I'm actually interested in how the one child policy was enforced. If any comrades have some reading material about this, I would be grateful!

The idea of redeveloping golf courses into housing is much more mature in Singapore, where the government laid out a plan in 2014 for how it will balance the need for housing with golfing.

The wealthy clans can't live without their golf! This is cultural genocide!

I've been hitting bowls all day. It's a long weekend here. Let's gooooo!

I'm relatively new to this community, but I'm loving it. Everyone is so welcoming and I'm learning so much. Thanks for being so dope everyone! 😎

China seems to be achieving this just fine and without the worker coop part even.

Agreed, but that's not what's being advocated for here.

I agree. Once we have socialism, we can have degrowth. But none of these articles that come out about it are advocating for that. They're advocating that the working class take the hit for climate change via increased unemployment, poverty, and ultimately death.

Degrowth is such a fucking stupid idea. What we need is socialism. The demonic oligarchs that run the world are never going to prioritize reducing climate change. They've made that clear over the last century. There's too much profit to be made.

Worker owned means of production is the only solution. Only then can we direct the productive forces toward solving the most immediate problems that humanity faces. We've created so much productivity, but we need to guide it in the direction of sustainability instead of the profit motive.

The Canadian state is just 3 oligarchs a trenchcoat. It's no different than if it was privatized.

Or South Korea. Libs love talking about how Russia is run by oligarchs, but this topic never seems to come up when they talk about SK.

It can be rewarding. For me, this has a lot to do with team culture. Am I supported and given the time needed to make improvements as I go or am I constantly rushing to make a deadline?

The problem is that only 1 organization that I've worked for has actually tried to implement it correctly. The rest just say "yeah we do Agile SCRUM" but it becomes obvious quite quickly that no they do not. Just because we throw stories on a Jira board every 2 weeks and move them around does not make it SCRUM. I suspect this is partially the reason that some people have a negative view of it. They've only done "SCRUMfall" and assume that's all it really is.

 

So many ghouls.

I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

Lots of big instances have de-federated from Lemmygrad already
