  • No ‘sometimes anybody needs private jets’. Fly commercial en masse to at least make it one flight instead of 300 separate ones. In this age of very good remote video calling there is no situation where somebody needs to be somewhere else within 2 hours to the point it is worth taking a private jet for all of the relevant reasons we’re concerned with. There were commercial empires spanning the globe long before the internet or manned flight existed and they arguably did far better than today’s ‘nimble’ corporations do. BS rhetoric for people to suggest they ‘need’ to fly private at all.








  • It’s not a dumb law. Musk’s quote conveniently side-steps the truth. The way it was: Search/social media website provided pointless links to the news source while stealing the news and publishing it itself and earning all the ad revenue. Original news source: starved.

    The way the law should have worked (and will as soon as Meta and X’s greed corrects itself): Search/social media websites provide link to news provider and gains ad revenue as normal. News provider actually gets visits to read their news and also earns ad revenue.






  • If you use Ublock you can use this filter to clean Shorts from Youtube (FTR you only need 2 lines near the bottom that have the word ‘short’ in them, but Lemmy formatting is balls so it’s all or nothing):
