Maybe not helpful, but Kagi search includes an option to search forums, which includes Lemmy. They have or had a dedicated Lemmy search, but I don't see it on my end right now.

And you thought it was hard to find X before?

Imagine if your whole life was only a laser light show, then one day you break free of the gogo cage and discover the DJ who has been laying down that phat beat the entire time... That would be pretty trippy, right?

I've been pretty impressed with OnlyOffice for PDFs

Biblically accurate feline

Look who everyone is solving for now.

Too bad that all of his most brilliant engineers are busy volunteering for DOGE, otherwise they surely would have prevented this.

Yes, obviously. What a ridiculous question when computers have been making hiring decisions since the late 1990s.

So... Lemmy Lite™?

Strategic reserves are strategic. If your strategy is to crash the price of gold for a short period of time, then sure. It's hard to see how society benefits from that though.

Maybe the internal GPS was looking for the Gulf of Mexico and just gave up?

That guy had a real pair of stones.

That is a common belief, although it doesn't stand up to academic rigor. There are many studies that show UBI does not negatively impact productivity or innovation, and may even stimulate more.

It seems counterintuitive, but when people have basic needs met, they tend to spend more time improving their skills, experimenting, starting new businesses, and finding better employment matches.

Governments already spend o lot of money on providing services to individuals, such as social security, pensions, healthcare, childcare, education, policing and corrections, food security, housing subsidies, etc. As it turns out, often the most efficient way to provide services to people is to give them money to provide for themselves.

On the other hand, I'm not aware of any studies that show wealth aggregation increases productivity after businesses leaders are paid more than ~50 times their average employee. The typical CEO today earns 351x more than the average employee, which is more than a 1000% increase from the late 1970s.

The point is not the taxes, it's the UBI. The wealth taxes are just how you pay for it.

You also need to ensure certain consumer protections, especially in real estate markets, in order to make UBI work well, but let's start there.

You can run either one from a server or locally. LibreOffice allows realtime collaboration in spreadsheets only. OnlyOffice I think allows it in all programs. Both have web editors. Both work with Nextcloud /OwnCloud. It depends on what you want to do with your server.

Retirement is for privileged boomers.

We will work until we die unless we figure out how to get taxes from billionaires and generational wealth holders to establish a universal basic income.

My calendar is now on Thunderbird, which has an excellent desktop and mobile app as well.

I'm having good luck replacing document editors with onlyoffice, Although many people will recommend Colabora (with LibreOffice on desktop)

Edit: and Organic Maps, depending on how complete OpenStreetMap is in your area.

Also maybe microdots would be more effective. Not exactly pen and paper, but still analog. Hard to crack a code you can't find.
