At Uni doing CompSci in the mid 1980s, we were told the likes of Cobol was dead, and we were taught Pascal :)

“I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative” – John Stuart Mill

I don’t know what the problem is. Is it a lack of empathy? Is it willingness to swallow the bait surrounding conspiracy theories? I

I think it’s education, so many of us are now "educated ", this makes us confident idiots, a superb pinnacle of that example might be Linus Pauling and vitamin C for example.

If my hypothesis is correct, more education wont help.

Empathy is always lacking, just have to look at the refugee debate, its not new. Jews were turned away when Hitler sent them overseas, telling other countries to take then or he’d start killing them,

Japense interment camps in the US in WW2, slavery, endless wars prosecuted on other countries and participants lionised, it’s part of our makeup that’s difficult for most people to overcome,. I’d posit they don’t want to overcome it. . Then there’s the whole treatment of native peoples all over the world. US, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Russia and on and on.

The one thing that unites Demorcats and Republicans ? disdain for the homeless, again a lack of empathy.

Vote early, vote often, this is the way.

Sarcasm aside, i complelty agree.

If somebody you knew like a family member, partner or friend told you they had NPD would you still talk to them?

I’d tell then they should run for President of the US, they have qualities and traits a majorty of people admire…

Nope, just find it better then a corporate shithole.

They literally siad they don’t care in an interview I read a few weeks ago.

The original for those unaware. I dont often see referrences to Australian pop culture in memes, so well done :)

It was a case of mistaken identity, they thought I was some international gangster," Mr Karlson said at the time.

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of motives, will somehow work together for the benefit of all."—John Maynard Keynes

Arizona law is clear: no company has the right to endanger an entire community’s health and safety for its own gain,” Mayes said in a statement.

That’s a ridiclious assertion, the entire system is based upon doing exactly that; from private healthare to cars to alchol to guns to processed foods to…

Did the CEO do anything unlawful?

Everything they did was legal and yet the US decded that legal was a bullshit excuse in the face of mass murder…here we are, history rhyming.

but he’s operating in a legal framework.

That defence is flimsy AF .

The US did a whole thing in Germany saying following the law was a bullshit excuse , they’ve literally set the precedent for assholes following the law being killed when they’re guilty of mass murder.

It is for the child

Italy has a crap load of Cuban docotrs I believe.

I have realised with my laptoo i neber is it on the go, so the Pi 500 with screen might be interesting.

I have zero Pi exposure but i use Linux Mint Debian Edition on my desktop, so the Pi Debian OS would be familar I assume?

I had thought of getting a Framework next time but I don’t do much beyond browser work when i do use the laptop anyway so maybe this might be interesting?

Perhaps WISE? You can use the web page unlike Revolut.

Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.

Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)

I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.

Absolutely, as a Linux uswr if only 18 months it was a complete balls up me trying to install Signal from tje shitty instructions. Their website, a seasoned Linux user in the forum said how he could see how I was confused becase the command lines on the Singnal website to do the install all ran together, since then it’s been fine but just Flatpak FFS.
