Ang. diskussionstråden nedan, det känns meningslöst att bråka om den exakta gränsen för abort när ett bättre sätt att sänka abortstatistiken är att göra det mer gynnsamt för kvinnan att adoptera bort barnet än att göra abort. Folk i Norden har stor efterfrågan på adoption men pga brist på oönskade barn här adopterar de i stort sett endast från utlandet. Utländska adoptioner är dyra och kräver oftast 20k-30k USD per barn som adoptivföräldrarna gladligen betalar. Varför inte införa ett system där en kvinna som överväger abort erbjuds den där summan samt några månaders arbetsledighet efter födseln?

Det er vel nogen på feddit.dk, der er blevet fuldstændigt bandlyst fra ansigtsbogen? Personen skrev i fredagstråden at den skabte et nyt konto og blev umiddelbart bandlyst, nok fordi ansigtsbog blokerer IP-adressen eller enhedens IMEI/MAC-adress.

Ser ikke hvordan en psykolog kan hjælpe mig med at tjene mere penge, have mere fritid, og få bedre politik i landet. Det er ikke som om jeg var født med et dårligt psyke.

Det virker ikke så dumt hvis det leder til at industrin bliver mere villige til at ansætte folk uden en bachelors. Det er ret mange jobs idag der kræver en 4 års uddannelse på papiret, men intet man lærer sig på universitet bliver brugt på jobbet. Det er bare en filter så HR ikke får så mange CVs at læse igennem. Det er spild af tid og penge for studerende.

And what happens when those foreign workers in Solution #3 age, retire and need pension payouts…? Just keep hiring more and more foreign workers? Besides, “benefits everybody” is only from an national economic perspective. From the cultural, social and personal economic perspective, having a huge influx of foreigners in your country is terrible.

I don’t think foreign labor is completely off the mark but there has to be guards against them costing more money than they contribute to the system, which means strict culture, skill and income requirements for permanent migration.

Is this like when they made the kilogram some function of the speed of light instead of the weight of a metal ball in a French museum?

No, it’s 100% economics. Why do you think that having “careers, lives and travel” (as if having a family is not having a life?) is more appealing to modern first worlders? Because it doesn’t impact their finances severely. Having more children in impoverished countries is a financial gain because children are free labor and lottery tickets to get the entire family out of poverty. In wealthy countries, children are only a financial loss.

Använder inte ChatGPT själv men i min erfarenhet är grammatik inte ChatGPTs svaga punkt (bristande pålitlighet av själva innehållet är största problemet). Kan du posta ChatGPTs svar om du ber den att rätta precis detta inlägg? Det kanske inte finns behov för alternativa tjänster om ChatGPT klarar jobbet.

The first distro I used was Ubuntu as part of a computer class at school, but it was preinstalled on a school computer. The first distro I installed on a personal computer was Arch because le reddit said it was le epic hackerman’s IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE TO INSTALL distro. It installed, and after that I didn’t use it because my favorite Windows apps couldn’t work.

I discovered Lemmy around 2019 or 2020 and loved the concept but was put off by the density of commies, so I didn’t create an account and participate but I would check the site around once a year to see if the community had taken off yet.

2020: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2021: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2022: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet? Nope, still commies and dead threads.
2023: Is it the year of the Federated Reddit yet?

YES!

And I am so glad to never have to see the depressing and miserable “culture” that was Lemmy from 2019 to mid-2023 again.

Federated networks are, by design, not able to be constrained by one set of rules and standards. The place you are looking for is Tildes, a centralized, invite-only, text-only website whose selling point is “high quality discussions” and very harsh moderation against anything that does not fit their standard of “high quality”.

That’s relieving to hear. I know the backstory of Kbin is that Ernest was originally a Lemmy contributor but he and Lemmy’s devs got into a disagreement about politics, so he went to start his own project instead. There was no communication about the block from Lemmy’s devs for a while so a lot of people, including me, theorized that it was related to the conflict.

Exactly, if an instance loves to censor others so much they should deal with the consequences of less interaction and visibility. lemmy.ml is also dropping off my feed because their devs have beef with Kbin’s dev and they blocked interactions from all Kbin instances.

Why don’t you start an account there and help them out, or start an account on an instance that is federated with both if you prefer the community there? I personally disagree with their moderation and don’t like the kind of users they approve of, so I’m happy seeing less of them around.

I was a kid when all of the big social media websites except TikTok took off so I never got to have it anywhere else. I wanted the sense of pride and accomplishment of being the first person on my instance to get my name as their username.

This design is so cute, it reminds me of the art style of HyperBeard Games. I hope something inspired by this gets chosen and not another boring “iOS flat design” icon.

If you’re comparing stock Android against stock iOS, Apple has more privacy protections against tracking because of App Tracking Transparency.

I have two phones as daily drivers, one Android and one iPhone. Compared to Android, the iPhone is very restrictive and locked down. Adblockers don’t work and you’re forced to use whatever iOS interface it throws at you. Buttons and gestures move around with every update. There’s no way to view and manage internal files, no sideloading, lots of options that are just not accessible to normal users.

The positive side is that iPhones are very optimized and I can get similar performance to my Android phone despite the iPhone being older and having worse specs. The closed ecosystem also has its benefits, because it makes data very hard to get out, so I use the iPhone as a device to sandbox all the Meta crap that I’m forced to use.

Are they going to keep the lawsuit focused on OpenAI and Meta or turn it into yet another lawsuit against piracy?

Im not sure its so much learned helplessness as, and I know this will be an unpopular opinion here, I don’t want to understand how it all works behind the scenes.

“Learned helplessness” isn’t meant as an insult, it’s just a way to describe… well, this. The idea that the internet is too complicated and you’ll never understand it so don’t bother trying. This is not the fault of the “normie masses” but rather society not treating digital competence as a necessary skill. Society has many more complicated systems like law, finance, insurance and property that people can still navigate!
