This meme seems reductive. Mandatory protection would also cover a single-payer health system.

There's a difference between protesting poor regulation of mandatory services (ie healthcare) vs a libertarian, "It's my right to die in a car crash because I don't want to wear a seatbelt"

It’s fun to say that artificial intelligence is fake and sucks — but evidence is mounting that it’s real and dangerous

Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.

  • They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
  • They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky

Repeat ad-nauseum

Zero clicks on the video. Screw both of them.

Also feels like Mediate is subtly spreading Candace Owens videos by embedding it instead of just a screenshot or a link to another page to get the info if desired

I'm preaching to the choir here on Lemmy but I'm glad that I made the jump to Linux last year

Sometimes it's hard to feel sorry for Apple users given the amount of repeated nickeling and diming they go through,yet make excuses for (as seen in the comments). Definitely shades of battered woman syndrome

"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."

Hard to feel sorry for anyone actively putting money in Tesla/Musk's pocket @ this point

"Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision,"

That's a bar.

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.

This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?

I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.

I’m in California. I have no power here.

I think the point is moreso that the party you support typically is indifferent about minorities/LGBT/immigrants/poor people, etc.

This seems antithetical to the morality we are taught as children (ie: the Golden Rule) which is why people question how you generally survive in that type of relationship when both people seem to have blinders on regarding empathy for others.
