The UN is largely ineffective due to the security council. The fact that one country can effectively shut down a vote is the opposite of the Federation of Planets.
Now that I think of it, of course the UN is ineffectual. It's set up like the US system of legislature. A powerful smaller body that is largely disproportionate to the rest of the world fully controls everything the UN does.
Not only this, but Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The three on the track amplified Trump's voice. Letting the train go on the bottom track is the long term solution.
AGPL sort of requires this and I've started to use it in projects that run on networks. The problem I've seen is that so many cloud providers use software with permissive licenses like MIT.
Honestly, more projects need to switch to licenses that require contributions back to the source if you publicly built upon it.
My company, for example, has a FOSS scanner and rejects any library that has copyleft provisions. I imagine most companies do. The corporate world would become absolutely fucked if every package decided to use GPL.
My only complaint with KeePass is that if any corruption occurs, your passwords are borked. I use KeePass for non-critical accounts, like Lemmy, etc. I don't trust myself or the sync enough for storing my bank or other identity passwords.
Absolutely LOVE syncthing. I recently had to go on an emergency trip and was glad I set up syncthing on my phone but hated that I didn't set it up properly on my laptop.
Their town exists for one reason: to oppress others. The residents of that town will quickly learn that once there are no minorities, they will become the minority.
I've reached a point of just not giving a fuck. I've begun to wonder if that's why I'm getting laid off but if so, then I deserve it but with an asterisk.
I worked 30-40 hours and delivered exceptional work. Quality of which was on par with my peers who easily work 50-60 hours a week. My boss works 80+ hours a week and I just keep asking myself "why give the company so much of your life and it doesn't give a flying fuck about you?"
I'm sorry if you don't see me hustling. I'm going to give you my everything, but within the timebox we've agreed to. Yes, I'll agree to work the occasional overtime for incident management, etc. but I am for sure not going to work 50-60 hours a week regularly.
My life is worth more than the job and I am not going to waste it behind a screen moving numbers around for more time than I need to.
I have a terrible back but love gardening so I invested in 3 foot high bins. They are a life saver for not only my back but keeps rabbits from eating the vegetables. If you get the right soil mixture you don't have to worry about the weeds.
The dirt....you can't do much about that except hydroponics like you said but that has its drawbacks too. At the end, you do what helps you and keeps you happy.
My biggest issue at this point is mosquitoes so I've started wearing long pants and a light jacket. That seems to have helped things.
I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
My experience with using grocery store bought garlic is mixed. When it did work, it grew a lot of leaves but not the bulb. When I researched this, it's because garlic requires specific soil conditions to grow its bulbs.
But bulb aside, garlic is a good natural critter repellent. It's good to grow around lettuce and kale. Though I haven't found a good cover plant to keep white butterflies away. Right now I'm using netting which they can sometimes find a way into.
If you're scrappy, you can just dumpster dive for your groceries.
