Not just Foss, but also open hardware.

And Lemmy mods: stop banning open hardware projects. Just because we happen to sell stuff doesn’t make us spam

No worries gurl, you can still use a wig and fake beard

What you’re describing is not a cooperative.

The definition of a cooperative is where they’re Democratic and decisions are made collectively by all members.

It sounds to me like what you’re describing is a for profit company

You’re supposed to grow the beard before and shave it off after. Its much faster to shave it off than grow it back

If EU “credit unions”:

1. Are not nonprofits,
2. Everyone with a bank account isn’t an equal member and voter in meetings,
3. All members aren’t given the opportunity to present proposals and decide how to spend excess revenue

…then it seems like that’s the problem

Do they have monthly fees? If not, I wouldn’t say they exist

Yeah, I’ve lived in Germany and those are terrible. Most charge monthly fees.

Some waive the fees if you have direct deposit or a minimum balance, but if you loose your job or leave the country for a decade, they’ll fuck their members pretty hard

Credit unions in the US are nonprofit banks that are coops. Everyone who is a member votes on what to do with the excess revenue, which usually gets paid as dividends back to the members (everyone with a bank account) or gets reinvested to cover cool services like ATM refunds (as in, they give you money for fees charged by other banks), free travel/phone insurance, etc.

Its curious that the idea of a credit union was born in Germany but modern German credit unions suck

Please do this with a YouTube alternative that doesn’t do evil ad tracking

They’re extremely popular in the US, especially in banking (credit unions). I have yet to find any country in Europe or South America with US-style credit unions and it drives me crazy

Probably doesn’t have enough money

We have several.

Lol wut? US dems have been right of center for a long time

You say 2 partes. I only see one.

You mean like the German die partei party?

GHG not just carbon, but yes

Oh, I saw a ton of search results feed me to worthless ai generated vomit. It definitely changed things.

Do you have a recommendation for a website that lets me subscribe to RSS feeds and display them publicly (without needing account or JavaScript to see the combined feed)?

No. The only thing effective is you. We are many. They are few.

Xfce. Keep it lightweight and simple.

I’d go Mint xfce.

If you see something, no you didn’t. Just walk away.
