Remember when Eli Lily lost billions because an account with a blue check mark pretending to be them said they were giving insulin away for free?

The original Hippocratic Oath made you swear not to charge to teach people about medicine.

People are abusing Google's ad distro platform to get malware onto people's machines. I see Microsoft signed up for the same firestorm of possibilities.

With even the FBI recommending adblockers maybe ads aren't the thing we should prop up our economy with. They don't work, people hate them, and now even passively ignoring them isn't an option. But I don't know if the world can operate on the Patreon model.

If he has $500/M on hand, this shouldn't be allowed.

If he DOESN'T have $500/M on hand... This still shouldn't be allowed.

The going price for the 2024 election is $464M. I hope not... But I bet somebody will pick up the tab.

Trump will kiss his shoes and not get an ounce of respect back. Love to see it.

Where are the creators? The cosplayers? The rube goldberg machines made out of post it's and shot glasses? The "I draw pictures by playing notes on a piano" people? The people porting Doom to a yoga mat? The "I made a car out of thrown out Crocs" people? The "I built a treadmill for my friend's overweight insects" people?

This is the stupidest shit I could think of but people are out there making and doing weirder/amazing-er things... Where are those people in Lemmy? I browse All and it's just politics, linux, and shit posts.

I remember when #GetTheBuckOutOfColorado was trending in 2016. Glad he's finally gone.

I still blame Jeep for thinking a rotating selector was a good idea for a gear shifter. RIP Anton Yelchin.
