From the perspective of the people who make the crap, corporations are the users.

He got a hand-me-down iPhone because he’s poor, and has decided it’s better than no phone, but is sad it’s still a walled garden despite other people being rescued.

Is there a joke I’m missing?

New Guam, maybe.

Well, that’s a bit of a salty tangent, but yeah, I guess they could take a class warfare sort of line on it. The other classical options are going full luddite, or just blaming a minority. Maybe they’ll come up with something new, because I have trouble picturing laid off creatives spouting any of these.

Right now, I think people are firmly in the denial stage. For whatever reason the thread isn’t federating properly for me, but on beehaw I can see others in here saying human exceptionalism stuff, which is kind of not in accordance with science.

Expect a lot more “white collar workers laid off due to AI” posts coming. I wonder how long it will take for a (very well resourced, those are status-y jobs) movement to form in response.

Unsafe… for our margins!

What should it be called?

If they can do it, they will. It’s ad dollars to them, as good as any others.

Don’t let them do it. Buy dumb electronics, or at least smart electronics you can use airgapped.

Assuming they’re checking the emails at all.

Remember when that guy decided to read a book while his Tesla was doing basic lane following, and merged into a semi? I 'member.

Yeah, that’s broken then. You at the very least need to have addressed which airplanes are being discussed before pulling out a pronoun.

Piece of shit book.

Depending on context, this might not be wrong. It could be part of an “it is an airplane” -> “they are a few airplanes” -> “they are so many airplanes!” progression.

Is it?

There’s a few ways Lemmy has learned good lessons from Reddit. The main thing missing is more users, so I can visit an ultra-niche community devoted to faucets that are bad.

Damn that’s subtle.

It seems somebody’s trying to get lemmy.blahaj.zone shut down. This isn’t the first garbage post from them.

I’ve seen the design and I thought it made good sense mechanically, but I hadn’t considered this issue. I wonder if stand designs are getting wider too, as a result.

It’s not working well, if so. Lemmy’s still pretty left-wing relative to the overall population, and my comments defending communism as not evil are upvoted.

For a war historian, maybe. From an ethical culpability perspective I think it’s fair. Hitler started that thing and dragged everyone else along kicking and screaming.

Maybe WWII would have happened “spontaneously” the same way WWI did eventually, but Europe was still getting over the first one, and so it was a couple decades away at least.

So “eat the rich” is just edgy humor or what?

Yes. Most people don’t want to eat other people. I would expect the explicit cannibalism to clue you in to a level of irony there.

Weird, because somehow, every time that every time communism has been tried, it involved massive genocide, though perhaps one could argue that the majority of it was the result of incompetency, because the majority of the victims starved to death as a result of disastrous agricultural policies.

Genocide has to be at least a bit deliberate, and generally they just fucked up their economy bad enough agriculture was negatively effected. In the USSR’s case at least, the starvation affected the republics pretty equally, too. As Ukrainians were starving so were Khazaks. For political reasons, some parties have tried to make it sound like a targeted ethnic thing, but it just wasn’t, and it certainly wasn’t on purpose.

but you have to admit that even when taking to low estimates, communism’s death toll is far higher than that of the Nazis. OP is correct, they’re all evil ideologies.

This is the part where the communists come out with capitalism’s death toll. Dumb ideology, maybe, evil ideology no, at least not on it’s own.

Edit: Also, I take issue with not counting all of WWII as part of the Nazi death count, since they very deliberately made it happen. Consider this was in the space of just a few years, vs. an entire human lifetime for the Soviets.

Yeah, it’s not a fair comparison. You can say it’s a dumb ideology but at the end of the day it’s close cousins with big-L Liberalism, and often has been first to the social ideas we hold dear today.

They got banned because lemmy.ml is also a communist-run instance. The mods could have taken the high road and just replied, I guess, but that would have been extraordinary patience. So, they banned the person calling them a Nazi, and I don’t think that was an unreasonable choice on their part.
