America’s darling Jeff Bezos exploited a flaw in his book suppliers policies to gain an unfair edge on competitors in the early days of Amazon. Best business man ever: give him the key to the city and a dick-shaped rocket ship.
He also got rich daddy and rich friend money to get money for his totally original and non-derivative idea of “selling things online”. Maybe that’s where this guy went wrong? No rich daddy?
WOW, what will the incredible Elon come up with next!? Dude comes up with all the great stuff we should have invented like ~50-100 years ago.

Would you apply this same logic of your own country or is it just because it’s far away and maybe you don’t care so much for brown people?
Have you tried eating dog food to help the shareholders yet?
I imagine the discussions in the board room went something along the lines of “holy shit we’re screwed… Who can we call to cash out something while we still can?”
US sells/provides/uses so many armaments around the world that it’s laughable to think Russia doesn’t already have their hands on at least a vast chunk of our “tech”. Surely trying to reverse-engineer what they can, as I’m sure any country does to foreign equipment.
Usually it’s the manufacture process of tech that is the “secret sauce”.
“Stop the price-gouging…”, the unspoken bit after is “… they’re starting to catch on”
Capital is king, and Joe kneels at the throne at the end of the day.
Communism is covert fascism? Why then did fascists round up and kill communists? The two are wholeheartedly opposed to each other.
OH SAY CANNN YOUUU SEEEE
That might be the stated intent, but it seems plain that once the leaders are in positions of power and authority, they abuse their power. This is why, as fallible as is democracy, it is superior.
Do you think that socialism/communism is not a democratic system?
The pitfalls of our current systems preclude us getting to the point of utilizing space to any meaningful extent. Better to forgo the hypothetical Star Trek romanticized fiction and just fix what we have here; then maybe we can think about that stuff.
At this stage, the mere mention of any such possibility is a distraction from the gravity of the situations we face. It’s a mere tool to keep the apple cart going, while people are literally dying from our own collective hubris.
Show me where activitypub actively tracks how much time you’ve spent looking at content, what content makes you stop scrolling, factors that contribute to you interacting in content, or any demographic information about you, etc.
Privacy is given up on the fediverse when you choose to post such information, (e.g. “I live in Ohio”) not actively harvested as a means to craft ads for your eyeballs and sell to whoever has money.
Your comment is akin to “oh you don’t like eating spoiled yogurt? And yet, you eat bananas… Curious.”
You could try to find content you enjoy on a community instead of just browsing All… It’s a big topic right now so of course you’re gonna see a lot of that when you’re scanning everything.
I’ve seen plenty of posts that are original, or are at least as original as they would be on Reddit.
I dunno, I think he’s too much of a narcissist to let that happen. Not to mention the stupid money he was compelled to spend on the purchase, despite him playing it off like he’s playing 4D chess.
Beautiful doggo!
I’m excited to see what new and interesting features will be implemented that we never could have gotten on Reddit. FOSS (free and open source software) has a history of being an environment where innovation can be fostered, unrestrained by the whims of the market.
Welcome!
Fuck spez, amen. I’m actually really impressed by how good Lemmy is working given that it is still a newer platform. Big fan of FOSS, so that’s a huge plus for me as well!
I will be donating to third-party apps and instances to help support this lovely thing we have going on here.
Stay beautiful, y’all!
