[the right wing government] says it is implementing a “paradigm shift” in its migration policies [...]

Note that at the same time, the social deomocrats are trying to embrace this paradigm shift as their doing and that what is being done now is just details on their work.

government has proposed new initiatives to deport or repatriate migrants

This also includes just a vague "bad behavior", "vandel". And in examples given by government representatives it could mean things like being a victim of a crime.

At least for sweden they appear to have shipping options with taxes/duty included. I don't have in front of me right now, but it was something like 200€ all inclusive shipping on a 500€ order. Something like that.

Sure, but their's is not flat

individuals earning below a set threshold receive payments instead of paying taxes

So it is not universal. It is not UBI. The difference it not billionaires but the middle class. The upper middle class may not need a UBI, but if you give it to them, they would be inclined to vote to keep it. If you only give a non-universal/progressive negative-tax/income, the middle class would be inclined to vote to vote to keep UBI way below "basic". Like tax breaks offered to the middle class, I hate them, but they are basically impossible to reverse because they are so popular. A UBI and whatever you want to call this is very different policies.

But they are not for a UBI, right? Because I think they want a negative tax, not something that is a universal income.

Wikipedia says center/center-left. But I've met a Volt member, and they were very neo-liberal.

How though? What policy do they think would sway a person voting far-right currently?

If a 1D figure has length, a 2D figure has area, and a 3D figure has volume, are there names for what's inside 4D, 5D figures and so on? in c/[email protected]

Only if you also call length "1-dimensional volume".

You'd just continue saying 'volume', alternatively 'k-dimensional volume' or 'volume of the n-dimensional object'. Like for spheres: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

The n-dimensional volume of a Euclidean ball of radius R in n-dimensional Euclidean space is:[1]

  • {\displaystyle V\_{n}(R)={\frac {\pi ^{n/2}}{\Gamma {\bigl (}{\tfrac {n}{2}}+1{\bigr )}}}R^{n},}

Definition of concepts from abstract:

Political views, opinions, and worldviews become increasingly irreconcilable (idea-based polarization), while at the same time society appears to be getting fractured in antagonistic, opposing camps (identity-based polarization).

I'm not sure how it is actually measured. It is from the v-dem dataset. Is that questionaire data?

[Help] Setting up your own e-mail/smtp for alerts? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi,

I'm looking for some way to send my own alerts via e-mail in some way. Whenever I try to search for this, most docker images have a much grander goal, and I have a hard time understanding how to use them for my purpose.

What would I want? It'd be nice to have a docker running some smpt-server (I suppose), so that I can make my own python script that scrapes a website, looks at some metric, and e-mails me whenever whatever I'm looking for is found. I only want it to be available on and to receive mails from localhost, no dns, just forward e-mails to my personal one, no web-interface, etc.

I'm quite new to self-hosting, but I hope you still understand what I'm looking for. Is it possible? Should I look for another solution? Will this not work? Any help/input very much welcome.
