The quoting in Lemmy is block quotes, so it appears you'd have to quote each paragraph individually. Definitely inconvenient, I wonder if there's a way they could rework the system.
For the best. Companies need to learn to tread carefully when dealing with customers, they can't be allowed to get off lightly for trying anti-consumer practices like this.
Indeed. Affiliate marketing is another term for multi-level marketing, which itself offers a thin veneer of legitimacy to a more typical pyramid scheme.
Perhaps that could be resolved by a disclaimer. Something like, "The following lyrics were generated by an AI and thus may be mistranslated." It wouldn't be perfect, but it might help.
It's really neat to see something like this still going. Torrenting is a cool technology, it's fun to download and then seed a file, knowing that now other people will get to enjoy it.
Clarence Thomas is clearly not just a threat to the integrity of the court but to the entire United States. If we are going to have a functional democracy, he needs to be removed from office and imprisoned.
I liked that my LG phone had a back made of metal. I don't like that phones are entirely glass now, it makes them feel delicate and fragile and they get covered with fingerprints immediately.
Indeed, but no one knows what that number is. Corporations are currently of the mindset of "that will happen in the distant future, so we can keep going." Of course, eventually, that distant future will become the present and things will collapse, but they'll keep saying it's in the future until then.
Out of the two parties, only the Democrats have a significant pro-labor presence and support sensible Keynesian economics rather than extreme free-market solutions. In the federal government, both parties have increased the debt at a similar rate, and Democrats do that by spending more on social programs that benefit the American populace vs. the Republicans who do so with tax cuts that only benefit millionaires and billionaires. In what world is the Republican party the party of good economics?
President Joe Biden has genuinely been one of the more pro-labor presidents in American history. While I strongly disagree with how he handled the rail strikes, the policy coming from his NLRB and the way he's been handling the auto strikes I think are a strong indicator of the policy that he stands for. The United States presidency has an extremely poor track record when it comes to working with labor, and I'll take whatever progress I can get.
Mastadon (and the Fediverse in general, to some extent) has problems with discoverability and the average user finds federation confusing. People tend to either use microblogging to see what's going on with people they're interested in or to broadcast their activities to a large group of people, and Mastadon currently doesn't fit that niche very well.
I think this is fine. I understand why rules of formality exist, but it's not like Congress shows decorum in its actions. If they want us to respect it, they should pass good policy that helps people, we care much more about that than whether individual senators wear a suit.
