Why do you feel this way? The examples of polygamy that I can think of were popularized through religion not in spite of it.

Examples: Islam, Mormonism,

early Judaism and to some degree Christianity permitted it as well.

Yes.. Please reread my last comment more slowly.. particularly the first two paragraphs.

My impression is that Germany is considered a social democracy. Maybe it is towards the milder end of the spectrum but still fits the definition.

As an outsider I think Germany has got a lot of things right, and found a good balance. Not perfect, but good.

It is, the term for this type of system is called Social Democracy which is not a synonym for socialism, but people (Americans at least) confused and conflate the two terms to the point that they’ve become one and the same in the minds of many people who don’t really understand the terms or their origins.

That is objectively not socialism (any definition of socialism that begins by defining it as a form of capitalism is fundamentally confused)

That said, I’d agree that it is a widespread misunderstanding today. And what people mean when they say socialism is usually actually social democracy (which despite sounding like the word socialism is a mixed system based on capitalism)

Using that misunderstanding as the definition I would definitely live in many of those countries. Many have some of the highest qualities of life in the world, low rates of poverty, universal access to good healthcare and education, and good social mobility.

E.g Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Germany

Define socialism. The original and technically correct definition and the colloquial modern definition are wildly different from one another.

With the exception of a fingerprint reader (which does not have a working Linux driver) I have had an exceptional experience over the last 5 years with Linux (Both Fedora, Ubuntu Gnome and Ubuntu Budgie) and a Dell XPS 9380

Credit scores need to go away too, but if you are unironically comparing a credit score with what China is doing, you are either extremely naive or extremely biased.

Not for long. Netflix recently changed their rules so that regardless of the number of screens you pay for you they are going to start enforcing that you all primarily live and access netflix from the same household

Yes.

Can you elaborate? What is the difference cloud support app and what specifically is the issue?

I think it hasn’t ‘happened’ or ‘not happened’, I think it began losing its way and losing its identity years ago, but I think what we have seen recently is a big acceleration of that process, and for many the straw that broke the camels back was the recent changes and toxic behavior of the ceo and pr team

I agree that saying ‘risks losing its identity’ makes it sound like it is hypothetical and in the future which is not accurate.

For me personally, it is a ‘wait and see’ situation.

I’m giving Lemmy a fair shot, and expect rough edges and limited features because of its newness and design model. But it has a long way to go in terms of ironing out the wrinkles adding features, and most of all improving privacy, security, and the underlying system. There is a lot that still needs to be figured out and thought through.

It feels great to be using a federated, open, user respecting, not solely profit driven platform, but we’ve still got a long way to go in terms of privacy and security and such.

There is a tool called power delete suite that can auto edit or auto delete all or some of your Reddit content

You can just disable it in settings, fairly easily. This is preferable to searching for an obscure fork of brave (for me personally).

If you use Newpipe (a YouTube 3rd party app for android) you can use it to interface with peer tube as well in a way that is somewhat* seamless.

Most of the people I follow are on YouTube, a few cross post to peer tube as well. Having one app that integrates both lets me use peertube where I can and YouTube the other 90% of the time
