Bouzouki, because I’ll be pretty ashamed of my purchase if I don’t
Maybe public opinion will change now that there’s white victims of the genocide too
If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?
The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.
Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?
But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then
Does it make sense or is it justified?
There’s quite a difference
If you can blame him for anything, you can say that he couldn’t imagine just how bad late stage capitalism could get.
Though I’m not sure if that takes away from his other arguments or makes them all the more prevalent.
I’m from Greece.
30 years ago people were still living the dream which was all a house of cards called loans. Then the market crisis happened and we got fucked unable to get new ones and pay off the old ones.
After that, we kept getting blackmailed by the Eurozone and the IMF so that we would get the loans we needed to fix our country, but under harsh conditions that basically sustain our poverty instead of fixing it in any way. We signed away the people’s livelihoods so that we could be Europe’s economic lab rat and slave, all to their benefit.
Our current government is as liberal capitalist as it gets, privatizing everything and making life crap for the poor (who are becoming more and more as time passes). Fascism is also on the rise, following the theme of Europe and the US.
The government owns almost all the media and most other parties in the parliament are also aligned with the ruling one. Climate change is beggining to hit hard, every time revealing the cheap infrastructure and postponed plans by contractors.
Instead of hiring more firemen, our government continues to allocate way too much money on cops, riot control, and the media it bribes.
Maybe the EU’s fucking around ends up with a communist revolution, I bet they won’t be too happy about it then.
I’m from Greece, I hope things get better for you
Marx was right and it’s getting obscenely obvious
open air prison
I bet they’re pro Israel too at the same time
We are now living in a society built around individualism and survival of the fittest. There are very few remaining third places and the people are too accustomed to this way of living in order to participate in them. As a consequence, it’s more common than ever for people to have no real friends, especially working adults.
It begins with free speech, then you skip a few years and suddenly trans kids are scared for their lives. Speech affects people and has consequence, it is not something to take lightly.
Microsoft as usual trying to make a Swiss Army knife where none of the tools work as intended
Can we stop reinventing the wheel constantly ffs?
Electric windows, electric handbrakes, computers in control of everything and now electric fucking doors?
What’s even the point besides artificially upping the price and selling it as a “luxury product” that can barely function in an emergency?
What’s the point of even “modernising” task manager?
Normies that would care about task manager being too ugly probably don’t know it even exists.
There goes the last dependable program that Windows had to offer
The “ch” affricate (which is t͡ʃ in the IPA) is a mix of a voiceless alveolar stop component and a post-alveolar fricative component. Because “y” is palatal, you end up getting that post-alveolar fricative component through coarticulation.
The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
