You mean that dog killer lady and Nazi weirdo care about competition and data security?

Because the way the world worked changed a few months ago. Trump is immune and has pardon powers.

On a scale from 0 to 3 (out of 10), how surprised would you be to read that the DHS decided to purchase 250.000 cybertrucks, because they are bulletproof? Before you go to Google it - I made it up, but there is a 50% chance of it coming in the next weeks.

It will take Leon 20 minutes to shut down the whole agency claiming that they actually eat babies and people will just go with it.

What makes you think you would have read thought provoking books in that time? Was you YouTube time spent on thought-provoking videos? There’s plenty of those on the platform…

Their news cars are more expensive and more weird than the old ones, while the competition has been catching up, so it might be that, too…

So… “she’s just following orders”?

Same sentiment here.

First time, maybe people weren’t paying attention, maybe they wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe they really hated the Clinton dynasty, and to be fair he lost the popular vote by millions. Ok, you guys got screwed, learn the lesson and move on.

Second time, there was all the precedent: disastrous covid handling (hundreds of thousands of excess deaths), ruined economy, absolute international clown show, hiring his family, all the golf (at his properties), racism, sharpies, crowd sizes, all the testimonials of his incompetence from anyone working with him, his own VP not endorsing him… And the crimes. And the treason. And the porn star. And Project 2025. And not only he won again, but this time he got the popular vote. The American people made their bed, and instead of pillows they used a face eating leopard.

USB-C is the latest standard. Try buying a phone, mouse or headphones swith mini USB these days.

Wat.

I’d argue systemd is the opposite. It was so controversial that it made a bunch of init systems appear when before you had just good old sysV.

Cries in CEC.

It just needs a good text editor, is all.

Exactly, all info on lemmy is public, defederation would help neither with 3rd party cookie tracking (the real situation) nor with tracking on other instances (what the user imagined they are doing).

You would think, but seeing how people react to YouTube premium (at least on social media) I still have doubts.

Have you met people?

Introducing even a 0.49 charge per month would flood the front page of reddit and lemmy with “enshittification” rants for days. And 9 in 10 people would leave the platform, if not more.

You know that you are saying this on a platform with an active user base in the low 6 figures, right?

You know the meme “there’s dozens of us”?

I mean… either they introduce ads, or they start charging for the service.

VC funding only lasts so long, and they have bills to pay (and probably shares to sell).

Ads are targeted on the consumer, federating ads would be super bad PR, short lived and not at all effective.

You not only misinterpreted the description, but then you proposed a measure completely useless to either the real situation or your imagined one.

You did lemmy proud.
