I am an enthusiast of Tech, gaming, food, culture, and all interesting things.
You can label it as a trendy new tech term, but it is the age old yes-manism that I have watched eat up tech executives and CEOs that I have worked with.
Really normal behavior, nothing to see here.
What are you talking about? I can't find anything to back this up, but I am curious. Their about page claims they are funded by patreon donations, and doesn't mention cloudflare anywhere.
Is it just that they use cloudflare services for traffic control, or they host on cloudflare? Especially if it is the former, that is pretty inane.
Is it a better deal after the SAG-AFTRA aggreement?
For me, honestly, their windowing system is terrible. I hate that it's design is being adopted by windows 11. I'm just going to stick with KDE and windows 10 rip off kde.
Other than that, it seems like a fine bsd derived os. I used to like MacBook hardware, but it feels like build quality has taken a nosedive in recent years. Smthat was the only reason I would consider getting a Mac, and I would probably install Linux in it anyway.
I do use Linux, but it isn't quite there with gaming (although it is getting there). That is the only thing keeping me on windows 10 on the desktop. Every other kernel in my household is Linux.
I hate windows 11, so I will be making the full switch soon I guess.
Please take this BS to another lemmy instance. Its going to be a lot of people viewing by all who don't agree with this a-scientific nonsense and will just downvote it.
I tried to get one since it was 30 bucks, so I'm not too surprised this is how they operated. They are locking down jindles real hard too. Probably going to make a lot of ewaste.
"Hey, we know we are going to miss a lot, but that is a sacrifice we are willing to make."
They really need to ban corporate lobbying.
Remarkable looks cool, but I was talking about a dedicated e-reader. They probably won't bother because their differentiator is the writing.
There needs to be one that is kindle adjacent, ru s linux, and comes with a ton of selections from project gutenberg, selling a little bit above cost. Thats the only way I could see this working.
Just an open source e-ink device with the build quality of a Kindle. Nothing fancy.
This is the whole point of federation, having multiple instances, and being open source. It's also why a bunch of the people on here are Linux heads.
Keep on mind that lemmy isn't owned by a single corporation ir organization. It is a bunch of individually owned instances that talk to each other. This means that if you own an instance, you have contr of how it is moderated, but you have to balance that freedom with making your instance a place other instances will have to connect to. Its very democratic.
This goes all the way to the source code, which is open. So, even if the devs try to change it and exert more control, it could be forked.
Of course, you could still be a doomer and say something could come along and ruin it. But, it's at least better than private, venture funded internet platforms on paper.
Enough money can make you think anything is true.
In politics, you can't really. Especially left wing politics.
Harlan didn't even bother to go through a 501c3 and try to hide it. Could have fine that, but he clearly wanted to do some weird "I own you" stuff. From Cornell's perspective, an outsider politician who needs cash, it probably does seem unfair that he has to give a major contribution back. But he does. Unless he wants to be associated with Clarence Thomas.
This comment is really funny. I loved.
I guess I will see you in the other side of Cornell's glorious revolution.
I feel kinda bad. Cornell got played like a godamn fiddle. Doesn't deserve this.
Right. That is why I am saying: beocme anonymous now before google demands your identity to watch videos. That is where I believe this is headed.
Kind of amazing to hear Israel or the US described as a belligerent in this conflict, given the events of October 7th. It's pretty plain that publishing propaganda like this is the aim of Al Jazeera.
Leftists see a legitimate opportunity to call out legitimate human rights abuses and horrible genocide being perpetrated by a right wing movement, but just calling it out isn't enough. Instead, the heinous action of terrorists have to be justified as the fulfillment of a historical materialism narrative that is of itself rooted in defending a colonialist Arab empire that committed it's own fair share of genocide.
Israel-Palestine truly is the place where western politics goes to die. A problem that remains unsolvable because of everyone's refusal to abandon their own ideological biases. So the region just devolves into two groups slaughtering each other. Going to lose some internet points for this take, but leftism won't save us.
