Nurses went on strike.

Then graduate students.

Then school teachers.

Now it’s hotel employees, writers, and actors.

UPS drivers and auto workers may be next.

Many strikes, similar story:

Workers are sick and tired of billionaires and corporations hoarding wealth and power.

Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s no a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.

@joeycastillo its inevitable humanity will split in the future, those that believe in in biological, cybernetic, and full upload virtual abstraction technology, i think maybe 1000 years from now? The reason humanity will split is because of different values. Likely these same humans will go to war against each other or at least dont trust each other very much. Seems baked into our nature to stamp out the other.

Found time to work on this again: a new conversation view using one webview. Current code uses a webview per message.

Geary 44 has just been released, I hope to finish this for Geary 45.

This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

Love their "Corporate greed life cycle" image. We've all been through this cycle with tech companies that used to offer really cool products.

we now have flatpak builds (CI) for both x86 & ARM!!

@tbernard could the network manager GUI "nm-connection-editor" be part of Gnome Core and revamp? Certain VPN settings cannot be performed with Gnome-Settings, have been finding that i use that tool quite a bit over the last two years. Or generally have a section of core apps addressing configuration and more advanced settings.

We're trying to get as many core apps as possible updated to the new Libadwaita widgets for 45 (ToolbarView, NavigationView, SplitView)!

This is the initiative issue, help on any of the missing apps would be appreciated: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiat

13.000 cyclists demonstrated against #Berlin new conservative senator’s decision to stop (and potentially scrap) ongoing infrastructure changes that would have improved the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and contributed to reaching environmental targets.

13.000 people.
7km of streets continuously filled with cyclists.
And you barely hear about it in the news.

13.000 is a big number.
Imagine 13.000 SUVs with a flat tire: would we hear more about it in the news?

Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when the richest 20% of American households get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?
