No idea. They could. I think its just because of the volume of drawings to do. Some engineers do all their draft. But in some big project. I think it cost less to have have drafters or you will have your engineers spend x3 time drafting than doing engineering job.

Pride parade and days have to be understood in a sociohistorical perspective. Gays , or afro americans, or women, or trans have been seen as less than human and treated socialy and legally as less than white adult men. It might be normalized and accepted today in California or Toronto, but this statu quo is really weak and only in appearance. Many still just "tolerate" minorities. We still have to fight for acceptation and being seen as real humans and also fight for an international presence, and also show our support for oppressed people around the world. I also had your mentality, but when you learn about history and actual oppression, you understand that the fight is not over.

As a CAD industrial drafter, I approve.

Good analogy. Inflation is a rate of change.

Inflation is not prices, it's a rate of increase of prices. Even if Inflation is at 0%, prices won't decrease, 0% mean prices stability. To see prices diminish, Inflation would need to be negative, in that case it's depression.

no , but I know a bunch of passionate geek are doing it.

Still not enough content. I already feel the slow down in activities. I'm in a weird spot rn. I go back to reddit because there's more interesting stuff to see, but the official apps is so bad, that I come back here. Also People here seems more intelligent on avg.

I like lemmy because there is no ads and no gold and premium stupid stuff like NFTs and 50$ awards. I liked the awards ideas ,but damn paying up to 100$ for digital emojis that everyone will forget in a day?

The big downside is the lack of embedded videos. Of course videos takes a lot of server power compared to text. But I hope we find a way to implement this in the future.

I think we should have a public board that shows the instance hardware spec and the finance. So we can set donations goals to upgrade servers or keep them afloat.

18 months for running sexual exploitation business and 11 rapes....

Why it's always right wing extremist ? Where are the radical xenogender communist training hate camps?

If you have a lot of money , why not? But think to the cost of travel to see your family.

Official NFTs collectible.

My god , if this is not populism ,I don't know what it is. Québec government CAQ did something similar 1 month before its re-election .
