Se hace lo que se puede, pero parece que la participación va a menos.

I could start by leaving twitter

It is truly sad to live in a world where you don’t know if what I say is sarcasm.

On the other hand, specifying it is for cowards.

Something socially productive like asking yourself why you are poor if there are plenty of resources for everyone in society? Not interested

I don’t know either, but if it’s not from Spotify the links don’t work, so if they break the API the program won’t work.

I think this will be a problem for Spotiflac

friend? I do this at work all the time, half my day is dealing with the consequences of not responding on time.

I understand that the Democratic stablishment really works for the economic elite, but what I want to know is what prevents the bases from taking primaries everywhere, bypassing the party, just as has happened in New York, as you yourself say.

I may not know from Europe, but is there fraud in the primaries? Are leftist candidates actively blocked even if they have real verifiable support?

I’m not American, could someone explain to me why people further to the left aren’t capable of doing to Democrats what the Tea Party did to Republicans?

It wasn’t on anyone’s priority list.

I expected it, but not so soon, to be honest.

We all have a narrative and try to convince others; that’s what dialogue in forums is all about. The difference is whether it’s done in good faith, trying to debate, learn and share, or in bad faith, diverting, deceiving and pushing misleading debates to promote hidden ideas.

It is not always easy to distinguish one from another, and organized groups take advantage of that.

There are two effects you’re not considering.

First, if you make the best product, everyone else will leave the business, so you become a monopoly. But almost everything has what are called barriers to entry. I can’t open a microchip factory; the investment is absurd. That’s why large companies can easily buy out startups, and that’s why we constantly see market concentration. It didn’t happen before because until the 1970s, antitrust laws were serious; now they’re a joke.

There’s another important issue: in a 100% free capitalist system, it’s assumed that initial bargaining power isn’t equal, so those with more can pressure those with less, making wealth concentration more and more concentrated. Adequate government regulation can help level the playing field between employer and employee, but that’s another thing that hasn’t been improving in recent decades.

Is Lemmy important enough to attract bots with malicious political intentions? A victory for us.

On a more serious note, I don’t know of any truly effective way to prevent that beyond sheer, hard work and restraint, and even then it’s never easy to distinguish bad intention of legitimate dissenting opinions.

Adding up the spending of all EU members, we spend more than China; we don’t even need to spend more, we just need to unify spending.

I suppose it would be an interesting recommendation to sync data with some cloud service, and not just with Wi-Fi.

Anyone who is reasonably informed

If by any chance they haven’t spent it all and part of the gold still exists—which is really doubtful—I think they would have to go in there with tanks to be able to get it out, and this is not a Trump-related issue; it has been known for decades that the most likely scenario is that the gold is no longer there.

Is this a joke? Does anyone realistically believe that gold will ever set foot on European soil again?

I’ve been testing both for some time and the differences are pretty minor. What I really like about PieFed comes down to two things: how it groups cross-posts and their comments (on the web version), and the moderation tools. The downside is that there are a lot fewer mobile apps that support it.

Cross-posting is an amazing feature that’s still massively underused.
