I know it's hip to call Biden a 90's R because he didn't pass every policy the left wants with a slim majority, but do you even know what a 90's Republican is / stood for? Because that's when the party turned to Newt and I don't see him doing ANYTHING close to that.

No-one's obligated to read trash. I don't read other tabloids in case they might have a point.

Protip: it's better to respond to the article rather than what you think the headline means.

Online services cost a lot of money. People don't realize how much because VCs and corpos w/ deep pockets have been subsidizing most major services for a long time. Now that the free money period is more-or-less over, these services need to start paying the bills with their users - commence enshittification

There’s constructive criticism and then there’s

There's a lot of people who just yell at you, people I've never seen, met, or talked to before. It's weird. What did we do to them? Perhaps they just write it from a place of negativity and malice. It's tiresome.

Coming from ffxiv, YoshiP knows what actual grievances are and what troll comments are. It’s not a “reality distortion field” to call jackasses, jackasses

What changed is he started becoming more public. He's always been a shithead. There were mentions of him abusing his employees back when I was in grad school in 2012. People on the internet just fell for his mythos and just kept ignoring signs to the contrary until he just...kept...talking.. and couldn't be ignored anymore.

If you want to minimize opinions of people who joined recently, try not being someone who also joined recently.

The use of lead alloys in telecom cables started in the 1880s and the industry began to phase out placement of new lead-sheathed cables in the 1950s after developing a new type of sheathing," the trade group's website said. "Some of these cables still provide customer voice and data services, including connecting 911 service, fire alarms, and other central monitoring stations."

Sounds about right. So they did stop using it when the negative effects of lead started being more well-known. You know what happens when they try to remove that cable in favor of fiber? You get people who whine that the telcos are getting rid of landline copper connections.

I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn't care less about namecalling.

  • The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description...

  • Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture "sticking it to the man" while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that's still reaming them

  • Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY'RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations
