It gets protection from large things while getting all the free tiny bugs it can eat, it’s a great deal.

yeah, rats.
we’ve generally solved the rat problem, but that was the initial pitch, then their cute faces hypnotized us.

more competition making headsets
quite the opposite has happened, there are fewer companies making headsets now. Microsoft is removing their version of open platform, mixed reality from windows entirely…
As someone points out above, this just gives them the power to not authenticate real videos that make them look bad…
And that will in no way be the first step on the road to VLC deciding which videos it allows you to play…

Over-moderation will kill Lemmy instances. One of the reasons Reddit became as big as it did is due to very light-touch moderation verging on “absolute freedom of speech”. It was refreshing and ‘alternative’ compared to the increasing sanitisation of the Internet.
That’s the sub not the website, over moderation is a feature of some subs, just like lemmy instances. Just like reddit, if you don’t like it create your own, unlike reddit you can set an overall tone to your instance.
i use google to search reddit and youtube. reddit’s search still sucks and youtube brings up the same results as google generally and it’s in my address bar aleady.
It’s sad to see that everyday users have gotten habituated to these constant workflow braking updates.
I’ve never understood this problem, people talk like it has a mind of it’s own and i just don’t get it.
I’m running windows 11 pro and have never had updates interrupt my shit.
Updates show up in my system tray, then it updates overnight when i sleep.
for what it’s worth, it’s a small active community. Those that stay participate, like a pre-Eternal September internet. I’ve seen memes here before they made it to reddit, that’s a shift in “power” that can’t be understated in the landscape of the internets.
“If 10 people are sitting at a table being civil to 1 nazi, there are 11 nazis at the table.”
Final Fantasy the Spirit within is a bit like that.
It’s not good, but that is the plot.
like fungi recycle dead things into an absurd amount of nutrients, without them trees especially would barely break down and just stick around until very very eventually they turn into coal.
this is just such a cool thing to think about, there was a time when there were just dead trees everywhere in forests, like just laying there being logs or whatever, just piles and piles of dead trees and that’s where coal comes from.
The people mining and dying and polluting the planet just digging out piles of dead trees.
Just like what? I get it, but what?
I guess i’m getting that from when you first said,
but in a truly free market capitalist system
I just assumed you were defending a “truly free market” capitalism.
to address what you just posted,
is it appropriate to blame capitalism when a public corporation in collusion with the government is at fault for an issue? If not, why?
yes, capitalism creates the conditions for that collusion. It allows entities with the only goal of profit at any cost.
removing the government doesn’t reduce that corruption it just allows it to go unchecked without even an illusion of protection to the public.
Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?
Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.
I feel as though you’re also assuming I’m 100% advocating for what I’m describing
i think you’re missing it. Government for as glacial and corrupt and corruptible as it is, is the only buffer from the excess of a free market.
businesses without a guardrail HAVE proven they will sacrifice everything, literally everything in the name of profit.
Oil companies have know for about a century that they are destroying the planet and they are *still * doing it. They fight every regulation that stops them tooth and nail. They buy and shelve technologies that would cut into their profit. Imagine a world where there was no one trying to stop them at all?
That is the proper diagnosis of our system. We have allowed unaccountable immoral groups to control the means of production and they are literally using it to with kill us all.
So punishment for being poor?
There is no technological reason for it to be that limited…
ghost?
nm I looked it up myself.
Why aren’t more people on ghost? It’s a stupid name for what it does, but the $9 a month and keeping the rest is a great deal if you have more than a handful of subscribers.
