  • That does sound pretty bad. I guess it really highlights the power of a monopoly. Businesses may rely on each other, but if one relies more, then they pay all costs due to necessity while the other pays nothing because they can easily outlast the pain.

  • Unless I've misunderstood the law, it doesn't hurt small engines, because small search engines don't have to pay.

  • Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky

    Jump

  • I've never see anyone respond with hostility to any 'how to' question on mastodon. What you've described sounds totally unlike anything I've seen there. So if you have a link to your discussion, I'd be interested in seeing how that happened.

    Jump

  • joinmastodon.org (the 'official' way to get join mastodon), has a default server for its join button. To me this looks very similar to the default server that appears when you try to create a bluesky account. So... I guess that's not a barrier after all.

  • Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X

    Jump

  • No quantity of counter-content can overcome the person who controls what posts are actually seen by other users. Staying on X can never lead to any kind of balance. Staying there only serves to prop-up the false sense of legitimacy.

  • I'm sorry that reading long posts is hard for you. But don't take it out on others. You can say that it was too long without the added abrasiveness.

    And here, you're telling me that my opinion is meaningless. Why do you do that? Almost everyone here has similar values and goals; and yet you're lashing out at everyone, creating conflict and division. Isn't that the opposite of what you want?

  • You're saying that people me stuff and that I insisted on whoever... who exactly do you think I am? I haven't insisted on anything like what you're talking about.

    In any case, I think you'll find that in the previous election the fascist leader did in fact lose. That does count as a defeat for them, doesn't it?

  • Hey, the Earth won't last forever. Eventually all life will end. So maybe we should just let it all end asap. Keeping it going is nothing to brag about since we'll lose in the end anyway. Is that right?

    Or maybe we should make the best of the time we have. Maybe we should push back against fascism and corruption and destruction, even if our victories don't last forever. What do you think? Is it worth defeating a fascist leader once even if fascism can still eventually return, or is it all just a waste of effort and we should just roll over and die?

  • edit: for the downvoters, how can I take anyone seriously if they’re not going to sit and defend their opinion.

    You're mocking someone for posting their reasoning in detail, and then getting upset when people downvote you without giving reasons. What do you want?

  • Sanders: Democratic Party ‘has abandoned working class people’

    Jump

  • That could force a change in the DNC, but the change would be to push them further to the right. The issue is that the right-wing party won the election. They got more than 50% of the total votes. So the democrats aren't going to see splitting their own base as a viable pathway to victory. If a left-wing faction splitters off, then the DNC will be forced to try to capture more votes on the other side instead.

    If the democrats won the election then we'd be in a situation where we can talk about pushing them further left. But when they lose, that's not really an option. (Most of these strategy problems disappear with ranked choice voting... but I doubt the current government has any interest in pushing for that kind of change!)

  • X's supreme dictator openly campaigns for Trump. He even promised to pay millions of dollars to help people vote for Trump. So yeah, I reckon that probably had an effect.

  • Mozilla Foundation lays off 30% staff, drops advocacy division | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Yeah, and although it will be painful for Mozilla in the short term - it would be a good outcome. It was always bad that Mozilla's main source of funding was from their most powerful competitor. It's an obvious conflict of interest. And obvious way to skew decision making. ... But that money is just so addictive.

    There will be some pretty severe withdrawal symptoms if the money gets taken away, but everyone will be healthier in the long run... unless the overpaid CEO continues to suck in all the remaining money and leaves nothing for the people actually doing the work. That would be bad. In that case, if the corporate structure chokes the company to death, I suppose we'd be hoping for Ladybird, or something like it to take Firefox's place.

  • This is how much sugar you are [possibly] eating.

    Jump

  • I love how none of these comments account for fiber, something you won’t get from granulated sugar but which you will absolutely get from any actual fruit, which at least one of these yogurts actually references in its label.

    It's definitely true that eating fruit is a very healthy way to consume sugar. But the amount of actual fruit in those fruit yogurts is pitifully small. Advertising aside, it's not like eating an fresh piece of fruit; and it is not why the yogurt has so much sugar it in.
