Maybe lemmy will grow over time to include more types of people.

Social unrest may evolve this network faster than expected, in particular ways that are not foreseen. So, in my mind there are two paths for lemmy. A stable growth or chaotic .

Edit : unrest in any country that has a lot of lemmy users if alternative social networks clamp down or are unsafe to use

For a supposedly gun infested and ultra violent country, there is an eerie calm lasting for decades.

Most probably this was a one time thing?

Spiders and programmers both need bugs to be able to eat

A successful alt would need a high level of traffic, or posting many new things a day. Some have one, some have the other.

Would be delighted to find one

There is a not a really good alt yet, but I personally have it blocked due to other issues

Perspective can definitely change when one experiences needless suffering or death, or watches a loved one go through that

I spent a lot of time using msdn Microsoft docs for windows and activex c++ back in the day. Faintly envious there are videos in the c# docs.

I changed tech stacks, but comments and examples are awesome to use inside docs. Usually in the php, it’s the comments in the docs that are the best help, and example code and work around can be found there.

But most php depends on the tens of thousands of projects and libraries made others: so the docs one needs is scattered in the dependencies. Some who have good docs (laravel) and some that have no docs , in which case a debugger is best way to learn.

Technically this bill is not trying. It’s grifting.

The only point of her making this bill is to help her fund raisers later.

There are many people trying

A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.

This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.

Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.

The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly

Pretty words. Will never be implemented. Why was it not introduced when it had a chance to pass? Or at least invoke more talk?

As it is now, hardly anyone will hear of it and it will be forgotten soon, except as a sound bite promoting fund drives.

Huge boost for working people. People were able to negotiate for better pay, and travel to another employer if the pay was too low.

It was a social revolution for the survivors.

But it was more like a 50 to 60% reduction in supply. That Black Death did not mess around
