  • I use Voyager. Lockout specs for me when selecting an app were ability to apply a custom tag to users, and firmly holding my default view/sort settings.

    I started on Boost for Lemmy after using Boost for Reddit. But I was having some issues with it and it’s not actively updated anymore. Not sure if the creator is done with the project or just busy with something else, but I just checked and it still shows the last app update was in July 2024.




  • As my mom was becoming an adult, women in my country still couldn’t have their own bank accounts nor could they vote. So how much choice did she have? She could stay under her abusive father’s control, or roll the dice on marrying a guy who had minimal red flags. They’re fine, they had kids and are still married decades later. But I can’t really say she was able to freely choose.

    I am mixed on how they did as parents. I have no doubt they mostly did what they thought was the right thing. I just strongly disagree with them on some things they believed to be right. Like I wasn’t given certain vaccines as a kid, not because my parents thought they would cause autism, but because my parents thought Hep C would only be caught by drug users and sexually promiscuous people. And their kids would never.


  • What you’re missing is full brainwashing from the patriarchy, from the bootlicking capitalists.

    Any partner who can but doesn’t support their partner and newborn is an ass.

    Any partner who can but doesn’t take advantage of the leave benefit they earned is giving free money to their employer overlords like an absolute cuck.

    Be revolutionary, put your family over your employer.



  • Very directly. My company just had layoffs as a direct result of Trump. The company has contracts with the government and Trump cancelled many of them. The Legal team is also trying to figure out if the company will be paid for some work that was already completed.

    The tarrifs and threat of tariffs and general chaotic instability Trump is driving around tarrifs is already affecting our supply chain and pricing. We try to make long-term agreements with suppliers instead of doing spot buys, and they are working assumptions of even more tarrifs into their pricing as a buffer.




  • Murdering murderers makes one a murderer. If one is going to ignore any context and mitigating factors, no, murdering murderers does not result in net good.

    E.g., people who have killed in self defense have been tagged as murderers. Murdering them is not at all a good thing (in my moral framework, at least).

    E.g. #2, murdering one person for Reasons does not necessarily mean a murderer is going to murder again. So murdering them adds to the overall murder tally without necessarily preventing any additional murders.

    There has to be some element of preventing future murders, not just retribution of past murders, for this to even be a debate, IMO. And then there’s the bar of simply locking them up being insufficient to prevent them murdering in the future.
