If it was so broken before that people who had earned it weren’t getting the benefit and now they are, that’s “more of the same”?

Wait, are you seriously contending that making significant progress on repairing something that’s fundamentally broken and affects a large amount of people for an extended time isn’t a massively positive thing?

Yeah, the article is pretty tankie on that point, the author’s far-left credentials are pretty well established though. I thought it was a good argument why people who are way left of the current Democratic Party still benefit from continuing to vote for democrats because it allows them to keep pushing for change.

I came to say the same thing. It was so good.

Are you looking for a book reading app:

  • Where if you throw an EPUB file (for example) at it you can read it within the app?

Or

  • One where you can track information about books that you are reading or have read and can find out if new books are coming out similar to those you currently have shown interest in?

Nice. If we do one for some community on Lemmy, would you be interested in working together on it?

There’s a 25 square (5x5) sheet with a variety of criteria and the goal is to read books over the course of the year that meet those criteria. Sometimes there are 2 levels of challenge where there’s a less challenging way to accomplish it; for example if the category was magical school, the most common ones like Harry Potter might be considered the easy route and if you chose a less common book it would meet the harder criteria.

I briefly talked to Gabe about it closer to the beginning of the year and it felt like he had a lot on his mind at that time. I had made a more generic one up. proposed bingo sheet

This and Operation Paperclip are basically open secrets at this point. I mean, they both have pretty extensive Wikipedia pages, and they made a movie about Wernher von Braun. It’s not some hidden secret.

!arctic@lemmy.world has good markdown support and if it’s missing anything the developer is pretty good at making sure the next update supports it.
