Divide and conquer. Non state-actors and special interest have a far easier time attacking a hundred small entities than one big one. Because people have much less bandwidth to track all this shit than it is to spread it around. See ALEC and the strategy behind state rights.
In the end this is about economic power. The only way to curb it is through a democratic government. Lemmy servers too can be bought and sold and the communities captured that grew on them.
Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.
Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.
No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.
Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.
Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.
Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.
Sorry don’t know, I only see it in the settings of the default webUI
Reading the headline I thought this would be about something space related, like unfolding solar sails.
You can actually select what languages you want to see in settings. Which is a step up from reddit. Only weird thing is you ALSO have to select “undetermined” language besides English and whatever else.
Something like Munchausen by proxy?
You can’t install any new regime without at least the military ignoring a revolution. And then the current elite stays in power.

Shapley publicly alleged that the Department of Justice had “slow-walked” the investigation into the younger Biden in an interview with CBS News in May 2023.
But if Musk installed him then he’s probably a corrupt piece of shit
Well this might be good. In order to achieve regime change and new elections with the protests, you’ll need the military on your side. You can never overthrow the government otherwise. So conservative people like this can help.
Look, he’s killing people. He should be arrested and go to trial for criminal negligence and manslaughter. Like the rest of the bunch.
But they can’t even say it lol. “oh, some people touted!”
It’s not puppet masters pulling strings on a marionette. It’s gardeners watching the fruits of their labor grow.
Interesting analogy. To spin this further, who allowed malicious gardeners to grow poisonous mushrooms here in our community garden? We largely abdicated the power of the state and government to the economic bureaucracy and ignored profit driven news and social media.
You bring up some interesting points about the billionaires and their desire about a new world order (dark enlightenment, longtermism etc) in the US, those who hold the most power. But how in the world do you square that with this:
Anyone who claims that Russia is NOT behind all of this is either Russian, a traitor, or stupid.
So are the billionaires also controlled by Putin? How can both be true? Or do you think Putin holds more influence over US elections that the US billionaires and tech bros do?
PS: Let me make my point clearer: I don’t doubt that Putin helped Trump and sow discord in the US - but who is to blame for allowing this? These are cheap things to do for any foreign actor now because we allowed to run news and social media purely for profit. If greed is good, nothing but money matters, why wouldn’t those companies make advertising deals bad actors? So blaming Putin for this is propaganda itself, because it disguises the actual causes of the democratic backsliding which started way before Trump, and would have happened despite Trump.
But the 63 per cent of the German people who expressed their opposition to Hitler were much too divided and shortsighted to
lucky if Europe and the rest of “the West” survive China/Russia expansion
So who is the enemy we should focus on? Is it Trump? Is it Putler/China? Neoliberal and austerity policies of both parties that created the fertile ground for neofascism?
The OP article is about Trump and US economic policy, and I replied to a comment that segways away from “stopping the nazis” and instead focuses on the evil “Putler”.
Yeah the parallels to weimar are there, but it’s that you can’t see them - you are the ones who distract with this conspiracy theory that Trump is somehow Putin’s asset or his creation. It’s like saying that Hitler is Stalin’s puppet because they want to divide up Poland (Ukraine) - just because they help each other out it’s not reasonable to start persecuting the socialists - which they did and do now! (Tankies bad, defederate).
The issue isn’t Trump. Trump should be in a mental institution. The issue is that we build a world that “allows” for such people to gain power. The issue is that our news and social media allow a (very real) Russian psyop. But it’s not just the Russians. It also came from special interests like fossil fuel, China, and formerly Ukraine too.
You’re loudly yelling at the dog tearing up the flower beds, instead you should be yelling at those who let the dogs out.
But instead of talking about that, we’re talking about the latest bullshit that is being pumped into the ether. Stop the shit-factory. Nationalize the news and social media and turn them into cooperatives run by the workers. Arrest the billionaires. Take the power back. Of course now it’s too late for that, thanks Obama.
But this isn’t even thinkable for the majority. Hence you seek some bad guy you can blame.
There is no mastermind or master plan. If you think Trump is a Russian asset then you’ve fallen for conspiracy theory and you yourself live in a “post-truth” fantasy. Whatever Trump is, he’s not someone who can be handled (except by playing on his megalomania). If you don’t understand that yet, and pretend otherwise, you’re just adding to the noise.
Similarily, that Foundations of Geopolitics is an interesting “cookbook” but it’s just that. Russia exploits glaring weaknesses in our neoliberal society by simply buying their way into social media. Any rational country would prevent news or social media to be owned by oligarchs, spew lies for profit and and generally being open to the highest bidder. The US has failed to get money out of politics and media. And that is a result of the neoliberal world order, so - thanks Obama and all those who came before him.
The liberal mindset has been poisoned since 2016 to think there is some big enemy like Russia or China, that there is only black and white, good or evil.
It seems you can run the full R1 on a 96GB ram gaming rig even without GPU. I have little practical experience because of my old PC but it seems both improvements to efficiency to run locally (at least for a group of people) and research about bias or poisoning is being done.
That’s not true! No matter what kind of billionaire he was in life, now he is a good billionaire. You might also say that all dead billionaires are good billionaires.
