Se hace lo que se puede, pero parece que la participación va a menos.

I could start by leaving twitter

Last night there were regional elections in Spain; Sanchez’s assessment of the results was made on X

Neither the institutions nor he/his party have any say in Mastodon.

Something socially productive like asking yourself why you are poor if there are plenty of resources for everyone in society? Not interested

I don’t know either, but if it’s not from Spotify the links don’t work, so if they break the API the program won’t work.

I think this will be a problem for Spotiflac

It won’t work for so many millions when Chinese cars are skyrocketing, competing on price with them is crazy. Combustion engines require advanced engineering, but electric ones are absolutely basic, we must look for another element that differentiates these brands, I would pay more for good open source and auditable privacy software that I know is not going to leave me stranded at the first opportunity.

oh yes, surely that idea helps them compete with Chinese cars, this is what they are going to add value to and justify their price

friend? I do this at work all the time, half my day is dealing with the consequences of not responding on time.

I understand that the Democratic stablishment really works for the economic elite, but what I want to know is what prevents the bases from taking primaries everywhere, bypassing the party, just as has happened in New York, as you yourself say.

I may not know from Europe, but is there fraud in the primaries? Are leftist candidates actively blocked even if they have real verifiable support?

I’m not American, could someone explain to me why people further to the left aren’t capable of doing to Democrats what the Tea Party did to Republicans?

The Bookwyrm app works perfectly for me, what’s wrong with it?

I expected it, but not so soon, to be honest.

We all have a narrative and try to convince others; that’s what dialogue in forums is all about. The difference is whether it’s done in good faith, trying to debate, learn and share, or in bad faith, diverting, deceiving and pushing misleading debates to promote hidden ideas.

It is not always easy to distinguish one from another, and organized groups take advantage of that.

There are two effects you’re not considering.

First, if you make the best product, everyone else will leave the business, so you become a monopoly. But almost everything has what are called barriers to entry. I can’t open a microchip factory; the investment is absurd. That’s why large companies can easily buy out startups, and that’s why we constantly see market concentration. It didn’t happen before because until the 1970s, antitrust laws were serious; now they’re a joke.

There’s another important issue: in a 100% free capitalist system, it’s assumed that initial bargaining power isn’t equal, so those with more can pressure those with less, making wealth concentration more and more concentrated. Adequate government regulation can help level the playing field between employer and employee, but that’s another thing that hasn’t been improving in recent decades.

Is Lemmy important enough to attract bots with malicious political intentions? A victory for us.

On a more serious note, I don’t know of any truly effective way to prevent that beyond sheer, hard work and restraint, and even then it’s never easy to distinguish bad intention of legitimate dissenting opinions.

People from the countries we colonized find it really easy to come here legally. I don’t have exact figures, but I’m sure most are Moroccan or from other African countries.

Edit: I am Spanish, in case the context wasn’t clear.

Adding up the spending of all EU members, we spend more than China; we don’t even need to spend more, we just need to unify spending.

I suppose it would be an interesting recommendation to sync data with some cloud service, and not just with Wi-Fi.

No mastodon, no keepass. Needs improvement
