YouTube is a great experience with a paid subscription. It’s the streaming service I use the most and I find the monthly cost to be worth the content I watch there. It’s also an even more effective way to fight the disruptive influence advertising has on our online communities and helps fund the creators on the platform that I enjoy.

Everyone should make their own choices, I’m just highlighting one of those choices that works well for me.

We prefer the term "Cardbordeaux"

You might not see it as clearly, but that’s our role in society as well

I spent a decade as a full time Tcl developer and even I don’t use fossil.

Puns are their own rewords!

Profit is created from the output of productive labor. The amount of profit varies depending on the efficiency of the market and the company.

Companies are force multipliers for labor. The company's profit comes from that force mulitplication, not by withholding profit from the worker who generated it.

Profit can only be made by exploiting labour. There can’t be any other way

This is a bad take and suffers from overly-simplistic thinking. Corporations are force multipliers for labor and the economic value of your labor is increased by joining forces with others.

Nobody is surprised by this. The Harris campaign is aware of and is reminding people of this exact fact. It's part of why the ad is compelling. Seems smart and effective to me. It's made everyone stop to talk about how Trump is famous for firing people.

Usenet was the golden age of Reddit for its time. Before the binary newsgroups drowned everything out and web 1.0 captured everyone's attention.

In a way, it was a lot like Lemmy. Federated servers all inter-exchanged posts to a giant, global message board of newsgroups (roughly analogous to a subreddit or Lemmy community). Anyone could create a newsgroup and there were a lot of them.

When it was good, it fostered the same kind of genuine conversation that Reddit and Lemmy do when they're at their best. It was full of memes, too, although that word didn't exist then.

Another way to look at this is that you've linked to an article that necessarily lacks the entire last eight years of context necessary to discuss an article written in 2024. Please, join the rest of us in our current reality if you want to discuss what's happening now.

The triangle of rhetoric is appeal to authority, appeal to emotion, appeal to logic. They don’t accept any of it thay didn’t come from within thier social group so there is no convinving them and that is why Tronald Dump can say he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and have them call it fake news despite being recorded.

This is spot on. Delve into the inevitable "Politics and Religion" section of any old school web forum for white guy hobbies and nine times out of ten it's going to be knee deep in a loud circle jerk consisting of these exact guys whipped into a frenzy over nothing. Look, but don't touch, it's like a buzz saw in there.
