This is what western social democracy looks like in practice.

Researchers have argued that wealthy nations rely on a large net appropriation of labour and resources from the rest of the world through unequal exchange in international trade and global commodity chains. Here we assess this empirically by measuring flows of embodied labour in the world economy from 1995–2021, accounting for skill levels, sectors and wages. We find that, in 2021, the economies of the global North net-appropriated 826 billion hours of embodied labour from the global South, across all skill levels and sectors. The wage value of this net-appropriated labour was equivalent to €16.9 trillion in Northern prices, accounting for skill level. This appropriation roughly doubles the labour that is available for Northern consumption but drains the South of productive capacity that could be used instead for local human needs and development. Unequal exchange is understood to be driven in part by systematic wage inequalities. We find Southern wages are 87–95% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill. While Southern workers contribute 90% of the labour that powers the world economy, they receive only 21% of global income.

@samuel @konstellationen kan vara bra att veta att en del program är gjorda i Godot också, så man behöver inte bara göra spel. Veles är ett exempel… https://github.com/LyffLyff/Veles?tab=readme-ov-file

More than taxing the rich because the top 10% of the world‘s population includes most of the developed world.

We need to restructure how we live.

The largest factor is agriculture. The next largest factor is our urban land use patterns..

We need to re-localize our economies remove the need for cars to go about most of our daily activities and re-localize our farming as well as restoring our watersheds and regional ecology.

The global economy is climate change.

When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary.

@EUCommission and how much does every 1€ invested in fossil fuel subsidies cost by 2045? Have you made those calculations?

@pixelfed I might have missed an announcement but are they still stuck at 2MP?

@sinbad @KeefJudge I used to have access (cost about 1000€ per year) and you always got a reply from an Epic employee with a workaround or a bug report within a week or so, so I guess opening that up would make it not that different from the regular Unreal forums (which granted, were a UX nightmare last time I checked).

@nazokiyoubinbou @djlink wait, didn’t Philips sell off all manufacturing and basically only license out their brand these days? Swear I saw something to that effect. Besides… they could just build their products to last longer in the first place. 😉

Screenshots for ReadySoft’s ambitious 1993 #Amiga/#PC RPG The King's Ransom have been unearthed and added to the site! A spiritual sequel to Wrath of the Demon boasting 2500+ animation frames, 150 locations + a movie-like soundtrack - it just vanished.

@kaasbaas wow, I’ll make an exception to my no memes policy for this one! 😄👍

Yup

they want you to believe capitalism improves things (because competition).

The truth is it's a race to the bottom, to see who can squeeze out the most profits - ususally by cutting the most costs

Updated my #iPhone and why the heck did my return key disappear in #mastodon??? We can type quite long toots here and it’s nice to break them up… 😡 EDIT: I guess @tootapp needs to be updated but it hasn’t received an update in a long time…
