No, the people that didn't leave yet kept whining are the whiners.
Cool, but our governments have passed some of the absolute worst privacy laws in the world so this means basically nothing.
Our ISPs are forced to log all the metadata about everything you do on your internet service, and the government can basically just request it for any reason they desire.
Doesn't matter who started it, all that matters is how the admins handle it. If all it takes is a new user asking for a community or instance to be blocked/de-federated and it just happens no questions asked, the admin in charge are to blame, not the person for asking.
It was actually one of the most W3C compliant browsers there is, more so than chromium based ones. Unfortunately google’s near monopoly has made websites focus on working in chrome, not on standards.
Include my commute time in my 7 hours of work a day. I’m not driving out of my own love of it, I’m driving because you’re requiring me to be in the office so it should count as time on your clock, not mine.
Also pay for my parking at work, and my petrol to get there and back.
I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing on Lemmy RE: Sync. Lemmy itself doesn't have ads, neither do the iOS apps that I've been using - Memmy (which is AMAZING) and Liftoff, yet here comes Sync injecting ads in and having absurd subscriptions or one time fees...........and I'm seeing comments about people "crying because I'm so happy" and "can't stop smiling" lol.
Seems the reddit app devs who made their millions off the back of reddits free content are now coming here and just going straight to reddit 2.0 money making mode lol. They're now charging people to use their app that is using a free API. These are the same devs that chose to close their reddit apps completely instead of offering a subscription model that would pay for the api access. Make it make sense.
What exactly is “Bidenomics”? What are the policies he has implemented? Non American here.
Nah, apps are better. There aren't any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.
The UI is much better on apps in general.
Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.
Remember how everyone kicked up a giant stink about apple adding "on device CSAM scanning when uploading photos to iCloud"?
They did that precisely because it would allow them to search for CSAM without giving up any privacy. As I said back when all that rage was happening, if apple don't get to implement it this way you can be damn sure that the government is going to force them to implement CSAM scanning in a much more privacy-destroying way, and well here we are.
I just logged in on my NSFW account and lo and behold it has been permanently banned haha. Literally zero comments on it. It wasn't banned when I deleted my main account after having made comments having a go at reddit and the admins and the current situation, so they're clearly a bit butthurt and retaliated by .....banning my account that never actually does anything other than lurk.....which you can still do while permanently suspended lol. Funny that the ban message says
Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit's content policy.
on an account that has never posted lol
I'd do what Mark Cuban did with his Cost Plus Drug Company, which sells everything on it at cost + 15%, but for other essential products as well. I'd open up all types of stores that sell necessities - petrol, groceries, medication, plants, technology items, books, etc - at cost + whatever the lowest margin mark up I could get away with. The goal would be to drive prices down everywhere, not just at my stores. I'd also spend big on lobbying/campaigning for better legislation and regulation around essential goods and services.
Low cost public housing would be another area. Buying up land to build low cost housing estates with all the facilities and amenities needed.
Obviously it goes without saying I'd set up everyone of my family and close friends for life too.
Stargate was 4:3, so there's that....
