Can't have that. Might hurt profits somewhere. A big insurance company here just removed one of the drugs from coverage inexplicably.

Makes you wonder why despite a doctor prescribing it for weight loss, the insurance company can go ahead and just, nope out. and what motivation do they have to keep people fat?

Took the train from Toronto to NYC in 01. No thanks. Never again. Will drive if I can.

First colony in space.

we've all got a finite time and my dream is that mankind figures out how to spread throughout the stars.

a first colony is that step

Justice Kent Teskey warned the province that courts take a dim view of delay being used to neuter public attempts to understand how important decisions are made.

I wish the Ontario judges were at least this intelligent.

We're STILL waiting for Doug Ford's mandate letters: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/crown-lawyer-hours-ford-mandate-letters-1.6891876

There are definitely some federated servers that need to be removed from network

Lemmy.ml in particular is being used to push specific voices and banning anyone else

Banned apparently from asklemmy on there because one asshole interpreted me supporting Israel. When my comment exclusively was pointing out that the past the use made was low effort trolling meme in a thread complaining about trolling

So thank you davel@lemmy.ml for directly evidencing that you, and your node are hateful little agenda pushing shits.

I want to love lemmy

But the federated model will fail if nodes like the .ml continue to online

I honestly don’t feel like because I’d these problems this site is any better than Reddit.

We also need the power to block a node completely from our feeds.

Because it counters most peoples hate boner

The thread immediately above this with posts newer than yours ranting that “nobody in the government is doing anything”

But present them with the facts that the federal government is doing something, that is within their jurisdiction on, they go silent

A massive amount of the rage is intentionally being stoked and laid at the federal government for politics when it’s the Conservative premiers who actually have the most authority to do something about housing

Zoning and developer control is a provincial jurisdiction. The Feds cannot do anything other than provide financial incentives and tax changes

Yes. Especially in subs like “Canada” or any post involving Canada in any way

It does not matter what the topic of the thread or conversation is. It can be about how Canada loves puppies. And there will be random 1 or 2 liners from new accounts making political comments heavily pushing specific agendas. Even completely unrelated

Lots of random anti government misinformation and one liners pushing a specific party misinformation and narrative. Our how we’re some 3rd world collapsing country

It is not natural. Same thing occurs also on Reddit.

No rooted phones for our App. No travel to specific locals and countries either. we hvae black lists of Regions of the world where you simply cannot login to your accounts due to overwhelming security concerns and lack of extrajudicial remediation should there be fraud.

this is such a fun image from the other day of Musk's blatant hypocrisy and how his cult of personality has allowed his minions to ignore reality.

My point was about how he became that rich, compared to other people with similar parents money, if he is a complete idiot.

But you're still wrong. Lots of people who inherited money grew their wealth, without the need to have their face in the media constantly.

the reason we see so much of Musk is because he purposely puts himself in the public. There are more billionaires than just Musk who have grown their wealth without you ever knowing their names. Arguably, there are far FAR more of these no-name billionaires than the Musk type.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/25-richest-billionaires-inherited-fortunes-010158127.html

some examples.

As other's have said, He has used his inheritance to create momentum and a cult of personality around himself, which has helped him make money despite being proven time and time again to be a business idiot.

So Far, He has been removed from Paypal by the board for bad leadership. He was removed from chairman of Tesla for illegal leadership and bad leadership. And all evidence has shown that he has also tanked the value of Twitter.

he has definitely convinced you through his cult of personality that he's some business genius. Rather than just a loud asshole with lots of money to burn.

He's been allover the site posting the most inane oppositional comments to verything. Either a bot or paid account.

He says what he feels.

We call people like this with zero filter who constantly attack and insult others "Assholes"

Most people don't behave like this. And it's really no excuse for him spewing shit unfiltered. this is a terrible defense.

Telling his advertisers that if they don't like that he allows antisemitism and hatred on X, to fuck off, in person in an auditorium is not "human". it's disgusting and evidences that He himself believes in spreading hatred as long as it makes him rich/powerful

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/elon-musk-bob-iger-should-be-fired-immediately

this isn't how you run a business. (unless you're perfectly fine with spreading hatred)

that feels like my entire career

most people born into wealth do not flaunt it like Musk or Trump do. They are the exception not the rule.

they do so because of ego. They NEED the attention. Meanwhile, most billionaires don't go around publicly buying things like that. They do have investments similar, but they do so without appointing themselves as god emperor of the company.

The fact that Musk insists he must be the public face for any company he puts money into evidences extreme narcissism and the belief he is a genius.

Meanwhile. Other than seeing money and being a part time engineer for Space X. He doesn't have any real direct success for actual labour / work he's done. It's his inherited money that seems to have done the bulk of work. Buying in to banking, buying into space x, buying into tesla, buying into X. All essentially ideas by other people who just needed seed money.

His incompetence as a business runner should have been blatantly clear when the SEC had to step into Tesla due to his comments and have him removed from all financial decision making for the company.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-226

He straight up has no idea how to run a business itself and always acts like he's the full blown god of the companies he claims to run.

Fun story: He didn't found Tesla as he claimed. He bought in and part of the deal was he could claim as a founder. (founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning)

Also fun Fact: He only started Space X because he was ousted from PayPal for being a shitty CEO by the board.

probably just a flatpack issue. I don't bother using flatpack at all and still have not ran into anything that truly needs it (From a gaming use at least)

Once I got the steam deck and saw basically all my games could run in linux, I made the change fully on my laptops and desktop computers.

There's not a single windows left in my house.

I'm a former IT Manager and system admin. And I am so fucking frustrated and pissed at Microsoft's bullshit that I want nothing to do with them, and nothing of theirs in my house.

I cannot believe I'm going to say this: But from and enterprise point of view, I Miss Balmer. Nadella is a fucking useless wannabe Steve Jobs tool who has zero concept of what made Microsoft what it is. There's horror stories of dealing with Microsoft on a corporate level that attributed to me having a mental breakdown.

A whole lot of semi and newly blind people who believe it was a conspiracy are not going to admit to their ignorance. They will in fact probably say that the blindness was not normal eclipse behaviour and that it was all a Librul conspiracy to blind conservatives.

"Bad memory". tpsh. That memory exceeded it's mandate by 41 years. That memory is tired. it needed rest. It's ready to collect it's retirement pension.
