Indeed, although I would say it’s a more broad lack of cognitive ability. Low empathy, low intelligence and low capacity for abstract and critical thought. All of these make them easy to manipulate.

Sadly, some of them have issues so severe that they will even reject their own children.

Luckily, this father was capable of letting the love of his child overcome.

Sometimes I think that someone should start some kind of religion to help manipulate them in a way that they love their children, neighbours and love peace.

Then I think, that Jesus dude already tried, but with mixed results.

Conservatives have a deep need to feel superior to others.

The cruelty is the point.

If poor people have happy and fulfilling lives, then they can’t feel better than them.

Indeed, sounds like a legitimate win to me.

It’s basically a FOSS Chromebook.

This is true, but not everything that gets promoted gets popular. A lot also flunks.

Taylor Swift just happens to hit a sweet spot that appeals to a lot of people.

And music has a self-reinforcing spiral. People listen to music from artists that they like, and which their peers like.

So a popular artist could theoretically release an album without any promotion and it would still become popular, just because people will be curious to listen to the new songs from an artist that they already like (of course, record labels will always heavily promote work from their popular artists to make them even more popular).

Because it’s collective punishment and they want to maximize suffering.

But that will never be officially said. They are well trained to know what is legal and what is not.

So the official reason will always be that they thought she was a terrorist. Some combination of not being able to see properly in the dust, being under fire from her general direction and terrorists dressing like civilians.

PSA: The old Opera guys have a new browser, Vivaldi.

It’s quite nice and I use it daily.

According to your link, he is still a minister.

So does that make him not a minister (an ex-minister?).

If he was suspended and not sacked, then I think he is still minister, but I am no expert on Israeli politics.

Corpreddit.

Lemmy feels very much like the old, old Reddit. When it was mostly IT folk and tech savvy people (talking about 2005-2010).

I think reddit peaked around 2015 or so. A much broader audience had found it. There was interesting content from a lot of people.

Now, it still has a lot of good content. But it is definitely past its peak

Way too often, news sites primarily rely on twitter.

For example, yesterday I wanted to know which countries voted against the UN resolution. I used Google, found a news site with the info, but it was an embedded tweet with an image.

And to enlarge the image, I had to click on it and it opened the tweet on Twitter.

Same is also true for a lot of videos on what’s happening in Gaza or Ukraine.

Thanks, today I learned.

How do Calyx and Graphene compare?

I see Calyx does support Fairphone.

The Fairphone 4 supports /e/.

It seems graphene is limiting itself to Pixel devices. The developer is also mostly a one man show, so I don’t think he has the capacity to support many devices. He’s probably just busy keeping up with Pixel devices as-is.

What I would like to know is, how do /e/ and GrapheneOS compare.

Can’t really find info on that.

Up until a few weeks ago, it seemed these bots were mostly absent on Lemmy.

But recently, I have noticed they have arrived here, too.

I fully agree with your analysis.

You are literally contradicting yourself.

And it’s childish to downvote someone who is actually responding to you.

I’m not going to waste my time on someone who can’t be reasonable and civil.

I have no disagreement on this argument.

But C-suite compensation is not a significant part of prices.

Energy prices, tax, labour costs and the cost of capital (i.e. returns to shareholders and creditors) are what drives prices.

The sad fact of the matter is… math

A corporation might have 10 C-level guys dividing $50 million amongst themselves and 10.000 workers earning $70K, which costs about $100K due to overheads (health insurance, retirement, etc). Together, that’s a billion, which is 20x more than the C level guys.

The C level guys aren’t the big expense, not by a long shot.

Labour, government and shareholders divide most of the earnings amongst themselves.

For the record, I do think we need to tax the wealthy more and the workers less.
