Left-wing does not necessarily imply a centralized or planned economy.

The means of production would not just be yourself but also other work tools. A basic desk job wouldn’t really fall under this condition, since you usually don’t have control over your computer or the software running in it, for example. I couldn’t think of any example of a service job where all the work tools are worker controlled right now.

Also, at least in the EU, the laws have not just banned public straws but also a bunch of other single-use, non-degradable items. Plastic cutlery, qtips, and takeout food containers were banned too or severely limited. And there’ve been a lot of improvements that incentivise reusable containers over throwaway ones too.

This has likely happened because the german government created the social.bund.de instance earlier this year

The instance is almost 3.5 years old btw, which you can easily see from the instance admin account @itteam@social.bund.de. It just wasn’t used by many government departments at the time, mostly the data protection agency and the BSI. The @ltrlp@social.bund.de account itself is pretty old too. It dates back to before the whole Twitter debacle. I guess that’s also part of the reason why they decided to go full Mastodon, since they already have a lot of experiences with it.

Matrix is also decentralized/federated, has encryption integrated into the protocol and enjoys a broad adoption and public support. It also has pretty good integration of bots and even other message protocol services like IRC via “bridges”. The chat clients are pretty good too; Element is pretty much available for every platform but there’s other one’s which are more focussed on Desktop or mobile usage, depending on how you primarily use it.

Wait until you learn that PDFs support embedded Javascript.

Well yeah, but that waa because of an influx of spam and not because beehaw admins have anything against lemmyworld. Afaik they are currently working out with lemmyworld’s admin how to solve this situation and refederate.

I think that has been confirmed as a bug and will be fixed next release.

!rct@sopuli.xyz and !rct@lemmy.world should work much better.

I played Into the Breach to death on release. I even got all the mechs and achievements. Just looked at it again and it got a free Advanced Edition update?! Holy shit, brb playing the game a 3rd time!

The germans over on feddit.de may like it more.

What’s the difference?

Oh man this is just what I needed to chill before going to bed :)

These men are pawns!

Might be another bug because https://lemmy.ml/c/vpop@lemmy.ml (notice the instance postfix) also loads just fine. Maybe it’s something that has to do with how local instances get handled.

This article (in german) shows where it is in the account settings menu.

No, because the full community name always includes the instance name too. For example, there are already both !gaming@lemmy.ml and !gaming@beehaw.org which are independent from each other.

That’s great to hear. Maybe I will finally ditch Element for a true native app :)

Man these showcases are great. They give you a quick overwiew of the available software and are managing to keep it focussed on particular use cases. Probably the best introduction to Linux software I’ve seen so far.
