Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

It's cos they're privately owned and so don't necessarily have to be shit, where publicly owned companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders.

I think it's awesome that different Batman stories can examine different versions of Bruce and his position as a billionaire - it allows different aspects of the world to be interrogated: criminals sometimes doing crime because they know of no other way to survive in a capitalist hellscape, the apathies of billionaires to the evils of their financiers, Batman's obsession with order leasing him to militarise the streets of the city he loves, etc.

How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

[-] OscarRobin@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

Definitely part of it, but they also compare to other laptops with similarly sized displays etc and it is larger and heavier despite being less powerful than many of them. Obviously that's because it's modular and will be more powerful in future as a result too, but still fair to point out.

Google effectively has a monopoly on the Android app ecosystem and this trial brought to light mountains of evidence that they maintain this through extremely anti-competitive means.

Exactly. I can't believe how much praise people are giving Cyberpunk for not being broken anymore. Like bro that ain't an achievement.

Yep. Costs a bunch of money upfront and ongoing to operate a streaming service, and even more to make even just an alright one. Plus you split consumers which will naturally give you and competitors fewer subscribers over all. All of that just to get paid directly instead of just getting free money, even if less per-view.

Would be goated if everyone just switched to the Signal protocol and interop was mandated, but that'll never happen unfortunately.

Pros: Moderation quality, app ecosystem, no corporations or ads.

Cons: Small community, wayyy too much duplication of 'subreddits' on Lemmy across different servers (inherently not an issue on Mastodon).

Open Critic doesn't tell you anything, it just aggregates everyone's scores. If you don't like the scores then blame the critics.

What is and isn't worth preserving is not something that can be known at the time of preserving. The point of preservation is so things can be accessed later if and when they're needed. Even shitty games like Avengers may be relevant in many ways in the future, even if just to reference as 'a shitty game'.
