The population is actually tipped to massively reduce on the next 100 years due to a large portion of people not have babies simply due to crappy economic conditions, inflation, war the lying flat movement in china and the ever increasing destruction of the middle class into the homeless poor. Aside from rich people destroying peoples ability to have happy lives, there's also the plastic problem that's quite literally made every male living thing have a reduced sperm count and it continues to drop as plastic is in the air, our clothes carpet and oceans. Endocrine disruptors in our bodies are being effected by chemicals found in vinyl products, thermal receipts and Tupperware releasing chemicals when heated in microwaves. These things are so small they enter the bloodstream and pass through the blood brain barrier.. Fuuuck

So if you want to save the future start by sniping off rich oligarchs and ban plastic completely

And yet the lettuce was more useful and did outlast her.

I would love this in Australia, all the private school soccer mums would revolt!

Anytime a government mentions privatising something, it sells a public asset for pennys in the dollar, which cuts quality of service to make a profit and as a result drives up its cost as the government that sold it pockets a commission to use as a war chest against its opposition.

It basically privatises the profit and socialises the debt. So instead of government debt (which is easier to pay off as governments don't die like humans do and they get better rates of interest) it becomes public debt ie people become impoverished.

Recently economists in Australia have come to the realisation that inflation by in large isn't caused by regular citizens as much as it by large private profits from ceos and executive pay packets and tax avoidance of the companies in general.

Taxing the large corporate empires that sneak into Argentina and pay little to no tax would not only address the cause of Argentinas inflation it would reduce the debt and pay for vital services like medical, roads, education etc..

An example that comes to mind is all the foreign mining companies that literally steal the wealth out the ground of your country and pay nothing to the people that live there.

Like what currently happens in most countries with conservatard governments in power

But don't tell the Yanks they'll replace your government before you can whistle Yankee doodle Gough Whitlam! Cough cough

I've been using Manjaro for years and find it to be a solid distro to do your daily stuff. Running it with KDE on Wayland and its super smooth. Pretty much keep it up to date often and use pamac to update instead of pacman and things tend to go well.

Chris Titus has some good write ups on it, https://christitus.com/nixos-explained/ and I know Chris Fischer on Jupiter broadcasting swears by it as well

Perhaps look at distros that support gaming put of the box like Nobara or Pop-OS, my personal goto is Manjaro running KDE with Wayland display manager as it feels quite fast and snappy. But being an arch based distro mean you'd have to do a bit of tinkering (Which isn't really that hard tbh) then you can tell people "BTW I use Arch" heh heh

Was gonna leave a comment here, but everything I could have said has been. Its heart warming to see so many people using their brains and backbone to speak out against this kind of bullshit. Although it probably won't stop it being passed.

Unless you could pass a law to stop old people from voting as they have less skin in the game then a child does.

Time to kick the US to the curb. Fuck em and their Christian BS. Do what must be done rest of the world. Permanent trade sanctions for Israel!

Its not genocide when our friends do it

Go to terminal and type in top .. Maybe something like fs-miner is chewing CPU cycles? File indexing can sometimes do this.

Its such bullshit that all the US jeebus freaks think its somehow gods will and "Christ like" to deny people that are starving most of which are kids btw. Denying aid which would be easy to pass honestly before a cease fire is fucking cruel. So much for "good guy" america

I think it would still work for Brisbane, the hydrofoil boats rise out of the water so they don't experience the jostling you get in a conventional boat. You can have several ferries running back and forth morning noon and night that carry hundreds of patrons per ferry. You don't need to build massive expensive tracks and they don't stop at every two bit town and suburb. These are only linking major population hubs. The hydrofoil here has a top speed of about 50km/h which is average, but it would be travelling in a straight line up and down the coast and the Brissy trains only ever get up to about 80km/h and you have to travel inland to hop on one in the Sunny coast.

Here's a video of the tech which could be scaled up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2RUVfEWQcE

Not that this is to do with image generation I've always thought translating legal jargon down to a single paragraph in English would be a good purpose for AI. Imagine bullet points of all the major things you're handing over when clicking "I agree" on a apple terms and agreement?

Time to kick the US to the curb. Fuck em and their Christian BS. Do what must be done rest of the world. Permanent trade sanctions for Israel!

Fighting over scraps really in a country where depopulation is reducing Italy to just a powerless retirement village full of old people

Unless one of those Linux OS's can run Android apps through emulation with the same speed and reliability as an android device its probably not practical yet.

Have you tried the French edition /e/ OS? I'm on it ATM and it has a few good integrations like an app store that gives apps an privacy respecting rating and better calendar, contacts and tasks connectability with nextcloud

I've heard a lot of people have a good experience with GrapheneOS as well on the Google Pixel phones as well. Might be my next phone and OS to try

Give people a weeks notice that you're going to turn the whole of Israel, Gaza and everything else in this little religious hot hole into a glass bowl nuclear style. Repatriate the people all over the earth equally. They've fought over these silly little "holy" spots for too long. Its time to take their toys off them and make them sit in a corner.
