gaywallet thanks for all the links and resources I had already looked at them. I told you I was interested in that specific period because I find important to have such correlation, I already know about the existing increase overall. The way you insist on this makes me think you are assuming bad faith on my side which is not the case. I don’t like this.

That’s why you remove the ssd/hdd yourself, or ask the tech to remove it for you beforehand. Even if it is totally encrypted. Also, learn repairing your devices, not worth it letting some random dude repair it anyway.

😂😂 people who recommend Telegram and Signal as “privacy alternatives” 😂😂 people who fall for that 💔

For the science of profit while fucking up people yes. Thought the oppium wars would have teached something to the communists, instead they like showing off how big a cigar they can suck.

Original article

adult handgun owners carrying a loaded handgun on their person doubled from 2015 to 2019

So one can hypothesize it might have had some impact in gun violence. It just does not look like it was a research question for the study. But this question interests me.

Yeah. Still none of those report on 2015-2019. I’m aware it increases gun violence. I mostly criticizing the article for not making an actual correlation, which I find is an important information to add.

I should have been more specific yes. Anyway the article is lacking very much because it does not show the correlation. Also maybe the correlation should be adjusted for the social isolation period that lead to an increase in things like mass shootings

logically means that you think carrying guns keeps individuals safer

Ah no. In a scenario in which everyone carries a gun, it only seems riskier to not carry a gun as well

Also read: how capitalism destroyed society and is going to destroy all forms of life except the capitalist class

Ofc. What I asked is the change/increase during that period, from 2015 to 2019. I asked for the data

If anyone can carry a gun, I would carry one as well. And what is the correlation with gun violence?

Nice. Ditch WhatsApp. Use an app that has no user identifiers to begin with so no chance of that happening, that is apps like https://simplex.chat/

That’s because you have enough information. Most watching do not; and they are not the ones who decide to fund it. If people could directly choose in a transparent way what to do with their taxes, do you think most would actively and authentically choose to fund it?

anybody watching and enjoying the WC have some serious problems with their ethical faculties and a severe lack of empathy.

Most have no idea. The people with issues are capitalists, government, soccer teams, …

No (I do not consume anything sports unless it is for learning purposes). I like playing soccer though

We need sustainable killing machines and weapons of mass destruction instead!!

Go with mulvad if you need a VPN for any other reason than anonymity then

Tor. VPN is not trying to be anonymous, it was not designed for that.

That is just for enhancing their own systems, surveillance capitalism, and so on… No need to read the article to know that.

No. This leads to the commercialization/capitalization of accounts and “karma farming” in general. Increases numbers of bots, decreases content quality. It will become yet another Reddit. If Lemmy implements that I will be out of here.

Hope you devs can see the issues with it @nutomic@lemmy.ml and not become liberals. Stop the gamification!

No. I think people might just not have anything better going on in their lifes, do not know about any other topic, [include external factors], so that is most what they have to talk about. I dislike it as well. If they work for capitalists as most people do, talking about work for socializing with friends is worse yet (alienation and all that). Also, I think it is pitiful when people/workers identify with whatever the capitalist company/organization they work for (capitalist company which explores the workers).

what? simplex does not falls back to sms.

As expected.

Fixing issues, adding features, hard forking when I disagree on some fundamental aspects including both technical and social/governance, collaboration…

You question should be towards the free software community in general. Specifically to Linux, I like learning from its documentation and development process, compiling custom kernels, looking at the source…

Worry about surveillance capitalism and mass surveilance instead. This “imperfect”, nothing to hide stance is just distraction from the real issue.

An issue I see is that public instances are not properly announced/listed.

and for sourcehut, i could not find anything.

What are the signs? Gitea federation is being worked on. The Gitea fork is needed to address the Gitea for-profit issue.

We have Codeberg. So there is no need in recommending sourcehut if the priority is promoting democratic services.

He generating a job for himself is not what I criticize. I criticize promoting an undemocratic service for something so crucial that needs to be democratic which includes free service by default (otherwise you do not stand a chance against moving people out of GitHub and the like). I would never recommend to people in general a commercial and thus undemocratic service for key development (vcs).

And did it occur to you it is a “one guy” show probably because he wants it that way? That is prone to authoritarianism, and prone that sourcehut maintainer to make it a very profitable business just like GitLab and now Gitea unless founding a proper non-profit organization? A blog post about not being driven by profit is not enough; make it a proper non-profit registered organization.

In any case OP explicitly asked for a free service (which sourcehut in the future won’t be).

https://codeberg.org which is a non-profit organization. It is free of charge, so it is democratic enabling people to use its services. You can even join the foundation https://join.codeberg.org/

BUT it uses Gitea, which registered two for-profit companies in Hong Kong… Codeberg is soft forking it because the now Gitea shareholders / trademark owners made it clear they want to maximize profits.

If you care about promoting a democratic platform for everyone, do not use sourcehut. They will charge later on; their current free model enables both gathering users (potential clients) and making you a free tester/qa for them. I believe “financial aid” is undemocratic; free should be default. If anything, it should just require commercial, for-profit entities to pay; because then by default there is no processual need for “financial aid”. We should not trust any for-profit, commercial organization anyway for such important services/platforms (version control system hosting is crucial).

From the beta onwards, unpaid accounts will be limited to read-only access to their own projects. Affected users will be emailed at least 60 days in advance of the transition. Users who host their own instance of Sourcehut, on their own servers, will be unaffected by this. Additionally, financial aid will be provided to those who cannot pay; no one is going to be priced out.

Nix and Guix are already reproducible and have immutable store; no need for images in that case, and they more flexible. I’d need to read the article more throughfully for the deployment argument

built from traditional distribution packages, but deployed via images.

Hell no. https://nixos.org and https://guix.gnu.org ftw

I do. But that is limited. Both MS Windows and Android did the most effective strategy to gather most users: pre-installed OS on devices. Too bad Mozilla couldn’t stand against Google/Android in this capitalistic competitive world.

Thanks for the info! From a privacy perspective that’s probably miles better, but still it seems to include proprietary software, right? The postmarketos people are more aligned to my freedom expectations. For the time being, guess I will look into acquiring a salfish phone

That’s nice thanks! It would be ideal to avoid anything Android-based though.

Let’s just not use OSs and browsers by such evil capitalist big techs? I can’t. Linux mobile is not usable 😢

debate the ethics

unlikely that this study will result in any lawsuits

😂

Didn’t they unionize themselves beforehand? Couldn’t they see it coming?

Staff are working long hours to try prove themselves as they face the looming threat of layoffs

Oh yeah, the exploitative absolute surplus

If it is a threat only to the capitalists that is a good thing. But they are just trying to get as much money out of it now because capitalists will eventually replace producers, lyricists … with AI as well. Whatever generates more profits.

Indeed, that is what CPC calls historical nihilism. China is doing very well economically, so they are doing something right. Too bad on socio-economic inequality and illegal profits like tax evasion though; they seem to be doing something about it… https://www.msn.com/en-xl/money/other/china-e2-80-99s-xi-jinping-sends-e2-80-98warning-signal-e2-80-99-to-the-wealthy-as-he-opens-new-front-in-e2-80-98common-prosperity-e2-80-99-push/ar-AA139N4Z

Let’s see if it will not make capitalists get very angry.
