Agree! And if the devs are responsible enough, not only should they guide you but also improve the existing documentation/wikis, because a build issue or a doubt about anything unclear that affects one person who speaks up can potentially be affecting a lot of other people who do not even dare to ask.

If anything like this had happened in my country, it would have backfired very badly in the following elections.

I agree in that the failure to address socio-economic issues by who has been in charge until now fuels the resentment/frustration/urge for “quick and dirty” solutions people are looking for in alt-right parties. Until they realize having been deceived because things change for the worse and, which is more important, the establishment is not going to change.

Same, its existence gives me a little of hope even in the toughest moments. I don’t care if people aren’t always nice/polite, you have to deal with it IRL or on any online platform.

Lemmy has always been a sort of “cure” for me, listening to different people’s opinions and learning something new or a new perspective on things every day.

Remove the “will” and “then” because they are already doing it! 😅

It is a country without future, and there is no hope for the situation to improve any time soon. Extremely low wages, no affordable housing, healthcare unavailable and poor access to education/services in general but high taxation. It would be crazy to expect anyone to plan to have a family!

You’re welcome, help yourself!

And if imported goods have cheap prices due to ignoring labor rights, worker safety and environmental protection it is acceptable… This is hypocrite and really does not deserve further comments.

I don’t think there is a solution for European economy. Better be prepared for the worst rather than living with the illusion that these tricks may work.

It’s not a “fine” but a XIX century protectionistic measure which is unlikely to help anyone (except making people poorer because higher prices mean higher expenditure for consumers). And from here to the next inflation spiral there is just a small step…

Why not everything else too (electronic hardware, toys, clothes, etc…)?

Personally, I would be in favor of having polls because I frequently involve people in taking decisions.

But my use case is quite peculiar because (1) I need to know people’s opinion to take actions based on it, they would not be just informative polls (2) this group of people use Lemmy as their main interaction medium, no other platform is involved.

I’ve resorted to strawpoll in the past or in having comments with multiple options and relying on the most upvoted comment but these solutions have downsides.

Italian here: our “centre right” is actively on restricting abortion, dismantling public healthcare and education, deportation of immigrants, isolation of disabled students, eliminating LGBT rights and militarizing public spaces (with already students/protesters beaten by the police in several occasions) and of course jailing journalists and controlling the public media.

The only thing that sets them apart from their US equivalent is child labor, but they already have prevented the approval of minimum wages and other social safety net measures.

If I were a foreigner, I would boycott everything that comes from this cursed land.

Considering the ageing population and the abstention rate among younger generations, the far right is going to rule for a couple of decades.

There is another one with a person eating a cricket 🦗 against new food regulations but can’t find it rn.

You’re right, my bad! The silver lining is that at least it may induce people to reduce consumption of unhealthy products and prefer quality over quantity.

And not only will prices skyrocket, but also (at least in countries that allow it) agriculture businesses will take public money as restoration for the loss.

I upvoted your comment, because I like the underlying idea that Europe has been “protected” so far because they could not sustain themselves, which is absolutely true. But the previous order collapsing isn’t necessarily bad.

They can still support the US, as all of them have done for the last 79 years and are doing still now.
