And of course you send me the article from a paper that’s the mouthpiece of some US billionaire. Would you take it seriously if a chinese paper said the US ‘secret police’ is disappearing people? They are going to paint the worse possible picture since they are rivals.


Democracy broadly refers to a system of government where ultimate power rests with the people. I don’t believe it’s solely about voting; rather, it’s about whether people perceive that they are being represented by the government.


But I’m asking about real examples not made up ones. And if you are referring to secret services all countries have those.


Is it really a democracy when people want something, sign a petition and get dismissed?


The Jedi are nothing more than the lapdogs of the Senate, serving as the enforcers of a corrupt and decadent Republic. They reside in a literal ivory tower within the heart of the capital, Coruscant, a city consumed by greed and political intrigue. Their supposed wisdom and connection to the Force are mere facades, masking their complicity in maintaining the status quo of a failing system. They mouth platitudes about peace and justice while being manipulated by the very politicians they are supposed to protect. Their arrogance and detachment from the common people make them oblivious to the true nature of the galaxy they claim to safeguard. In reality, they are more concerned with preserving their own power and prestige than with genuinely serving the greater good.

I wish it had been like that but changing it at this point would break too many links.

I don’t really understand what you mean, but this gave me an idea. I can save the version of the software to a file after applying the patch, and then set up a cron job to check if the new software has a different version. If it does, the cron job will apply the patch and update the file with the new version.

Great work! I believe my favorite is url blocking. Is that like community and instance blocking? If I don’t want to see posts with links from a domain, can I block them? My biggest issue with Lemmy is that I only see memes and US news. So, anything that lets me see other content without having to block many communities would be nice.

If you are going to use a modal editor like vim you should probably learn touch typing with the US layout.
