Some European countries have a 40 hour work week maximum (volunteered overtime is allowed).

The US is still living in the 1800s when it comes to labor rights so we don’t have the freedom of a living wage for 40 hours of work.

English is such a dumb fucking language. I really hope we reform it some day to reduce the time future generations waste learning all the stupid exceptions to every single rule

Maybe in Europe, but in the US At-will employment means that you can be fired at any moment without cause, without warning and without severance.

Or China! Open source is basically digital communism so maybe they’ll step in and support it like they did with the World Health Organization

Freedom from mind flaying (advertising) !

Worse still, half of the wood from these trees was rendered unusable when the massive trees hit the ground

Jokes aside, all of my favorite IDEs have an option to use VIM key bindings so learning VIM makes it easier to learn other IDEs.

That alone was enough to convince me to learn VIM

Flatpaks work great on my laptop, but they have can have issues if you use multiple hard-drives or partitions. Especially for gaming.

Lead poisoning. Leaded gasoline started in the 1930s, but in the 50s and 60s we destroyed our public transportation and then destroyed millions of black homes to build highways through our cities. So leaded gasoline peaked in the 70s.

Oh, and boomers, who have the most lead brain damage, hold all the political power because they hold all the wealth.

Is it an artifical block or is windows 11 just so bloated that it can’t run correctly on older hardware?

Isn’t Android open source? I like Linux, but I alternate being amazed by Linux and frustrated by how buggy the experience is. Everything on my Android phone / tablet just works effortlessly. But with Linux, it is a crap shoot. My Linux audio drivers kept popping my speakers and it took me hours to figure out the bug. Then when I run wine for a game it randomly thinks it doesn’t have enough storage space. Or how Chrome was having memory leaks. Or all the times I have had to use special bash commands or directly edit configuration files

Yeah, I have a fondness for Norse history but mostly from a sustainability perspective. The people who settled Iceland were incredibly efficient with their resources and I think we could learn a lot from the turf houses they built… But I am about as far left as a person can get. I want open boarders, worker co-ops, the abolishment of billionaires, free college / healthcare, and a slow and steady attempt to pursue communist goals.

When did the french become such insatiable bootlickers? As long as billion dollar corporations are still making billions then they should be told to kindly fuck off.

She’s a lawyer, so you won’t see her advocating for a violent uprising

Ah, yes, because the Nazis were famously beaten by lawyers…

We know from history that fascism cannot be beaten peacefully. We cannot appease or argue our way out of this problem.

Luigi did something. We need more Luigis, but I fear we will get peasant-brain brown shirts instead

Exactly. Republicans don’t have a filibuster proof super majority in the Senate so Dems could filibuster the Senate to death to block Trump appointments from being voted on like Republicans did to Dems, but no, rich white liberals aren’t hurt by Trump’s fascism so they don’t care

That’s because billionaires like Robert Murdock own all our media and they use their power to push disinformation to undermine class solidarity and democracy.

If we want to save the world then we have to get rid of the billionaires asap as they are the greatest threat to democracy.

A bit sad how pessimistic everyone is.

Americans are pessimistic because we don’t have a functional democracy and our fascist oligarchs are too stupid to use their resources to fight climate change… And the rest of the world is pessimistic because the world’s most powerful economy and military has fallen to fascist oligarchy.

Nothing will change until we abolish the billionaires and replace our two party system with a modern multiparty parliamentary system with proportional representation

Brother, nazis were right wingers who demonized minorities. Anyone who punches down at vulnerable lgbt or ethic minority groups has the heart of a Nazi.
