This, my friends, is a classic lemmy argument: "how about someone whom I already don't pay anything go and do more work for less pay, so I can enjoy my content free, without ads, and don't need to bother with an AdBlock".

How about, you, anon, set up a server, provide a simple upload API, and convince your favorite content creator to upload there? Since it's no costs for them and very little work, they might. Maintain that for a year, then we'll talk.

You use the word fascism in a way that it appears you need to look up it's meaning in the dictionary.

This market domination is non-discriminatory. It's not like you go to your local car dealerships and they don't sell you any other brand than GM. Everyone on the internet is free to go and use any other service. It's dominant because users are happy with their ads or subscription fees instead of investing their time into using a competing product.

It's their private website, they do on it whatever they want. Right, lemmy?

You can run your own federated streaming service that will have no ads and will be free of charge, yeah?

The other day someone on lemmy kept trying to tell me that if google wanted to shut down ad blocking they would. But they don't, so it's ok.

Lol, spawn me that person plz.

Here's a pro tip: sleep a lot the day before, and ideally the day before that too. On the important night don't exhaust yourself with gaming or whatever, but don't force it. You'll end up sleeping maybe 4h, but if you slept well the previous two days, you'll be fine.

Sleep deprivation only really shows over prolonged periods of time. You can ace a lot of tests with the above method.

Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday's failures, while looking at results well-knowing they're unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?

If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it's not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.

Chart Title

some? How about better thermals, better battery life, and a better integrated graphics?

That's cuz you never had a proper napolitan pizza you uncultured swine. You'd never open your mouth about pizza again, or call anything you can buy in your America a pizza.

For those peasants who've never heard of olio peperoncino

Tourists are not culture. They're a zombie plague.

I promise you, if you move there, learn Spanish and start working for a local company, you'll learn that people there are extremely welcoming to foreigners.

But if all you want is an Instagram shot in the same spot as the other 16 million people who visited just this year a city of 1.6m, and an "authentic" paella (you won't get an authentic one, trust me, but you'll be told it is and you'll keep bragging about it to your colleagues once you return from your vacay, even though the thing you tried tastes nothing like what a paella should taste, digression end), then you bring a negative cultural value. You're an annoyance, and a one that's not worth whatever financial benefit it brings.

One could also argue that most of your financial contribution goes to making hotels and landlords richer, and nobody really needs that.

So, I'm with people of Barcelona who paint "fuck you tourists" on their walls.

Definition of a country is a weird thing as there is no institution to certify that. Countries exist through an acknowledgement by everyone. So, those "international waters" are only international for parties that recognize Taiwan as an independent country.

So, you can keep insisting that this is a simple fact, but actually it's by definition an opinion. E.g. it could be international waters in the opinion of one country and not be in the opinion of the other.

Years go by but the internet legend lives on.

Dunno about that science article, but I bought a poop knife a while ago and it works great!

To the copypasta archive with you!

If someone would be buying those, someone would be selling. You have all the opportunity to fork current android, put it on a different platform, make sure all the drivers are open source instead of blobs, and sell it.

I'd really want to buy one. But I'll only do that after you somehow make sure the 3-5 major messaging apps, 2-3 major browsers, and a really good maps app are available.

So, basically, it's a 100 mil endeavor for an MVP really. So, I think, the chances of someone actually pulling it off are pretty slim.

Yeah, it already exists in the EU

Trump stopped the war in Afghanistan and hasn't started a single new one. Unlike Obama and Biden. I'm voting trump cuz I'm against genocide.
