Apparently, Google's new AI-based search is quite honest.
Reason number one: it’s a publicly traded American company.

Mozilla gotta do something.
And based on their actions on recent years, that something is probably going to be: 1) firing more developers, and 2) increasing the compensation of their CEO.

Google lays off contractors who unionized last month | Engadget

When working conditions are getting worse and people are being fired, that’s when you need a union more than ever.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?
You work to strengthen unions and take down capitalism.

How Twitter lost its place as the global town square
Reply in thread
You say Twitter didn’t lose anything, and then spend a paragraph saying how Elon gained something from it. Elon is not Twitter.
Twitter lost a lot.

Why is the legal system so expensive?
Reply in thread
Exactly. If you can’t afford an expensive lawyer, the US wants you to lose.
Actually, it’s not only that they want you to lose. It wants the entire system to be so expensive that you can’t even afford to go to court and lose. You have to settle, and don’t have a lot of power determining the terms.

Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
This is so American...
"Let me send an SMS, while I ride my horse to go to my bank and do other things that people used to do in 1870."
"Oh, their SMS color is different! I dislike people with a different color than me."

Hundreds of thousands of vote-by-mail requests erased from Florida's system

I don’t know why the US still doesn’t have a simple and permanent voting registration. Or better yet, to not even have to register to vote.

Nope.
You’re consuming too much American anti-labor propaganda.
I remember a propaganda a few years back that European countries with decent unemployment compensation made people leave their jobs to stay at home spending their welfare on cupcakes. But these American fake news don’t even try to hide their how American they are, because cupcakes aren’t a thing in many European countries.

Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
Reply in thread
I heard of Bending Spoons because I read an article about an unknown company buying mobile apps, raising prices to insane values, and milking existing customers. Then using that profit to buy another app and repeat.
Than I forgot about them until they bought Evernote.

I am OKAY and STABLE, please believe me
That’s the kind of stupid meme that make people lie to their therapists. It’s already, by far, the number one reason preventing people from actually fixing their problems in therapy.

memes allowed?
Please, let’s not allow memes.
Any community that allows memes will quickly become 95% worthless memes and 5% useful content.

[News, Call for Action] The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
Reply in thread
Not because they care about the government. Because they care about hackers.
Creating encryption backdoors for the government means creating encryption backdoors for hackers. Because once encryption is weakened, it’s weakened.

Walking has plummeted across America
Reply in thread
As someone not from the US, the idea of non-walkable cities is so alien to me.
Before learning to speak English and reading about the US, I wouldn’t even imagine it’s a thing.

Please be "Sync for Lemmy" and not a "different" app using the same name
It should be Lemmy Sync. Because Sync for Reddit was originally called Reddit Sync, if I’m not mistaken.
The name only changed because some time ago Reddit started with arbitrary rules for third party apps, even deciding how they should be called.

Israel thanks US for 'bold leadership' following veto in UNSC
That kind of power over the UN shouldn’t exist.
That’s why some countries are talking about creating an alternative UN. That schism can’t be good.

The dish washing machine does it for you.
It would be like vacuuming your house by yourself before your Roomba turns on.

Twitter Faces $500 Million Lawsuit for Allegedly Not Paying Employee Severance
Reply in thread
It’s the US. If there is a country that hates its citizens more than this one, I haven’t heard of it yet.
Any time they can take things from you and give it to companies, they will.
So it shouldn’t really be a surprise.
But if you forget to pay $1 to a company, all hell breaks loose.

And if person A refuses to accept person B for who they are, that doesn’t define person B. It defines person A as an asshole.
Agree. And that sentence is not only valid for gender, it's for any other cultural label (like genders are).
If I say that I'm a gamer, or a fan of star wars, or whatever, and you're spending your energy trying to convince the world I'm not what I said... it says much more about you than about me.
