The stuff BlackCat stole and haven’t released yet.

I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I’d been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.

Be the change you want to see! If the sub doesn’t exist yet, make it yourself, and people like you will come to fill it. Welcome home!

Congrats!

Yes. Look at the 2008 housing crash, and tell me average investors are intelligent.

Players: doing simple things the most convoluted and unnecessarily complicated way possible, and simultaneously finding ways to completely ruin your convoluted and complicated master plan with as few steps as possible.

I never knew how much I needed a war beagle companion until now.

They really be like this tho.

On that note, was there such a method of tithe evasion back in the feudal era?

Oh, heyyyyyy, Mr. Goodfellow, I was JUST about to contact you, actually…

Against it by “using” it in a manner which deprived the company of revenue - such as watching videos with an adblocker.

This, in their mind, counts as “shit that matters”.

As the social media juggernauts, these companies are viewed as the embodiment of everything they see as wrong with a capitalist/corporatist society, and in their mind, by dismantling or fundamentally changing and challenging these juggernauts, they can inspire and bring about the change they want in society as a whole.

No, I’m just pointing out the community you’re talking about. This is a piracy community, on Lemmy. If you’re surprised that this specific community is hostile to your arguments, I’m not sure what you were expecting.

Addressing the main point of your argument, the idea of the FOSS movement which many people in this community espouse is to have effectively a volunteer and donation-based society, just like Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. Peertube comes to mind as a specific example. For a significant portion of that population, communism and socialism are also not considered bad things. For others, the crux of their complaint is not against the monetization of content, but the degree to which said monetization interrupts their viewing experience - 30 second ads on a 10 second video, for instance, or multiple 10 second ads interspersed at 30 second intervals throughout a 2 minute video, with the lion’s share of the revenue going to YouTube and not directly to the creators - hence the creation of platforms such as Bitchute, Nebula and CuriosityStream.

And what specifically is wrong with being paid a fair wage on time for work and effort matching the job description exactly?

gestures around I’m not sure if you know this, but you’re on Lemmy, not Reddit or Gab.

My guy you’re posting on a piracy community.

Connect for Lemmy is the closest thing I’ve found to RIF.
