Is this like when they made the kilogram some function of the speed of light instead of the weight of a metal ball in a French museum?

And what happens when those foreign workers in Solution #3 age, retire and need pension payouts…? Just keep hiring more and more foreign workers? Besides, “benefits everybody” is only from an national economic perspective. From the cultural, social and personal economic perspective, having a huge influx of foreigners in your country is terrible.

I don’t think foreign labor is completely off the mark but there has to be guards against them costing more money than they contribute to the system, which means strict culture, skill and income requirements for permanent migration.

No, it’s 100% economics. Why do you think that having “careers, lives and travel” (as if having a family is not having a life?) is more appealing to modern first worlders? Because it doesn’t impact their finances severely. Having more children in impoverished countries is a financial gain because children are free labor and lottery tickets to get the entire family out of poverty. In wealthy countries, children are only a financial loss.

Använder inte ChatGPT själv men i min erfarenhet är grammatik inte ChatGPTs svaga punkt (bristande pålitlighet av själva innehållet är största problemet). Kan du posta ChatGPTs svar om du ber den att rätta precis detta inlägg? Det kanske inte finns behov för alternativa tjänster om ChatGPT klarar jobbet.

Hur gör man reklamer för Feddit utan att gå på Reddit och övertyga deras användare att komma hit? Det är ett problem med Fediverse-mjukvarorna att ingen av dem har ett inbyggt sätt att upptäcka nya gemenskaper, så det finns nog danskar på andra instanser som inte vet att feddit.dk finns.

The first distro I used was Ubuntu as part of a computer class at school, but it was preinstalled on a school computer. The first distro I installed on a personal computer was Arch because le reddit said it was le epic hackerman’s IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE TO INSTALL distro. It installed, and after that I didn’t use it because my favorite Windows apps couldn’t work.

Why don’t you start an account there and help them out, or start an account on an instance that is federated with both if you prefer the community there? I personally disagree with their moderation and don’t like the kind of users they approve of, so I’m happy seeing less of them around.

Exactly, if an instance loves to censor others so much they should deal with the consequences of less interaction and visibility. lemmy.ml is also dropping off my feed because their devs have beef with Kbin’s dev and they blocked interactions from all Kbin instances.

Andreas, 10 months ago

That’s relieving to hear. I know the backstory of Kbin is that Ernest was originally a Lemmy contributor but he and Lemmy’s devs got into a disagreement about politics, so he went to start his own project instead. There was no communication about the block from Lemmy’s devs for a while so a lot of people, including me, theorized that it was related to the conflict.

Federated networks are, by design, not able to be constrained by one set of rules and standards. The place you are looking for is Tildes, a centralized, invite-only, text-only website whose selling point is “high quality discussions” and very harsh moderation against anything that does not fit their standard of “high quality”.

I discovered Lemmy around 2019 or 2020 and loved the concept but was put off by the density of commies, so I didn’t create an account and participate but I would check the site around once a year to see if the community had taken off yet.

2020: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2021: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2022: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2023: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet?

YES!

And I am so glad to never have to see the depressing and miserable “culture” that was Lemmy from 2019 to mid-2023 again.

Provade det och hade samma erfarenhet som dig, bara snack om krypto, Nostr och Web3. Jag hittade Nostr genom denna bridge mellan Nostr och ActivityPub, men Nostr-användarnamn visas på ActivityPub som hashes och jag gillar egentligen inte Twitter-formatet. Vi får se om det blir möjligt att skapa ett Reddit-alternativ som använder Nostr.

Are they going to keep the lawsuit focused on OpenAI and Meta or turn it into yet another lawsuit against piracy?

Federated actions are never truly private, including votes. While it’s inevitable that some people will abuse the vote viewing function to harass people who downvoted them, public votes are useful to identify bot swarms manipulating discussions.

It’s Estonian (.ee is the country code for Estonia) but it’s also a cool domain hack and the owner opened it to everyone.

And I’m sure it would also be more convenient to have it all under one roof, just like everything about Germany is under feddit.de, and people from elsewhere can still visit if they like.

I’m trying to advertise my country’s instance, feddit.nu (Sweden). feddit.de got a headstart with Germans by having been created before the Reddit migration and providing the first federated community discovery tool.

Instances that were created after the migration started on the other hand? It’s frustrating with Redditor behavior, because they expect the Lemmy community to share the same name as the Reddit community (/r/Sweden) and only subscribe to communities that use the same name.

If you don’t want your lemmy.world feed to be flooded with languages you can’t understand, please make sure to annoy their users about it as much as possible, in English, that they should move to the country-specific instances instead of centralizing on lemmy.world. It’s healthier for the Fediverse in general with everyone on many instances, in the long run.

I considered buying the P3 or P4 because they’re said to have the best cameras and battery performance, but the end of security updates after 2022 and 2023 respectively turned me off and I got a P6A instead. What are you going to do with your P4A after the support for it ends this year?

I don’t think that you, me and OP have different values on this issue, actually? We all agree that the state is supposed to provide us with a structure to live in that we couldn’t have on our own, and as payment for this safety net, we contribute taxes. My and OP’s argument is that with the current projection of the economy and population growth, the state cannot provide the current generation of tax payers with the structures and support that we will eventually need, and therefore many of us would rather pay lower taxes and lose the benefits, because we won’t be getting them anyway. We know what’s coming and we don’t want to be the ones “holding the bag” when the system collapses.

I’m trying to explain OP’s point to the Americans in this thread who don’t understand that European social security systems are currently under severe strain and are on the road to collapse, and how OP feels to have to sacrifice so much of his potential income to support a failing system. The 80s stereotypes of reliable, high-quality social security no longer hold true in Europe in 2023.
