They’ve been reverting a lot of that Nordic socialism due to the usual anti-immigrant rhetoric

That whole Spotify Connect feature and Sonos support is what keeps me in the ecosystem, unfortunately…

And has been around for a long long year

Tell that to China, with their 5 year plans. Capitalism is also not the way to move forward - it heavily promotes inequality and strife in the world.

Caring for the needy isn’t charity, it’s making sure they aren’t needy. Promoting entrepreneurship isn’t companies popping up left and right doing Uber but for dogs kind of idea, it’s solving the world’s biggest problems with new ideas.

You can’t guard society against the excesses of capitalism because capitalism promotes corruption, artificial scarcity, and waste of resources by design.

With this being said, to change how the western world acts we must recognize that the party system exists to sustain itself and we won’t have real change if we don’t change it for power to be given to real people and not career politicians (or build guillotines)

Arachnophobia

Algorithmically curated timelines are designed to be addictive. Fediverse doesn’t have that, it’s time based, like it used to be before.

Do we think traffic data will ever be available for a project like this one? Or maybe it already is and I just don’t know.

Over 25 years ago, during the dial-up era, there were many computers compromised with certain worms that would open up your computer for remote connections. One of the possibilities when connected was to download the system saved passwords including those for the dial up software. I had many, many, such logins saved including corporate and education ones, with no time caps. During about a year I would only pay for the phone call, not for the internet service. Simpler times.

A private company shows up that gets federal funding while the space agency gets funding consistently cut while having to support multiple, multi-year, billion dollar projects.

A private company whose survival is 100% reliant on government money.

Capitalists on Lemmy: private company is better just because it’s private

Me too, Slackware - we’re getting old aren’t we?

SZA, you know, that girl that was singing on stage with Kendrick, dated Drake. They broke up when she was still underage.

Nothing matters and all you have are the stories and the memories

No, they don’t. The US military spending far outpaces any other country. The US spends more than the next 10 countries combined! You don’t “need” that much spending, but your GDP is happy for that extra trillion every year that some day will trickle down for sure wink wink.

In summary, your rhetoric is pure propaganda of conservative talking points, unfortunately.

This is to pressure public opinion so that the remaining members of Congress and Senate vote to enable the ultra rich to pay their fair share.

It’s not meaningless theater, it’s politics, and effective political action.

Which is described in Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco. It’s part of the fascist rethoric.

I’ve always liked tea and coffee, since I’ve first tried it as a kid. It was not an acquired taste for me at all. Without sugar or milk or anything else. I don’t understand the opposite, why do people fill stuff with sugar.

Alcohol, however, has been more of an acquired taste and in my 40s I still don’t enjoy it that much.

Sounds fantastic!

Rest assured, I’m from Lisbon and all family is as well. I never thought of any place in Portugal as “inbred” (other stereotypes apply to different regions though). Love the Azores, btw.
