  • The system is geared towards negative presumption of the recent past even as it glorifies and reveres the long past (ancient philosophers and religious figures).

    Just in case most of us figure out that anything we think of as new or intractable problems are things that we knew about and were deliberately ignored or actively campaigned against by the same forces that do it now.

  • Greece banned golden dawn as a criminal organisation and while a lot of members splintered into other parties it was overall a success in nearly removing all their influence as a political organisation from Greek politics - so, overall banning the fascist party, at least in one instance, worked.

  • I doubt it would be a problem for Australia where 30% of the population is foreign born.

    Also, having been to a hospital a few times during the last year for friends and relatives I’m pretty sure more than 60% of doctors were not white.

    And either way, even if a small portion of the population would choose to avoid the imported specialists, their mere presence in the marketplace and being used by the vast number of people that don’t care would lower the prices for everyone.

  • The real problem is the choke hold the doctors’ lobby has on the numbers of specialists.

    As a contrast, Australia has 1440 specialists per million people while Greece has 2700 per million. No other profession in Australia is insulated from competition as much as doctors.

    I bet you if you told any doctor in Europe they could earn 1/5th of what the doctors here are earning they’d fall over themselves to come to Australia.

    We’re importing low wage workers like they’re going out of fashion let’s open the floodgates in Universities and hospitals and create and import specialists instead with the same tempo.

    There’s something obscenely wrong here when we talk about costs of healthcare and no political party raises the central issue.

  • We only know what ends up in our eyes and ears and while some of us have the ability to remember and cross check and actively hunt for info and compare most of us don’t have the inclination or time.

    Unless/until we put algorithmic feeds back in a box we’re due for a new dark age.

  • Yes, obviously there are vested interests as you mentioned that would like things as they were, the question is why would you think it’s in your interest to publicly declare it as a vote winning talking point?

  • Caitlin Johnston has had some insane takes over the years and constantly parrots Russian propaganda, even as Russia was invading Ukraine and up to now.

    I don’t care if us drones are actually getting destroyed but given how naive a lot of Caitlin’s takes are I would want a second and third source confirmation before believing this.

  • Getting it second hand or pirating it will give no money up the chain.

    The gameplay itself is rather shallow, the puzzles rather meh, the story is ok - but if you want to be lost in a magical version of Edinburgh and Scottish castles, it will do that impressively.

    The environment in the game is mind blowing.

    Just insanely carefully and lovingly built, it’s clearly a work of passion for many artists who grew up with the books who I think must be very far away from jkr and her hate-spouting just by all kinds of small details and choices in the game.

    Requires a gutsy pc.

  • I’ve tried it with forgejo, the recommended implementation involves spinning a temporary vm to run the integration and deployment processes, quite resource heavy and slow comparatively to the vm I have that’s running forgejo.

    I think there’s an option to have the forgejo server itself run the commands without spinning up vms, but it’s not recommended due to security considerations as they’re running with the same privileges as the server - not a concern if you are the only developer connecting to a private instance of forgejo but something to keep in mind.

  • Yes. The argument is, raise the burden of proof: you are proving what my intent was, and what actions I took, but you should be proving negative market effects. Just because I said it, and I did it, doesn’t mean I succeeded. And if I didn’t there’s no reason to be broken up.
