Man, we need mesh networks yesterday. I don’t care if it’s slow, I just want them to get out of my face.

An instance with poor interoperability and boot licker admins.

I’m glad Reddit won here because it sets a precedent that will protect less well-funded Lemmy instances.

Wouldn’t that just be a bunch of QR codes in the credits? That would be easier to automate than it is to pay middlemen.

It’s a tragedy of the commons - as an economics problem it matters, sure, but copyright is an artificial monopoly, not a human right. We could provide these more efficiently with public funding of the arts or crowdfunds, without the need to make up imaginary property with imaginary ethics.

But if you want to sign up for a bunch of subscriptions because some might trickle down to the writers, be my guest.

So you moved the goalposts?

You’ve gone from asking what was lost to insisting that they took it in order to give us a discount.

Refunding the sale price is still theft. If it was only worth that much to me (zero surplus), then I wouldn’t have bothered with the trade in the first place. The only things worth buying are worth more to you than the sale price.

Don’t dissidents want regime change to happen more than they want Netflix?

I’ve been a mindbleach fan since Reddit

what a character

Wait we can’t? I talk about pay with coworkers all the time.

The building helps a teensy bit because their premiums will go up, and so will the premiums of anyone expecting similar risks. It’s averaging out the financial risk, not eliminating it.

If they were held accountable for their crimes then police, CEOs, and politicians would already all be in jail.

Do we have an expectation of privacy for our upvotes, or is that generally supposed to be public information? I like to think my comments and upvotes match up pretty well.

I wasn’t conscious of it until I had stopped, but on Reddit I was censoring myself to avoid my comments getting deleted.

This is why we need a p2p mesh internet.

Everyone: “But Explodicle, the bandwidth will be terrible!”

Meh, all we really need is basic communication infrastructure that isn’t hostile. Everything else I can wait to download… like the 90s.

Same here! It’s absolutely bonkers to me that everyone was just OK with that.

I believe in public institutions, our societies should be built on trust; for me, a trust-less society is a dystopia.

This was my favorite part; it sounded just like arguments about faith.

Wait wait wait. This is the real world?
