The pollution is the direct result of other countries outsourcing their manufacturing to exploit chinese labor for increased profits

The Chinese government allows this… Why is this the fault of everyone else? It’s the government’s job to regulate the industry and manage trade.

The point of this statement is not to say “nuh uh the pollution is america’s fault”, it’s to say that this manufacturing would have happened somewhere in the world regardless, and is not for domestic consumption, so it’s a bit silly to say “look china’s polluting so much” when they are producing goods for the entire world. China turning away manufacturing work to “reduce” emissions would not decrease emissions globally, if anything it would likely increase them, as few if any other countries can muster the economies of scale and wide trading relationships that chinese industry have access to

do it. Almost anything beats comcast, on price, speed, reliability, customer service, anything

I picked a random spot in their coverage area and this is the plans it offered.

It’s an issue but its a pretty niche one. Even software that works great on most distros might misbehave when you have multiple desktop environments installed. And http_proxy use doesn’t appear to be standardized by freedesktop, LSB, etc. Though it is pretty well adhered to: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/27/we-need-to-talk-no-proxy/

So yeah, I agree with the spirit of this but its tough to follow the standard when there is no standard

ehhhhhh no its a genuine issue to honor gnome settings when gnome isn’t running IMO. That isn’t the correct system/user configuration to load if you’re running under sway…

I’ll say it again

Did you even read the article? Do you have anything to say about the example discussed in it?

by cops… who are typically directed to do so by mayors… who are usually dems…

“these right wingers” are just predominantly brown leftists you disagree with. Did you even read the article?

If you’ve ever lived in a strongly blue major city for any length of time you’ll have seen this play out. Liberal mayor runs on big promises of reform, of progressive policy, maybe even of radical change, and a few years later there’s another incident, more unrest, whatever, and they’re first in line to have the cops put it down with force. There’s a whole interplay with right wing media and racist voters and other factors, but time and time again dem local governments choose to enact “law and order” overpolicing over solving the fundamental systemic issues causing violence, property crime, etc

autistic women do exist…

wonder how it is on aarch64, I might try it

I can see how that would feel good, but unless they were selling ads directly to friendly companies (and even disregarding the fact that it seems unlikely there would be many/any given their anticapitalist bent), this would make the project almost no money, while annoying users and opening them up to a lot of criticisms and a lot of overhead work building it and keeping that system running. Plus the vast majority of instances would probably not willingly run ads to benefit the devs, either due to not wanting ads or political disagreements with the devs, so it’d be only lemmy.ml and some micro instances. A nominal donation of $1/month from users like you, who may not want to spend much but does want to support in some way, would make them more money than a years worth of browsing

liberapay is probably the best. For payments processed there by stripe the fee avg is around 3.1%, and there’s no additional fee to the platform. Patreon ends up being like 15-20% iirc when you add up all fees. Unsure about opencollective or ko-fi

this was a good way to find out my former liberapay had crapped out over a year ago

It really doesn’t

“israel” doesn’t need to control the US government for them to have a shared interest in genocide, colonialism, militarism. “Israel” has serious undue influence, but that functions as an internal discipline tool in the US establishment just as much as it serves “israel’s” interests. It’s tolerated, but ultimately the US holds most of the cards

I have noticed shows like this tend to be hard to find. There’s just a lot of them and less replayability I suppose than narrative shows. For certain ones youtube actually has a lot (jay leno and craig ferguson) due to dedicated archiving effort by fan channels but idk about Kilborn. If I find anything I’ll comment again

my thoughts exactly. I’ll stick with sway
