That's stupid.

The main problem with lemmy now is adoption, there isn't a critical mass of users yet.

When users see the stats without lemmy.world, they'll be discouraged from joining. Add to that the issues with federation and the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.

Way to alienate potential users.

I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of "oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook... But what is it and how do I install it?" and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I'm not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really "just works". I have had my share of frustrations, but it's usually with stuff that's comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don't like that I'm giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don't churn my own butter, I don't build my own car, I don't want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

"Women are the best, folks. Many people say that I hate women but I really don't. Trust me when I say I love women's rights. I love their right to dress sexy, I love their right to wear bikinis."

If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself

This just means they're a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

“It’s close. You can’t change Democrats’ minds no matter what. They’ve got a one-track mind, and that’s it,” he said.

Bridy called Trump a “working class guy like us.”

Am I reading The Onion or what?!

Tipping culture is broken. We should end the actual practice of tipping and bake tips into the actual prices of stuff.

You wish.

If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.

I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I've now successfully monetized clean air.

Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn't work as a loss leader because it's so different from all other products.

at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we'll all be living in a true dystopia

 
 

Bill Maher has delayed returning to his HBO talk show during the ongoing strike by writers and actors, a decision that follows similar pauses over the weekend by “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

Maher last week said he would bring his show back into production, but on Monday said he’ll wait because talks are scheduled to begin between producers and writers on Wednesday.

 

Alaska Airlines, American and United could all be disrupted as air crew demand fairer share of vast profits

 

"average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989"

 

As part of his Labor Day message to workers in the United States, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday re-upped his call for the establishment of a 20% cut to the workweek with no loss in pay—an idea he said is "not radical" given the enormous productivity gains over recent decades that have resulted in massive profits for corporations but scraps for employees and the working class.

"It's time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay," Sanders wrote in a Guardian op-ed as he cited a 480% increase in worker productivity since the 40-hour workweek was first established in 1940.

"It's time," he continued, "that working families were able to take advantage of the increased productivity that new technologies provide so that they can enjoy more leisure time, family time, educational and cultural opportunities—and less stress."
