Since the project is already okay with Github, perhaps a set of polls in Github with this feature, linked far and wide in Lemmy.
0.5% in January alone
That’s a great point and a really low hanging fruit that would likely help with adoption and retention. The defaults weren’t great for me either.
If people went as far as registering in a Lemmy instance, they clearly have some affinity towards the Fediverse. Getting through Fediverse to work nicely for them is what bridges the gap. It’s the same with anything people do. Better defaults is a trivial low hanging fruit that can help perhaps significantly.
There’s faster ways to get data. We can do a few surveys on existing users. We’ll get hundreds of responses easily. Perhaps multiple surveys, one for each setting.
Thank your for your service. 🙏 Building a community takes work. Let’s hope this one is more resilient to corpo-lobotomize than Reddit, Digg and Slashdot.
For some reason I thought it’s based in the UK, but apparently not.
Time for China to step in I guess.
Interesting. They already make their motherboards in Vietnam.
In the short run, yes. However in the long run, their profits have to shrink. They’ll try recovering that from labor. If labor responds with organizing, the oligarchs would see their profits shrink further. Further, the West won’t close up wholesale. Some parts would, others wouldn’t. If people in the insular parts see people having it better across the border, they might vote to have that too. Assuming such a change could happen somewhat democratically. I don’t think the West would be able to insulate long term. But that’s a bet based on a lot of assumptions that could turn out wrong.
While that isn’t going away, chief executives of large pharmaceutical companies are broadening their horizons. Why spend $10 billion acquiring a U.S. biotech with a mid-stage drug when a similar molecule can be licensed from China for a fraction of the price?
So these fuckers are going to run the research sector through the same outsourcing treatment they ran manufacturing won’t they.
I’m wondering what would happen if PRC doesn’t profit maximize their product in the long run. As standard of living increases the cost of labor in China would get close to the cost of labor in the West. If the difference in cost of labor isn’t a significant factor and Chinese product (manufacturing and IP like drugs) is sold close to the cost of labor and materials, wouldn’t that force the Western firms to operate as non-profits? If they can’t make significant profit on anything, won’t that significantly disrupt the current capitalist model?
JFC… This such a trainwreck…
Because beyond the racism, their issues are our issues. They’re class issues.
Copyright lobby begs to differ. 😂
Some Arab American supporters are distancing themselves, while others see it as a negotiating tactic.
Sunk costed themselves.
The good old days.
The new regime could use some knowledgeable enemies though, no? 🥹
This is one of those where you can’t tell if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. 🤔
Guess what, it’s the politicians job to get the horse’s head into the water. If they fail to do that they were either incompetent or didn’t work hard enough. You should go find Chuck Schumer’s words from the mid 2010s where he says he doesn’t mind losing blue collar votes.
