I still don't get why people spend money... there's tons of it for free

  • the vast, vast majority

    Not to disagree with your main point - everyone deserves to be paid - but porn scales so well that we might already have enough free amateur production for everyone. It just doesn't get to the top of SEO-optimized searches.

    • But this... does put a smile on my face

  • Always real answer: they invested in BAT.

    • Disturbingly accurate

    Jump

  • No such thing. Live out loud, grow a big beard if you want.

    • Peak technology

    Jump

  • That's very hard to do in practice when you make a thousand little choices a day - the time spent researching everything would be astronomical.

    The solutions we offer should take rational ignorance into account; shaming victims won't make it go away. Where do your food and clothes come from?

  • That part about gold being impossible to depose didn't age well. 😢

    • Witty title

    Jump

  • Does that really count as "throw objects" though?

    • As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs

    Jump

  • How come they don't count? They're figuring out how the machines should work, for money. That's engineering, right? (I'm an American mechanical engineer)

    • They lied to us

    Jump

  • Mmmmm, steamed hams!

    • Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?'

    Jump

  • Brilliant advertising. That could be me!

  • In which market is Steam a monopoly?

  • If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I'd be cool with that.

    • I heard you wanted more

    Jump

  • Somewhere beyond "offensive".

  • I think it's because he just did the wordplay and didn't ask "our opinion on" jhoes, which raises the jhoish question.

    • Sounds like a fart

    Jump

  • Actually, yes. Maybe I should...

    • Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

    Jump

  • I've been scared to use that ever since they actually solved "Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money".

    • Sounds like a fart

  • 4600/5000ths of the way to their goal is just tragic. Someone needs to finish it.

    • No thanks China!

    Jump

  • I'm not defending China here, but since Snowden we now know that American corporate spyware does serve the government. And they are suppressing democracy - this isn't a democracy yet, and peaceful protests for democracy are met with violent police resistance - Occupy, BLM, etc.

    I sincerely hope that Lemmy can grow large enough to serve as a staging ground for democratic protests in America, just because it's not corporate controlled.

    • After watching batman throw around explosives left and right I no longer believe batman doesn't use guns because of some sort of moral quandary but rather he just prefers the challenge.

  • Half the white people: Yee haw, I'm gonna shoot some minorities! I'm in a militia!

    Other half of white people: Don't worry, the police will protect you. No militias gangs allowed!

    • Are We Watching The Internet Die?

  • If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.

    • French journalists were able to get access to a confidential report from the French Defense Dpt. on the war.

    Jump

  • I think most of us do, yes. This is whataboutism.
