Not these ones specifically but that's why I said, "these issues." The way they run their app store and their stance on sideloading is all coming from the same anti-competitive strategy.

I hear you but Apple's stance on these issues also stops something like an F-droid Iphone equivalent.

The nightshade family also gives us a lot of important vegetables. Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers being the most common but others as well.

When I signed up and they asked me how I heard about them I said a Lemmy post so I'm going to go ahead and take 100% credit for this.

But seriously, that's pretty cool.

You wanna know something else? The majority of the world economy is already centrally planned. Not on the national level, on the corporate level. Business is dominated by a relatively few giant corporations with internal economies the size of some nations. None of them run free markets internally. Sears experimented with it, to their demise. Central planning is already the primary way that our economic lives are driven. It's just we let unaccountable billionaires do the planning instead of an elected body.

The actual content is way better now than it was the first couple of months after the Reddit thing. Initially a lot of the comments were either Reddit related or people trying to force communities that didn't necessarily have the population to survive, yet. That's all fallen away now and the content feels much more organic. Someone opening a Lemmy instance for the first time is going to find today's front page much more engaging than what it looked like in June/July.

Lemmy is becoming its own thing rather than a reflection of Reddit.

In some ways a lot more responsive as well. The news that Kissinger died was all over Lemmy for hours before I noticed one post about it crack the front page of Reddit, for example.

What is this article, haha?

It's no surprise that the former trader would quickly catch on to the commodity of choice in his new environment. He has been a professional trader for much of his career. In 2013, he got his first intern gig at Jane Street Capital, swapping exchange-traded funds before cofounding his crypto-trading firm Alameda Research in 2017. A year later, he figured out how to arbitrage bitcoin between the US and Japanese markets.

Yes, with his lengthy four year career before getting into the scam business he was certainly a master of his craft, lol.

Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Dinesh D'Souza, and Peter Hitchens among names you may have heard of.

As well as an endless supply of idiots on web forums throughout the last 30+ years.

This is the right's favourite lie to distance themselves from the natural end result of their ideology.

Still better than the 'gig economy'. If making worker's lives more precarious makes your life better, fuck your life.

Oh no! Businesses whose 'innovation' is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.

My instance shut down donos because they were bringing in way more than they needed and are sitting on years of server costs at current usage. I was donating when they were open, though.

I've only used jerboa but I can't seem to find a crosspost button. Every app is alpha at best though so I'm sure it will come.
