Well, there you have the exact meaning of anecdotal evidence. It does not count at all. Also, it is assuming causation instead of corellation.
And ltt is a great example for a place thats quite incompatible with the fediverse. Linus is a good pipeline to get peeps into computers but not a great person, sadly.
That said, the person asking specifically wanted NEWS. Can you umagine how your goals differ?
We're getting nowhere here. You're in the "i own your ass" mindset of capitalism. Thats not a base for discussion. They likely also ate and took a shit on time paid for by people. The whole idea of only paying for a specific task is so fucking dystopian.
Just take a second to imagine yourself in their shoes. Waking up, not taking a shower (slightly joking but who cares), either eating something or smoking some weed or both, sitting down in front of a computer, writing code, working on bugs, writing documentation, eating, going outside (hopefully), going to sleep.
As someone who does this shit for a living, you cant clearly divide tasks in non manual jobs and even then it is micromanagement which will likely make a lot of workers sick.
I dont know where you have the idea from. Its not real. Of course they might fix a bug in their instance, answer a modmail. Moderating a lemmy instance isnt that crazy of a deal. Of course its labour but the idea to call them scammers because they moderated their instance feels like you might wanna smoke less, more or something else (metaphor for get your head straight).
This judgemental shit just isnt healthy in this place and people hating on other people doing shit for the community isnt as cool as edgy as you think.
I have two separate nextcloud servers and pay around 14€ a month for the remote one. The home one costs me like 20€ a month just in electricity, not to mention the 500€ hdds and the administration time invested.
Going cheapo on cloud storage shows me that people dont care about the world they live in. Every cloud account thats below 5-10 €$ for like max 50 GBs is cheaper than it costs to run them. Its just a way for large companies to destroy small companies who could actually provide a decent service.
I mean, feel free to prove me wrong but please spare me the capital apologist stance.
Of course, just another backup location should not be that expensive but a nextcloud is something very different.
That joke was actually pretty funny. But what were those other posts mate? Show a little respect to the people giving you the opportunity to post here at all.
They posted asking for people to stand up for them. Dirty communists like myself (okay, and others) stood up and pushed that message everywhere we could. Because you have to want freedom and democracy. It does not come for free.
Thanks for your opinion. Do you post in that community? Do you have a better idea? If you can answer both questions with no I would ask what differs your post from spam.
I mean, you just mentioned that. Of course someone will disagree, but most probably wont bother. I just wanna know, do you exclude gaining a new perspective from this? Because I'm exceedingly strong willed when encountering illogical or otherwise short sighted points. But sometimes folks just show me a new perspective and I am compelled to agree. Doesnt happen often except in tech questions but here we are.
Crazy idea: use a bot? A lot of communities already do it to help with lack of folks where the techies dont regularly post. You can still get your news here and you will likely attract other folks like you (maybe tell them over on other places that we now have sports news). Just trying to help
Autocracy is a toin coss, which makes the idea itself naive.
Democracy is always the answer. Mass influence by algorithm needs to be outlawed immediately.
So far, base democracy in highly federated systems is the fairest I've seen. Sadly, fairness isnt the measurement our world evonomy goes by. That needs to change.
But again thats only technically true. There are no progressive majorities and fascist billionaires are manipulating the masses. Misinformation is ruling the discourse. What you're sayibg is factually impossible at this point in time.
Absolutely not. Progressive politics arent easy to understand and need vastly more effort to implement than regressive politics. You're arguing completely against history.
There are efforts to build emoloyee owned businesses around the world
The system is pitted towards accumulation through antisocial behavior which is absent in democratic companies, hence they're disadvantaged
Communists and anarchists are revolutuonists, not reformists. The reason is that reform makes the inherently cruel system easier to bear and abolishment less likely.
Some want to go the reformist route to try if it is actually achievable
Most importantly and very evident in the US: 100 yrs of reform can be rolled back in one day. We're seeing that reform is pointless.
Listen, I want to dismantle a LOT of companies that are a thousand times bigger than this.
so if your concern for workplaces is so much higher than for people getting systematically fucked and not that rarely lose everything - even their lives - you're gonna get real unhappy.
I cant count the devices i have. Around 5 phones with different operating systems, one linux. Around six laptops with mostly linux os, one windows i think but havent turned it on in 5 yrs. Many desktops i switched to linux. I mean to donate most of it to local folks soon. Oh and many microcontrollers. Multiple servers which run a variety of private and public services as well as business stuff.
It still is a thing, always will be. People are vastly differently skilled. The problem isnt that there are different abilities but that our centralized meat mill pushes them into categories. It doesnt make you better to have more skill in one area, it just means people should consider listening to you.
