I Made a Chart of U.S.Wealth Inequality and it Sucks
This is a video by the guys behind the Comingle project, which aims to create a platform to allow people to set up a peer-to-peer basic income scheme. However, the video is not about basic income or even the Comingle project, but just an overview of how extreme the wealth distribution in the US really is.
I've seen lots of these U.S. wealth distribution charts, and I already knew it sucks. But it never hit me just how completely out of whack the thing is. Rather than explain a static chart, they actually sourced the data from the federal government and built a dynamic data exploration tool which they then use to demonstrate the sheer scale of the imbalance, with an effectiveness I had not seen before. I just had to share this.
What do you mean? It's right in the lead section:
Even with several details altered, Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema and the horror genre.
Wow, it's the first time I come across anyone who says they use joe. How does it differ from nano and micro?
Btw, I used to use dit several years ago, but swapped it for micro due to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).
Wow, these are really great updates! I especially like the improved UX around sign up and opening links on servers other than our native one.
Hear, hear, brother.
OS: Linux, Arch (btw).
FTFY
Seconded! This is one of the best books I've read in recent years.
Update: the issue has been fixed and the feature is now live on Sync for Lemmy!
When will they learn!
Good bot.
I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).
But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?
IMO both of these ended up being poor names.
"Open source" can be co-opted to mean any project with public source code even if it's not open contribution (think SQLite, and many of the projects effectively run by major tech corporations).
"Free software" falls victim to the eternal mixup with freeware, requiring the endless repetition of the "beer vs. speech" analogy.
I personally think "Libre software" is the term that best encapsulates the intended meaning while being unambiguous and not vulnerable to misinterpretation.
Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?
This comment should be pinned. Are community mods able to do that?
apparently there's meshing between the two fediverse projects, given that they use the same platform.
What are you referring to exactly? Sounds a bit like kbin but I get the sense that's not what you're talking about.
Thanks for putting down my vague impression into clear words. I couldn't agree more!
Uh, yeah, I do use light mode during the day, and dark mode at night. I find it a bit hard to read dark screens in daylight :)
Took me a bit longer, but here it is: https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/242 — it turns out someone had reported this already, so I added a link to this thread there.
Oh wow, I had looked into the settings but somehow I missed the theming options! 🙈
This is the default theme out of the box :)
