That’s how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That’s it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn’t one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they’re agreed upon by consensus.

Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. “I’m bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I’ll make you do as I wish” isn’t a part of anarchist theory.

Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.

That’s MTG, right? Who’s the jumpsuit guy?

“Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule.”

I was taught to repeat that phrase, at a normal steady pace, when I saw the back of their car go past something, to use as a marker (a signpost, the end of one of the lines on the road, whatever).

If you finish the phrase after the front of your car has gone past the same marker, then you don’t have a big enough braking distance and need to ease off a bit.

Which Google Translate thinks means Red Stubble haha

It means Red Point

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term “red” here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.

Great pic!

Buachaille Etive Mòr translates as “great/big herdsman of Etive” for anyone curious, with Etive being the name of the river/glen.

It’s definitely an advert.

That’s why I bought a tarp. I know it’s gonna take me a couple years to get round to fixing the roof but I don’t want the rafters etc to rot in the meantime so I’ma chuck a big ol’ tarp on top and call it good until I can get my mind to hyperfixate on fixing it.

I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom’s Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.

And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they’re both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn’t even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.

Dominance over the definition of the word dominance even

Does it matter? Ultimately, these are estimates. Educated, data backed estimates, but still estimates.

One larger than expected volcanic eruption, coral reefs dying faster than expected, whatever, all it takes is one or two things to not go the way they’re expected and everything speeds up.

20 years or 25 years, the point is we’re all kinda fucked unless we do something about it.

What we need to do has been and will continue to be debated ad nauseam, but we know we must do something.

What’s your alternative to democracy after this “peaceful revolution”? Who’s in charge? You?

Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?

And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.

Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork

What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?

Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?

It validates that governments can see what’s happening on Telegram, and that makes Telegram a target.

They can’t go after the likes of Signal because they have very little to go on in the first place. They can’t say definitively what’s happening there as they can’t see any messages. Unlike Telegram.

It’s not a conspiracy that Signal are compromised, so they’re being ignored. They’re being ignored because there’s nothing to see, so governments might as well spend resources going after the apps where information is visible instead. At least they might get a result. E2EE apps are too difficult.

Signal only delivers a promise that their E2EE will be enough to make the information govts get useless.

Signal do more than just a promise. Their encryption techniques are available to see. You can confirm if it’s enough protection for you or not. Telegram are the ones making a promise. I’m not saying they’ve broken their promise (as evidenced by the arrest).

But it is just a promise when Telegram still has the ability to see messages. Signal can’t see messages and therefore don’t have to rely on a promise that can be broken (willingly or not). They instead rely on encryption, which appears to be far stronger than any promise could be.

For all we know, this is performative and the French government already has access to Telegram’s servers and can see everything. If they have access to Signal’s, oh well, they can’t see shit.

Which part of the US 🇺🇸 is Austria 🇦🇹 in?

Energy costs many times what it did too

Perhaps for the consumer, not for the energy providers

What costs more? Gas or wind? Oil or solar? Coal or wave?

There’s a premium charged for new technology, sure. To cover R&D costs, new tooling, etc, but once the machinery is made, the fuel is essentially free. The wind blows itself, the sun has its own fuel, the tides move freely

Energy arbitrarily costs more because those that sell it have decided it costs more. Aka corporate greed, which is what this post is complaining about in the first.
