It’s because the USA floods countries with cheap goods all the time and then cries foul when someone else does it. It’s pure hypocrisy.

At some point decades from now maybe? I still think nuclear and fusion research are important for human civilization, I just think it’s stupid to waste money on building power plants using nuclear technology in its current state.

Ammonia believe it or not.

The reason we don’t build nuclear power plants anymore (including small modular), is because they’re insanely expensive, produce only a small amount of power compared to you can produce with renewables, and always come with cost overruns. Nuclear power is the techsploitation of of tbe 60’s and 70’s. Most governments look at the economics now and realize they can do solar plus storage for a fraction of the immediate and long term cost.

Why would that be progress?

I donate through opencollective to lemmy.ml, hope that’s also supporting development if even indirectly to server costs.

NodeBB and other forum software have added activityPub integration on their dev roadmaps, so you might see it become a thing again. Personally I don’t want to create a new forum account for every thing I’m interested in.

I agree. But candidly I feel like there are bots that contribute to the voting.

I’ll give you an example; my country has food insecurity, rich people take arable farmland and build suburbs on that land instead of infilling the city downtown which has single detached homes less than a kilometre from the centre of the city. Do you think that this is a good thing they’re buying this farmland for suburbs, or a bad thing?

It’s just a compound interest calculator https://www.getsmarteraboutmoney.ca/calculators/compound-interest-calculator/

Use this one to calculate the value with inflation (average historically is 3.25% over the last century) https://www.wealthmeta.com/calculator/compound-interest-calculator

You’re moving the goal posts here. Did you buy the land for the purpose of building property? Bad. Did you convert arable land into housing? Bad. Was it a rocky bad piece of land that you invested in to build something more out of it? Good. Housing policy isn’t binary but in most cases the current personal private multiownership model doesn’t help anyone. My perspective is no one should be allowed to own more than one house, and if so anything beyond the first house should be heavily taxed.

Getsmarteraboutmoney.ca - go to their compound interest calculator. If you have 210k and put it into VEQT on questrade and set up a DRIP, in 35 years you’ll have something like $3 million

Adobe Photoshop is the only tool in Adobe’s suite that Linux can’t compete with. Inkscape is on par with Illustrator. Krita for whatever Adobes’s drawing tool is named. There are several proprietary or FOSS alternatives for Premiere Pro. It’s just GIMP that has a poor UI.

Wait what has COD been doing for the last decade? Don’t they have state dept and US military advisors advising on every game for message control?

For sure totally agree. So why do the goldfish fancies keep making memes making fun of another community? Why don’t they just defederate?

Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don’t like this forum then go back to reddit.

They won’t win. They can’t get a corporate sponsored mod to control Lemmy as it’s decentralized. Just keep calling these losers like OP out and eventually they’ll pick up their toys and go back to their corporate controlled hellscapes like reddit and threads.

No that won’t happen. This is a tactic by whatever group that is so butthurt about having left wing views on the internet to try to tone-control Lemmy. If they can get everyone to agree the slur tankie is bad, they can claim anyone that supports a left wing government that imposes a policy that restricts US freedom to exploit that country is a Tankie.
