More important than who works there is who inherits Gabe’s ownership of the company. A new owner can completely change a company and drive out or fire anyone who doesn’t go along with the new direction. Look at what happened with twitter when Musk took over. Or his inheritors could take Valve public and introduce all the issues with that.

Bit hypocritical of the US when they themselves recently passed a divest-or-ban law against a speech platform citing foreign influence and also uses police to violently disrupt protests

Eylrid ,

By “celebrate” do they mean eulogize?

Eylrid ,

It’s both, really. It amplifies everything, both good and bad. There are a lot of amazing things that have come about because of the Internet, as well as a lot of awful shit. It’s easy to overlook the good stuff and only see the shit.

Planets and stars should become less dense, since they have less gravity pulling inward. Either way though it would cause major effects.

Being a politician is all about getting attention. The more outrageous the bill or the thing the bill is addressing the more attention. This bill will hopefully never pass, but here we are talking about it.

He didn’t want a video platform, he wanted to control twitter. Once he had it he had to figure out how to make money.

What journalist wouldn’t love a giant repository of short, easily digestible, up to the minute quotes, with built in attribution?

Chick-fil-A has a more or less normal drive through. You drive your car through and get the food at a standard pickup window. The people outside are taking orders on ipads, but not delivering food.

I can’t believe you’d do The Betty Hutton Show dirty like this. The nerve to think that Goldie’s Playground is better than the classic that is Goldie Goes Broke!

I lay my shirts flat on a side table. Much quicker than hanging or folding, and still prevents wrinkles. Socks, underwear, and jeans I don’t fold, but I separate into different piles that go in drawers and shelves.

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

It’s hard to provide something extra when all their content comes from users. They tried with redtube YouTube Red originals but those were pretty lame.

Eylrid ,

I admire their mission. Giving the power to the video creators is great. I’m all for coops. But, as a user I find it lacking. If you want to watch anything outside of educational videos and video essays you have to go elsewhere. It doesn’t have very good content discovery. I know creators don’t like chasing an algorithm, but as a viewer I like having recommendations based on what I watch.

I bought a one year membership, because I support what they are trying to do, but I rarely watch anything on it.

Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I’ve never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn’t put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.

It’s telling that pastors are the first people she wants to see what people are saying. Got to keep those sinners in line.

Civility is code for “stop complaining about how we treat you”. Jesse Gender has a pretty good video about civility politics (2hrs 21mins): youtu.be/-1TL9id26Ec

Similar thing with Jeff Bezos. His mom was a single teenage mother who went to night school to graduate highschool. His bio dad bailed. His stepdad was a young immigrant. They gave him $300,000 to start Amazon, but they worked their way up to the point where they could do it.

So we come to Lemmy where anyone can spin up an instance, collect our data, and sell it.

Sure, but because of federation other instances can collect your posts and vote data. Federation is the antithesis of privacy.

As someone who grew up in a conservative family in a religious town and is now liberal, there is a wide spectrum of bigots. Some of them would happily enact halocaust 2, and some of them just get nervous when they see a black person on the street at night. I have a number of family members that fall in that later category.

Yep, the loggers want the forests to keep producing trees
