If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class
It irks me when rich people will just pay the fine rather than following the law. Example: Parking in handicap spots and not caring about a $250 fine. It is like paying $5 parking fee for low income drivers.
Finland actually has speeding fines proportional to your income! In 2002, a Finnish millionaire was fined €103,000 (over $100,000 USD at the time) for going 75 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. (47mph in a 32mph zone)

The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account, and I’m here. I still go there, but spend minutes rather that hours. I tried Hacker News, but some posts are really technical. I hope this is a new home.

Are you threatening me?
I think guys would understand what women feel in alleys if they were told this: Imagine you are new in prison alone in a shower and there are three guys (each able to easily overpower you) that say “I like your smile”.

I think your problem is that you think that something will be taken away. Try to think in terms of the giving. Steve is not going to have anything taken away. Someone will have access to guitars that wouldn’t otherwise. Steve will be fine.

Some countries have speeding fines set to a percentage of your pre-tax income. A student is hurt as much as a CEO. This should be the same.

If you see a bunch of otherwise normal people with the same odd behavior then you are probably seeing the effects of a marketing campaign.

Thanks, so it seems like those apps that were going to be charged for the API have a place to transition to. Nice!

I just came from Reddit, and I hear a lot about Sync. Anyone willing to let me know what it is and how it is important to Lemmy?

If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

I am new here and I don’t even know what an instance is, how to find one for me or why you are mentioning HGTV.

There is no taking away. Someone will have access to guitars that wouldn’t otherwise. Someone somewhere let a great player hear a guitar, see how it’s played, maybe even gave them their first guitar. it’s about giving not taking away.
