Bloody banking apps. I'm sick of them not exposing any API to make third party apps.

In context of this community, I personally feel it's intentionally-basic ground rule to keep healthy relationships with other people over the argument

I feel admins don't want to be overly prescriptive how you "suppose to" act but in every heated/controversial discussion they will try to keep peace/civility at the expense of "the truth"

Of course, this approach has its cons but one can always stroll to the instances with fewer/no ground rules while keeping your beehome clean and friendly

More like your neighbour broke into your house and declared you his slave. When you tried to resist he knocked you out and amputated 4 of your organs claiming they were his all along 🤯.

Nonono, listen bro, it's because, you see, he had relationships with your mom at some point of her life. So, you, by extend, benefited from this relationship (somehow?) and therefore owe him "a big deal".

When you called for police, he rambled something about the new world order and proceeded to wave his gun saying he would kill you and every policeman who would try to intervene.

Not so cute story now, is it?

So that's why Firefox's not at fdroid?...

I can't, my sight is poor, hope it's the next one

tbh, I don't really want to go into nitty gritty of this discussion because it's only a matter of moments before It will be necessary to write thousands of words and cite the most fundamental ancient literature to illustrate basic economic facts.

Please don't take it as derogatory, it's simply difficult to have a serious discussion about social (and economic by the extend) concepts over the internet with people of very diverse background.

I can succinctly answer your questions but if you believe that mainstream economics is somehow "wrong", I cannot make you spend years crunching numbers to see another perspective.

Also, on the personal and ideological level I like what degrowth movement is doing and I wish it all the best — i.e. I really don't want to be overly negative but the economics of this movement simply hasn't been flashed out as a serious alternative.

To give some context here: Communism has been in an oven for hundreds of years and it still not up to par to rotten neoliberal economic model of present day.

I wish I'd have an entertaining read for you to check out which would land well on degrowth theory but at the moment I don't really know where to start. I guess the most fair response would be to link what other economists say about degrowth.

welp, here's what my 2 min googling session resulted in: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-environ-102017-025941#_i12

Highlights:

• There is no empirical evidence of absolute decoupling of throughput from economic growth; sufficient decoupling to stay within environmental limits is logically possible, but physically unlikely.

• Planned degrowth is politically unlikely, given established interests and power relations.

• An authoritarian and more unequal variant of capitalism is likely to emerge after a period of stagnation, unless social forces organize politically to produce more democratic alternatives.

• Capitalism as we know it is incompatible with degrowth.

(!) But there's hope

• Human history offers myriad examples of noncapitalist societies, and of community economies not based on capitalist relations, that have lived well without growth.

So, in my opinion rather than building new economic model from scratch, better to strap elements of degrowth on communist ideas (as its additional selling points).

An economist here. I skimmed through a few sources for this movement and on the surface it looks like economic breatherianism.

I'm not gonna roast it here too much but if you like degrowth, the most productive way for you to get what you want is to learn about and advocate for... communism. It has a lot of overlapping ideas with degrowth and is much more flashed out socially, politically and economically.

P.s. I'm not a tankie and have a lot of unanswered questions about (neo)communism but if pressed to choose between degrowth and the red flag, I'd go with the latter one.

Get better, you beautiful human!

Well, that was a good pilot!

Looking forward to hear from feddit.de to tell their opinion on how likely they are to give up their car if the project continues over long term

Hey peachy, you're far less sexy when you cus, just saying ~~

Sexy, you were great!
