Money isn’t gone, resources are gone.
How much would we save if we’d somehow be able to debloat and deshittify the Internet and all devices? Climate impact, overconsumption of unnecessary crap, mental health care…
you’re better off teaching your kids how some things work, what might be safe to do online and what might be less safe, what possible implications for right holders and creators there might be if you pirate (and that those right holders and creators are often not the same people). Teach them to think for themselves if it’s worse to pirate a 35 yo movie you can’t find on dvd anymore, or a brand new movie that’s still showing in the local cinema. All of this is better than just telling kids “piracy is bad mmmkay!” and then letting them roam free so they start pointing and clicking utter bullshit and using a virus infested os.
Tldr: educate children, talking about piracy is part of it.
I have the impression ad block literacy has declined a lot. 10-15 years ago I’ld be surprised if someone of friends, peers, same age group people didn’t have ad blocking. Now… I’m often surprised if they do, because it became less common to “put in the effort” of using ff with ublock.
Do they somehow calculate in this the value off the youtube harvested user data that serves other Google branches? No, right?

Implementing no fishing zones have shown that at least in seas and oceans, fish stocks and diversity can replenish incredibly fast because they become nurseries. Salmon might be more difficult tho.

Never heard of it
The reddit crash in userbase and content quality actually began earlier indeed, with the wsb explosion into big media and the gamestock madness and the influx of a large flock of dumb people hoping to get rich quick.
I think a lot of the quality did move away from there to here. Lemmy should grow, but not too much or too fast. There’s no rush, there aren’t lemmy investors waiting for their double digit ROI by the end of the month.
It’s probably still growing, losing old users and gaining others, to become about as interesting as Facebook has been for over 10 years now.
In the olden days, it would have been the church and the local nobles calling the shots on the local community forum, staging a witch-hunt or a public hanging event to keep the topics within desired boundaries and squeezing money, engagement and thus community power towards certain projects and not others.
I agree with the idea of your post commenting on today’s situation in capitalism, but disagree with the imo romanticised idea of how a community forum in the past would have functioned more independent and self-organising
Which makes it important to bomb old accounts’ content. Adding “reddit” to a search term often lead to better results from search engines. It’s better it shouldn’t anymore.
It’s not a base human condition. Things like buying a hawaii holiday on credit or advertisements for gambling in sports competitions are just evil ways in which people with large capital and brains squeeze out poorer and lower educated people, and shouldn’t be allowed at all. It is not even an anti-capitalist stance, a capitalist economy can thrive just fine without that kind of misleading. A prime task of a government is to protect people from eachother.
i dunno, i’m not encouraging anyone to take to arms, but it’s exactly the kind of shit that happened a lot in the end of the 1800’s, beginning of the 1900’s. Anarchists directly attacking high-ups with terrorist attacks, ignorant to the working class people, is arguably one of the reasons why for example the general populace got the right to vote, the christian churches started trying to come up with alternatives to socialism/anarchism (rerum novarum) and why high-ups like bismark introduced ideas like pension, krankenkasse etc. I don’t understand the general aimlessness of all the mass shootings in the USA. “i wanna make a point instead of going out silently on my own, but the only people i can take with me are my peers, no higher ups”?
TL;DR greedy guys do get scared if their jobs become too dangerous in an destabilized society.
No. They are this close to legalising weed in Germany. Should be end of this year. After that, whatever.
Most of the US population lives in cities, just like in any other industrialised country.
Thanks! Do you think I’ld be good with this for example:

I9 13900h. On paper it beats the bit more expensive ryzen 9 6900hx version by about 10 % in single thread.
