Protection from universes beyond crap

If the strippers name is jfk, you wouldn’t use a comma. The sentence would be “we invited the stripper JFK, and Stalin.”

While an april fools joke, this would actually be a real good learning tool

It seems lemmy has discovered bob katter. A comedy goldmine.

This is a deep cut. Love it

Boycotts work in luxury markets with strong competition. Necessity markets with highly concentrated monopolies? No chance. Without legislation to protect consumers, they are powerless to defend themselves against the greed and exploitation of corporate interests.

Cursor. But yes. HOMM3

Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.

This could be worth a try… I don’t usually boil (extract brewer), but could boil/pasturise it first before putting in fermentor I suppose. Would maybe just come out slightly salty?

What would the fat do?

That’s my understanding as well, never understood its appeal as a social platform, tried to use it for a few months but it’s shouting into the void and loudest voice wins. Tis a silly place.

Maybe relevant 10 years ago, but not anymore. Hell, most games run better with Proton now, no background telemetry crap.

What do you mean by “hopbursting”?

Bandcamp is great. Fuck corporate labels who prevent artists from releasing their music privately on the platform. It’s an abhorrent business practice.

I am hopeful that a sizable chunk of people are smart enough to see the writing on the wall with corporate owned media and will inevitably follow to the non-corporate-controlled places (like the fediverse model). The danger will be the model falling over as the temptation to centralise, control, and exploit becomes higher. The lemmy model only works if there isn’t a dominate server with a large proportion of content right? What happens if lemmy.world gets big then just decides to de-federate? It’s just reddit all over again.

Anywhere for people to browse pay-for-access jellyfin servers?

Now go deeper down that rabbit hole. What are you actually referring to when you say the red apple has the property of every colour except red? What other properties does this apple have? How are you determining the boundaries of “apple” from it’s surrounding environment? Are you suggesting that there is a ‘reality’ that is different from that which we perceive? If so, what does that even mean if we are not able to engage with it? How would it be any different from say, a dream world? Here’s some interesting starting points: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/color/

Greedy capitalists believe line must always go up. They will sacrifice every moral principle to their invisible hand god.
