Never. There’s always more to do. Once you can produce food, shelter and entertainment with zero effort

We’ve been able to do that for about 100 years now. All of humanity’s technological problems have been solved - on paper - for generations. There’s unfortunately never been a magical consolidation period where all the hungry were fed and all the exposed were sheltered. That’s not something that automatically happens.

The technology and production capacity to raise Somalia to the same literacy, living standard and life expectancy as Denmark exists. It would just require surplus growth and production capacity to go to Somalia and not Denmark for a few generations. Example nations are arbitrary, adjust as needed.

Oh, that is good news. Hurray!

You’re incorrect. I am disgusted by actual abuse, but I am also legitimately disgusted by the idea of anyone having sexualised thoughts about children. If you can tell me that these people have no control over that then you must be able to comprehend that as a parent I have no control over my protective instincts.

The idea of people who are sexually attracted to my children, or any children, being anywhere in the vaguest vicinity of them triggers very deep instinctual reactions. Whether those people intend to act or not.

Well, if you’re worried about thoughts, what do you suppose will create a safer environment for your offspring? De-stigmatization of problematic urges, allowing the afflicted to openly participate in society and receive assistance, or active and violent ostracization and persecution, forcing each and every afflicted person into immediate, life-long and hopeless secrecy?

Just like anyone else you have the ability to act against your immediate instincts, because sometimes, as exemplified by the premise of this whole thread, instincts are just shit.

Fuck anyone who thinks abusing children is fine and normal. Fuck you all so hard to hell. Get the absolute fuck away from my kids.

I’m pretty damn left, but I have zero empathy at all for anyone who is thinking sexual shit about children. I’m livid. Holy shit.

Abuse is a choice. Sexual attraction isn’t. You’re worked up about abuse, not about pedophilia.

That’s not a question.

Looks like some kind of advertising account with either a product or an idea to sell.

Yes, it hurts discoverability. How can you have a community without people?

I’d like to ask it the other way around: How many people would it need until you’d say “Yep, that’s a community alright.”?

The alternative is no morality at all. And in that case, you’re either following the law out of love for your state and/or fellow human, or because you don’t want to be sent to prison for breaking the law.

You’re going in a circle there. If individually define moral action as “an action that cannot be derived from anything but some kind of supernatural being”, then yeah, you can dismiss anything else on normative grounds. But then what’s the point of asking “How can something be morally wrong if there is no God?”?

Users shouldn’t have to care about jurisdiction if the servers cannot ever read their messages in the first place. Any app that fails to meet this requirement should wholesale be disqualified.

What madness is this? Surely this is not about the servers reading a message, but about the user having or not having legal recourse against a server abusing whatever it is they can read. Metadata is data. Someone somewhere will know how much and when and in which patterns I communicate with who. And how much control I have over what they do with that knowledge simply depends on the jurisdiction. Technical considerations are irrelevant for that 🤷

Warum sagst du nicht einfach Raps?

Weil ich zum Ausdruck bringen möchte, dass ich wenig Liebe zur Agrarflächennutzung für Tierfutter- und Kraftstoffgewinnung und damit wenig Liebe zum Raps habe - bestensfalls eine Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme für Landwirte und schlimmstenfalls eine gänzlich vermeidbare Überbewirtschaftung.

Exactly, it’s just a shakedown.

Man… Cloudflare’s PR department has been moving mountains over the past 5 years. In my mind their brand still only barely ranks above the Khmer Rouge.

Ich wusste nicht das man Tote härter bestrafen kann. Tut mir eher um den Bauern leid der da nichts anbauen kann.

Oh nein, weniger Tierfuttermittel und Dieselraps!
Selbst als Ackerbesitzer kann ich dir sagen: Agrarflächen sind wunderschöne Geldanlagen, aber keine sinnvolle Nutzung von Fläche. Eine größtenteils obsolete Berufsgruppe mag zu Recht über ihre eigene Obsoleszenz enttäuscht und erbost sein, und dass dir das Leid tut spricht für deine Empathie - aber Agrarpolitik kann man auf dieser Basis nicht machen. Es wird zu viel angebaut, lass mal weniger anbauen.

I was an idiot and bought a high end TPLink router, I can’t even use Vlans without signing up for their back door service.

Hm, at least with their enterprise equipment you can completely disable Omada.

Dann geht die Diskussion über die Progression wieder los, bei der man dann wieder auf die magischen 65000€ brutto als Höchstsatz kommt. 65k sind nicht viel. 65k sind mehr als viele haben, weil die meisten in diesem Land bei solchen Diskussionen die Angeschissenen sind. Aber solange man da nicht mal an die wirklich Reichen geht, anstatt sich selbst zu zerfleischen, glaube ich, dass wir hier keine faire Kurve finden werden.

Ich denke, ich verstehe dich falsch, aber ich kann es mir nicht anders zusammenreimen - ich lese in diesen Sätzen: “Ich habe die Hoffnung auf eine faire Lösung für dieses oder ähnliche Probleme grundsätzlich aufgegeben”.
Ich meine… wenn man inhärent unfaire Dinge wie Höchstsätze à la Spitzensteuersätze oder Beitragsbemessungsgrenzen überhaupt zulässt, kommt am Ende natürlich nie eine “faire Kurve” raus.
Darf man halt nicht zulassen 🤷

Jedes Jahr feilschen Bund und Länder über die Zukunft des Deutschlandtickets. Stattdessen sollten der Preis sowie die Zuschüsse der Politik mit der Inflation steigen. Das wäre einfach und fair.

Einfach und fair wäre, alle Bundesbürger einen jährlichen einkommensabhängigen ÖPNV-Beitrag zahlen zu lassen und dann sämtliche öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel als Mobilitäts-Grundversorgung allen Bundesbürgern kostenlos zur Verfügung zu stellen…

There are lots of traditional crafts channels from all the corners of the world, if that scratches your itch. How about something like this?

I used to have a (high-ranking and well-educated) foreign colleague who used to think that the “Main” indeed signified that this was the bigger and more significant of multiple Frankfurts.
I honestly can’t blame him, it was a deceptivley plausible misconception.
