Only lasted less than a day before it was intentionally corrupted by 4chan and shut down for idolizing Hitler

A lot of platforms only update at the end of the month. S&P 500 is down 11.54% and NASDAQ composite is down 12.5% in just the last 5 days.

Thanks for writing an essay so I no longer feel the need to lol. I hope your post gets more visibility.

I fucking hate advertising. I want it banned to the greatest extent that we can do so. But if we want actual change, it needs to be a lawfully applicable strategy. We don't need to make the perfect the enemy of the good. Banning ads for medication is a great start that everyone can agree on for instance. We should work up from there.

The most insidious stuff is the content you don't even realize is an ad, like comments and methods of boosting/lowering visibility on social media. That is a thorny issue.

This is a new phenomenon here in my experience, the cynic in me says this is ad companies trying to control and shut down the conversation as Lemmy grows. Better to have your opposition not have a realistic and feasible route to their goals.

It reminds me of how close the US was to actual police reform before all the discussion became "defund the police entirely" like that was going to just suddenly fix everything and cause no other problems. Then the whole movement just basically evaporated.

Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.

We need answers

Even beyond all the wishful thinking, Tesla could literally evaporate and it would not meaningfully impact musk in his current position. SpaceX can be arbitrarily juiced by the govt via contracts and since it's not publicly traded we don't even really get insight into it's real value.

Tesla is long overdue to return to earth given it's financials compared to other auto manufacturers. It also is not used as collateral for the twitter buy, despite what is regularly parroted.

Games are pretty demanding, there will probably be widespread support just coincidentally. Also companies build software for where the market is, a big Linux population will command more development time for drivers etc.

It's sadly far easier to gut windows than it is to get Linux working for everything I need. I'd love for this meme to be true because I'm gonna end up fighting the good fight come EoL win10 but don't kid yourself.

I agree with the idea of properly owning your device, but its pretty rare I need root access and it's not all that hard for me to enable it if I truly needed it. Turns out graphene has an option built in to limit charging to 80% and I use slow chargers already so I actually don't need it here either.

There are pretty solid security reasons to keep it locked down. It's an attack vector that allows easily superceding the otherwise highest permissions on your device.

Damn that app needs root access. Great idea though

I mean that's kind of the point. What types of experiences can make someone "mentally ill"? Can it be weaponized against an otherwise cohesive society?

Come wit it now

How do I get this guy's job

Pretty sure it was a loose cable. They're basically giant iPhones and I saw similar issues on those. I should also mention said counter had an antistatic mat on it to soften the blow.

I was an apple tech for a time. With iPads that were out of warranty (basically go buy a new one or GTFO) and exhibiting a certain display issue, I would take it in the back and slam the thing on a counter at a certain angle. Worked every time for that particular problem.

As of 2023 Mozilla had over 1.3 billion dollars in reserve (thanks Google!). This is not over yet, but it will be drained pretty quickly if they keep treating a nonprofit like a typical silicon valley tech company.

Mozilla is run by a nonprofit and just lost 80% of its revenue from the Google ad antitrust case. How is your using their browser making them any money? That's literally the rub here. The whole promise of Firefox is that they don't data mine your activities like chromium browsers do and data mining and ads would be the way to make revenue anywhere near on par with what was lost. The CEO gets paid the same either way out of the billion or so that Mozilla has in financial reserve. Firefox keeps losing user base yet the CEO pay keeps going up.
