A more direct democracy would do wonders, but we could start off with “the watchmen should know and follow the law”

We can all be watchmen

The amount of political parties doesn’t mean there’s any actual checks and balances, having a direct effect on the system does

We can be each others’ watchers, hierarchy isn’t a natural law

What if we had 12 parties that were all captured by corporate interests?

Everything can be corrupted, the apparent amount of choices doesn’t make the choice any better or worse

If even I don’t laugh at my own jokes, why would anyone else laugh at them? The worse the joke, the more I laugh

There’s nothing more foss coded than furries

For ad hoc transfers, easiest way is to pack it with 7zip (or any other compression software with proper encryption) and setting a proper password for the file

The funniest solution I’ve found was a service that offered secure transfer of passwords between devices through their “encrypted transmission” with a password field on their website

FYI, don’t give any password to a service you aren’t using with that service

I love Indian culture and food, back in university I lived, studied and worked with quite a few Indian people and they all were kind, smart and very hospitable

I feel like quite large part of animosity towards Indian people (besides the usual racism) stems from the outsourcing of jobs there, especially with customer service, and even then going for the lowest offer

I’ve personally had both good and bad experiences with Indian customer service, but even with the bad experiences it’s obvious that the problem is a lack of resources and not the worker

Unfortunately people are quick to blame the service worker instead of the organization, and this gives an acceptable excuse for their internalized racism

You said to not base the response on the people we know, but anything that I see from the news or read online doesn’t reflect the people, it reflects the system

The only way to form an honest opinion of a group of people is to meet them, and even if all of those people somehow are the exception to the norm, they still represent and reflect their culture and where they come from

What’s with the comparison?

Every time this was attempted we chose the language of the worst colonizer at that time

I just stash everything and manually copy-paste all the relevant changes, I’m salaried so I don’t care about wasting time

Yeah, I tried to make a funny bit about red flags but avoiding sectarianism muddled it
