solariplex,

DepYou could attempt the non-selfish kind and just donate it all to an independent health/rescue org like Red Cross/Red Crescent.

You could also go the kinda-selfish route like Alfred Nobel, known in his time as the merchant of death. Make an elaborate award&grant giving scheme for exceptional contributions to society in a variety of fields; boosting said contributions for many years. Would only recommend this route if you’ve got more than enough coin to spare, as the overhead of ensuring ethical operation is significant.

If you’ve got a house, you could transfer ownership to a trust/foundation/housing coop, to make it available for living at below market price.

I’d donate to various free software & open hardware projects important to societal improvement; like Mozilla, certain fediverse projects, PostmarketOS, Fairphone, etc. Also anarchist orgs.

solariplex,

Climbing vines like that have a tendency to tear into cracks in whatever they’re climbing, increasing water ingress. They also tear off the protective layering on brick/concrete walls.

Looks hella dope though🌳

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...

solariplex,

Shouldn’t it at least be (potential yearly wage*50 + potential pension) adjusted for inflation?

My shitty napkin calculations puts that at about 750k, which still isn’t a lot, but a helluva lot more than he actually got.

$7.5 * 40h * 45weeks * 50years = lost wages = 675k Wages * 0.1 = pension = 67.5k

solariplex,

I see, makes some sense

solariplex,

Uuuuh. There are only a couple lagrange points, unlike the massive amount of normal satellite paths available in LEO and HEO.

We absolutely should not allow any single actor (apart from the UN, maybe) to lay claim to the precious lagrange real estate

solariplex,

They were revealed to brag to ad sellers about having access to tons of sensitive information about its customers, by spying on e.g. ambient conversations through smartphones and smart TVs, right?

Or was it them who requested customers install an xfinity root certificate on their phone, without telling it would enable xfinity to man-in-the-middle all their internet activity?

Funny, it’s almost like fucking around with peoples’ privacy and security inevitably leads to finding out

solariplex,

Hello, fellow SN enjoyer! That’s where I first heard it as well

solariplex,

…it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

solariplex,

Wooo friend was that a good read!

To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story

solariplex,

It’s very misleading to say that “Cuba is keeping itself isolated”. Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that ‘threat’ is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

solariplex, (edited )

I’m not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

  • "Cuba is isolated because it wants to be"
  • “Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers”
  • “Conditions are bad in Cuba”
  • “The US gets alot of doctors from abroad”

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I’m not disputing points 2,3&4.

Saudi Arabia Is Trying to Block a Global Deal to End Fossil Fuels | The world’s leading oil exporter has become the most forceful opponent of a new agreement at the U.N. climate summit (www.nytimes.com)

The Saudi delegation has flatly opposed any language in a deal that would even mention fossil fuels — the oil, gas and coal that, when burned, create emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Saudi negotiators have also objected to a provision, endorsed by at least 118 countries, aimed at tripling global renewable...

solariplex,

I’m a user on slrpnk.net and thoroughly enjoy my home feed. Climate, nature, solarpunk futurism, memes, soil, activism, creative pursuits, anarchism, different kinds of liberation.

If you do decide to move; I’d be pleased to have you as part of my home instance

solariplex,

Indeed, what good is all that public health spending when health corporations and orgs are determined to maximize profit, and no authority is willing to curtail their efforts

solariplex,

Hey Jeff, it’s a good idea to scrub the timestamp parameter (?t=160) from any video links like that to avoid the video starting at the end, like here :)

This very important strike you probably haven't heard of has now been going on for about 6 months

You probably haven’t heard of the battle pitting BCTGM Union Local 390G against International Flavors (IFF) in Memphis, TN, USA. But with workers who are mega-exploited and a company that refuses to stand down, it has become one of the most relevant for the working class....

solariplex,

Do you have a union at your workplace? Please consider striking in solidarity with the striking IFF workers.

Is IFF employing union-busting tactics? If so, do unionized workers elsewhere have the legal right to refuse working with IFF, even without joining in a sympathy strike? (This is the case in Norway, but I’m no US expert)

solariplex,

Someone should nugde his shoulder, stare into his eyes, and whisper “you have more wealth than 3 billion people combined

How do you deal with disability discrimination at work?

I’m looking for a little advice because I’m feeling pretty lost. Without going too far into it, my manager at work is using things that she knows are part of my disability, autism, to give others a negative impression of my work performance and conduct, and causing me to be disciplined. I believe she’s trying to have me...

solariplex,

Are you in a union with your coworkers?

If so, if you get called into any (non-open-to-everyone) meetings the coming weeks/months, make sure your union rep is right there with you.

If not, you should unionize

solariplex,

That’s unfortunate. I’m not sure what the situation is at your location, but here in Norway literally every type of work from cleaning shores, through industry and even CEOs, have their respective union. So there might be a relevant union for your workplace, still. Safety for the employees lies in numbers.

In the short term though, I’d recommend reaching out to a local/regional union-of-interest, like a “disabilities-in-the-workplace” watchdog organization.

Your boss&CO sound willing to infantilize you, if it becomes a case, so solid evidence of their conduct is important. though let’s hope your emails solved it, and makes them realize their wrongs.

Keep recordings of all work meetings the coming year

  • keep your phone in your pocket, make sure your phone mic is pointed in the right direction, and test sound quality beforehand. Garble is not useful for anything.
  • if possible, you should have a ‘panic’ button sequence on your phone, to hide/stop recording.
  • do not admit you have faults not caused by your condition, on tape!
  • You have the right to know who will be part of a meeting, and what the meeting is about, beforehand. They can still spring a meeting on you, if they don’t care.
