For those who missed it, don’t they generally have a second chance exchange a bit later in the year?
They do, and there are many similar events throughout the year that aren’t Giftmas related, like “math trades”, etc., so there’s something for everyone! 🤓

I pity the poor girl that got her image used by whoever did that. Nothing shakes the feeling that was a smear campaign against her.

Lots of good stuff in that essay, but this bit here really jumpd out:
It is why, historically, the first pass at producing a political philosophy – whether it be in Plato or Confucius – came back with the same idea, that the law should be used to enforce morality and promote social cohesion, by rewarding the virtuous and punishing the wicked.
Furthermore, there are many small-scale societies in which this basic approach is quite successful. Unfortunately, there’s a reason that we talk about small close-knit communities, where everyone pitches in to help one another out; it’s that there are no big communities in which these norms prevail. That’s because these high-trust social formations are not scalable. The only way to extend the cooperative system to include more people, once it reaches a certain size, is to introduce formal authority, hierarchy, written laws, and specialized enforcement (i.e. the state). This leads immediately to the “good king” problem, which is that the system works well enough if those who occupy the new positions of authority happen to be motivated to promote the public good, but it can become calamitously bad when they are not.
The above is why I think one of the main notions of Distributism [1] makes sense; that the smallest unit capable of organizing and governing each part of society should be the goal. We are constantly moving in the opposite direction to where those making the decisions are far removed from both the particular situation and the people involved! For an easy example, consider our GTO and 'Greater Vancouver' and other mega-merging things.

@gemlog Prof. Heath has a lot of good sense, as well as familiarity with academic literature. I recommend his essays. I've also read one of his books, *Filthy Lucre*, and I've been looking around the house for it recently.

No, that's not quite all I'm saying. What I'm saying:
1) There are a lot of white women voters
2) The majority of them choose Trump or his chosen candidate
3) It's not because "men make them do it!🤡" Unless you believe that men force them to vote while forgetting to vote themselves.
4) if you add up every Trump vote by every Black, Asian, and Hispanic person of every gender combined... It would not equal the number of Trump votes that white women produce. White women are 50% of the political engine behind US fascism. They choose to do this, just as men do.
If y'all didn't like me pointing out that in Florida, *more* white women than white men voted for Trump's candidate...
Then y'all really aren't going to like me pointing out that in Texas, *more* white women than white men voted for Trump's boy Paxton over Talarico.
No other group does that.🤷🏿♂️
For every 100 white votes that Paxton got,
~49 came from white men
~51 came from white women
But the dudes that hop online to talk disrespectfully about Black women in Harris County, and to curse out Jasmine Crockett, have no swear words about that.
@saludhumanidad Yo lo he planteado recientemente de una manera mucho más esquemática y bajo el prisma de la ineludible necesidad de decrecer por constreñimiento energético y porque es la única manera de evitar un #Caosclimatico totalmente catastrófico.
Calling all chatmail, Delta Chat and webxdc hackers and communities!

ChanHaeng Lee (@2chanhaeng), one of the @fedify maintainers, is asking the #fediverse which of his two projects he should present in the Social Web devroom at @fosdem 2027.
@drfed is an #ActivityPub debugging tool that he is building with @z9mb1, @gaebalgom, and me. fedi.blue (https://fedi.blue) is a library for servers that interoperate over both ActivityPub and the AT Protocol. Both would make good talks, which is why I would rather the audience picked.
The poll closes on 13 November 2026, so vote for the one you would rather sit through. #Fedify has three maintainers now, and all three of us are going to #FOSDEM 2027 and submitting proposals to the devroom. (The CFP is open until 27 November 2026 if you have a talk of your own.)

@hbons you can feel the synergy :D

Yeah so this is how I started -searching !privacy@lemmy.ml however despite me knowing its there and being able to visit it, it doesn’t appear as a result.
That’s what led me to visiting Lemmy.ml and clicking subscribe from that end.
Any way - subscribing from Summit has worked, and the privacy@lemmy.ml appears in my subscription list on the web ui too.
Odd. Glad you got it sorted.
@airboss I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I post the same posts there and get crickets too. I think I just suck at social media. 🙂
@mark not not even close, you have more talent than most, please keep it up!
Nehoda několika aut se stala na Chomutovsku na silnici k hranicím s Německem. Podle policie jsou dva zranění. Pro kamiony je silnice uzavřena.
