idk about OP but I use chrome because in Firefox I have to manually download my web history and send it to Google so they can log it for my security, Chrome streamlines this process and ensures Google has my data even if I mistakenly wonder onto a website they don't have trackers on

It's worth noting that also according to that article women attempt suicide 1.3x as often as men -- but men are more likely to use guns so they end up dying more. It seems to me guns are a core part of the issue

I feel like this reveals an uncomfortable truth about the lemmy user base lol

This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress

idk if you came up with this but I expect to see this joke a bunch more in the coming days lol

Breaking their users' trust by appending attribution tags to their URLs should've been unforgivable but I still see people pushing their browser online

Threadiverse sounds like what Meta/Threads would call the fediverse lol

Interesting that he would try to use the potential number of views as a selling point while also publicly decimating the reach of Twitter posts lol

"The suckers we talked into giving us money for our crazy salaries over the past decade+ want a return on their investment so cough up"

The old internet didn't have an all encompassing issue with bots and bad actors trying to gain your trust, a public post history is basically the closest thing a person can have to a trustable identity online, it's not a perfect solution but it helps

There's no conceivable reason that reddit shouldn't be profitable right now with the market saturation they have unless the majority of people who've been making money off of the site up until now have been minimal effort contributors trying to get their piece of the money pie. 99% of the work is done by "unpaid" (by reddit) mods yet somehow they still have 2k people on the payroll and still need to centralize more and more capital to cover the overhead, it's easy to imagine most of their current expenses are going to dumb corporate tech money sinks that are going out of style fast and have little to show for the last decade of spending lol

in general I would assume any subs not participating are run by mods who value their mod status more than the quality of their community
