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, their flag would be a symbol of terror, not hope and prosperity.
Programmer clutching their keyboards screaming “Arrays start at 0!”
Prime example of such behavior.
caribou diaper baby … that was particularly deranged and such a strange insult lol
That made me laugh. It’s more hilarious than an insult. Maybe they are comedians in their free time?
What have you tried? There are communities of all types on here. If you say something, there are definitely people who will agree and others who will disagree. Most will express it quite badly and few will give a thoughtful response. Reddit, I find, was much worse at nuance.
/r/askmen for example was open to anybody asking questions while /r/askwomen was heavily heavily moderated and didn’t allow diverging views. /r/science turned into a place for science memes. /r/politics was just a battleground for left and right wingers calling each other names, and places about men’s health were consistently attacked by other subs. Reddit seemed like twitter’s second coming - with communities.
I was lowkey hoping it was something voluntary and convoluted. Thought they had figured something out.
Thanks for the information.
If lemmy’s communities were not instance bound, but cross instance, it wouldn’t be that much of a problem. People could recreate their accounts on another instance and just join the same community.
I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.
