2·6 days agoI think you’re probably right, but I do worry about any violence that would ensue . . .

EDIT: But now I’m finally going to get around to asking this: do any of you, living in the US, vote?
Would you ever consider voting DSA/Socially democratic, even if your views are to the left of them and you are anti-capitalist? What if voting for the PSL is not an option where you are? Would you ever vote for someone like Trump just to make things intentionally worse in the hopes of sparking off a revolution? Not sure if I will ever vote again at this point…
Can the IMDb be scraped? Not necessarily for the reviews, but for the titles, actors, and so forth. Kind of wish Anna’s Archive had done that instead of Spotify.
Alas yes. 🙁
There’s an invidious-type equivalent for imdb, libremd, but it unfortunately tends to break and may not have been updated in a while.
EDIT: You can try and see if there are any instances of it that still work.
EDIT EDIT: Couldn’t get a single instance to work. I think the project might need someone new to take it over.

4·11 days ago@yogthos@lemmy.ml, since you’re our resident China expert, I thought I’d ask: do you know if any of the PRC’s companies are working on (or have even already solved!) the “plastics problem?” With regard to pollution, recycling, etc. I do remember their National Sword policy…🤔

(I’m open to criticism of this list, if anyone has any issues with any of the periodicals here. TTBOMK they’ve been pretty good, and I usually check them once a day or so).
Intentionally bad or unintentionally bad?

Technology@lemmy.ml•The Electronic Frontier Foundation is Leaving X (Twitter)English
4·1 month agoIt’s true that some people really do have to be on Facebook/Xwitter for work, but in that case I’ve always suggested that they also make a Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed account and let people know about it (“why not join me on …”) and try to use the two (or more) side by side. Hopefully that will make the people they interact with realize that there are in fact good alternatives, and perhaps get them to join as well, further increasing the size of the Fediverse🌈.

For the most part, I think, yes. However, there was a compromise between the English and the French living there, IIRC, instead of a war.
