There’s a twitter that tweets daily union election news and there’s a good amount of attempts to scrape NLRB’s website like unionelections.org, but I’ve been wanting something focused on strikes for forever
Looks like they rely on manually updating a json file for this extension to work, but they use striketracker.ilr.cornell.edu to keep up to date with new strikes. What an amazing resource! Thanks for sharing, OP
They might try to push out actual posts that would show up on other instances.
Not sure what “defederate” means though. Can’t all the major instances just like… stop following tumblr?
Not sure it matters
Hope so
Lol. But on a more serious note, I don’t think it’ll happen until we reach the tipping point of non-tech people getting on it. I had a friend who tried it years ago and it was all just tech nerds so he eventually fell off of it. Yes the business and personalities side of it is big too, but I don’t think it’ll happen until people are joining because their irl friends are on it

Ah didn’t realize there was a Phabricator successor, thanks, will add these and your comments on GitTea to the main post
I see, I wasn’t aware. Thanks for the info!
Let’s do em all!:
Would love to see other people’s one-liner blurbs on these as well
EDIT: added additional alternatives and comments (thanks @poVoq@slrpnk.net especially)
What’s wrong with GitLab? Definitely the most mature alternative.
If you’re really interested in something that will not go down or get discontinued anytime soon, I’d also suggest taking a look at Radicle which is P2P and free
Eh. Probably a good way to limit spam and commercial influence that plagues most attempts at building review sites. I think this is one of the few valid uses of the technique though I’m sure there are other routes they could’ve taken. But things like reputations and trust systems are a big engineering feat to accomplish and get right
Yeah the creation of this community is extremely cringe tbh
Capitalism as such is only a system for the fair exchange of goods and services
No… that’s just a market lol. Capitalism is the ideological belief that those who have wealth are good at turning that wealth into “capital” (which is just wealth that makes more wealth). So the result of this belief is the idea that we should give those who are wealthy more wealth so that they can continue to generate more wealth in total. Rising tides lift all boats type of thing.
Capitalism isn’t just a system. It’s an ideology that even modern economics has disproven
Is it not available to you? It shows up for me. If not, just use sci-hub
This question is specifically geared towards the tough crowd lol
Depends really. You can find a lot of places willing to host a static site. Make a GitHub account and start a repo with just a simple index.html file and then you can use GitHub Pages to freely host it.
The only thing you’d have to pay for is the domain name (about $12/year)
Other services like Netlify or Vercel will also more complex things. This is assuming some programming experience. But tbh, you can learn the basics of HTML and CSS enough to make a solid static site in 1-3 days.
I made a toy to compare about 2 dozen different voting systems (FPTP, RCV, Approval, etc) using colors as a metaphor. Both voters and candidates are colors and how much a voter prefers a candidate is determined by their distance in RGB space
Possibly worse actually. It’s still a big scientific debate and there’s plenty of scientists who are of the opinion that the disruption to seasonal weather patterns, the impacts on ecosystems, the increased ozone depletion, the effects on cloud formation pattterns, etc might end up outweighing the benefits of SAI
What’s missing from this discussion:
Anthropogenic stratospheric aerosol injection would cool the planet, stop the melting of sea ice and land-based glaciers, slow sea level rise, and increase the terrestrial carbon sink, but produce regional drought, ozone depletion, less sunlight for solar power, and make skies less blue
There are plenty of other criticisms of SAI,[0] including the potential impacts on human health as well as smaller organisms that would be even more sensitive like insects and krill; the impacts on cloud formation patterns; disrupting seasonal weather patterns leading to widespread flooding or drought and more.
It’s important to note that even the advocates of SAI pretty universally acknowledge it as a necessary evil (even if we stopped emitting CO2 tomorrow we’d still have to take some measures like these to fight back against the runaway effects that have already begun). And those scientists that oppose it are generally of the opinion that the negative impacts would outweigh the positives. One thing both sides agree on though is that we definitely don’t know enough still
Well for what it’s worth, a more recent publication from that source you posted is this:
https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/can-russia-continue-fight-long-war
However, Russia itself built many of its strategic and operational concepts around short war assumptions. Though it has demonstrated the ability to expend resources at scale so far, the question of whether Russia has all the underpinnings of a state capable of continuing to fight a long war deserves further examination
Russia probably benefits from having stockpiles capable of sustaining combat operations for several years, as well as the capacity to manufacture more at scale. Other capabilities such as tanks and armoured fighting vehicles will, however, need to be regenerated, given the levels of attrition Russia is taking. A key consideration here will be how Russia’s major manufacturers function in the absence of Western components – which, notably, they have failed to substitute in the last decade. After the post-2014 sanctions on defence exports, Russia was able to achieve effective substitution of Western goods in seven out of 127 categories of equipment identified as priorities for import substitution.
It concludes with
To be sure, Russia can cut corners – by excluding the need for refresher courses for militarily experienced individuals, for example. Moreover, its enormous stockpiles in areas like artillery shells mean its military machine will not grind to a halt any time soon. Its military will, however, undergo a progressive devolution in qualitative terms should this option be chosen. Alternatively, Russia could opt to replace lost capabilities with qualitatively comparable materiel and personnel for a second offensive – and will probably succeed in some categories. It will not, however, be able to replace the capacity it is shedding at scale. Given a pause, it can potentially generate enough combat capability to, in conjunction with its remaining pre-war capabilities, enable a subsequent offensive. Its ability to do this depends on whether the Russian system is given the breathing space to conserve existing resources, given its limited ability to replace human and material assets at scale.
So basically Russia needs a pause to be able to withstand this. But given that NATO funding doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon, how much will that really help? The source you posted pointed out Lockheed Martin could easily go from it’s current production of 2,100 missiles a year to 4,000 in a couple years
this is a terrible meme lol. Not even because it’s politics or anything. Just… flat
Not better enough to be worth missing out on all the features GH provides that CB doesn’t. I’d rather they wait for the right platform than have to migrate a second time when CB takes Lemmy down
