because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

And Elon is both.

I didn’t understand the meme I responded to to be exclusively talking about piracy.

I’m not saying that the scarcity of digital goods isn’t bullshit, but it’s rarely what keeps people poor.

Wait, wasn’t the whole point of climate change that we use more resources than the ecosystem can replenish?

Imo it’s first past the post. When there are only two choices, it doesn’t matter how insane one choice is, as long as you’re against the other, you’ll go with the the first choice. Furthermore, the dichodomy favors ‘extremism’, while hindering nuance.

I honestly don’t understand why people are downvoting the media bias bot. From what I’ve seen, it is pretty accurate. Is it that people see the comment count go up and expect a human comment to interact with, only to be disappointed and then downvote the bot?

If so, I’d suggest Lemmy/Mbin to not could comments made by bot accounts towards the total comment count.

It’s great to see that Sanders is so popular. It’s sad to see that politicians of his caliber are so rare that if he ever retires, his absence will be painful.

Here’s a lil’ secret for ya: Affecting change requires you to apply continued pressure. Only when single voices become a chorus will the powerful listen. So yes, Greta is saying what we all you already knew. But that’s a good thing. The more say it, the bigger the pressure.

Don’t say the big R-word or they’ll remove your post. That’d be POLITICS! Even if it is directly related to what you’re talking about.

“You are undermining men controlling their wives family values!”

Counter argument: The maintainers could “easily” relocate to a country that is not currently conducting an invasion to enlarge its territory.

Is the megathread outdated? It has entries that both don’t work anymore and were already removed in earlier versions.

He is just so fucking weak-minded. He got cyber-bullied by Putin. He turned into Trump’s lapdog. And the next day he gotta fire random employees of his to feel in control again. Piss baby aptly describes his state of mind.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don’t pay.

Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.

I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

As long as it means they can control others, they are happy.

I think Lemmy/Mbin would benefit from ‘moderation pools’. The basic idea is that, if you subscribe to or join a moderation pool, your instance will automatically copy any moderation action taken on content your instance also hosts. This would allow multiple single-admin instances to moderate even during off-hours of any single admin.
