  • I'd prefer no tyranny at all, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the tyranny of corporations because, at least, companies don't have a monopoly on violence.

    Pick your seat, Lemmy

    Jump

  • As a non-American, I only recognize Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan in this picture. I would pick seat 7. The person in front of me looks innocent, and behind me is a woman, so she probably isn’t too tall and won't kick my chair. She might even allow me to recline my seat. I don't know much about Hulk Hogan, but he seems like a cool dude, and I like his mustache. Tell me, did I choose wisely?

  • Whatever 'Clean Code' you write now, it'll be shit eventually and in need of a complete rewrite

  • They don't. Piercing jewelry is usually made from robust materials that are inert in normal conditions, like stainless steel, gold, plastics, and sometimes glass or gemstones. So, no, you don't taste anything, just as you don't taste a plastic cup, ceramic mug, or stainless steel pot.

  • If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

    Jump

  • The question was "Why do you not believe in universal healthcare?" not "Why don't you like the libertarian movement?" Jeez, guys.

  • The Silt Striders always made me feel kinda uncomfortable, anyone else?

    Jump

  • To me, it's quite the opposite! I feel like Silt Striders are kind of cozy, actually. What can be more comfortable and safe to travel than on the back of a big bug-giraffe? They are sweet, calm, non-aggressive, domesticated creatures.

  • Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps

  • Isn't it kinda funny that the "most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet," yet this article is locked behind a paywall?

  • The red, green, and blue buttons in the footer seem to do nothing.

    They should change the primary color in the UI - are you sure it's not doing this for you? Maybe it's just enough of a subtle change that it's not immediately noticable?

    Yeah, I totally missed that. It's actually pretty subtle. Got it now though. 👀

    Oh, and hey, just wanted to drop a quick thanks for putting in the work on this Lemmy instance. 😘❤️

    Seeking feedback on lemmy-ui-next! (Milestone 2 is nearing completion!)

    Jump

  • Cons:

    1. I'm already accustomed to the light theme of Lemmy and can't find how to switch from dark to light in "Next."
    2. When I scroll down to the end, there's 2/3 of the screen that is not being utilized. 2a. The red, green, and blue buttons in the footer seem to do nothing.
    3. The notion on every post that "Your IP is hidden from another Lemmy instance" is kind of annoying and useless. Why is it there?
    4. I dislike a little that it tries to copy the old Reddit interface. Although that interface wasn't bad, and I'm the one who would first say "don't fix what isn't broken," I'm more prone to seeing something new, some experimentation. Right now it feels more like "next to the old Reddit," which isn't exactly bad, but still...

    Pros:

    1. I kind of like how images work on "Next." It feels faster and more "in place." It's simpler for me to distinguish between different types of posts (image, link, video).

    P.S. I'm on the latest stable Firefox (124.0.2).

  • Saying the quiet part out loud

    Jump

  • Although I don't agree with "The salaries are higher than supply and demand in equilibrium would dictate," I believe that your point is overall true. One truly cannot assess whether the price is too high or too low in isolation from the law of supply and demand. The role of the buyer (of any good, including labor) is to purchase as cheaply as possible, and the role of the seller is to sell as high as possible. I'm somewhat saddened that now this negotiation has turned kinda toxic. Companies attempt to play the victim card, claiming "no one wants to work," while labor responds with mere satire, without directly addressing the problem.

  • Absolutely, I'm totally with you on this! And obviously, they're not mutually exclusive. Right now, though, it seems like there's zero effort being put into the latter option. I'm just feeling a bit frustrated, hence the stronger words and arguments than I probably should be using. My bad if it came off like I was saying these choices can't coexist.

  • All of these are examples of the free market colluding under capitalism exactly how you describe that it should be and creating a wealth inequality that ultimately screws workers with no recourse.

    All of these are examples of attempts to control billionaires in their field through bureaucracy and law. I'm advocating for a change in strategy. You're attempting to enforce more rules because it seems like a good idea, and it is... in the short term. But we've seen countless times that controlling, forcing, and policing never work! After all, corporations will prevail again if we don't redirect our energy elsewhere. Instead of focusing on controlling the rich, we should educate the poor. We should offer them choices and options rather than attempting to seize control from the wealthy. All you (and almost everyone else) are doing is repeating, like a mantra, "tax the rich" and providing examples of corporations utilizing options WE provided. I believe that you genuinely want better for all people, but from my perspective, it's you who advocates for strategies that haven't worked and will not work, without realizing it. I don't think so, but I genuinely hope that you (and everyone else here) are right and I'm wrong because it appears that your agenda is gaining popularity, while my opinion is very unpopular. Your "plan" simply has a greater likelihood of being implemented and finding supporters. Because if you're all wrong... we're doomed, guys.

  • Why do we keep focusing on stopping scammers instead of teaching people about scams? I think it's important for everyone to know their true worth, but just banning scams doesn't solve much. On the other hand, if people can recognize scams, they won't fall for them.

    In the store, I sometimes encounter containers (e.g., beer, water, shampoo) with a volume of 618ml. Why exactly this number?
