I think super-apps are the way to go, only way to prevent one company from monopolizing click-stream data for advertising.

some apps already do this and their users don’t suffer from the same issue (granted, they have different issues)

Yeah I guess if I could add free time and money and make it so everyone is happy I would add it.

I guess, so the law at present seems mostly made up. Like, it can’t deal with glaring issues without a precedent and what amounts to a long-winded ritual before significant issues are considered.

I guess I don’t see why a corp can’t be accountable like how some people who commit petty crimes are ‘held accountable’ (i.e. shot, killed, worked in labour camps).

i think one small addition

1. decrease influence of bribing lobbying

i’m trying to go to my desk to get started, it’s just, there’s all these unfinished and poor abandoned projects scattered everywhere…

i’ll keep trying though!

huh, thanks for sharing! i learned something!

i think demon every time i read demonym and i’ll never not see it

yeah, that’s true, i guess what makes it a bit off is i’m accustomed to hearing awful things about the US.

yeah fair point, do you think it would make sense to say that some have knowledge of it besides academics & people in think tanks? like politicians i guess

Hm, I think the kinds or categories of differences might be significant. Enough for legislators and policy makers, and I think enough for residents of different countries to get some perspective. If there’s no context or the context is not well understood, how would one know if things can get better or worse in a meaningful way?

Ah ty, I’m learning spanish, is it supposed to be like the word “estadonidense”? i’m learning spanish from south america if that means anything in like word usage

That’s fair. Don’t you think the main point still stands? The US is abysmal for healthcare and is comparable to a much poorer nation which it embargoes?

Hey what is EEUU? I’m getting blanks on my search.

EDIT: It means amerika

Yo, thanks so much for the resources! I found what looks to be the relevant group for calendar extensions, one of the most recent proposals/things is representing contact data with JSON.

This is definitely something I’ll be looking into and hopefully contributing to one day!!

EDIT: whoops, here’s a relevant link

I don’t think they are federated? Neither is the other big community whatever it’s called.

t-shirt for me

prices are lower, piracy is nearly free for most, no?

I appreciated the info. I agree too! The circle v thing in your profile name is cool.

Ah yes very fair. I did not do a close reading and missed that, I did not notice or see how careful you were with your language, your explanation is much appreciated!

Would you say like in the case of your comment, where the ratio skews heavily towards negative, something like having the thread collapsed by default or like hiding the score would be a better way to facilitate productive discussion? I think it works as a temporary middle ground (say the first 24H a post is up and folk’s aren’t completely decided, it gives controversial ideas a fightin’ chance)

So I actually want to engage with you. If some stuff ends up being like “collapsed” or “hidden by default” because some just had a one-off bad experience with users from a particular community, do you think you’d agree that it is an OK compromise or is that relenting too much for freedom of expression?
