Freedom of information is freedom for the most powerful to use that information for their profit. The more powerful you are, the more tools you have to harness common goods for profit.

God forbid a technical person becomes an adult and starts understanding power, money, and politics. Engineers should be babies playing with their toys and being idealistic and irresponsible about their impact on the world.

We don’t need to involve racism, an American pseudo-science, to consider Americans barbarians. That’s what an American would do: to reduce everything about race when it has nothing to do with it.

Also, it’s white guilt, we all know American liberals and leftists enjoy this stuff.

We cut ties with American people because they are annoying, puritanical and self-entitled.

Saying shit like this is very American, for example.

Include anche la lingua inglese. Da adesso su Lemmy si parla solo Italiano.

Met two people from Transnistria, one from the Isle of Man and one from Micronesia. I wouldn’t say they are super rare but I’m quite sure most American would consider these fictional countries.

In Italian it’s not really used. There’s an extremely fringe group of people who use singular pronouns “Io” (I) but plural adjectives and participles. “Io sono andati” instead of “Io sono andato” or “Io sono stanchi” instead of “Io sono stanco”.

These are regarded as people who spend too much time on Tumblr and consume American media even within the most militant corners of the transfeminist movement, so it doesn’t have much traction.

Most of the discourse is about gender-neutral language rather than pronouns.

To add to the confusion, Italian has no neutral gender, only male and female, but it retains neutral pronouns: esso/essi. The problem is that by ending in “o”, most people think this is an alternative masculine pronoun and use it interchangeably with the masculine pronouns “egli” or “lui”.

if you have the right kind of potato, it’s very easy and it takes less time than most handmade pasta

Coolness is the enemy of social relationship. Be cringe and be free.

If you want a sandwich, you have to make it.

I actually teach how to plan, execute, and assess political and social impact, beyond practicing it in my orgs. Are you aware there are plenty of disciplines working exactly on this? Your rethoric is just a way to justify your inaction. If nothing can change, it means you’re exempted from your responsibilities. Too easy.

Everything made by humans can be destroyed by humans. No social system is forever. The rest is just skill issue.

there’s plenty of studies which point to the fact that exposure to media is indeed irrelevant to determine political opinions.

yeah, it’s quite big, because in a way it’s the biggest win so far for the BDS in American tech.

I wrote about this topic too, if you’re interested: https://write.as/conjure-utopia/the-verbose-story-of-how-i-left-the-tech-industry-and-started-washing-miso-jars

I didn’t mention some other systems, but for bigger campaigns ActionNetwork is one of the most used tools and has a lot of integrations, for instance with N8N. I do run some systems with ActionNetwork, mostly for newsletters. The thing of using N8N as a glue layer is that you can integrate with more specialized tools if the need arises, maintaining your custom systems for more niche cases.

You’re focusing too much on the WordPress example. There are a dozen tools mentioned in the article that will clarify what’s possible.
