There isn’t always a catch. Governance is often based on compromise and corruption runs rampant, so often there will be shitty things thrown in to appease corporate donors and conservative politicians, but sometimes the government just does something good without also doing something bad.

It’s based on posts and comments.

It seems like a difficult thing to regulate. I hope that this can be a starting point that will be potentially expanded later as needed, but we’ll see.

What’s currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied “This is the full truth” to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it’s a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?

And the dishwasher shredded my laundry. Stuff just isn’t built to last anymore.

I have Photon running at the same subdomain level as my main UI, but it’s easy enough to host both.

Unfortunately, the software for both running and displaying Lemmy is still in beta. While it’s still in active development, it’s probably for the best that we stay niche because bugs and stability issues turn off a lot of people permanently from the platform. That’s why I’m waiting until the Lemmy 1.0 release to really advertise, I don’t think we’re ready for that kind of growth yet.

Seems to. It federated to me at least, so it looks like it was saved correctly.

Indeed. Swamps and bogs experience significantly less decay than other biomes, a dead tree will just sink into the bog and stay there a long time.

Of course I own a car, you need to own one to get anywhere where I live. That doesn’t mean I have to support car infrastructure or be against public transit. I advocate for making public transit services more common and easier to use, and I would use public transit if my supported policies were implemented.

Politics are as subjective as the right to privacy. There isn’t a hard logical truth to it, it’s what people think is moral. Considering that, and considering that right-wing billionaires aren’t known for being friendly to privacy, I think it’s fine to bring politics into this discussion.

Maybe it’s Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia? They would be using Australian dollars, with $ as the currency symbol.

It also shows how detached some of these billionaires really are. A VR system is not yet affordable for the majority of Americans, and the technology has much more development to do before it’s as widespread as video game consoles, never mind PCs.

Not really, but it would still be more helpful to explain how it’s better.

I completely agree. I’m personally holding off on heavy promotion of this platform until we hit 1.0. If people join too early and are turned off by the lack of polish, they may not come back after it’s fixed.

The people on the top have a variety of internal justifications for what they’re doing. Some say that the world is “dog eat dog” and that they are the only ones looking out for themselves. Others say that what they’re doing is for some grander good that will come once they acquire enough wealth and power. Some are deluded enough they have convinced themselves they are telling the truth. That and many more justifications fly through the heads of the ultra-wealthy and powerful as they continue spreading misinformation and enriching themselves.

The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones.

I’m guessing that’s how they plan to get around that. They will leave the toggle enabled for people registered in EU countries, and disable it everywhere else. A fairly risky way to handle it in my opinion.

There can absolutely be victims in civil suits. A company isn’t a person so it’s not like they can go out and mug someone, often the only way to get justice against a company is in civil court.

This smear campaign is clear and obvious defamation. Someone should get in trouble for this, but unfortunately no one will.

That genuinely reads like satire. What an awful corporate model, extracting every penny out of the workers and consumers to force that line to keep going up.
