Holy shit.

So much of what she says is not just horrifying (seriously, feeling the need to hospitalize yourself for a day off), but also straight up illegal.

Retribution, hostile work environment, straight up harassment, not to mention evidence of "constructive dismissal". (I'm using US terms but I know these have equivalent laws in Canada)

I've had some pretty bad jobs that have destroyed my mental health, but none of them come close to what Madison is describing here and I am so happy that this is coming out. This is the sort of thing people need to know about LTT and LMG.

That's pretty much been the entire conservative movement's MO for 30 years now.

GN also literally said "auction" not "sold" in his first video, so Linus's response was doubly stupid.

SMH damn kids don't even know about the before times when leaves didn't despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10

It was doubling every day. They were scared of day 15 where it would've been 780mil for the day and over 1.562billion total.

Every day doubling is a really good consequence, the fact that it only took twitter 3 days to comply once the penalty started actually hitting should confirm that

The only one giving decent controlled responses here was, as I sort of expected, the new CEO. Everyone else I got the fake apology vibe, especially from Yvonne.

Terran has his work cut out for him, and I don't really blame him for taking 6 weeks to be a fly on the wall (it's generally good to learn the current process before coming in and making massive changes) but this week has not been good for LMG and we will see if he manages to make something good from this experience.

Especially things like the Madison situation. I could see him being unaware of it until now, but now it's time to address that as well.

One minute our content (through the API) is "very valuable" and "needs to be monetized". The next we're just "noise".

Handing over data from one account with 6+ months warning is usually pretty easy actually.

The fact that it took a fine doubling every day to get them to comply is the more interesting fact.

It isn't 3 days, as you imply. It's multiple quarters.

Going to download my data tomorrow and delete my own 11 years worth.

Sad day, but also very cathartic.

I mean I completely agree with you in that the semantic bullshit is bullshit, my point was that Linus wasn't even correct in his attempt at BS because GN didn't use the word "sold". GN used the same word that Linus is attempting to say is totally different.

Mostly I think it started as a show of how much reddit relies on the free labor while giving reddit an out, but as time goes on I'm inclined to believe it's also because mods know that if they "abandon" the subreddit, the admins will just open the subreddit up to new moderators a la r/redditrequest

There are already subs that have had users request being put on as mod despite barely becoming inactive.

She has no memories and got abducted as a child. Of course she has issues.

Hmm I think you've convinced m-... wait a minute

A surprise to everyone except anybody who listened to American intelligence agencies who were broadcasting (very loudly I might add) exactly when and how it would happen.

Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I'm back and more active than ever.

You wouldn't download a car more RAM would you?

Think of lemmy as like an email (except everyone can see it). You have an email address "steakfries" and the domain you registered your email on "@lemmy.one" so if I want to email you I have to enter in @[email protected]

I can "email" you from any domain, be it Gmail, yahoo, my own server, etc and you can likewise respond.

I start paying local news after about 1 article per day, and usually more like $20/month not the £10 they're asking for.

Pay up or stop expecting them to give you unlimited service for free.

Hell, I'm paying my local union paper $25/month to support their strike against their corporation and I hardly read their stuff at all.

Another thing not being considered by all the "judge doesn't know anything" crowd is that they're failing to consider that this case isn't really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

It's about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.
