11·10 months agoThe US should improve treatment of mental health issues.
The US should recover public confidence in its political system.The things you have suggested are just distractions away from these two points and won’t fix anything.
Your point about mental health issues is about the victim being bullied or being avoided by others I guess ?
If I refuse to buy Nike shoes like all others, and if I decide to wear all black clothes with heavy metal shirts and I prefer to read books rather than talk loud and the rest of my class mates avoid me for reasons, does that mean I need to get therapy ?
1·10 months agoHell, no. Don’t put the responsibility on victims to help their bullies/abusers.
I see. In Europe things are different.
Here is an example of a school which has anti-bullying policy :
https://www.eeb3.eu/app/uploads/2022/03/B3-Anti-bullying-Policy-EN.pdf- Our Anti-Bullying Policy is based on the principles that:
- Each individual must be treated with respect
- Bullying is never an individual problem, as it degrades the atmosphere at school.
- Bullying is a problem that can be addressed.
- All members of the school community (school staff, parents and pupils) are called upon to prevent and
react against all forms of bullying. - All members of the school community must have the opportunity to be listened to, respected and
supported.
Also, it’s not always a clear cut bully/victim dynamic. My school had a loner gun-loving asocial student. He probably thought he was bullied. In reality he made people, especially the girls, super uncomfortable and he was avoided. No one really made fun of him, never physically attacked him, never pulled pranks on him, just avoided him. Not inviting his friendship is not bullying. He needed professional help.
Forcing me, for example, to talk to him and pretend to be his friend would have been bad for both of us. He needed counseling/therapy, which I was not and still am not qualified to provide, and I needed safe friends I could trust.
Okay. That is a lone wolf example, it is not about active bullying.
I consider bullying to be violent in general.
Even words can be damaging for some people.
The whole “boys don’t cry” is a tragedy in my opinion and has done a lot of emotional damage already.And reading this today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_L._Trump#Personal_life I would not be at all
surprised if Donald Trump would benefit from long time therapy.
You heard me. They’re getting fooled into helping the oil industry and all enemies of nature. They’re making the randoms that form the majority hate climate activists, and I think it’s deliberate.
How much positive have you heard from people outside of activism about their actions? How much criticism have you heard from withing activist circles?
How much positive have you heard from politicians about the huge climate report that scientists worked on for almost 10 years, delivered March last year ?
In the Netherlands in the last few years a significant difference was seen between how protesting farmers were treated and how climate protesters were treated. The farmers were allowed to do crazy things like setting things on fire on highways and not getting arrested. Eventually some got arrested, and then two of them were released awaiting their court-case because they had a family to take care of and a 40+ hours work week (sic). The climate protesters were usually all arrested, and almost no matter how many they were. Hundreds of protestors ? No problem. Just hijack some public buses as usual and take them out. Farmers ? Oh no, let’s not get our food serving workers even more angry than they are! It is almost like cops are trained to counter certain types of protestors only. Maybe they need some better counter farmer protest training.
In these difficult times this is awful and depressing news :(

To me there is a significant difference between a possible US dictatorship a la Project 2025 and the Western Europe where the far right is in some governments but certainly not close to a dictatorship (Things are different in the East of Europe, for example in Hungary). And there’s more differences, compare worker unions in the US versus Europe. And compare gun ownership in the US versus Europe. Same for death penalty. I consider the EU future a breeze compared to the US future.
Europe, who is already seeing far right insurgencies due to a few immigrants?
A few immigrants ? Remember that Europe got a whole bunch of refugees from Ukraine to look after.
And the USA is huge compared to Europe, especially to some small countries in Europe like Belgium, Holland.
The problem of the rise of far-right is more complex.
I’d like to second that. When it comes to “far-right boiling point” several countries in Europe look like a breeze compared to Project 2025 minded US. Far right is on the rise in Western-Europe but things are not so bad yet. Not sure about the specific gay friendliness per country but countries like Germany (except the East and part of the South), Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, France could be interesting to read more about. Portugal actually had its borders wide open for some time for immigrants to work and live there but they now have some (but not so bad?) restrictions for non-EU citizens.

Am I overlooking something ? Configure your TV to get IP address and DNS settings via DHCP from your pi-hole WiFi access point. If you are worried about a DHCP conflict, just make sure that the IP range that both DHCP servers hand out have a different range, and check whether your devices always got the same IP address before, and adjust the ranges accordingly.
111·1 year agoIn some open source projects there is a lot of leeching and little contributions.
In 2020 the sole developer of Invidious stepped away from development because of burn out. https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source
Also in 2020 developer Raymond Hill archived the uMatrix browser add-on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24532973
I will never hand over development to whoever, I had my lesson in the past – I wouldn’t like that someone would turn the project into something I never intended it to become (monetization, feature bloat, etc.). At most I would archive the project and whoever is free to fork under a new name. For now I resisted doing this, so people will have to be patient for new stable release.
What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare.
There was a comment on Mastodon or Lemmy saying that the bad actor had been working with the project for two years so earlier versions may have malicious code as well already.
The example you are giving about fighting back turned out to be in your favor.
But things could have gone wrong, especially when a whole group would have backed the other guy.
And by that you are sort of advocating a survival of the fittest which is maybe not a good idea
when you are small and timid versus some strong guy.
I believe it is not wrong to involve school personnel when bullying happens.
In Europe anti bullying policies were implemented years ago. I remember reading that in newspapers.
Here is an example of a school which has anti-bullying policy :

react against all forms of bullying.
