Even playing that way, monopoly is still a single-winner game of course, which is what elizabeth magie wanted to demonstrate.
Another other unintended lesson is that ruthless profit-seeking hacks will enclose / steal any idea or invention, reinvent it, and claim it as their own. It was and remains a model for silicon valley.

There is no reason to do any of that. No one forced signal to use phone numbers as their primary identifier, and plenty of privacy oriented chat programs don't require that.

I'm sot trusting anything from signal themselves, just like I wouldn't trust anything apple, microsoft, google, or any other US-based company with centralized services says about themselves.

Yep this has been a growing problem, with ppl using various alt accounts on different servers to downvote things. Usually it's pretty obvious because these accounts are all from the same servers, and have little or no comments or posts.
With that setting you can be sure that all the votes at least are coming from your local users, keeping vote anonymity, and without disconnecting from the bigger servers.
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program. ## sunaurus - [Always save remote image data](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4875) ## netbrum - [Replace `clippy::unwrap_used` in tests](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5064) ## dullbananas - [Apply scheduled post limit to future posts instead of past posts, and verify this in test](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5054) ## N4taaa - [UX - Swap "Select Language" and "Cancel/Preview/Reply" button locations around in commentsReverse order of buttons in Reply TextArea](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2730) ## matc-pub - [SortType, Tagline, Emojis](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2718) - [Fix date-fns dynamic import](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2716) ## SleeplessOne1917 - [Add skip_serialize_none to OAuth structs with option fields](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5046) - [Fix jump to content](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2729) ## Nutomic - [Resolve links to remote posts into local URL](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057) - [Attempt to fix test for fetching deeply nested comment](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5072) - [Avoid stack overflow when fetching nested comments, reduce max comment depth to 50](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5009) - [Handle partial settings backup (fixes #4307)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5063) - [Avoid breaking changes, keep response fields as deprecated](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5058) - [Replace clippy allow annotation with expect (fixes #5012)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5048) - [Cleanup remaining use of Result<bool, Error> (fixes #4862)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5047) - [Post scheduling (fixes #234)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5025) - [Conditionally hide comments on nsfw posts (fixes #4237)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5028) - [Simplify handling of NotFound SQL errors (fixes #4633)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5031) - [Post scheduling](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2693) ## dessalines - [Adding a get_random_community endpoint.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5042) - [Adding local site settings to reject federated upvotes or downvotes.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5038) - [Add modlog entries for bulk removals.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5050) - [Adding skip_serializing_none to another OAuth API request.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5060) - [Removing a few more Result\<Bool\>.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4977) - [Add ability to search for Community by its description (or title only).](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5044) - [Remove redundant local_user.auto_expand setting.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5041) - [Adding saved_only, liked_only, and disliked_only filters to search.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5034) - [Get rid of a lot of pointless mut form initializations.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5037) - [Fixing titleOnly, PostSort, and CommentSort.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2715) - [Updating git cliff.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2719) ### Support development @dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more.

A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.

Capitalism is not a tool that pays for social services. Its a system that allows private individuals to own the means of production (and along with those, the political systems, laws, and media of their domiciled countries) with the goal of extracting a profit from the sale of commodities produced by wage workers they employ.
Capitalists only apportion some of the surplus value stolen from workers to public services, when forced to by political agitation from below.
These proposals for ranked choice voting are a dead-end, because they already exist in many capitalist countries, and it doesn't fix anything. They just stack any number of candidates they like, and have their media push the most friendly ones.
If you allow capitalists to own production, then the political system will always be subservient to them, and be nothing but puppets to serve their interests. Anyways here's some more resources:

That got added recently, but you still need a phone number to sign up. A phone number is tied to your identity, meaning that signal's database has the names and addresses of everyone who uses it. And since signal is US-based, its subject to US national security letters, meaning its illegal for signal to tell anyone that the US government has requested information about who they're talking to.
Under the Obama administration, an average of 60 NSLs were issued every single day.

Nato doesn't kill people, doesn't attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn't redraw state lines.
NATO killed thousands of people, redrew state lines, and overthrew several governments, in yugoslavia, libya, afghanistan, and north africa.
It's main enemies (and those of it's member countries) are the anti-colonialist movement:

Almost all those can be self-hosted, and built from source, so matrix, xmpp, simplex, are fine. Don't use anything that's uses a centralized server in a five eyes country, like signal or threema.

Alternative voting systems haven't proven to be even the slightest obstacle to capitalist rule. Japan and Australia have alternative voting systems, and they're still on the same far right path, still evict indigenous peoples, and still act as US military bases.

The complete opposite.
We all know how awful most modern websites are in terms of bloat, javascript and tracking. Not only that, but designing and maintaining web-browsers has become such a gigantic undertaking (almost the size of an operating system), that only a few companies have the resources to do it (google and mozilla, and mozilla might not hold on for much longer). These alternative protocols offer a minimal set of features, and are trying to get back to what the web should've been: static content with images, text, and links, with local applications filling the void for anything more complicated than that. Lets say I wanted a privacy-friendly way to view a page on a news site. I could: - Copy the URL of the page - Open some tool, (or website, anything), paste that url. - It converts the content in the url to the necessary privacy-friendly alternative format, and I can view it with my gopher/gemini browser (or even maybe a markdown viewer). I know there are a few html -> markdown converters that can do the last step. Does anyone know if this would work?
Here is an update that explains what we have been working on recently (apologies for not having these for a few months, summer vacations and all that). This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program. @privacyguard added [Single-Sign-On (SSO) support to lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4881) (this still needs some UI work and testing, but the bulk of the work is done). Special thanks to [Privacy Portal](http://privacyportal.org) for working on this! @carlos-cabello added a [way to filter posts by title only (and not body) when searching.](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5015) @Freakazoid182 added [custom emoji and tagline views](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4580). @nothing4u [made our scheduled cleanup job delete denied users](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4907). @sunaurus made a few [image proxy fixes](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4871). @sleepless has been working hard on [lemmy-ui-leptos](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos), which may eventually replace lemmy-ui. He made [improvements to how posts are displayed](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos/pull/135); made [SI formatting](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos/pull/124) consistent with how the current UI handles it; added [translations](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos/pull/114); added [post content actions, creator, and community listings](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos/pull/107); and made some [plugins for `markdown-it`](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-markdown-it-plugins). @nutomic cleaned up the issue tracker by closing invalid issues and adding tags like [good first issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/labels/extra%3A%20good%20first%20issue). He also made some simple improvements, like [adding a category to RSS feeds](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5030), [fixing an issue with activitypub ids](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5022), and removing the [enable_nsfw setting](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5017) in favor of `content_warning`. @dessalines integrated [a new rust clearurls library into lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5018) that will remove tracking params for any post or comment text (Much thanks to @jendrikw for creating this library), [increased the bio max length from 300 to 1000](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5014), [removes lemmy's reliance on openssl](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4976), [made the list logins response more uniform](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4888), added the [ability to restore content on an unban](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4845), added a [default comment sort type for both the local site, and your user](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4469). ### Support development @dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more.
