Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?
4·10 months agoA next generation open source ww2/propeller combat flight sim from the community by the community. Sims (of any type) are a captive market so they are barely what they could be in this day and age. Open source sim and libraries could help in “pulling a Blender” with a next gen engine like Bevy engine.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?
4·11 months agoThere’s a solution for reducing population while increasing birthrates: war, pandemias and forced
inoculationsinseminations (physically or by peer pressure).Edit: I’m not an antivaxxer, that’s just idiotic. I’m talking antiabortion and religion.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you teach digital literacy to 13-18 year old students?
14·1 year agoFollow-up: teach them to learn to troubleshoot and search. Take the fear of breaking something from them by providing them with a VM with windows where they need to fix something or install a driver. Provide them with a Linux VM just for them to try too.
Teach them mistrust. Make them upload things to a copy of Google docs or something, and then show how you have access to everything.
Teach them about open source as a precondition for being able to trust software.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you teach digital literacy to 13-18 year old students?
18·1 year agoI would go with tasks where they get to “hack” or learn about each other. Give them usb sticks, make them put a silly trivia on an encrypted 7z with passwords that are somewhat crackable. Then, take their usbs from them, and distribute them randomly, and let them use jack the ripper or so. Twist, you would have added a virus or something into the USB stick, so they get infected with a “silly pop up” once they start jack the ripper. They get to play, and the exercise will stick with them.
Teach them about 10 minute mails pages, to open a silly account t somewhere.
Make them use a VPN like mullvad or some that you have set up to access a specific page or make web searches. They can notice the difference in content depending on the country they are exiting with. Twist: you control the VPN, provide them at the end with a list of accessed pages so they understand how the vpns do not ensure privacy. Explain simply what a VPN is (tunnel,etc).

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?
14·1 year agoClimate change is real. We either do nothing and everything changes, or we change our way of living to save humanity. Either way, change is coming.
There’s nothing to conserve. Conservatism doesn’t have a ground in facts & reality, if it ever had. Hence conservatism now fights fanatically for its own survival, and capitalism survival, at the
behestcost of all us, the progress that humanity has achieved so far, and the planet that we all share.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the best steps to reduce the wealth of billionaires?
37·2 years agoTax the income of corporations not the profit. The same way you get taxed your VAT. That means that corporations can’t tax evade: if they make income in a country, they get taxed. They can’t go an declare the profit in the Netherlands or Ireland and skip paying taxes.
Create and use parallel institutions to allow society to thrive without needing to play the billionares economy game. Example: communication tools outside of a market involvement such as Lemmy, Element (matrix). Economy tools. Association tools. See the application of Dual Power by socialists, which is what you are proposing here, a redistribution of power and wealth.
Vote for those pushing for these.
