Cut-throat business practices couched in the language of “freedom to choose”. Let me retire on a good pension at 60 like my grandparents all did.
The world is supposed to be getting better not worse. If i want something “to do with my time” when I’m in my 60s and 70s (if I’m even lucky enough to live that long: many aren’t, and never get to stop working) I want to help out at a local social club or volunteer for a charity, not get paid a pittance to greet customers until my hips collapse.
I'm saying that the US State Department-funded ASPI report and a rehashed column from a Hindu nationalist newspaper that barely qualifies as journalism are poor sources on this subject: neither provide any credible information on this subject.
ASPI is literally a US State Department-funded front group to publish anti-China propaganda.
The report it put out contains very little evidence of anything not widely reported elsewhere.
This second hand account from the Sunday Guardian (barely a newspaper, owned and run by a Hindu Nationalist politician) contains distortions/misunderstandings of an already threadbare report.
I don’t know why this is on HN. Its literally just propaganda. Share something from reputable sources.
Great proposal, but Temporal is a poor name. Why not, in the age of the import keyword, finally just have a standard library, and import Date from std like a proper programming language?
Lemmy looks great. The codebase is really nicely done. They really need serverside rendering though. I started working on a PR a few weeks back but it's a huge undertaking. Also it needs non-websocket support. I really hope it takes off though.
Proper deep-dives into things with long-form content are great. I'll happily watch a 50 minute documentary by History Time, or a 2 hour deconstruction of tropes in 90s crpgs by Chris Davis. For me (and I know I speak entirely subjectively), anything less than half an hour on a subject tends to be just skimming the surface. I'm happy with the way youtube is moving towards longer form essay style content in gaming, music criticism, history, literature theories, science, geopolitics, programming and the like. Often, I wish channels like for example Caspian Report did _longer_ videos on the subjects they handle, because although people have short attention span, I think 10 minutes isn't enough time to properly talk about the politics of the countries they cover.
5 minute videos of disposable entertainment just don't really do it for me.
