Packing a box is skilled labor?

I had that exact conversation at work a few days ago. Someone was insisting that Spaniards are Latino, so I asked them if Spain is in Latin America or Europe. That was the key to them eventually figuring it out.

You can't keep them out, but you can choose not to Federate with them. They can't take over. That's the point of having independent federated servers.

Imagine buying a physical book, reading it, and putting it on the bookshelf in your living room, only to have family members and friends borrow it and read it for free.

Shouldn’t that say that “it seems that he’s a successful man”?

should we just quit using these sites or what?

Yes.

Because that's where the freak show is.

Nobody wants to be underpaid anymore.

If you think the problem is in the countryside, you've never been to New York City, and particularly the Bronx.

I spent some time on Threads to see how it was and it's a fucking cesspool of like-mongering and look at me oneupsmanship bullshit that was so fucking tiring to look at that I deleted the app after 4 days.

I'm sure there's a way to get around it, and if there isn't, then I just won't be using YouTube anymore. I survived before it existed. I'm getting tired of these companies' bullshit.

There's a contradiction here. The Supreme Court ruled that Speech can't be compelled, not that you could bar certain people from a business.

Well, don't use Facebook to talk about doing things that are illegal. Why do people not use common sense?

Weird. I don't see much of that at all, even on "All". I guess it depends on what instance you join.

As much as I dislike Meta, the idea that you’d have to pay to present a link to a news article is idiocy. Let the news sites see how their traffic goes without those links.
