Imagine simping for Putin 🤣

You have mastodon, which actually made a federated social media platform, but which has failed to become mainstream, and Blue sky which became mainstream, but has failed to actually become federated.

It makes sense that this is a limiting factor. However, I think it’s good that outside investors are kept out so that the business can serve the interests of its employees long term. Once the gears are in motion, I think it could work. Also, if these worker cooperatives were formed by people willing to work for basics like food and shelter initially, as well as equity, then they have a better chance.

Most will not. Look at history.

You got banned for reporting?

Left reddit during the API drama out of principle. I only read reddit now via 3rd party apps, I don’t contribute. I spend most of my time on Lemmy. My goal is for enough niche communities to grow here that I can give up reddit entirely.

Well, we will need to wait and see. The first Dem to consistently build an authentic movement though, wins with ease.

What did a single Trump rally achieve? Nothing. What did multiple years of Trump rallies achieve?

You still didn’t articulate it. You’re just throwing around generalities.

What law was broken? The court didn’t seem able to even articulate it. You can’t either.

I call bullshit on this one. France takes issue with Apple implementing App Tracking Transparency because it hurts advertisers? What exactly does France think following the law looks like? Allowing advertisers to track you by default? What Apple has done with ATT isn’t all that different from what the EU has required every damn website on the internet to do… ask permission to track.

More damning, in the ruling the court did not outline any specific way the software should change. This honestly just seems like a money grab on the part of France.

What principles is France and the EU after? Because this ruling makes it seem like it has no principles aside from “find any reason to issue a fine because the defendant is a big American company.”

I tend to agree with tightening regulations on tech, but there should at least be clear rules that can be followed, not arbitrary rules defined after the fact, if they’re defined at all.

Try adding the finger you use multiple times as a new finger. Adding it once wasn’t reliable enough for me, so I added it three times and its fine. Also, took some adjustment knowing how much to press down on the screen.

How do you use microg with graphene? I thought this was unsupported.

He had some good points, but I don’t think he has enough good points to fill a YouTube channel. He can be a little dramatic.

I don’t support the CCP, but I do think about these things. How do you create an open system like a democracy that leverages some of the benefits of capitalism, while also insuring economic inequality is minimized and every citizens basic needs are met, without gradually seeing the rich gain influence in that system over time, corroding the protections that make it work? I think as long as the system is open, the rich will use their power to gradually gain advantage and then destroy the system itself. I think the only real shot at it would be for wealth to be seriously capped. Like, no one person can have more than 100% more wealth than the bottom 1%. Anything above that should be taxed away. Also, corporations are not people and corporations should not have shareholders that are not workers.

thanks for the profound insight, nutsack.

Not Times Square, should be Lafayette Square.
