Seriously, if you are still using Meta sites at this point, you gave no one to blame but your self. Their terrible treatment of employees and users isn't exactly a secret.
Leave Facebook and move grandma to something else as well.
Your argument assumes the Trump admin wants to actually help the citizens it is supposed to represent. They do not care about most citizens, their words and actions have proven this over and over again.
This admin absolutely will never take any steps towards transparency, education, sharing, or even simple kindness. Any hope of implementing something like this will have to come later.
Church groups, or at least an awful lot of them, were co-opted by groups like the Council For National Policy (parent group of the Heritage Foundation). I think a lot of younger folks see through the BS and don't want to send their time listening to hate speech discussed as gospel.
These churches chose thier path, and so did their parishioners.
I'm not sure it really matters if the senate still exists. the money men will just move the bribes to the senators. winning a senate seat would mean you are a millionaire at minimum.
Better search could solve this I think. If packages could be automatically, semantically grouped and made searchable, then there would be a lot less packages. a lot of times is simply faster to remake that to search for something appropriate. I don't think RAG is the right answer, it needs to be more capable than that. i don't know quite what that would look like.
I would love to be able to filter out low effort, bad docs, no tests, no recent contributions and and more after typing a semantic query for a library to use.
You are right. So many parts of are system were designed for minority rule and haven't been changed in 250 years. The senate, fptp voting, no voting holidays, the electoral college and more. the wealthyvhave always and will always try to by pass democracy.
make no mistake, the people behind this play the long game. the council for national policy has been working hard towards these goals since the 60s. the people who want to rule, do not want to deal with democracy. they do not want to ask permission.
Cloudflare makes it really hard to spend money. I constantly have to talk to someone in sales to enable some feature after rounds of negotiating on price. I think they would have way more customers, spending much more money, if they just offered transparent pricing, and fully on-demand services.
The elected reps are captured by business interests. Citizens united means the best marketing team wins every election. The reps do not work for citizens, why would they? Voting has been nullified, democracy is dead.
Capitalism is working as designed, all the money flows up.
The rule of law is not working as designed. The rich have clearly different rules than everyone else.
