Can you explain more why you think Ford’s 40hr week is bad?
I thought it represented a pretty marked improvement compared to typical job requirements at the time?
Ford is no hero. A documented anti-semite with lots of other bad takes, but I am not clear on why you would pick his working hours as the thing to highlight.
Yep, and to the person justifying the IT department’s invasion of privacy: they’ve been lying to us for years, there are breaches ALL THE TIME. Workers will give up every right in the face of corporate excuses? 🤷♂️
I am interested and I like this.
However, I don’t really get it. The site linked just seems like a feed of all products.
Is there a way to see caregories based on people marking up their items?
Is there an ActivityPub spec around these?
No, no, you see: the OC got 'em and now we know they’re not a true xxxxxxxxx and therefore their opinion doesn’t matter, in fact, their life may even be forfeit.
Well regulated capitalism has produced more human advancement than any other economic system we have tried.
You’re not alone. There are dozens of us who believe in humanity and progress and realize that some amount of motivation (within reason) helps humans to achieve beneficial things.
Here on the fediverse we may be getting targeted by outside actors who want nothing more than to foment violence in western democracies.
True leftists reject violence in all forms. It is coercion. It is evil. End of story.
The only time violence is justified 8a in self defense or the defense of others. Political change must be achieved through peaceful means if you want the result to have any chance of enduring.
Anyone on here advocating for violence deaerves to be labeled for what they are: part of the problem with the world today.
If you are a reporter, I do not see how you could use or trust that platform at this point.
Any sense on if the Twitter engagement is real people?
I worry with a profit motivated place like that that they’re incentivized to trick me, to make me feel like it’s a more vibrant place than it is in reality.

🤷♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.
You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.
Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:
Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.
Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?
I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
Maybe true, I don’t pay much attention. All I know is most studies and censuses I have seen show religious affiliation falling fairly rapidly.
🤷♂️
What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?
Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?
For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.
I think it’s reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.
Nah, I like my community without the side of eternal suffering that so many religions like to threaten you with for varioua reasons.
I’d put my money on huge adoption of D&D in the utopian future before I put it on religion.
Thanks for this, one of the more interesting suggestions I have seen.
Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

Too cynical a take to be real.
The above happens sometimes, and is maybe more common among older entrenched politicians (that we have in spades right now with the aging out of one of the largest generations ever). But most of the time it’s real people with real beliefs who want to change things. Governments are usually set up to change slowly, if at all, so often little seems to happen, but those gears do grind slowly based on how they’re pushed.
So, your take is definitely a way to make it so the political class can continue to exploit people - you need more people upset and willing to change if you want to make a difference, not lots of powerless apathy.
