  • Have you been to Mexico City or (even more so) Guadalajara since the Pandemic? Multinational techs are investing and building up campuses like crazy. Reminds me of the go-go years of Bangalore in the 2000's.

    Mexico has a real possibility of moving up the value chain and gobbling up all the good stuff Trump is pushing away from the USA

  • And similarly why you find a lot of Caucasians with Mandarin script tattooed on their skin. It's cool, they like the meaning, and they don't have to be Confucian or whatever

  • it is, their own new one with blackjack and hookers and more Python, less Rust

  • They did that!

  • Some of us Atheists unironically wear religious stuff because it looks stylish, because the words sound cool, or because we like and appreciate the fandom of a particular story, even if we realize people made it all up. I can wear Dr Who swag for the same reasons.

  • Lemmy is better because there are open standards and alternate servers.

    Humans are mostly all the same; incentives pervert or ennoble us.

    Centralized power and monetary incentive tend to the former

  • state murdered aaron

    I want a President do declare Aaron Swartz Day a day of national mourning and shame, with hopeful reflection on the immense value of open source & creative commons. Maybe with a public investment in open source commons like browser or mobile OS.

    Yes this is my hobby horse and I am riding it

  • which cancer is worse

    all of them, esp when we have a cure (Fedi/OpenSource)

  • Centralized, corporate information sources suck

    Fedi FTW

  • yup

    To reduce stuff like this we could fund a lot of social workers and public-benefit psychiatry

    Doing so in the USA for a solid decade would probably cost less than one free plane

  • This. Charles Manson would still be a murderer, even if the Beatles had never made the White Album

  • Well USA is not the only NATO member with nukes, maybe Trump needs a reminder

  • Somewhere an NH motorist got a good score but failed the miniboss

  • Just think, she could have been a perfectly respectable OnlyFans model

    Instead she she will be in the dustbin next to Goebbels

  • Honestly curious how you concluded this

  • I work for one of the world's largest proprietary software companies.

    100% agree with you

    Countries should fund open source OS, browser, mobile OS. It is in their best interest.

  • ofc this is Fedi so that's just a list; there is no the list

    so decentralized, so Internet

  • shit registration functions

    ... and there are some shit moderators here, just like on Reddit

    ... and there are some really high-value communities here, because of really good moderation -- just like on Reddit

    EDIT: But it's Federated, and therefore much more self-healing in that decentralized Internet way

  • Running will do for a spell. But I intend to stay and (politically) fight.

    Besides, I'm not sure anywhere is significantly better than USA for places to stand against it. No place with humans is immune to the disease of leader worship.

    Iran was once a relatively tolerant democracy. Then the people who actually take their religion seriously took over.
