we've built our entire system on a house of cards. Growth is the only way the stocks go up and stocking going up is the only way people can retire.
It's an unsustainable system. Companies have to figure out how to grow their profit no matter what or the entire thing crumbles.
Instead of just building a good company that makes tons of money in it's space.. All companies have to try and grow grow grow..
They've been doing it with cheap money for a while and now that people are demanding better pay it's particularly difficult to grow.
We need better anti-monopoly laws. If a company can just raise it's prices and people have no other choice but to continue using them..that's a monopoly
Weak ass protest if mods just cave.. I'd be like go for it fuckers.. I mean you aren't going to pay someone and just placing random folks in that position without the mod tools necessary to do the unpaid job is really going to implode.
I think it's an early day sorta problem you are looking at. From the reddit point of view. r/technology just sorta became the default, but there are other tech news subs for sure.
Early reddit there were probably 100s of them and then everyone just found /r/technology and that's where you can get the most engagement.
I do think lemmy will need a way to create your own multi-community subs. So you can quickly click on your "tech" tree and see all the tech subs you've subscribed to.
behaw defederating though could cause issues, but I'd think over time that'll sort itself out as well.
End of the day people will settle into communities and eventually there will probably be a main tech place and that'll just be where you go. Just going to take some time for people to sort through it.
There are a lot of people on reddit that just post for karma or w/e reasons so we definitely have less content because we have less bots. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.. I'd also imagin eventually we'll have plenty of bots.
This is so stupid. If we are going to regulate social media companies it needs to be done at the national level. I'd say their age should be voluntary and if it's a minor then yeah the algorithms should be cognizant of that. But that needs to be a national bill.
I do hope that these social media companies respond by just shutting down in these states. Even as someone who is unfortunate enough to live in Texas.
Hopefully they use their ridiculous amount of power to show Texas legislators who is actually in charge.
These areticles are 100% written by big oil. It's quite literally propaganda. They are going so hard in the paint to try and slow down EV adoption. The IEA predicted we are going to hit peak demand by 2030. I think personally that they are way off and we'll get there far sooner, but peak demand means terminal decline in oil demand.
It's the beginning of the end for them and they are scared.
Random people I talk with spout out nonsense about battery fires burning down your house. It's already getting through to a lot of people.
Hilariously gas is highly combustible and ICE car fires are sooooo freaking common you just never hear about them lol.
game is really fun. Can be frustrating as most online shooters are. Feel like team work really important and when you get into a solid group it really adds to the experience. Hopefully has as many as were playing during the play tests.
You might consider buying a cheap 7" tablet on Amazon and using that for your dji. Assuming your controller can handle the size. I have an older dji and that's what I do. Nothing of importance on the tablet. I think a Lenovo 7" was like $99 when I got it.
Same as the title for me but different than your thing. Just feels stale over there and I go into comments and it's the same ol drivel over and over again lol. This community feels fresh and I'm really enjoying exploring the various communities and chatting casually about whatever..
Feels just very corporate place over there and I dunno. Just not feeling right anymore. I'm thinking maybe it's been wrong all along I just didn't realize. Hopefully lemmy's growth continues but at a reasonable pace so that we don't devolve in the same sorta rhetoric over and over again.
I definitely feel better over here now and while there are way less comments it really seems like the engagements are far better.
Maybe that's what it is. By the time I look at a post over on reddit there are 1000s of comments and half of them just saying the same thing lol.
yeah you'd think when temps hit 114 like nothing they'd start to question what they know. Especially when every day for the foreseeable future is going to be near these crazy ass temps.
But no.. "It's always been hot"
Sadly it's going to be when we have actual water rationing or the oceans have flooded the barrier islands that we built on that people will start to be worried about it. By then it'll be way too late, and they'll blame anyone except the politicians they voted for.
At this point we have to science our way out of this shit. We have a lot of governments with tons of money who could all contribute to the most powerful science team ever to exist and funnel funds to fight it.
Instead we are still arguing over if it's even happening.
The world is on fire and people just don't give a shit. We're more worried about keeping oil prices low than we are about rising oceans lol.
Through the month of june where I am in the south it's going to be record breaking temperatures every day. Facing 111f this weekend and next Tuesday 114f.
This is in TX and those temps are IN THE SHADE.. people are complaining that it's hot, but still not talking about climate change.
I blame our media companies. They are owned by people who need capitalism to just power on because that's their livelyhood and they are close enough to death and far enough north not to care. If our local weather people just talked about it every day and explain all these climate events as part of the great climate change I think people would start to care more and thus vote for people who care.
Sadly, at least in Texas, people flat out don't believe it because they were raised thinking that anything you don't believe in isn't true and anything you believe in is totally true.
Irony that the worship of a supposed creator is also going to be the ruination of our species.
Something tells me he wont be her husband for much longer. Statistically speaking relationships where the spouse has to go to jail for over a decade tend to not work out.
