shoulda put up a wall like you live in europe or something.
? looks like they approved it like a month ago...
The N/T ratio for last week's megathreads landed at about 0.75. Week over week the news megathread has been decelerating. At this rate I expect we'll reach the end of history in 3 to 4 weeks.
are left wing alt blogs even worth investing the time from the perspective of the feds? as far as i can tell it's mostly windowlickers and roderick day.
I agree that simply nationalizing everything and calling it a day is not a good strategy to establish a robust socialist state because of adversarial capitalist countries. However for the sake of a poll it's not exactly a terrible answer. For sure it's reductive and incomplete but it's pointing in the right direction.
I swear to god trying to parse twitter posts makes me think i have reading comprehension problems.
I don't really follow this. If the government nationalizes all industry how do the rich still own everything? The state is bourgeois because of the power imbalance from the bourgeoisie owning everything. If the state owns everything how is it a bourgeois state? Where does the power of the bourgeoisie come from?
Following that, let's say the government is a dictatorship of the proletariat. What does that mean in practice? Who owns the means of production? Is it the government?
In 2023, 65% of people offered shelter by our workers rejected those offers. This year, that number has risen to 75%. Out of 617 engagements by our teams over the last two weeks, only 77 people accepted shelter. That means 88% of the people we encountered refused to accept a roof over their heads. This is unacceptable.
Why? They can't be refusing shelter for no reason.
Since 2018, we’ve expanded shelter slots by over 60% and housing slots by more than 50%. We have more housing for the formerly homeless than any county in the Bay Area, including counties with larger homeless populations. Per capita, we have more homes for the formerly homeless than any city in the country, other than Washington, D.C. We’ve helped over 15,000 people exit homelessness since I took office. And another 10,000 have received rental assistance or other support to prevent them from falling into homelessness.
Ok. But is that enough to do this sort of ultimatum successfully?
And we need to build more housing. I’m not just talking about permanent supportive housing — we need more homes across our entire city so people don’t fall into homelessness. We cannot address homelessness without building homes — tens of thousands of them — to make this city more affordable and accessible. Until the Bay Area and California begin building much, much more housing, we will still struggle. (And the demise this week of the regional housing bond is a frustrating setback.)
Oh ok so there isn't enough homes to do this but we're going to do it anyway.
This guy made license plate scanning and facial recognition and other software to support the police state.
i think its a combination. there is some astroturfing but redditors are more eager to groupthink than they'd like to admit.
Personally I don't see an issue with that. Back in the old days most posts didn't have likes.
im just praying for the day the lemmy devs decide to ditch the tree view and embrace chaos
Don't be cringe. You found a funny bug, just enjoy it.
oh the method is described in the github issue lmao.
the reality is people will just vote less and that's fine.
where would they send you? I'm sure part of the bureaucratic process for this is them asking "what is your other citizenship and can you prove it?" and if you can't they just don't process it. Not because they necessarily care about your personal status but that it would become a bigger hassle to deal with some person who is legal nowhere than to just forgo the $4000.
This really should be the norm. If you look at old phpbb sites and the like generally when you “like” or “find a post helpful” or whatever they call it they will list the users who have liked a post.
This whole anonymous voting thing is again a redditism that lemmy devs need to break free from.
