86·10 months agoWhy the down votes ?
The deep-pocketed tech industry of Silicon Valley has historically voted for Democrats. But in the last month, a cadre of tech executives has risen up for Donald Trump, both on the grounds that he will be friendlier to the industry and that President Joe Biden was unfit to serve a second term.
Glad to see at least some media in Europe highlighting this.
3·11 months agoOh well, that is demotivating to hear about German government. But the EU is hopefully different, and countries will have to listen to the EU and not the other way around.
This is the story by one of the millionaires who is supporting the Tax The Rich, EU campaign :

1·11 months agoHell, no. Don’t put the responsibility on victims to help their bullies/abusers.
I see. In Europe things are different.
Here is an example of a school which has anti-bullying policy :
https://www.eeb3.eu/app/uploads/2022/03/B3-Anti-bullying-Policy-EN.pdf- Our Anti-Bullying Policy is based on the principles that:
- Each individual must be treated with respect
- Bullying is never an individual problem, as it degrades the atmosphere at school.
- Bullying is a problem that can be addressed.
- All members of the school community (school staff, parents and pupils) are called upon to prevent and
react against all forms of bullying. - All members of the school community must have the opportunity to be listened to, respected and
supported.
Also, it’s not always a clear cut bully/victim dynamic. My school had a loner gun-loving asocial student. He probably thought he was bullied. In reality he made people, especially the girls, super uncomfortable and he was avoided. No one really made fun of him, never physically attacked him, never pulled pranks on him, just avoided him. Not inviting his friendship is not bullying. He needed professional help.
Forcing me, for example, to talk to him and pretend to be his friend would have been bad for both of us. He needed counseling/therapy, which I was not and still am not qualified to provide, and I needed safe friends I could trust.
Okay. That is a lone wolf example, it is not about active bullying.
I consider bullying to be violent in general.
Even words can be damaging for some people.
The whole “boys don’t cry” is a tragedy in my opinion and has done a lot of emotional damage already.And reading this today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_L._Trump#Personal_life I would not be at all
surprised if Donald Trump would benefit from long time therapy.
The 20-year old suspect involved in yesterday’s shooting at Donald Trump’s rally was reportedly bullied relentlessly, the local Pennsylvania outlet KDKA reports.
Probably Right-to-left script like with Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
8·1 year agoSecond time today I see a post on Lemmy pointing to Reddit, and not even old Reddit :(
There was a comment on Mastodon or Lemmy saying that the bad actor had been working with the project for two years so earlier versions may have malicious code as well already.
Lovely.
Well, you know. There is more than one tldr project. Debian repositories offer the Haskell and Python based tldr ones. But, yeah, it is awesome. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tldr
Can you insert Lp0 on fire as well ? :) https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/7306628
lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message still generated on some Unix/Linux operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system.
Upvoted for the good laugh. But needless to say this world needs more Linux users! :)
Your comment suggests that it is pointless to avoid tracking. In 2019 journalist Kashmir Hill tried to live without the tech giants and failed : I Tried to Live Without the Tech Giants. It Was Impossible.
But if you look a bit deeper at this, my conclusion is that it all depends on your needs and your habits. It is quite possible to minimize the amount of tracking that is done.
And doing so makes me feel a bit more relaxed personally about the surveillance capitalism circus and that is well worth it.
Pi-hole looks nice. Thanks for mentioning it ! https://pi-hole.net/
There were elections in two states in the east of Germany last weekend. In one of them the far right party AfD gained most votes compared to others. In the other state they finished second largest. There is nothing decisive however. Other parties have been called to set up a firewall “Brandmauer” to prevent the AfD to govern.
Exactly. In the last few decades Turkey and Hungary were among the first to shift to far right party based governments in Europe. An interesting read is this book by Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran (Who fled the country) which is about Turkey going downhill from democracy to dictatorship. This book also reflects on Trump winning in 2016. At some point also Poland had a far-right government but the damage from that is slowly being repaired by a new government. By now among others Slovakia, Italy and the Netherlands have far-right government coalitions. Outside Europe there was Bolsonaro in Brazil. Still, Trump winning (legally or not) would be bad for the rest of the world, especially for Ukraine.
