An international Amazon union could accomplish that.

Japan’s old-age security payments are reasonable. But if you can’t find a sense of community, you are losing your closest friends every year it is easy to feel alone. Being forced into someplace with a group where your basic needs are cared for and something to do is a decent sounding alternative. Though if there was decent enough community programs, group accomodation (some are choosing to live in with others like a college dormhouse instead of a longterm care home) then some of these problems could be prevented.

Oui, s’il vous plaît.

That’s huge news! And it’s amazing that they have a SDL2 API implemented with SDL3, which will take a lot of rewrite work out for people.

Reddthat has downvotes turned off, only upvotes are recorded on your instance. Jerboa (if that’s the client you’re talking about), has options to display downvotes as a percentage, up and down or net score only. Those options will only function if your instance records downvotes.

You can’t just get scores from other instances, that’s not how that works. The scores shown from each instances varies slightly due to different instances being linked. That’s helpful because if an egotistical admin spins up an instance with 5000 self-made accounts that all upvote a post that admin made, defederating that instance will remove the stuffed votes from the score.

For vanilla games the process has become “enable the Steam Play checkbox one time on your computer, then download and press Play”. How much easier does it need to be?".

Each of the following things can add a layer of complexity:

• Mods/Mod Launchers
• Pirated Games (I’ve stopped pirating Steam Games for years since my financial situation is better now)
• Connecting non-standard input/output hardware

Changing the system from the inside is one piece of the puzzle, that on it’s own can have limited effectiveness.

Protests and occupations, sometimes in the form of rowdy riots are an important factor of how Dutch people got their bike lanes. The 70s oil shock pushed the government to the goal, but they might have just stayed the course towards building cities for cars instead of people, if there were no protests.

You need a bit of both. Like protests groups disrupting the Davos meetings, and other young representatives participating in the same meetings.

Idk, your argument sounds similar to me to saying “look at the success of these 6 billionaires! Why are you judging our country by our bottom 40%!?”

Every working person in BC under the Employment Standards Act gets at least 5 days paid sick leave and 2 weeks paid vacation. If you have to get lucky with the right job to get benefits I don’t think you can lay claim to them as a country.

(as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said “I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.”)

I get why folks do it, but I’m not sure if they’re going to get people to embrace their philosophy, if they keep jeering at other people like this. There are more cordial ways that one can acknowledge the benefits while showing why the drawbacks outweigh them.

Roughly speaking, Lemm.ee is more libertarian some libright. Slrpnk is libleft but is home to pleasant politics community. Dbzer0 is anarchy leftist. World is closest to US centrist. Lemmy.ca is kind of Reddit’s onguardforthee vibe, Left/NDP wing.

Thing is that influences from other more ideological instances will make it onto All threads. “Lib-shaming” is something some folks at lemmy.ml, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml like to do frequently, which is where those experiences might have come from.

They can stick to [email protected], I don’t mind them when in their own space. Crazies have truthless social anyway.

Only with the Trump Administration in power, is the world topsy-turvy enough to get normal sounding headlines from The Onion.

Phew, should have been banned long ago but you could say this ruling came just in time, before it gets abused by the Trump administration.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for reducing egg prices to $5 a carton. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the price was to be increased to $5 a carton. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours?

Yes, you would need to make a new account. You can export your subscriptions, hold onto them and import them into a new account if you want. I also have a couple backup alts on other instances when my usual one goes offline.

Luckily your posts and comments aren’t purged from other instances, if your instance is taken offline unceremoniously. So you won’t lose any of your contributions.

Each Fediverse service can implement the export/moving differently. However Mastodon has a follower/activity move ability that some services like Pixelfed are trying to make themselves cross-compatible with.

Welcome to Lemmy and the Fediverse!

Those journalists are worried about getting fired themselves by the Nazi-coddling snowflake cancel-culture mob.

If you don’t hear back from your doctor, that means the results are good and you’re healthy right? We should apply that to the health and disease control strategy of our entire country!

Yep. I’m here just hoping we don’t repeat the mistakes of the Harris campaign.

Freeland is qualified, and knows very well what it takes to govern. But having served as Trudeau’s second in command, she will be representing the very thing people have been conditioned by the Conservatives to hate (Trudeau). Unconscious sexism within voters will also be a disadvantage here. Finally her campaign announcement to scrap the proposed capital gains tax increase (that she herself had introduced) is a concerning regression to the mean that Harris’ campaign did too often. A month ago I had thought Freeland would be the ideal candidate, but I have since changed course.

Carney looks to be in a suitable position to assert himself like “not your same old Liberals”. We’ll see if he does. If Quebec goes en masse for the Bloc that’s not the worst thing, if he can pick up more support in the rest of Canada. I just hope he doesn’t court endorsements from people like Premier Mike Harris.

Yes, it’s a promising sign that Canadians are noticing Trump, Musk, Smith and Poilievre’s antics. People are willing to vote for [Leader TBD] over Poilievre.

Once a new Liberal leader is elected (crossing my fingers it’s Carney), I expect Liberal support to rise even further if the clown-show keeps up south of the border.
