Canadian here, ashamed of our history big time. Myself and government believe truth and reconsiliation. So there is shame in our past. Also, I don’t think the country representing Jerry is a good use…
Canadian here. I believe in reconciliation with the indigenous population, but I've yet to see anything but words from provincial and federal governments
Well, there’s always the practical question of: how do you reconcile for genocide? Leave the country and hand it back to the natives? It would honestly surprise me if you would go that far, let alone your government or countrymen
How about respecting the sovereign land of the people that don't have treaties yet? Wetsuoten (spelling?) land defenders are still being harassed by the RCMP on the regular
I currently live in france and can confirm. Full of french people speaking french. I told my kids that it’s a made up language and everybody is actually just pretending that they understand what each other is saying.
Even going back to tribes would be better because capitalism is literally destroying the world. Socialism (not social democracy) would be better for 99% of people.
I know your service is free, open source, devoid of ads, and not trying to steal my data, but iTs NoT uSeR fRiEnDlY.
Because being user-friendly is way, way, way more important than things like privacy, not being bombarded by ads, and not supporting billionaires who use their money to influence the law to benefit themselves and harm us.
Humans are fucking lazy pieces of shit and that’s a major reason why the billionaire class keeps winning, because most of us are too lazy to learn something new or do something the hard way because “there’s already an easy way.”
Boo Boo Bear: “I do believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, burnt down, or leveled by any force necessary.”

People gravitate to the technology that they can use.
I live in a small town. Every business and service has a Facebook group because it’s usable. A couple of stalwarts maintain web pages but they’re full of inaccurate information because they’re too hard to update. The Facebook groups, on the other hand, are constantly up-to-date, and the owners are quick to respond to any comment on them.
That’s before you get to network effects. Everyone in the town uses Facebook. So when kids ask for a messaging or social media account, they ask for a Facebook product so they can talk to their friends and family.
It’s incredibly shitty. Everyone in town would agree with your sentiment, but they bounce off competing products. The effort involved in hosting a service isn’t a higher perceived cost than the ads, privacy invasion, etc.
Basket solution. Other than the items that must be hung up to prevent excessive wrinkling, just lay out a number of laundry baskets that are separated by category (person X’s shirts, person Y’s pants, person Z’s unmentionables), located about waist high for convenience.
Chuck the cleaned, dry items into each sorted bin. Congratulations, you’re done.
Takes a few seconds to find a specific article of clothing later but saves hours in folding and putting away.
There’s always solutions, you also don’t need to sort it that way either. It being in one hamper is just as acceptable. But there is perception from other people to take into account.
Plus I find it harder to remember what I have left in clean when its all in the bin. Nothong worse than getting ready for work and realizing you have no clean pairs of khaki pants left.
Neoliberalism greatly expanded the dominance of market forces through deregulation, privatization, and regressive forms of taxation, while significantly reducing the state’s role in the economy through cuts to labor, welfare, and social protections.
Behind these economic reforms sat a new idea of what constitutes a good and free society—a concept about what direction we should all be striving in to become the best versions of ourselves. In the new neoliberal era, then, success would be reframed as a product of having exceptional individual qualities (rather than exceptional social privileges and advantages), while failure would be rooted in some kind of personal deficit (rather than in lack of opportunity, equality, or social support).

In a way it developed out of the pressures against any sort of class based notion’s of analysis, because of the extreme anti-communism that was enforced through the academy and US-based political institutions. These were common approaches in the generation previous, MLK Jr. could represent that era as he argued for class policies as a Christian socialist, and you had labor organization and demonstrations like the March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom. Neoliberalism was the capitalist economic structure’s answer to these threats, allowing for the structure to be retained and enhanced (inequality is more extreme than ever before), while making sure people as individuals are the subjects and not any notion of a group of people with common interests that may exert influence.
I don’t really think a country, where half of the population support a terrorist group, that recently performed one of the worst attacks on innocent people the world has seen in a long time, really has the right to claim any moral high ground.
The other “half” are who I care about. They’re getting killed by Israel non descriminately, while, Hamas( a group Palestinians don’t care for, who has taken control of Gaza by force)ignores their needs.
Also worth questioning exactly why Hamas is so ascendant compared to the much more peaceful PLO… Not saying there weren’t still problems back then but nothing, nothing like this
Do you condemn american natives who attacked settlers ? There are no innocents in a settler colonial project, that’s like calling a card-carrying member of the Nazi party an innocent.
The native jews are a very small minority. Most of those “innocent” chose to be there and partake in this genocidal apartheid state.
Israel has no right to self defence, because it has no right to exist. If the Jews have to have a state (which isn’t necessarily a good thing as it gave European countries an excuse to not tolerate them as they could always “go back home”), why not put that state in Germany ? You know, a country that actually did something to them.
On the other hand, the UN recognized the right of the Palestian people to fight against the Israeli occupation, which was explicitly described as an apartheid state on the same level as South Africa at the time.
You have no idea how history work. How do you think anti-colonial partisans all around the world were treated by the occupying press ? It’s never “people legitimately fighting for their country”, always “unjustified targeting of ‘civilians’ and ‘state officials’”.
Israel isn’t there to protect Jews or any such fantasies. Jews lived in Palestine before the colonial project, and they will continue to live there after it.
Second pic doesn’t even need a flag and it will still work perfectly lol. European conquest sure did a lot of damage to the rest of the world back then.
Back then is misleading, they actually try to keep their influence one way or another to exploit resources. If they can’t then they will pertend there were weapons of mass destruction.
FOSS is great at back end, and is tremendously closer to the front end ease of private, polished software than it ever has been.
Some more push for front-end ease with reasonable support communities will push it more into the mainstream. It needs to be as easy as pressing “install” and then using it. For mass adoption, the majority of people don’t care to become technical experts.
Imo backend FOSS needs a complete rethink with an easy way to manage one’s own digital stewardship. I’ve lost a ton of data to FOSS projects (masto, lemmy, etc) just because the random host I chose decided to close up shop. Not particularly the fault of the software vendor per sae, and while I do not wish to hassle with hosting my own entire instance I’d be happy paying for or hosting my own data.
I do it while watching TV or something. It never seems to stop though. Even better when the kids spill something on the couch or wet the bed and you have to do impromptu laundry in the middle of the non-stop laundry.
Yeah they get immediately stuffed into their corresponding drawers. They rip half them out anyway.
As for when they get older for school… Their shit is getting rolled just like mine. Way easier, more compact, and able to see what’s what immediately after opening your drawer. They’ll be helping the whole time.
