Its weird how many times this has happened. Its almost like growth at all cost isn't sustainable.

I feel like the popilation of vegas would respond to that much more positively than the italian senate.

I miss all the personal home pages. You could get a real sense of who somebody was based on what they chose to display. Maybe they had pictures of the favourite game or tv show, or their own little web diary. Now its all just santizied profile pages that have virtually zero room for creativity. It's too sterile now.

I've read that the sub in question was only rated for 1300 ft, and they were taking it on dives of up to 4000 ft. Unless the sub surfaced as part of a safety protocol, there is an exceedingly high probability that the sub imploded and killed everybody.

God i hope so. I miss being able to just pop the back off and change out my battery. It was great for sd and sim card slots too. I am quite excited for this

I'm new to the fediverse and im kinda happy that its so easy to defederate from the more over the top instances. I'm in favor of closing the door on those psychos too.

Agreed. More instances should defederate from anything related to Meta. Im here because a corporate entity utterly destroyed something I liked. I don't want that again.

This is a pretty shit deal tbh. Ooohh ad free browsing and some free pngs you can tack onto your avatar or comments.

It sure is convenient that the second they kill third party apps they push a subscription model for ad free service on their ad riddled, barely functioning app...

I think there already is one. There was a guy working for that company who was fired for whistleblowing after the ceo ignored his safety concerns, and now that employee is going after the company for wrongful termination.

That ceo knew it was dangerous but still decided to drag 4 other people to a watery grave

I just want to point out that starfleet actively oppresses certain groups of people (genetically modified races usually), ignores the needs of their border worlds while simultaneously demanding they adhere to federation laws, and their entire legal system is broken. A judge forced Riker to prosecute Data despite the obvious personal connections.

Star Trek is not as much of a socialist utopia as people like to pretend it is. Its definitely a more liberal society, but equality is not a given.

Actually the ceo fired the guy who told him the sub wasn't safe past 1300m

If an instance of lemmy becomes commercialized, other instances will just defederate it, cutting it off from like 90 percent of users and content

Im sure this tastes great, but my mind immediately thinks "pepto bismol soup"

I am the man with no name, Zapp Brannigan!

This is the big issue with growth investment or whatever the hell its called. Instead of being happy with a steady revenue, big companies have to always grow until they become completely unsustainable.

Yeah same. I did shop around a bit on other instances but i decided the general purpose one here was the most sensible for me.

I don't fully understand it, but I'll try to get used to it.

On android, there was already an app for lemmy called Jerboa. It's what im currently using. Its not the best atm but the option does exist.

Well, main-ish. They were still basically side characters to kirk, spock, and mccoy
