For big corps and California based tech companies sure. For most other companies there's very little data. Though I realize that isn't necessarily their fault.
The article is about lawsuits. Where are you getting this idea that anyone suggested criminalizing people? Stop putting words in other people's mouths. The most that's been suggested in this thread is regulating social media algorithms, not locking people up.
Drop the melodrama and paranoia. It's getting difficult to take you seriously when you keep making shit up about other people's positions.
Bullshit. There's no slippery slope here. You act like these social media companies just stumbled onto algorithms. They didn't, they designed these intentionally to drive engagement up.
Demanding that they change their algorithms to stop intentionally driving negativity and extremism isn't dystopian at all, and it's very frustrating that you think it is. If you choose to do nothing about this issue I promise you we'll be living in a fascist nation within 10 years, and it won't be an accident.
Reddit is the same thing. They intentionally enable and cultivate hostility and bullying there to drive up engagement.
None of this matters when low income people have been getting screwed for 30 years. 3 years of growth means almost nothing when you put it in proper context. It's just a way for the upper class to gaslight people.
There are people out there still getting paid $9 an hour which wasn't liveable 15 years ago when that was my wage. If this trend continues, calling it wage slavery won't be hyperbole anymore.
Plus none of these articles talk about the middle 80% who have not seen their pay keep up with inflation over the last 5 years, or the fact that the price of many goods has exceeded inflation on top of that. Not to mention the housing crisis.
It's not hard to figure out why people think the economy sucks.
People want leaders who give a damn about them not lying charlatans who use them. It isn't that hard to understand.
Cynics like you are the reason we keep electing neoliberal trash who fuck workers over. All you do is make excuses for them.
Rent has objectively skyrocketed since covid. Keep burying your head in the sand.
Reminds of peep show where David Mitchell injects the Battle of Stalingrad into every other conversation he has with a woman lol
Yes you do. SAP is gigantic. You just don't hear about it because they've infected every business instead of being a consumer-oriented brand.
The fact that they passed this law despite the same kind of law literally never working ever anywhere just proves how wrong you are. It's yet another stupid easy-sounding solution that makes people feel smug but won't work
Californians are just as dumb as Floridians apparently. So dumb that they can't even learn from Florida's big dumb mistakes, and probably were never aware of them in the first place.
Firefox is deliberately gimped by Apple on iOS, along with every other browser. It's not a fair comparison. It's basically Safari without a ton of extra features that Mozilla was never going to be allowed to implement, which is why the EU decided Apple was being anti-competitive.
Firefox doesn't even need extensions to match Safari, but it does need gecko and all the settings it supports on other platforms.
Apple is a shady company and trusting them with your data is a big mistake.

I don't disagree at all but I can kind of understand why a lemmy instance would block piracy communities. Reddit has many millions of dollars and a squad of lawyers to back them up, lemmy admins don't.
