Damn near every tech company and major utility provider has no way of growing aside from squeezing.

No matter where you turn you will be getting squeezed, and it'll just get worse every year that regulations don't catch up.

And if the U.S. has it's way, institutional regulation will be a thing of the past as a new wave of unchecked corporate oligarchy begins. And since the U.S's biggest export is crazy, it'll just spread....

Making the future more grim.

Oof, this is definitely a:

Every lie incurs a debt to the truth

Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.

What a great way to dismiss an entire problems based that affects our society. It's easier to just hand wave it away as someone else's problem than to actually consider it...

When a problem becomes systematic it's now a societal and cultural problem and not an individual responsibility problem. Individual responsibility isn't working so it's now down to the society this is occurring in to solve the systematic problem in a systematic way.

That's how almost everything works

Too bad this doesn't affect them because they managed to get themselves an exception to the rule...

Anything powered by a combustion engine is an exception.

Wow, that rep has no business being a representative when they can't even understand what separation of church and state means. And somehow are intellectually challenged enough to believe that being a "Christian state" means the law no longer applies...?

Wtf

I calles this ages ago. The federated nature is counter to community growth and discoverability.

Lemmy as a platform needs support built in for this problem.

It's also painful that servers upgrade lemmy versions and suddenly they are unavailable on apps. Or old versions similarly break.

Because shitting on other people, belittling them, attacking them personally, and being verbally abusive isn't?

This isn't technology news.... It's business news, and Elon spam.

Just look at the comment section how many comments are actually related to technology?

Can we not put the bar on the floor?

Many many hours is a massive understatement.

Thousands and thousands of hours is more appropriate

To be fair, the content quality on Lemmy has been about the same from what I've seen.

Bots all over the place, low-effort quips instead of discussions bubbling up, lots and LOTS of low-quality armchairing, personal attacks and flaming instead of actual discussion....etc

It was good for a month or so during the reddit 3rd party app purge, but quickly went downhill.
