That’s pretty much this labour summed up!

I welcome Conservative Policy but I believe we need to go further! After all, have enough grannies frozen to death?

EDIT: Since reading about this, I’ve changed my mind. Finding better ways to means test a relatively wealthy generation is not a bad idea.

Completely agree, and through no fault of our own. We’ve not been raised to be informed or taught how to become informed. A lot of people struggling through after the propaganda blitz of education and the mind-numbing effects of modern labour & surveillance capitalism.

How true is this or are we doing the same thing “generation killed industry/way of doing things” that the boomer media is so fond of?

This, like the tariffs on EVs, shows the US would rather people died than lose even a smidge of influence.

But the Gaza government agencies are run by the political arm of Hamas? I don’t understand how that makes it lib?

I actually tried a daily slack bot instead. The team HATED it with a passion. And the amount of productivity lost on other teams to a backend engineer blocking a systems designer being blocked by a UX flow etc is insanely large. We have never missed a deadline, hit all our revenue targets, and get much. much larger features done in 2/3rds of the time of the next nearest team. Part of that is because we’ve made sure to reinforce the concept that we are a single team instead of a group of server engineers, backened engineers, frontend engineers, system designers, [removed to protect identity] designers, econ specialists, UX designers, UI artists, and QA working in their own bubble.

I mean it really depends on the team. My role is as much translator as anything else. I have:

Infrastructure/Server

Backend

Frontend

Designers (three different kinds)

Performance/Econ specialists

QA

Hearing “Oh I didn’t know that, yeah we need to sync” is a common occurrence and on a team of nearly 20 people we never take more than 15mins. We have shared deadlines, shared goals, and work on shared user stories. Having that moment in the morning to go “okay, am I blocking anyone without realising it?” or “I gotta remember to make sure design knows the spreadsheet won’t have the thing they were expecting today, it’ll be Tuesday instead” is well worth the time.

On top of that, with WFH it’s a really good way to cement the team aspect. I wouldn’t care so much if we were in the office, but all being remote means we lose the “human” behind the screen a lot.

As I said, different teams and different projects need different things, but I’d argue the reason my team is the number one performing in the entire company is, in part, due to this morning time to get that alignment.

Depends on the team. My team do daily standup and it helps. A lot. “What are you working on today and do you need any help to get it done” is a super powerful question to make sure we’re all focusing on the same priorities and sharing the knowledge we have, especially in a team of mixed disciplines.

My favourite bit is when Wikipedia itself is like “the 10,000 claim was made by one dude who basically instantly retracted it and claimed the still unplausibly high number of 2,000”.

Also, the Tank Man photographer talks about the protestors throwing molotov cocktails and beating police officers to death.

And the whole “China pretends it didn’t happen”…they have official death estimates. 300 people. The US have their own estimate. 900 people. But no matter the number, it was much fewer than the protest leaders had hoped for.

To quote one of the protest leaders “What we actually are hoping for is bloodshed, the moment when the government is ready to brazenly butcher the people. Only when the Square is awash with blood will the people of China open their eyes” - Chai Ling

By the way, that person is alive and well running a firm that fires people for not praying at work.

It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the “el” removed, this doesn’t. Weirdly, the meme has the “o” sound removed for for “of” as well.

It’s an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with “Britain” and is a great example of “fake American British accent” becoming the “norm” to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound “more British” (such as Tracer in Overwatch).

The meme might as well say “burdle der wurder” and claim it’s how American’s say it - kinda close, but also really far 🤷

THAT’S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.

Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?

“Worst” case I can think of is “Bo’el o’ wa’er” and even that is incredibly limited to like…four boroughs of London.

Or, hear me out, restoring native ecosystem is in itself anti-colonial. This is the weirdest whataboutism I’ve seen in a bit.

Water in soil = water in the pores of the soil

Groundwater = water below the water table

Oh sweet summer child, no.

You don’t have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.

I don’t think this can be answered on here. There’s too much propaganda and psyops, and quite simply, I doubt anyone on here is from Syria!

I do not like authoritarianism, so that’s a no from me dawg, but if Assad’s rule is that big a threat to the Empire of America then maybe? But that’s about as deep an analysis as any non-expert forum (i.e. lemmy) can give you imo.

EDIT: some research - like the ideology of the coup, dislike hereditary regimes. It’s really not an easy one to balance out imo

You literally sent that from a FOSS platform…

I dunno…the company I work for has a Tel Aviv office and there’s an Israeli on my team. We are always talking about this shit, how disgusting it is, how he got a black eye at the last protest for daring to call Muslims people, etc etc.

There is a large amount of fascists in Israel - it is a European colonial state after all - but painting everyone with the same brush is not it, especially people that were born there and are trying to make it better for everyone. Like any large group, they are not homogenous and portraying any group as homogenously evil is dangerous to the extreme.

I’d suggest reading some of the “New Historians” to get a sense of the wide range of people that live in the colony known as Israel. Ilan Pappe is a good place to start imo.

(Edit: spelling)

I don’t think this is a great “guide”.

It’s overly simplistic: a lot happened between the launch of the internet and the dotcom bubble bursting (like the dotcom bubble itself). It doesn’t mention the blog explosion of the late 90s. It doesn’t mention the rise of personal/family websites. It talks about search engines, but the 90s were defined by the browser wars.

It’s wrong: Dropbox was launched in 2007. Tim Berners-Lee didn’t just propose the internet, he created the first web browser, the first web server, and invented HTML.

Disagree. Liberals will always betray the left in favour of capital.
