How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?

In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.

If I start to tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?

Don’t fuck with the French.

People forget they were a super power for centuries.

He wishes he had that kind of desert power.

I don’t think portraying the execs as just dumb and the general public as mega brains is accurate…

The execs want to strip out value as profit and take actions to maximise this, they don’t care if it fundamentally tanks the business because as long as they make a profit overall they can just drop the husk that’s left at the end and move onto another business they can bleed dry.

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

The unwashed masses (like myself) will eventually change Lemmy. I don’t think it will ruin it completely because the best part about having hundreds of millions of lemmings is the niche communities.

The main instances and communities are going to get shot to hell though. I’ve accepted that.

Could you post your social security number, please?

“Well are we going to have a serious conversation? Because firstly I need to tell you about the 1647 agreement between the ethnic Russians located in the western Donbas who sent a letter signed gestures off screen to aide here see these letters, completely legitimate. Completely. They say that Ukraine belongs to Russia for ever and ever and they are Nazis because in 1806 the countries border was changed in the Crimean-Polish revolutionary conflict led by the Tsar of Russia.”

I’ve just had premonitions of cars crashing into each other in car parks when the ‘self parking’ mode is hacked…

Work colleague crystallised their losses during the GFC by selling their 401k and changing the asset allocation to Cash.

They didn’t convert it back to stocks until 2018…

General Veers would like a word.

Hollow Knight

Apparently not that much of an unpopular opinion though reading through the comments.

This has to be stopped. Just look at what Napster did to the music industry. That’s right, there used to be a music industry and now it’s just…gone. No more music, no more money to be made in music. Don’t let these evil streaming services do the same to poor defenceless Hollywood, bastion of women’s rights!

Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil, Raytheon, Boeing, Rio Tinto, BHP, Nestle.

Nope Apple is the worst.

Sometimes Lemmy has way too much of a bias towards tech for its own good…

Immigrants and trans people! Obviously.

People have conscious and unconscious biases.

They are prejudiced and can’t allocate money objectively. This woman is directing the use of this money even though that may not be the best use of the money.

When you look at this on a macro scale, what is the system we have for allocating resources across an entire country? Government.

Is it perfect? No, but it doesn’t change the fact the most efficient and objective means we have is government.

In short, I don’t want a system where a huge racist can accumulate vast wealth and society has the prevailing view that this racist will be altruistic through some mystical force.

That just reenforces the need for betraying class.

People in those western countries have to find solidarity with the worker, whichever country they are in.

Although I don’t think having internet access and living in a capitalist country automatically makes you bourgeoise.

Class traitors are necessary to bring about a state of communism.

This type of behaviour should be encouraged.

Annnnnd now I close this post.

You know what’s closer to the UK than Australia?

Literally any European country.

In fact you can just drive goods into Britain from Europe or put them on a train instead of shipping/flying it from literally the other side of the world.
