Utopia (from Ουτοπία) is an impossible Vision of the future, while Evtopia (from Ευτοπία) is the best possible Vision.
Interesting. I never heard of Evtopia, and I also did not understand Utopia as necessarily impossible. Could be possible or impossible, depends on context.

I also don't think being unreachable is necessarily a bad thing. Consider an 'Ideal'. Although some ideals may never be fully actualized, they are seen as something good and worth pursuing nevertheless.
But mostly, I don't think the opinions of proponents or opponents of this idea are swayed by wether we call it Utopia or Evtopia. If anything, using the more common term makes it more relatable.
You’d think if it was all basic biology we would just have a unique gender for every one wouldn’t you?
Nothing in biology is exactly identical between individuums. A common eye color is brown, although there are as many shades of brown as there are people.
It is just practical and how language, or even perception works, that we tend to categorize similarities, and strongly favor common occurrances over outliers.
the doctor is describing your phenotypic sex based on observable characteristics.
Your doctor is assigning you a gender.
Maybe you two aren't even disagreeing?
I'd say the doctor tries to assign the new born into male or female according to biological sex, and gender is inferred from that.
He calls you either a boy or a girl based on your genital configuration
Yes, that's what I mean. A two-step process. First, biological expression is assessed. Next, based on #1, social gender is inferred.
If they have any ability to post to the Fediverse or to track things they’ll do it all over again.
They have that ability, and always will have. They can create as many accounts as they like on as many instances as they like, or run as many instances as they like themselves, use incentivized individuals, or employees, or bots, or any combination of all of the above. No one can stop them, maybe even no one can spot them.
The only thing which is holding them back right now is lemmy/kbin still being too insignificant. If the network continues to grow, more and more big corps will see it as a market and an opportunity, and they will have plenty of ways to interact with it.
if Google or Meta wants to join they should to us not us to them so if they break federation we should not care and continue implement our stuff
As I understood the article, the danger is that large actors like these are too important too ignore. Too many users, too much content to neglect. So while in theory you are obviously right, in reality there will be a temptation to cater to their needs, because it seems so worthwhile.
Hi :)
Since yesterday, I cannot see posts created by me, in neither view nor search. The posts still exist, but they aren't shown to me.
Today, I also noticed the two local communities on lemmy.click apparently have 0 posts.
Not sure if these phenomena are connected. Does anybody else experience the same? Does anybody know what's going on?
Die Hamburger Polizei will bald Videokameras einsetzen, die angeblich verdächtiges Verhalten automatisch erkennen sollen. Hamburg wäre damit die zweite Stadt in Deutschland, die diese Technologie einsetzt. Besonders betroffen sind Obdachlose.

"And, as Putin said yesterday, one of the tasks was to demilitarise Ukraine. In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with."
Ah, the subtle differences between demilitarization and upgrading to NATO standards.
If his statement had ever anything to do with reality. Probably just feel-good words directed at the domestic audience.

> “ERNTE TEILEN” erzählt die Geschichte von Landwirt:innen, die dem Wachstumszwang unseres Systems etwas entgegensetzen und aus den Strukturen der konventionellen Landwirtschaft ausbrechen. Filmemacher und Aktivist Philipp Petruch begibt sich mit dem Film auf eine Reise zu drei SoLaWi-Initiativen in Brandenburg und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Sie verbindet ein klares Ziel: Mit Hilfe von Gemeinschaften schaffen sie einen lokalen Versorgungskreislauf nach den Werten von Ökologie und Gemeinwohl. Mit Mut, Gemeinschaftssinn und einem neuen Verhältnis von Konsument und Produzent können wir die Landwirtschaft verändern.

Die Menge an CO2, die wir noch emittieren können, ohne die 1,5-Grad-Grenze zu reißen, wird Tag für Tag kleiner. **Gleichzeitig sollen in der Lausitz noch 700 Millionen Tonnen Kohle abgebaut werden, mehr als drei Mal so viel, wie die 1,5°-Grenze erlaubt** [1].

> In der Lausitz will der Kohlekonzern LEAG noch bis 2038 Kohle verfeuern, dabei ist klar: Für die Einhaltung der 1,5-Grad-Grenze aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen muss der Kohleausstieg im Osten deutlich früher kommen. Dabei ist vor allem wichtig, dass die Menge an Kohle, die noch gefördert wird, ausreichend reduziert wird - ein nettes Ausstiegsdatum allein reicht nicht!

Hello, fellow clicks!
Since I migrated from reddit a few days ago (here to stay), I tried to find and subscribe to communities of interest. Sometimes it works, but more often it does not.
I try to
- find the community using the built in search function: "space"
- force-find the community by changing the query to: "space@lemmy.ml" or "!space@lemmy.ml"
- manually construct the URL: https://lemmy.click/c/space@lemmy.ml
Neither works currently for this community, although it exists: https://lemmy.ml/c/space@lemmy.ml
Am I doing something wrong? Has this worked before all the reddit refugees came, Is it a temporary issue?
