I mean if you had bothered to open the article, it's in the 2nd paragraph:

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year

Using something like DOS is neither preferred nor more safe. Last time MS DOS received a security patch was 23 years ago. It's open to pretty much any security vulnerability you can think of. In case you depend on a DOS app it's preferable to run it on a modern OS that is DOS compatible, windows 10 32bit for example (I believe Win11 still has support). Or even better sandboxed in an emulator like DOSBox on a more secure OS.

Yeah, equation nazism with germans in general and zionism with jews in general is an insane self report.

Exactly this, you need to ground this type of argument in material analysis. Getting into a moral grandstanding contest with libs is an extremely pointless waste of time. Noone likes civilian (debatable how innocent you can claim israeli citizens are when they are actively participating in settler colonialism) casualties, what's the cause? How do you stop it? By dissolving the illegal state of Israel.

Yeah I don't get why people are acting like your output can't be tracked without spying on you. I logged exactly 8h to my company's time tracking platform last month (cause I keep forgetting we have a new platform for that) and I got no shit for it. Because my output is clearly visible in terms of all the PRs merged.

Yeah he gives so much back, like the time he was lobbying against lifting the patent on covid vaccines at the height of the pandemic so developing countries can afford them because he invested in vaccine companies.

How does that boot taste tho?

It's disappointing but necessarily surprising tbh. China has been doing state capitalism for a while now.

As for your question these statistics aren't necessarily contradictory to the idea of extreme poverty being reduced/eradicated. As this is basically a measure of wealth inequality, and while it might be worse than pre revolution, the standard of life is undoubtedly much higher. This is a result of China's explosive economic growth, there is simply way more wealth in China than ever before. So a higher wealth inequality isn't necessarily a good indicator of poverty. It is however an apt representation of the CCP's economic policies over the past two decades and is a good indicator that poverty will rise once China's growth slows down if wealth inequality isn't addresed.

Do you seriously beleive that the only way people with disabilities are being discriminated against is in the form of being unable to work as productively and are therefore unable to provide for themselves under capitalism?

The word has effectively lost all meaning starting with neolib youtubers posing as leftists ( think Vaush etc). I'm an anarchist and got called a tankie for debunking propaganda against 20th century socialist projects. I have my critiques of the communist projects and leaders of the 20th century but apparently if I don't buy CIA propaganda that makes me a tankie.

Idk why you would ever allow r/196 to move to your instance. I had to unsub from that place like a year before I even moved to Lemmy. I'm not trans so maybe my perspective is a bit skewed but that place always seemed to fetishize trans people so much, especially mtf. Also the users there seemed very keen on pushing one specific way to be trans as valid. When anyone in the comments would complain about any of this they would be downvoted to hell. I'm of the mind that even if you don't think you're doing anything objectively wrong if people complain that it's hurtful you should try to be accommodating, especially in a trans place/community. I genuinely don't understand why you would allow that kind of community to migrate to your instance if you have a goal of building a safe space for queer people.

On a different note I specifically avoided blahaj when trying to find an instance to settle on cause I saw 196 was there, so I guess I dodged a bullet.

I thought you were exaggerating that part about the tone of voice. But my god that is an incredible level of annoying.

Because you're implying that it's 50x more efficient than jpeg, it's not. For similar visual quality of images webp will on average produce a ~30% smaller file.
