In this case. NYC is a very public transit dependant city, so making busses free will help. Creating city owned grocery stores in under served food deserts will help. It’s also one of the most wealth un-equal cities in the world, so adjusting taxes can help.
But tech IS political. Can you show me an example of non-political tech?
Human life, human endeavors, human ambitions, are all inherently political. Politics is literally humans disagreeing on something. Technology is politics. Lemmy itself, the Fediverse, the software it’s built on, is inherently a political act of rebellion against corporate controll of discourse. Shitposting was literally invented through political discourse, for political purposes. That’s what it’s always been about.
Wanting to avoid politics is a political choice. It’s Chooseing to be ignorant of the world shaping forces that effect your life and the lives of everyone else.
I’ve got no advice for you.
You do you. But whatever you may do, will be political. There’s no way around that.
Yes. True. Never Nov 1st.
US elections are held every year on the first Tuesday in November. Exactly which offices, national or local is variable.
Occasionally there are runoff or special elections that might happen outside that. But they tend to be pretty random, and local.
In odd numbered years it’s only local positions, like the NYC mayor. In even numbered years, it’s also the federal (national) government races. So those will be next year.
It’s possible, but not that I’m aware of
I’m not sure of that.
He certainly sounds like he does. But what he says is just a little too out there, and too self serving, for someone that clever to easily convince me they actually believe it.
Oh! I didn’t realise. Thank you
Peter Thiel (CEO co-founder of Palantir) realised the religious right are a fanatical base of support if you can get them on your side. So that’s what he’s trying to do.
He’s not even mayor yet.
And his stated initial goals are all about affordability.
He can replace the police chief whenever he gets around to reforming the police. Until then, it’s politically better to maintain stability in one area, while overhauling another. Don’t fight wars on multiple fronts if you don’t have to.
Sure it can. Just like one can mean anything between 27 and 7649.
It does!
Hasn’t been updated in a couple years. But I’ll use it for a while.
I can’t find any that recognize “Album Artist”.
Even ones that claim they’re for serous music collectors and curators.
It strikes me as kind of insane this is such a rare feature in local music players. Am I that much of a werido that there only 3 players I can use at all, none on FDroid? It annoys because some have great looking, nice interface. But my collection looks like a disorganized insane mess with them.
Several years ago? That was barely 2.5 years ago. And nobody really cared. It was just a story for one news cycle. And they didn’t about the moon replacement. They cared about the lie, claiming that it was still their actual picture. As long as the company is honest about lying people are fine with it. They’ll even believe it’s real. Rump taught us that.
Non-Denominational Polythism would be the term, I think.
Of course they do. Just ask any random person if you can look at everything on their phone.
It’s a combination of ignorance, convenience, social pressure. They prioritize those over some amount of privacy violations.
But not having any pictures wouldn’t have changed the article at all.
The images don’t provide anything. They also have no effect on the article itself.
The article would be exactly the same though.
Self hosting is a refutation of corporate owned infrastructure, and the potential privacy loss. Politics.
