You missed a very important one, fix the main reason billionaires don't pay any tax:

Using your unrealised gains (e.g. shares) as collatoral to take out loans should be considered realising those gains and thus subject to capital gains tax

Are you... raw dogging the internet without an ad blocker? You poor soul

The studies are from 2018 and 2020, "new study" in the post title is a complete lie

That's cool, take the good part of Brave, leave behind the villainous CEO and dodgy crypto scams

This is lovely and wholesome, but you're not the type of person the post is about.

Edit: sorry I just realised my comment was kinda glib, so let me elaborate. You didn't specify but I assumed you approached those women with a friendly air, having a genuine desire to have a conversation with them as equals, and said something like "oh I love that album, have you listened to it?" Putting yourself in their shoes, compare that to a guy who approaches them aggressively, having a deep seated resentment for all women, and lashes out with "pretending you like that band huh? Prove it then, name 5 of their songs!"

Defederation is a horrible solution to that problem imo. It would mean no other user on this instance could see any of their content, just because you don't like some of it. Worse, it cuts off all the users on that instance from all content on this instance. You'll just create fragmentation and make things worse for everyone imo.

This problem only exists for you because you're browsing All. The obvious solution is to just subscribe to the communities you're interested in. There are plenty of good ways to discover communities and stay up to date on new ones without using All. All really means ALL content, that means there's going to be stuff you don't like, and that's definitely not a good reason for defederation.

Long term I'm sure that a) as Lemmy grows, All will fill up with more mainstream stuff and you won't see so much weird niche content, and b) there'll be more advanced filtering/blocking tools so that you can do All but choose which instances to include/exclude

Holy crap... slashdot still exists??

Why would we need to defederate? Just don't subscribe to their communities and you won't see their content

Unless I've misunderstood something, community names are already globally unique and multiple identically named communities cannot exist, you're just not looking at the full name.

[email protected] and [email protected] are different names, for example.

Sometimes we ignore the part of the name after the @ if it's unambiguous, but it's still there.

In all seriousness though I do worry for the future of juniors. All the things that people criticise LLMs for, juniors do too. But if nobody hires juniors they will never become senior

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

Even just calling it a "new study" is already a lie

OP is an idiot, could have easily continued the joke

Pretty important detail missing from the headline:

However, if ending the war would include Russia returning the territories that it has occupied and annexed throughout the conflict, only a third (34 percent) of respondents said they would support that decision.

It's amazing how much people will upvote something without reading it if the title confirms their biases

A banking system running on Blockchain

Is an astronomically terrible idea. It:

• would use as much electricity as an entire country
• payments/transfers would be both much slower AND much more expensive than via a bank
• would have no protection against fraud. You got scammed? Your money's gone. You paid for something online and it never arrived? Too bad
• would have no way to stop money laundering
• would have no way to help people who forgot their password, they'd just lose their life savings permanently
• would tie up a bunch of capital, preventing reinvestment and growth. There would be no way to get a bank loan to buy a house for example
• the list goes on

Your constitution was already pretty terrible and outdated, clinging to it has been one of America's problems for a while now.

But yeah I totally agree with you

I only recently found out about iPhones having 50% market share in the US and that's insane to me. I think anyone who's used both Android and iPhones a lot knows that iPhones are both a worse product and worse value for money, so in a fair market they would be the minority

It would be nice to spend one day on Lemmy without seeing a half dozen posts telling me to switch to Firefox nor 100 comments on every post that's even vaguely browser-adjacent about how ever since they switched to Firefox their life has been nothing but joy and rainbows

So wait the argument is that yes, by human definition, God is evil, but that he thinks all the atrocities in the world are totally awesome? That doesn't make him less evil
