  • But the donations are only necessary because of inflated salaries. It's like saying we have to pay this pastry chef because the pastry chef loves to eat their own cake. They're just feeding themselves.

    The cost of server infrastructure is comparatively tiny so if they'd run it lean it'd have enough cash to last ages already. Also posting a banner on their site with massive reach isn't exactly rocket surgery.

    I know there are worse things but I strongly dislike nonprofits wasting donation money.

  • on the one hand they make some valid points on the other hand it's a little disgusting how much wikipedia execs get payed and how sweaty they get when they worry about having to pay content moderators. currently they just pocket most of the donations they get but with increased running costs that would get harder.

    don't get me wrong, wikipedia is an important project and they deserve fair compensation but grabbing $700k per year for managing it seems a bit steep eh? it's not like they're forging new business strategies and conquering markets. they have a very simple concept and just keep it running. a post it note on the ceo door with "keep going lads" on it might outperform them and save some money.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • If you look a bit closer you'll see so much AI slop on reddit these days that it's hard to use. It boggles my noggle that the most obvious AI generated engagement bait gets posted on places like AITA including the classic Chad Jippity dashes and people engage with it.

    Chatgpt, pretend you're an abused woman. Your husband has cut you open and is currently wearing your intestines as a necklace but you're not sure if you're overreacting so you ask online. Put all the reddit karma in a bag once you're done.

    Fuck that shit.

  • Lara Croft games are the nightmare of any real archaeologist, biologist and paleontologist.

    Jump

  • Put mercenaries on the list. They get hired to guard some excavation. A chill job the recruiter told them.

    Lara overhears them talk about going home to their families as she sneaks up and brutally murders them with her ice axe one by one until the ruins are flooded with blood. It's all self defense.

  • Nobody takes a train from Germany to France

    Jump

  • Many short distance flights are business related but as someone who was working in an international corporation I can tell you there's plenty of business monkeys who fly simply for the prestige of it. They fly to attend meetings that could've been an email or a call just so they can pretend they're hot shit.

    Massively disappointing.

  • E. coli outbreak sickened more than 80 people, but details didn’t surface | Food safety inspections are being scaled back and the public not notified after an investigation into E. coli contamination

  • Move fast and break things is a motto that works fine when you're a silicon valley fuckboi talking about shitty apps. Less so when it's kids that are being broken. Then again it'll work well for an angry mob going from billionaire door to billionaire door.

  • Cyclist sues New York Police Department over "malicious and outrageous" fines for jumping red lights, arguing officers are getting traffic law wrong

    Jump

  • It makes sense to a certain degree. Even lawyers are specialized and don't know all the entirety of the law.

    This means that police has to be trained and supervised more because they essentially don't know what they're doing.

  • Really went too far by yelling "it's a small one!" instead of the customary "oink, oink!"

  • School director accused of being ‘ringleader of makeshift child fight club’

    Jump

  • That headline is giving them too much credit. They merely let kids fight and essentially yelled "CRIPPLE FIGHT! KICK HIM IN THE BALLS!" like Cartman would instead of stopping it when they saw it.

    A "ringleader of a child fight club" would need to organize fights and betting, make sure everyone keeps their mouth shut. You know, the basics. You gotta train your champs a bit so you get a good show going. I'm not saying I'm sad about it but as far as child fight clubs go they didn't really have anything going. If there was a child fight club union they wouldn't qualify is all I'm saying.

    Seriously though fuck those kinds of people.

    Boeing begins flying back planes refused by Chinese airlines

    Jump

  • Damn, that's not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.

    It's like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.
