Being married usually bring very important rights. A good example is legally being considered a partner if the other is in a hospital. In pre-same-sex marriage there have been conc…

Funny that you compare YPG to ISIS. YPG/YPJ (alongside others in SDF) where some of the most successful militia in fighting back against ISIS (so much that there where some strateg…

You absolutely have to be conscious of reactivity and how that stuff works in React as well. This is complexity that you as a dev have to deal with in some way. Svelte and React ma…

My frustrations with AMP (as a user) was originally what pushed me to DuckDuckGo. Now I rarely encounter AMP-versions of sites.

It's frequently brought up in radical leftist discourse* (marxism, anarchism, etc…) or even center-left discourse (social democracy, social liberalism, etc…). AFAICT it seems to be…

If you want to be realistic about your actual effect on the environment that's literally what you have to do. This is not some abstract game to be won. This making real changes in …

I really like the idea, but personally I got better results simply binding back and forward buttons to keyboard macros for 'ctrl -' and 'ctrl shift -' using Logitech‘s G-Hub softwa…

Anarchist societies certainly have rules and means of enforcing them, but the process of how the rules are radically more democratic than any liberal democracy. Look up EZLN or Roj…

Yeah, it's really funny how anarchism has this reputation for disorganisation. The anarchists I've met are super nerds about what is good democratic process going down to intricate…

Anarchists in general are quite negative to the prison system and often believes in alternatives, or at the very least tries to come up with alternatives (hard as that might be). T…

That’s because all the other kinds of anarchism: anarcho-communism, left wing market anarchism, primitivism, syndicalism, individualist anarchism (unrelated to right-wing libertari…

With the exception of anarchism being anti-capitalist. Any ‘anarchist’ that is pro-capitalism is generally not regarded as anarchist by the wider anarchist movement. Fun fact: befo…

Anarchists obviously don’t think this will come about by itself, they simply believe that it is possible to organize society in such a way that the statement above holds true. Anar…

It’s the statism as a way to out of capitalism they’re critical of. Anarchists tend to agree with Marx’ analysis of capitalism.

AFAIK universal health care is a fairly popular idea in the US, including by self-identified republicans.

Because sometimes a software project has specific problems which Rust specifically address. (Not that I'm personally a big fan of all these call to rewrite in Rust posts, there's a…

I don’t think there is any service I’ve been more happy with the last decade than this one. The (optional) PDF archival in particular is great. I also appreciate that since I pay f…

If you want to read a critique of modern industrialization and it impact on nature and society by someone who’s not a violent terrorist and has solutions beyond blowing shit up Mur…

I tried turning off smoothing and frankly the text was uncomfortably thin to read. I guess maybe their font should just be bolder by default so you don't need the glyph dilation to…

Yeah I have to say I agree. I think there was valid reasons for some of the framework churn early on (basically no proper standard way to do client side GUI). When the MVC-oriented…

I know it's tempting to do the whole ”oh that's a problem over in terrible USA” (a very common european way of thinking) but I'd be careful about it. Granted I think european polic…

This! What is funny that is that I started doing this before I knew anything at all about functional programming, I just started to avoid stuff that I had painful experiences with.…

Even if you don't experience discrimination based on body size, enough people do that it's become a subject and there are dedicated activists working to end discrimination based on…

No, it's a different institution based on different ways of organising power. For another example of this see Civil Defense Forces in Rojava[0] which are organized democratically. …

Anyone I've talked with that believed in abolishing police understood that it would need to be replaced by some kind of other institution. Suddenly removing the police like that is…
