Most people’s pension funds invest in all the awful companies they like to complain about.

You can despise capitalism, but ultimately we still need to exist in a capitalist society.

Generally evidence is needed to arrest someone.

Super frustrating article to read.

A single person being stabbed isn’t a “major incident” if you’re the chief of police or whatever a prefect is.

Correct.

Suppose you wanted students to upload assignments or something.

I’m gonna try out sftpgo when I have a minute. Docs say it does this.

If only there were some way that the people could kind of ha e their say and direct lawmakers th address some of these problems. The people need to choose some kind of representative that propose and pursue these changes. Imagine if you could just kind of “poll” the will of the people and add up everyone’s choices to choose a representative.

Not really. Nextcloud does this. They call it a “file drop”.

Like you create a share link for a folder, and then specify that users of that link can’t see any files, only upload.

Edit: looking at the docs this one seems quite good. Thanks!

I was looking at this. Best option i found prior to making this post.

That was the first place I looked.

I was more or less exclusively lemmy for a good year or so, up until several months ago.

I would’ve logged into reddit maybe 3 or 4 times in the last year.

Sadly, I have to admit that browsing reddit with redlib or something is better than lemmy.

Lemmys main virtue is that its not reddit.

There’s less content here, and it really is an echo chamber.

I’m a tax consultant, so I see a lot of people’s side hustles.

As other’s here have said, once you monetise a hobby it’s not a fun hobby anymore… just another responsibility.

Take the beads thing for example. Carving some beads to make some cool jewellery sounds like a great hobby, and you could make some really amazing unique gifts for family. However, if you want to make money from it then you need to compete with other etsy vendors - you’ll very quickly find the pieces that sell and then it becomes a question of how many of those pieces you can turn out per hour or per day.

Economically, making money requires time, or skill, or capital. The most appropriate will be a mix of all three that fits your circumstances. As a “side hustle” you kinda want a little of each rather than a lot of each. Good examples might be:

• window cleaning - for businesses or residences
• gutter cleaning - get one of those telescopic pole thingies with a camera so you don’t actually need to go on anyones roof
• lawn mowing - just a few customers in your street

These things aren’t “hobbies” but they will be a lot more satisfying, enjoyable, and profitable than carving beads.

is vibe coding just using an llm to assist or whatever?
