  • I guess crime exists due to two reasons:

    • poverty exists. as long as poverty exists, people seek a way out.
    • organized crime exists. it draws people in.

    So, pacifying the country needs a two-sided approach. On the one side, you must show people how to live a good life without being reliant on crime for basic necessities. People must be able to support themselves without falling back on criminal organizations.

    On the other hand, probably the bigger issue, is that these crime organizations have a lot of money, and demand for labour-force. that means that they actively recruit new people, and draw people in. organized crime mostly exists because there’s too much money being made on the black market by selling/trafficking drugs. So I guess that it would make sense to legalize drugs (at least to a certain extent), because every $1 spent legally when buying drugs is a $1 you take away from the black market, and therefore crime organizations.


  • without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there’s a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

    and there’s a lot of bad articles being written because there’s a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it’s advertising’s fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it’s mostly google’s fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

    do those orbits get larger over time?

    Yes, I think they do.

    I think that expansion doesn’t increase distance, but velocity between objects (or so was my interpretation back when I looked at the formulas). That means that moving objects speed up over time. As such, orbital velocities increase, too, and that lifts their orbit - similar to when a rocket on a closed orbit propulses forward.

    But I might be wrong; I feel 70% certain about this one.






  • I wonder whether it was the right decision to not federate with Threads.

    On the one hand, yes, they would have caused a lot of problematic content, but on the other hand, it would have meant a lot of new users, and that would have livened up the place a bit. I guess.

    Maybe we could do a switch in the user profile for Lemmy where it says “show Thread posts in All posts”. Or something.
