While I agree in principle, the response from the CEO, was: only like 5% of people we give money to are racist Nazi bigots “controversial”, let’s agree to disagree and move on.
Which is massive narcissitic, non-empathic behaviour. It’s giving me less “you don’t matter because soon you’ll be dead”-vibes and more “I am literally unable to understand your concerns and empathise with you”-vibe, which to me personally is much more damning.
Make use of that second link.
I get that participation is important, but why does it feel like google is outsourcing good, sane management decisions?
I agree about the liability part. My interest was piqued during the so called Twitter files, when reporting was something like the bosses of twitter, Facebook and Wikipedia sat in a weekly (or was it monthly?) meeting, where they were told what controversial topics to “tamp down” on. I found it very weird, especially since I cannot imagine how one “tamps down” on a wikipedia article?
I think the much harder part is how would you go about democratising a website?
I switched to /e/ a while ago, they have a feature called advanced privacy. commercial Lemmy clients like Connect and Raccoon have trackers embedded and are blocked automagically. ^I use Jerboa btw^
Might be - on the other hand, /e/ already supports f-droid out of the box, so there may be a possibility just google play will be going away…
Look at postmarket OS. Unless you are really lucky, texting, calling, wifi, etc is not or barely working.
The problem is we haven’t figured out a mechanism to properly punish the asshole, because queue jumping almost always works in their favor.
Plaster Lathe. My old nemesis. Probably with reed or peat for stabilization, so it explodes everywhere once you touch it… Wish you the best of Luck.
Also: napping is important at our age.
As someone who electrically renovated houses without beeing an electrician. If you find an electrician who is willing to work with you: do a full planning of the house. (What lines go where etc) ask them to go over this, and pay them for their time. If all goes well this will cost them an evening or three (depending how many flaws they find in your design). Do the wiring and drilling raw sockets yourself. Buy the top sockets wholesale, then have the electrician make a fixed price for installing sockets and wiring your fuse box , it will be much cheaper.
Isn’t it a thing to put the words “placeholder” or “lorem ipsum” somewhere in the photos? This seems like a really bad process…
I think what’s missing is the author of pulseaudio and systemd among other “modern” Linux tech (I.e. adopted by many popular distros) is a Microsoft employee.
Car centric infrastructure is a bitch.
I, too get blocked by certain sites. I think it’s a configuration thing, where it does not like my combination of uBlock/NoScript, even when I explicitly allow their scripts…
Well the fungus can creep up your leg into your genitals, but for men this is much less painful, let alone deadly …
Well be advised it may not be as easy anymore. Cause I’m the computer person in my friend group I recently switched an fp5 to /e/. It has some kind of firmware security built in where you can install only a system with the same or higher patch level. The system installed was at a higher patch.level than the /e/-system available, which gave me headaches.
Results may vary.
Uh yeah, was referring to a possible translation problem, or maybe not. Either way I chuckled and hopefully you did, too.
Well, maybe it got lost in translation, but maybe not… either way I chuckled.
Red Candle Games said that “in the aftermath of the incident, some still possess different speculations about Devotion. As regretful as the incident was, we have to bear its full consequence.
I don’t know if this was an honest mistake, but… 😂
Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.
plus it’s their CEO, or their community manager in their name, directly addressing the questioner and going “you don’t understand, under our big tent approach only 5% of people we give money to are controversial, let’s not address your concerns and move on.”
