The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
Maybe public opinion will change now that there’s white victims of the genocide too
They aren’t the root, but they’re a strong enabler
I don’t blame Ukraine for defending their home, but I do blame the US for pulling strings everywhere and causing tensions that lead to war. It’s something that has happened again and again, and no one really cares because it’s usually not a problem of the West.
You’ll see an actual migrant crisis in the coming years because of the climate change republicans keep ignoring
There’s no such thing as ‘apolitical’. The very idea of leaving politics to our superior politicians is what brought us and keeps us in this state.
This is not at all a political issue however. This is about not being a trash human being. Being racist is not a political opinion, it’s spreading hatred in the world and being a waste of skin.
Rapists should be locked up for life, not 30 years and definitely not 6 months. Given of course that there’s actual concrete evidence for it.
If the Great Filter theory is correct, climate change will most likely be our Great Filter.
Our species is simply not equipped with the ability to deal with the problems it created. Many people can, but they’re not powerful to do anything, and there’s too many uneducated people for the masses to rise up about this problem.
We think so short term, it’s impossible for some people to think about the future and accept that we’ll need to change the way we live now so that we can keep living then. They’re hung up on Chernobyl because it was a big bang that killed lots of people at once and it was televised everywhere that has a society and TVs, but they are unable to see that in the long term coal and gas have killed and are still killing way more people than nuclear accidents, because it’s a process that’s continuous and kills people in indirect ways instead of a big blast.
It’s funny, but memes like this affect the opinion of people who haven’t tried it.
They mistake some extreme minimal arch rice for the general Arch experience or the general Linux experience as well. If so many Lemmy users, who are statistically tech nerds, don’t see through the meme, then the average person will definitely stay away from Linux.
That’s the reason why UBI and raising the minimum wage isn’t a permanent solution for the working class though. They are good and provide some relief certainly, but in the end the corporations will exploit even harder, raise prices causing inflation that makes the raises unimportant, and use all that as a debate point to show that giving back to the workers leads to price raises.
Workers should still fight for raises, benefits and better contracts, but the end goal should be ending the system that gives the owners of capital all the power in the world.
