People having kids: I'll let them deal with it, won't be my problem anymore.

Sure, that's the thing to concentrate on right now - giving high earners more money.

If he left and sold all his property, then that would've been great, but there's nothing here that says he's sold shit. He's only moved his legal residency to Monaco.

We still need a #WealthTax

yeah, having tags for each community would be great.

"nobody", nearly 50k people.

Asking people on mastodon if they use lemmy also doesn't make much sense to me. I don't use mastodon because it's not threaded, people on mastodon probably don't use lemmy for a similar reason. I'm not sure how many people use both threaded and unthreaded platforms, but it feels to me like the two layouts attract different people.

I'm not a developer, so I don't know the actual effort involves, but it seems to me like making a new one is like reinventing the wheel. Matrix probably has solved many problems that this new things still has to run into.

What's an SDK? I looked it up but can't really understand the techno lingo on wikipedia. It's a "kit" (whatever that means) that allows developing a platform specific app? Matrix isn't another OS like Linux, so I'm confused.

While great that there's an alternative, they are just hurrying to get something on the market because the Digital Euro will be like digital coins and bills: free to use (no cost to user and seller), supported by all banks, usable without a phone i.e no dependency on Goolag nor CrApple.

They are hoping to get people roped into their alternative before the Digital Euro can arrive. Which they have a fair chance at because it will take (in digital time) ages until it's here

The ECB stated that, assuming EU legislation is adopted in 2026, the Eurosystem aims to be ready for a potential first issuance of a digital euro by 2029, with testing beginning from mid-2027

It's about time we kick Goolag out of the EU.

Is matrix too difficult to develop or contribute to? Why do new chat apps keep popping up that do the same?

Rule 1 of talking on the internet: assume your interlocutor is an idiot.

 

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, share anyway.

 

US-specific but some ideas could be used abroad.

How exactly should we tax the rich?

We lay out 3 specific ways to target and reduce the wealth gap in society, including taxing billionaires’ SuperPAC contributions.

No idea what it means.

 

If you're an EU citizen, sign the initiative so that it can be brought before the EU commission. The ECI is legally binding.

Objectives

We, the citizens of Europe, demand access to housing that is affordable, sustainable and fair.

We see and feel it every day: workers who can no longer afford the city they build, young people who cannot leave their parents' home, tenants pushed out of their neighbourhoods after renovation, empty buildings while people sleep on the street.

The current housing market is putting profit over people and the planet. Europe's buildings are expensive, empty and broken. But it does not have to be this way: the buildings exist, and so do the approaches to make them affordable. What is missing are the rules:

USE

Regulate short-term rentals and vacancy.
Convert empty buildings, like vacant homes and offices, into housing.
Create incentives and fast permits to make renovation the first choice.

INVEST

Ensure public money serves people not speculation.
Reform fiscal rules so governments can invest more in housing.
Create an EU housing fund.

PROTECT

Set enforceable standards to keep housing affordable and sustainable.
Keep people in their homes during EU-funded renovation.
Establish an EU Housing Agency to govern transparently.

We call on the EU to act and people to sign!

 

Not my video. Randomly stumbled upon it while browsing peertube.

 

A plastic pollution tide has swept across the globe & is choking the ocean. It’s time to identify the main polluters & hold them to account.

TL;DR

  1. Coca Cola
  2. McDonalds
  3. Cadbury
  4. Red Bull
  5. Walkers
 

Example: Old people often complain about young people not having "basic knowledge" and say that younger generations know and understand less of the world than they do.

 

Fern complaining about slop on a slop platform

 

For example people with jobs that require carrying a lot of equipment: plumbers, electricians, roofers, etc. . We don't want everybody to suddenly "be a roofer"

Up and down the country billionaires have been cruelly targeted by the Green Party for simply being incredibly rich. This heartless abuse needs to stop and be called out for what it truly is - prejudice. Not ALL billionaires have 15 homes, some have 14! Here's how you can help ours and @mrcodydahler's campaign, Billionaires In Need #ukpolitics #zackpolanski #rich #billionaires #satire

 

Are stories about dragons just allegories about the uber-wealthy and the dangers of hoarding wealth?
