Poverty is such a weird concept when applied like this.

Much of chinas population were deemed as living in poverty, despite just… Living oldschool farming village lives like they always did. Might not have had much money, but they just lived like farmers and villagers.

Then a bunch of people invented a bunch of stuff, looked at these people who didn’t have those things, and said “man, are you poor! We better create some jobs for you…” and are now patting themselves on the back for taking these people out of their villages, and giving them the possibility to live for ABOVE 1.90$ a day.

Oh wow.

You’re right, i was confused then 😂

Okay yes thank you, but we both know what was meant.

Never touched linux

I don’t really get this distro thing.

So it is basically just like choosing which app to access reddit with, except that if i choose the wrong app i might be auto-banned from a lot of the subs?

Also, i won’t see stuff i am searching for sometimes, because the distros sometimes make trouble if someone else hasn’t already subscribed? Or is that only on mastodon?

I am using Voyager, and chose lemm.ee for no apparent reason. But so far, it just feels like a shittier version of reddit but with better mods? I dunno.

Edit: turns out i was indeed confused.

Not quite as far as Skyblivion, but far enough that i dont think they will drop it.

Aren’t you fucking glad that you didn’t vote now? Oh, but the genocide, who could have known it would be worse under Trump??

Fucking wankers.

So okay here is what you do.

You get up, go to work, spend all day there, go home, stay awake too long, sleep too little, do it 5 days then try to catch up on lost sleep in the weekend.

This way you will get as little out of all your free time as possible, and eventually get depressed and/or have a mental break.

Good luck!

So? Its unmanned drones in a war. Why should we care?

There is so much research showing the moral issues of drone strikes, and how creating digital distance from the operator to the targets will easily lead to a higher count of civilian casualties.

I am all for Ukraine using drones to defend themselves against aggressors. But using drones in anything but defensive capabilities, where the civilians aren’t your people, should be highly illegal.

How is this even news? “The guys we are actively bombing managed to hit a single unmanned drone” is not the big story it is made out to be.
