You switch to higher or lower gears according to the road and traffic, if a turn is coming up I break and then lower my gear, if it's all straight ahead with no cars then I go faster and raise my gear. Sometimes I need more acceleration in order to go faster, so I lower my gear and then raise it again.
I don't agree with people here not caring about this. Why should anyone earn below the poverty line?
If producing value is what gives you the right to live, then why do managers and manager's managers get so highly paid?
Does that also mean that artists shouldn't get to live either unless they're doing graphic art for a company?
The sad part is that it wasn't always like this. Hunter gatherer communities cared for their pack (with a few exceptions, like sick and disabled members that can't keep up) because if the pack survives then they will survive as well. But with the advent of agriculture, individualism popped up more and more, the good of all no longer meant as much.
I wish it didn't but historically and logically speaking, there's no other way.
The unethical stone cold people rise to the top, and the few who are powerful yet maintain their morals are not nearly powerful enough to fight the rest. Critical change has always come about with revolutions, either violent or technological. And I don't think technology can improve anything for us at this point, if anything it will make things harder.
I've only ever driven a manual, but having heard how good automatics have gotten, I think driving manual is pointless nowadays unless you're doing it for fun. It definitely feels better when you're going on a highway, but if you're driving in the city it's unbearable.
A faulty system is bound to be worked around and taken advantage of by everyone that is able to.
The US is very far from a democracy because of it, and it won't change because the most powerful people will do anything to keep it in place.
I get so frustrated when people find it extremely weird that I care about my privacy at all and haven't accepted that I'm under surveillance 24/7.
I know I can't achieve full privacy, but why is a little more privacy a bad thing and why do they take it so damn personally, without even telling them to do the same. There are so many people who are cucks for corporations, silently accepting every new violation of their rights as if they have no alternative.
It's sad for Bernie and other leftist parties that they can mathematically never get into power, but this is the smartest thing he can do given the system. Use his publicity to promote the closest party to his own so that the fascists don't get into power.
This is a very good decision, I worried about this problem from the very beginning that I learned about the Fediverse.
Research must definitely be done to find CSAM detection tools that integrate into Lemmy, perhaps we could make a separate bridge repo that integrates a tool like that easily into the codebase.
I hope every disgusting creature that uploads that shit gets locked up
I was trying to find one but couldn't so I came here, I can cross-post it if needed.
Most big instances federate with everyone
This is basically what I don't understand, how would they federate with me if they don't know I exist? Would I have to ask a big instance to federate with me first and then the rest would find me from there perhaps?
Exactly this. I'm fortunate enough that the skills I'm good at have a lot of demand at the moment, but people I know that are more hard working than I am and very talented, struggle to get by just because their job for some reason is considered less worthy to pay for.
Wanting to maintain this rotten system is the purest form of greed.
That's probably true.. It would be nice if people would voluntarily read books at all ages and get educated so that they can have actual political beliefs instead of 'x party good, y party bad'
Going to a hybrid would technically be easy it's true, but very few people know Kotlin so no one would write it, not even the ones who know it since others need to be able to read it.
I'm not nearly high enough hierarchically to call a shot like this or be able to continually enforce it. I usually always ask my team leader for his opinion even if I'm simply adding some kind of dependency.
