I meant the second. But as to the first: I generally write in-house software for headless server environments, and my peers are going to push back if I add irrelevant XDG foo to my PR.

The one it comes with. I’m certainly not going to install some Microsoft thing (Now with AI!) that leaks lord know what personal data.
It’s even easier to ignore it altogether, which is what I do. I don’t use “a few” non-XDG-aware things; I use lots an lots of them.
This would just further complicate things for me. It assumes that 1) the system even has a windowing system/desktop environment or 2) all the installed software is XDG-aware. Most of the time I’m fiddling with headless environments.
I have no idea what I just read.
At least Henry Ford understood that you can’t sell cars if workers can’t afford them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fordism

Jill Stein, who Zionists predictably label a “self-hating Jew.”
It somewhat depends. Is it unionized work? Is it hourly or salary? What type of work, and what are the metrics for quality/quantity of output?

Studies show that our opinions don’t matter. BBC, 2014: [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite.
So concludes a recent study, external by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin I Page.
This is not news, you say.
Perhaps, but the two professors have conducted exhaustive research to try to present data-driven support for this conclusion. Here’s how they explain it:
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.
In English: the wealthy few move policy, while the average American has little power.
Money printer go brrr for the military-industrial complex, which uses 0.01% of the money to lobby for more.
It’s a racket.
I just checked, and I used “please” about 30 times in the last year on lemmy.ml. I live in Burgerland.
Some oligarchs are trying to remove Biden, some oligarchs are trying to retain him, and we have virtually no say in the matter, so there’s no point in getting invested in this inter-oligarch drama.
If they’ve been doing this for years, then they must have their reasons for retaining the rights. I would ask them what those reasons are.

I put my capital in those index funds; my bad.
The capitalist class controls the government, so no.
