I dust off my robe and wizard hat.

Plex is a great streaming alternative. Cancelling Netflix pays for the upgrade to gigabit Internet. Hard drives are cheaper now than ever. Usenet access remains safe and speedy. The DIY community for automation is thriving.

Is that the Jolly Roger coming in to port? Welcome back old friends.

Oh her boyfriend owns a bar that hosts LBGTQ+ events? This keeps getting better.

There is always a grift, I'd expect the charge to users to be probably 20-50% higher than the revenue from normal users.

These christians will drop their Pope before they drop their politics

Critical thinking. Consider the intent of the source.

Wait wait wait

The white South African guy whose family profited during because of apartheid is RACIST?

Are you sure about this?

Oh there'll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.

What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you're inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.

Who the fuck pays $30 to watch an online sex video?

Musk doesn't seem to understand the concept of a developmental environment prior to a production launch.

I find it more comfortable to contribute to Lemmy than to other sites. There seems to be actual discussion and opportunities to learn, which can be much harder to come across on the other platforms.

I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life. I'm steadily growing less happy about daily using their services and them holding all my info.

I'm open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I'm looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I'm too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.

Only if you're an idiot that compares the attempted genocide of a people to a leader ensuring trade routes remain open for businesses and a city's residents aren't traumatized by racist children that like to make noise.

Arnold wants everyone to be healthy regardless of their physical location.

They know this, that's the point, they want a biting dog that you can euthanize instead of the calm golden lab everyone will be upset with you for putting down

Two groundings in less than 5 years? Boeing is trading lives for share price. Hopefully the company dies as an example of corporate greed.

Wow, something to be said for someone with such a hateful response to an accusation, almost as if they're trying to prevent discussion by labelling any potential questioning of tactics as racist to be "judged harshly by the world". Gaslighting and projecting on full display here.

The tactics lose power when you see and understand them. Spread knowledge.

The stock is down 5.5% today. It's down 6% from a week ago.

The stock is up 0.5% from a month ago, and up a whopping 32% from 6 months ago.

It's down 50% from five years ago.

What I'm getting at is that this announcement has very little movement on the stock price overall. Unless these bosses were clearing out their inventory thinking this news would kill the company, its possible these sales were normal transactions.

Depending on the work and the contract, it may be the company burning a bridge. Specialized labour can be both difficult and expensive to find.

Elect a clown, get a circus

I'm astounded this business model somehow continues to exist.
