Yes, that is the difference between those that are revolutionaries instead of reformists.

A revolutionary is a person who either participates in, or advocates for, a revolution. The term revolutionary can also be used as an adjective to describe something producing a major and sudden impact on society.

Reformism is a political tendency advocating the reform of an existing system or institution – often a political or religious establishment – as opposed to its abolition and replacement via revolution.

Tribalism, it comes down to if you’re with our group, you must hate the other group.

This kind of thinking helps keep the working class divided and fighting over scraps while the owner class continues to rake in all the important resources.

George Carlin, comedian, has spoken about this:

“Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.”

Edit: added Syria, so as to be more detailed on topic being discussed

The Harris campaign finished out the race with at least $20 million in debt, two sources familiar told Politico’s Christopher Cadelago, who wrote on X Wednesday night that of the $1 billion Harris had raised, only $118 million remained in cash as of October 16.

“We spent money in stupid ways because we had a really bad strategy,” a former consultant to the DNC told Puck’s Tara Palmeri. He cited money sent to fund Representative Colin Allred’s failed challenge against Texas Senator Ted Cruz, as well as money directed to help in Iowa, a state Democrats never, ever win.

Inside Harris’s crumbled campaign, some feel that they were misled about her chances, and led to believe it would be a margin-of-error race. In reality, Trump blew apart Harris’s play for the blue wall states and beat her by more than four million votes.

Harris’s campaign budget was closely guarded by campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, so it’s unclear exactly how funds were allocated. An official for the DNC said that the majority of campaign spending was toward major events, paid media, and Harris’s supposedly expansive ground game—one that ultimately didn’t drum up that many votes at all.

What’s clear is that Harris ran a very expensive campaign, one that dwarfed Donald Trump’s efforts. The campaign spent an average of $7.5 million a day in August, in comparison to the $2.7 million that Trump spent. In September, the Harris campaign spent $152 million on advertising, more than double the $63 million that Trump shelled out.

Unfortunately for Harris, dollars didn’t seem to translate into votes. And even after Harris lost, her campaign is still sending out slates of fundraising requests.

There are many great competitions where previous programming experience would come in handy.

One competition that takes place in the U.S.:

NASA Student Launch

It actually IS rocket science! Student Launch is a 9-month long challenge that tasks student teams from across the U.S. to design, build, test, and launch a high-powered rocket carrying a scientific or engineering payload. It is a hands-on, research-based, engineering activity and culminates each year with a final launch in Huntsville, Alabama home of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The activity offers multiple challenges reaching a broad audience colleges and universities as well as middle and high school aged students across the nation.^[1]

Culminating Event Dates: April 30 – May 4, 2025

Culminating event location: Huntsville, AL

Eligibility: Open to U.S. Students

Grade Levels: Grades 6-12, College and University

TIL.

Thanks for sharing!

Edit: added quote below

By design, WebExtensions is more limited than the promiscuous extension mechanism. By design, it also works better. Most of the Firefox development tax has disappeared, as only the WebExtensions API needs to be protected, rather than the entire code of Firefox. Most of the maintenance tax has disappeared, as the WebExtensions API are stable (there have unfortunately been a few exceptions). It is also much simpler to use, lets add-on developers share code between Firefox and Chromium add-ons and should eventually make it easier to write extensions that work flawlessly on Desktop and Mobile.

The gags of dissonance echo as they preach

“‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to [guitarist] Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said, ‘yup, that’s it.’ Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons’ waste, eat each other, or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.” – Phil Bozeman^[1]

You should see what happens when political tribalism takes place in the United States.

Strong emotions and financial strain with the working class at an all-time high, disdain towards other groups, and fights break out.

Assassination attempts and murder of activists and politicians due to disagreements.

I think it goes back to dividing the working class and keeping us entertained so we don’t pay attention to the status quo.

Wrong question and framing.

Israel’s goal is not to get rid of Hamas or their leadership.

Their real goal has been to continue the genocide of the Palestinian people so as to take 100% control of the Palestinian land and to kickout the natives.

Amid a growing partnership between China and Russia, Mandarin has been growing in popularity across Russia as a foreign language of choice, a trend Putin said was due to developing contacts across economics, politics and society.

Putin, who speaks fluent German but has also taken lessons to improve his English, said that pupils should not forget the importance of English.

Russian, English, Tatar, German and Chechen are the most widely spoken languages in Russia, according to the 2022 census. While Mandarin is spoken far less, it has been growing swiftly in popularity in recent years as a foreign language.

English is the world’s most spoken language with about 1.5 billion speakers, followed by Mandarin Chinese with about 1.1 billion speakers, and then Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian and Urdu, according to Ethnologue, a language research centre.

Great analogy!

Thanks for taking the time to explain it in such a way!

IIRC: Data has not been overwritten yet; it is just shown to be open to being rewritten.

It can still be recovered with minimal corruption if the device was not used too much, where open storage would be eriten over.

It would depend on the type of necromancy, but at the end of the day, I think it would still be a conflict of interest since the person bringing them back would have great say, unless they are considered some type of expert witness necromancer.

Necromancy is the practice of magic involving communication with the dead by summoning their spirits as apparitions or visions for the purpose of divination; imparting the means to foretell future events and discover hidden knowledge.

The necromancer’s capacity to create minions and command them to fight for him or her is generally enough to satisfy even the most critical of viewers. As necromancers might easily be termed one-person armies, they are usually compelling and feared. The fact that they dabble in magic and the supernatural does not help their image as upstanding citizens.

Not thay weird, they most were politicians.

Blue collar vs white collar crime.

It is well done.

I’ve been mapping in OSM for a year ish now off and on.

Awesome, props to you!

I was surprised that I only found three communities.

Communities:

1. !openstreetmap_ca@lemmy.ca | https://lemmy.world/c/openstreetmap_ca@lemmy.ca
2. !osmand@lemmy.ml | https://lemmy.world/c/osmand@lemmy.ml
3. !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml | https://lemmy.world/c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Summary

1. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a citizen-generated mapping platform that allows individuals to contribute geographic information.
2. OSM contrasts with commercial mapping services like Google Maps, which restrict access to their raw data.
3. The platform emerged from the need for open-license map data, with volunteers mapping areas using GPS units.
4. OSM has significant detail in places like London, but global coverage can be uneven.
5. Humanitarian efforts have utilized OSM, especially during crises such as the Haiti earthquake, where volunteers mapped affected areas for relief efforts.
6. OSM mapping helped organizations correlate patient origins with specific neighborhoods to address medical needs.
7. The platform continues to be used in various humanitarian crises, promoting on-the-ground surveys and local community involvement.
8. Monthly mapathons in cities like London engage volunteers in tracking satellite imagery to enhance mapping efforts.
9. OSM provides a valuable resource for developers and businesses, fostering opportunities in organizing and presenting open data.
10. The platform encourages the sharing of open data rather than hindering access to information.
