It doesn't have to be one or the other. Communal action and solidarity are essential for providing benefits to individuals.

You may ask your boss to raise your pay, likely to be rejected, or you can join a union and demand a much higher pay and better working conditions.

You may do your best to add small niceties to shared spaces, or you can unite with your neighbors and make the community thrive.

You may stand alone against injustice, only to be moved when convenient. Or you can walk the streets together, making your shared concerns heard.

Neither of it is actually much ideologically tied, and it can go in any direction. But the point is, collective action is best when addressing issues many people face individually.

Building a culture of self-made individualism is a deliberate attempt to remove the levers of power granted by collective action, and to make it easier to crush dissent on the way to build an authoritarian dystopia.

That's not to say collective action cannot be abused to make a very ugly society - fascism is one example - but that the best results are achieved when the individuals retain their own views, but are willing to cooperate over the shared issues.

About a year ago, burned my family photo collection as yet another backup. Took a stack of DVD-R's to write, but now I also have it in one more format!

Russia benefits heavily from this map projection

Really, it's this size: 1000100517

My favorite is KDE asking for user password upon waking from sleep even if you have autologin enabled.

So, all you have to do to circumvent the login window is to reboot.

“The bureaucracy is inhibiting the science, and that’s unacceptable to me,” he says. “One week of people dying from not knowing about this is not trivial.”

Yeah, let's not wait for proper testing and research. That's a typical sign that something is very wrong.

Nice

Also, kudos to Lithuania! Seems like folks there really speed it up.

Absolutely. Not housing only, but housing first. The rest should come as well.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Sure, simply providing housing may not solve everything, and complex measures must be taken to ensure mental wellbeing, fiscal responsibility, lack of addictions etc.

But housing and income must come first, as not having that prevents effective therapy. When you're in survival mode, you're not particularly productive resolving your other issues.

Again, hopefully these are all jokes.

Capitalism doesn't bring us anything; it's a distribution system. No machines will suddenly disappear if it's gone, no researchers, developers and engineers will suddenly die, and the world will just keep spinning.

 

Stumbled across this gem produced by the U.S. Army Pictorial Service back when the original Nazi scars were still bleeding.

It talks about the tricks Nazis used to get to power, the tactics of division and suppression they have used, the fate of those who follow Nazi footsteps, and what needs to be done to stop them.

Truly a brilliant piece.

 

Some may notice that pika@rekabu.ru has been appointed moderator of !Antisexism@lemmy.today and !positivity@lemmy.today. This is my second account.

Unfortunately, as of recently, lemmy.today isn't always properly available from my region, and I want to ensure things go smooth even if VPNs fail. Nothing else changes, both accounts belong to me. Hope for your understanding!

After a while of running quite dry and moving my science on sheer enthusiasm and ramen, I finally got personal research funding and a great side job.

Now I can continue doing my thing, and on the side earn enough to cover all living expenses, plus a bit extra. The path is rocky at times, but I'm grateful I struggled through and got some recognition!

A simple recipe I made on a new home. Not having much cookware or even a dedicated table for eating, but found it to be nice enough to share.

Chopsticks brought to me from mom's trip to China - apparently, these are considered single-use by some places there! (Chinese folks, wonder if it's actually common?).

Anyway, had a nice lunch :)

 

Star Wars universe does have lasers of all scales and power levels.

Yet literally no one uses them well on a personal scale.

The Jedi (and Sith for that matter) imbue it with a power of magical stone, and then...use it as a saber.

To balance this stupidity, stormtroopers, clones and droids all use slow, non-continuous energy blasters. With actual lasers, they could insta-kill any Jedi, but they cannot, because otherwise the movie wouldn't exist.

 

Hi! Got an issue I couldn't figure out

When I use /etc/fstab to automount an SMB share using CIFS, I cannot unmount it without root privileges. If I mount it manually (as a non-privileged user), everything works just fine.

Also, an application I mount the share for (Pika Backup, based on borg) cannot access backups unless I unmount the share with root privileges and then mount it back manually.

A respective line in /etc/fstab is: //address/directory /mnt/backup cifs credentials=...,user,auto,iocharset=utf8 0 2

Highlighted user option to make it clear I didn't forget it.

Any advice?

 

I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!

Throughout North America, June is known for two major events: Pride Month, and, most recently, Men's Health Month: a time to pay closer attention to issues regarding men's health in general and mental wellbeing in particular.

According to National Alliance on Mental Illness, 19% of adult U.S. men have experienced mental illness, but only 45,9% received any help. Without help, many men resort to substance abuse and suicide. At the same time, gender stereotypes still prevent many male patients from addressing the mental health challenges they face, while encouraging dangerous behaviors.

As such, bridging the cultural, financial, and other gaps in men's access to mental health services is crucial and beneficial for everyone.

 

Some people describe it as a network, some people describe it as a forum, yet somehow we have providers, and at the same time Usenet is seen as anonymous despite having a proxy in the form of a provider...for someone grown way after the Usenet prime, this all doesn't make sense.

What is Usenet, actually? Is it a separate network? Is it layered on top of the Internet? If it's the latter, why do I need some Usenet provider and why does it need to retain information (and why doing it for as long as possible is desirable?). Please help me connect the dots here.

 

Today is the 48th year the world as a whole gets to celebrate International Women's Day - a day celebrating the achievements of women fighting for a better, more equal and fair future.

In this day, it is important to revisit the origins of this celebration, and what it means for the people and for the feminist (and wider antisexist) movement.

 

According to recent studies, women remain to be underrepresented in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); for example, women only fill 31,2% of R&D jobs globally, with most parts of Asia, North America and Western Europe among the underdogs. On the other hand, Central Asia leads the way with 49% of research positions filled by women, along with some of the Eastern European countries such as Lithuania, Bulgaria and Latvia all exceeding the 50% mark.

As the share of women in STEM raises within a country, it gets easier to maintain as women feel more represented and capable of the career. One of the interesting observations is that the share of women in STEM is higher in the countries where there have been large historical shifts that expedited their inclusion; for example, most post-Soviet countries have better numbers of gender equality in the field, as the now-dissolved country has put big emphasis on the higher education of women, forming a self-sustaining image of women as scientists and innovators.
