It gets protection from large things while getting all the free tiny bugs it can eat, it’s a great deal.

yeah, rats.

we’ve generally solved the rat problem, but that was the initial pitch, then their cute faces hypnotized us.

Yeah it’s not good.

you could average around $0.0000085 per impression.

and it should be noted actual numbers are hard to find, which is sketch.

compared to youtube’s ~55%

IDK I think Discovery is weak for like 2 season before it figures itself out and is currently pretty good.

If it wasn’t trek I would have checked out in season 1, but if you’re willing to push through I think it’s worth it.

I don’t think it is… I really thought it would be, but it appears to be dead serious.

Over-moderation will kill Lemmy instances. One of the reasons Reddit became as big as it did is due to very light-touch moderation verging on “absolute freedom of speech”. It was refreshing and ‘alternative’ compared to the increasing sanitisation of the Internet.

That’s the sub not the website, over moderation is a feature of some subs, just like lemmy instances. Just like reddit, if you don’t like it create your own, unlike reddit you can set an overall tone to your instance.

I really didn’t like his bringing god into this, because all I can think when christians bring it up during tragedy is “Where’s your god now?”

Is his god somewhere jerking off while a priest molests a child?

Certainly not here being useful.

Just doesn’t seem like something to worship to me…

i use google to search reddit and youtube. reddit’s search still sucks and youtube brings up the same results as google generally and it’s in my address bar aleady.

It’s sad to see that everyday users have gotten habituated to these constant workflow braking updates.

I’ve never understood this problem, people talk like it has a mind of it’s own and i just don’t get it.

I’m running windows 11 pro and have never had updates interrupt my shit.

Updates show up in my system tray, then it updates overnight when i sleep.

for what it’s worth, it’s a small active community. Those that stay participate, like a pre-Eternal September internet. I’ve seen memes here before they made it to reddit, that’s a shift in “power” that can’t be understated in the landscape of the internets.

I’m not into pen and paper rpgs (though i’m curios about them), but if you need a bunch of dice, why not use an app?

Final Fantasy the Spirit within is a bit like that.

It’s not good, but that is the plot.

Thanks i hate it.

I’d rather be crazy than replace things that work perfectly well…

Just 6Mbps

I’m sorry…

like fungi recycle dead things into an absurd amount of nutrients, without them trees especially would barely break down and just stick around until very very eventually they turn into coal.

this is just such a cool thing to think about, there was a time when there were just dead trees everywhere in forests, like just laying there being logs or whatever, just piles and piles of dead trees and that’s where coal comes from.

The people mining and dying and polluting the planet just digging out piles of dead trees.

Just like what? I get it, but what?

I guess i’m getting that from when you first said,

but in a truly free market capitalist system

I just assumed you were defending a “truly free market” capitalism.

to address what you just posted,

is it appropriate to blame capitalism when a public corporation in collusion with the government is at fault for an issue? If not, why?

yes, capitalism creates the conditions for that collusion. It allows entities with the only goal of profit at any cost.

removing the government doesn’t reduce that corruption it just allows it to go unchecked without even an illusion of protection to the public.

Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?

Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.

I feel as though you’re also assuming I’m 100% advocating for what I’m describing

i think you’re missing it. Government for as glacial and corrupt and corruptible as it is, is the only buffer from the excess of a free market.

businesses without a guardrail HAVE proven they will sacrifice everything, literally everything in the name of profit.

Oil companies have know for about a century that they are destroying the planet and they are *still * doing it. They fight every regulation that stops them tooth and nail. They buy and shelve technologies that would cut into their profit. Imagine a world where there was no one trying to stop them at all?

That is the proper diagnosis of our system. We have allowed unaccountable immoral groups to control the means of production and they are literally using it to with kill us all.

i generally go into noscript, poke in the console, or look for a bypass extension, just to spite them.

like sites that disable right click, i scrape them on principle…
