How else would the mega rich be able to buy up the property and rent out the spaces for normal people to finance?

I'll give some examples of great implementations of socialism that drives welfare in today's democracies, as I personally believe that socialism can't exist without democracy, as it's one of the core values of the concept, that's it's controlled by the people.

One of socialisms ultimate goals are also equality, which my examples will show.

  • Free education
  • UBI if you get fired
  • UBI for old people
  • UBI for students
  • Free health care (duh)
  • Free dental (normally only till age of 18 today)
  • Basic insurance paid by the government

These are just the big ones that really helps to make sure that very few people are actually poor and are getting desperate because of it.

Also, it's always important to say that socialism and capitalism are NOT mutually exclusive. It's perfectly normal to have all these concepts from socialism in a capitalist country.

I think we can agree that a country with 100% capitalism or socialism is not the best way to go.

Socialism is not a 'one thing' . It's a concept as a whole. You can have good or bad socialism and everything in between.

The world is far more nuanced than that.

Americans being afraid of socialism is proof that propaganda works. It's literally for the people.

The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.

They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.

Which means it's working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm not sure about the Galaxy store though, as it's only available on their own hardware.

That's because there's more to the DMA than the 3rd party app stores. It also means that Google/Apple are not allowed to charge their 30% if an app developer uses their own payment platform.

Today a company like Spotify has to pay 30% of its subscription models to Google/Apple, it it's bought through the app - same with Epic if the launched an app store for its games.

This is very predatory and monopolistic behavior, and that's why it's not illegal to do in the EU anymore. And Google opposed this because it was their biggest cash cow on Android.

The title needs to say it's only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.

And for android you'd probably be able to get the APK, but I'm not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.

 

Hi all,

I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and I'm about to do my first setup, but it's a jungle to understand everything as a 'noob'.

My plan is to install the following:

  • Pi-hole
  • Tailscale
  • Traefik

I want to achieve DNS ad blocking and access to all my services on my laptop and phone.

Would these services achieve this? Do they work together? And am I missing something to make it work?

Sorry if this is plain stupid to ask, but I can't seem to find anything where all 3 is used together.

 

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone! There's so much help for me here, and I'll recommend anyone with similar question as me to read the comments

Basically title.

I have the DVDs and I have the hardware to burn them to my PC.

But the file size is too much. What software would be ideal to get the best quality with the lowest file size?

I'm going for file sizes per movie at around 2-3gb max.

 

First of all, L4s (sorry misspelled in titel) is not a real user, so no harm done here.

It's an automatic bot xposting from reddit, making this community just as bad as r/technology, which kind frankly only revolves around politics and social media platforms.

I've had the user blocked 2 weeks now, and this community is muuuuch more enjoyable and is actually about technology now.

Just wanted to share a positive experience.

 

Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi's. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

 

EDIT: Thanks so much guys! This was really helpful, and I didn't imagine so many would help out!

Hey guys,

I've used PiHole for over a year now, and I really like it. I use it with WireGuard, so I always have my DNS blocker with me.

But I've wondered if I even have some good lists? I used some standard lists from a reddit thread when I set up my PiHole, and I've never looked at it since.

So what blocklists do you use? Something you can recommend?

Also, if you use Blocky or AdGuard, do you find it better than PiHole?
