The Wagner Mutiny Hit Russia's Air Force Hard. Really Hard.

well, if they’re shifting the definition of “conservative” to what others call a “domestic terrorist who made death threats against the President and then had a shootout with the FBI rather than surrender,” then yeah, those people should watch out.

FTFY
the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.
it’s a cult.

"but if my workers aren't miserable, exhausted and in constant pain, I can't call myself a good capitalist! they must be broken!"

Keep in mind, this guy didn't get fired for being a nazi of liking Fuentes, he got fired for embarrassing DeSantis by saying the quiet part out loud.
"Why won't anyone go to the movies anymore?"
"I don't know! We jacked up the ticket and concession prices so high that it costs $30-$50 to see a movie, the floors are always sticky, and assholes always talk and check their phones through the whole film. what's not to love? and since we only greenlight films that cost $300M+ to make, we have to consider them automatic failures if they don't make $1B at the box office opening weekend! (which we still declare a loss due to embezzling/"Hollywood accounting")"
"obviously! how else will I buy by 100th country estate? let's jack up streaming subscription prices, crack down on piracy, monetize actor images with AI, and refuse to pay our writers a decent wage. what are they gonna do, strike? hahaha!"
I swear, I saw this exact post on reddit 18 years ago
I prefer they be made to suffer the indignity of paying workers a fair wage.

We're making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is... a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we're going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.
We Need Your Help
Right now, we're mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:
- Swift - async/await
- Rust (to read Lemmy source code)
- Lemmy
- OpenAPI
- Automated tests - UI and unit testing
- Accessibility UX for Touch (focusing on deaf and blind users)
- International data policy compliance
Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we'd like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.
EDIT: THIS ROUND OF RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED
We want to thank the Mlem community for the unprecedented turnout! We have recruited some amazing developers and creatives to the Mlem Team, and we're hard at work making a great app for everyone! Stay tuned for great things!
Cheers!
The Mlem Team
