The moment they canceled the Valedictorian speech, I would have simply failed to show up to the commencement. And I would have done my best to surprise USC of it. And I’d have organized or at least hoped other people would do the same thing.
He should required to be up there to answer questions from congress and the Feds.
I wrote a reply to this when I should have been focused on real life deadlines, and Lemmy with its server issues lost it. : (
But I think your question gets at the heart of the question of how these platforms can be used to organize action. Will get back to you some time this week when things have calmed down.
I want them to be a place where we can pull together like minded individuals of Lemmy and perhaps the Fediverse/ActivityPub together about a cause we care about and want to create a movement for. I figure c/movement will be were you can gather those folks c/organize is where you can have discussions and organize to take action. Perhaps there should be an associated matrix or discord channel for the second one.
I’d like both communities to be community owned and community-led. So on big decisions and deciding the guidelines, I’d like the community to call the shots while mods would do the heavy lifting of enforcing those guidelines and organizing things to where the community’s voice can be heard (so for example, after having a discussion about guidelines, consolidating all of that into some sort of vote if there needed to be one on finally voting in the new guidelines).
And the thing is we all have jobs, classes, family or something else entirely having claims to our attention and time, but we shouldn’t give up or give in. Let’s still figure out a way to persevere.
Nope. Just being your dad’s dad.
I don’t know. Would you buy Reddit shares when it IPOs if you saw what the users were doing and how they felt?
thank you. I believe you are correct about edge being the default pdf viewer. Microsoft made edge into a big fat one tool to do everything chrome replacement.
which turned out to be useful on a Macbook, haha. Annotating PDFs with a drawing tool wouldn’t have been a problem on Linux.
So, it gets kind of complicated, but basically I bought the Wacom One to use as a drawing tablet with Windows, Linux, and MacOS for PC/laptop drawing programs like Krita and Corel Painter (Humble Bundle purchase). Also had an iPad Pro that was slightly busted to take notes on PDFs of Powerpoints using GoodReader. Now I can’t remember if I failed to bring it with me or if it wasn’t working, but I only had my MacBook Pro and and the Wacom tablet to take notes with for a couple of months. Apple’s default PDF viewer Preview and even an app I had paid for a long time ago, Clearview, had no drawing annotation capabilities. But Microsoft Edge has a drawing annotation tool for PDFs that even Firefox doesn’t have. I think it comes from Microsoft Edge being the default PDF viewer in Windows.
It was the only way I could annotate PDFs without paying money using a Wacom One Tablet and a stylus in MacOS. That was one useful use.
That’s slavery/indentured servitude forcing someone into a contract. How is that Adam Smith capitalism? It’s just old school wealthy upper class exploiting people.
Here’s a good reason. Since Facebook likes to spy on you, I put Instagram on my work profile on Android, effectively sandboxing it. I’d had the account for several years at this point. Just the other day, it told me that my account had been flagged for violating the rules and trying to access data I wasn’t supposed to have access to. It asked me to upload an image of myself with a code written on a piece of paper to prove I wasn’t a bot, and they still deleted my profile and said I was acting as a bot and that I could not appeal the decision or talk to a human about it.
I agree it’s a bit of a pain to get people to join these nerd apps, but man, it beats dealing with non-interactive bot/algorithm, punishing you for fighting back against having your information stolen.
Would you mate with somebody who didn’t have a chin? Chins are sexy.
