Happy cake day!
The problem with this, in my opinion, is Lemmy is written in Rust. From what I can tell, there aren't enough Rust developers to pitch in AND there are better languages to use in a web application.
Luckily I have well water...probably some of the cleanest water on Earth...I've tested it several times with kits.
The rules would reclassify broadband access as an essential service on par with other utilities like water or power.
Well, it is a fucking public utility and has been for a long time!
If you can access counselling for this, that might be a good option. Vicarious trauma is a real phenomenon.
Thank you for the advice. I'm not sure that I'll need counseling but I'm open to it if need be. Time will tell.
Many people do unfortunately.
I appreciate the support. We are doing our due diligence to find a better path for Beehaw. It may not be perfect, in the eyes of every participant, but it will be better.
One idea that I believe could use some discussion is Beehaw merchandise.
Nothing will be done about it (not in the immediate future) because this shit has been going on for, at least, one hundred years. J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about this as "diseased dragons laying on mountains of gold" and it is perfectly captured by Wealth Shown to Scale. The first time that I tried to make it through that website (five years ago), I became so fucking sick to my stomach, I couldn't get through the first 1/3.
TL;DR there are, currently, around 400 disgusting diseased dragons (<- these are real humans) that control almost everything that happens on Earth. They don't give a flying fuck about anything except getting more money and power.
This is absolute insanity. Hopefully, the entire Russian LGBTQ+ community will move from that awful place.
