    why is lemmy so anticatholic?

  • In the US? That's a weird way to write "world wide". And you think, what you posted is enough? The abuse is underpinned by structures deep in the catholic church. It takes a hell of a lot more for changing that, than just sacrifying some pawns. There are studies about this, which state clearly and painfully, how the catholic church supported and protected perpetrators and how they actively hindered the full disclosure of the cases by independent researchers. These are problems, that are still active and are discussed a lot. And the big publicity wave was like 2010, so 16 years ago.

    Greetings from an ex catholic in germany, who quit out of rage about the churches eggretious actions.

    PS: Did you know, that the catholic church in germany tries to chance its structures to be more grassroots instead of strict hierarcy (even a little bit)? It's called the Synodal path. Triggered by real grassroot movements like Maria 2.0. Though the Vatican is really upset about that and tried to end this change.

  • How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it?

  • And Jamal Khashoggi

  • Taboo names

  • In germany though Adolf is also taboo. There is even a german drama movie about this naming choice (I think its called "Der Name", so "The Name")

  • If something could rotate infinitely after being initially pushed, would the initial push disqualify it from being classed as perpetual motion?

    Jump

  • Ah, thanks. Thats explains it quite good. Basically everywhere in space we have at least some energy. And where we have enery particles will pop into existance and be destroyed again (photons mostly I guess for low energy like with the background radiation in space). These particles only live a short amount of time, but they can still collide with objects like dust or even planets. And when these objects move, the particles in the front will basically collide harder/more, than in the back. Thus a small force against the moving direction is exerted on the object, proportional to its speed (just like friction). Though this is only significant for small objects like dust or on a very very very long time scale.

  • What quantum effects exactly? How does that work?

  • Looking for input/feedback on what work would look like in solarpunk settings

    Jump

  • In that story it the shown example was about tending to the communities vegetable and fruit plants on the buildings top. Though I can also see cleaning up or transporting stuff. Maybe even a system, where citizens would be socially required (as part of the notmal upbringing, not enforced with force) to learn basic tasks from each of the most important areas of expertise, to then do these basic tasks as chores, keeping the experts free for more complex work (and simultaneously spreading wide knowledge)

  • Looking for input/feedback on what work would look like in solarpunk settings

    Jump

  • In some solarpunk shortstories, that I read with a bookclub recently, there are still kinda jobs. Probably there will always be some undesired things to be done by humans (too complicated or too resource intensive to automate). Basically the stories (I think it was in "Halfway to better" by Susan Kaye Quinn) outlined two kinds of jobs:

    • your main profession: Chosen based on your likings and what you are good in. Heavy focus on learning, teaching and services for the community
    • chores: Often basic communal chores, those jobs not automated and not fitting for a specific profession. Done round robin by every member of the communal space

    These stories have a heavy focus on achieving things for the community as a whole. Work both as self expression and service to others. That sounds quite appealing to me. It shows a way for a highly technologised society, without going the monopolised power route of Cyberpunk.

    Adjacent to that: In "Always coming home" by Le Guin the outlined society (which is more of the low tech variant of Solarpunk) has a nice quirk. The people choose their profession and the results that you produce are yours. But being rich has a totally different meaning for them. Only the one, who gives much of his or her overproduction to the community (through communal resource fund for example) is considered rich (connotated positively from both the individual and communal side). The one who, who hoards is considered poor. So there are still jobs, and the society absolutely expects you to work. Though because everyone is contributing according to their abilities to communal life and funds, nobody suffers due to inability to work.

  • just think of the optimizations!

  • And somehow we would still have US americans tell us, that pangea is too big for a usable railway network.

  • Should cash stay alive to enable "private" transactions?

    Jump

  • In most cases this problem is already there, even with cash. One time the local supermarkets lost the connection to their backbone system due to a cyber attack. They did not sell a thing, not even for cash, as their registers were dependend on that connection.

  • Nah, no need to drag disabled people into this thing about a student being a Bozo

  • How do you find the right wedding photographer?

    Jump

  • Wow, that sounds expensive to me. Might depend on what exactly you book for the pictures. We also had a friends rate, but with like 250€ for the 2h shooting and 800€ for the rest of the wedding day. From what I have seen before, without a friends rate we would have been between 1500 and 2000€. That was 2024. Is it that much more expensive in the states?

  • I have not yet watched the video, but it also depends on how easy it is to find the needed settings and how authorative they are. Previously I was on Ubuntu trying to get Nine Sols working with a usable framerate. ProtonDB hat some comments about the needed settings, each comment saying something different, non of them giving positive results. And for using something like gamemode I first had to install it, which is just another step not provided by anything other than comments.

    When I installed Bazzite on the same PC (which was torture in itself because I didn't want to give it a full disk alone), everything worked out of the box for all my games. That tells me, that Ubuntu had no focus on making the experience for gaming better. Similar to Fedora 43 removing support for old Nvidia cards, while Bazzite still supports them. (I still debate myself on switching again from fedora because of all the hassle)

  • "Less efficient" is quite a misnomer here, since the meshtastic network mainly has to work around the regulations, which leaves it only small timeframes for transmitting. When such a project can only transmit for a few minutes per hour, then naturally it has way less bandwidth overall

    Do moderators have special understanding?

    Jump

  • Who should have authority is a really subjective topic. You cannot find a matric, that will fit the definitions of the complete fediverse. So the current solution basically is ditching the vetting process (as it is subjective) and give everyone the possibility to build their community (or instance) with their own rules, admins and moderators. Then the users can choose where to go.

    Is that perfect? No. It just solves the problem of moderation (which is necessary to avoid the worst behavior of human kind) differently than mainstream social media, by creating niches for everyone, which can be isolated by blocking and defederating.

    Of course you can build your own instance and set the rule, than anyone, who wants to moderate, has to provide proof of corresponding education for the community. Maybe that works, though I doubt it.

  • Go to Settings, then Apps. Choose your app and then select mobile data usage (or similar, since I translated this from german). There you can find a switch for disallowing network access for the app. Works great
