The European Commission is claims to protect vulnerable asylum seekers, but beneath this veneer lies a far more insidious reality. In truth, this approach fuels harm and discrimination towards people on the move while empowering the EU’s policing agency with unprecedented surveillance capabilities and insufficient oversight.
And regular people cheering this on, the very thing that will hurt, maim and kill them and their loved ones, is that because everyone thinks they and theirs are the strong ones? Is it the same kind of mentality that makes people think they are billionaires in the making? Maybe even the same kind of thinking that makes most people believe they are above average drivers?
If so: Why do we think like this? Can we do anything to change it? Both the "I'm better" part and the "fuck everyone else" part
What's the deal with authoritarians and their strong need to both have more children of their skin color but also kill as many of their own citizens as possible, trough taking away vaccines, health care, safety regulations, environmental regulations, create more air pollution, more disasters without disaster preparedness, etc?
Is this some sort of eugenics shit? Create as horrible a world as possible, so that only the "strongest" survive?
If you want to make a good investment for the world – with pretty good interest on your money too – you can get €25 for free to start your investment on #Trine trough this link: https://trine.com/invite/346713
I actually do not get anything monetarily by you using that link, I've already hit the roof for how much I can get trough referrals. But I do get the hope for a better world that I get from seeing more people invest in solar panels, and see the graph of how much CO2 emissions we've prevented grow
I've posted a few times about investing in loans to install solar panels trough #Trine. Feels like a great investment, both for me and the world
Some months ago they sent out a form asking investors for feedback and ideas. I'm always happy to give that, so I'm sure I wrote more than most. Now they've set up a special forum for the people who gave the most input, and I was invited. They ask our opinion on things and we can give any feedback
I love companies who does the work to actually listen!
@eni124@DORpapst Ja, stemmer. Pass også på påvirkningen fra andre civers byer, hvis du spiller en versjon av Civ som opererer med slikt. Trist å miste byen sin etter noen få runder fordi innbyggerne liker nabolandet bedre.
@hanselot Ikke alle kommer til å selge eller unngå å kjøpe. Budskapet går til de som er villige til å gjøre noe, og hvis de klarer å oversvømme bruktbilmarkedet med relativt nye Teslaer, så vil også nybilsalget synke og potensielt nybilprisene synke, og man sender et viktig sosialt signal om at det ikke er greit å ha Tesla.
@DORpapst@eni124 Det er vel flere grunner til at man ikke kan lage by enkelte steder, slik som for nærme andre civers byer og ikke tilgang på ferskvann?
@nekohayo Thank you, appreciate the information! But if the background apps feature demands that every single application implements some specific stuff, while the extensions that gives you the "good, old" systray don't demand that and just works, then I'm afraid we'll never be able to stop using those extensions. #Gnome
altså man må jo lete etter lyspunkter. som at det å være høyreradikalt/populistisk parti i Europa nå fremover kan bli litt som å være kommunist under den kalde krigen. vanskelig å slippe unna mistanken om at du er i fiendtlige makters tjeneste.
The new #Gnome background apps feature is nice, except that I still can't turn off the AppIndicator extension, because if I do #qBittorrent suddenly has some sort of non-existent window that shows up in Activities and the window switcher, so the feature is actually totally useless for me…? Is this a bug just with qBt or is the feature just not finished yet…?
@laprice That's the platform they've heard about, and they don't think to research alternatives. Mindshare + a culture of not thinking about things like ownership or even the fact that alternatives to the popular thing might even exist. Is my guess.
