It's because it's fake ass cinnamon in the first place. It's a common enough fraud that the manufacturer should've been super skeptical, especially for a manufacturer of baby food - probably just thought if they didn't test that they'd be able to wash their hands of whatever was in it.

Probably right too...

At least half of this money is going straight to stock buybacks

Maybe if all these zoomlineals stopped buying avocado toast and Zoloft they'd be able to scrape together a few million dollars for a McDonald's of their own

Then they could simply purchase things from their friends McDonald's in a circular fashion to increase the GDP infinitely

The scale of the damages from this company are of the sort where I'm convinced China would sentence at least a few dozen executives and major landlords to stalin-gun-1

But anyway it'll be great if this company pays XX million fines and shuffles the UI around while their entire business model continues to be automated price fixing

Picture of guy getting the shit beat out of him while students hold his arms

A captured tank driver is helped to safety by students as the crowd beats him, on June 4, 1989, in Tiananmen Square.

Haha, thanks, Atlantic

There's definitely more gruesome photos than what's in there. I noticed they didn't include any of the soldiers burnt to death.

I wonder if they have TV ads with sad coal miners paid for by their version of Koch Industries?

Just kidding. I know they don't.

Rare anti-terrorist IDF W

 

Hello fellow fediverse feds, I'm 100% sure this has definitely been thought of before, but I'm apparently bad at googling the idea, so what's up with this?

There's obvious problems with the federation model:

  • It's a moderation nightmare and standards are effectively that of the worst website Federated with
  • It's a bandwidth catastrophe, last I heard Lemmy broadcasts every single vote to every Federated server??? At serious scale this is a genuine waste of resources with real carbon cost. I've read mitigations to this that seem to basically be going down the same route of Usenet or cryptocurrencies, such as having trusted servers/shards/whatever bundle transactions, which is a whole new mess
  • No cross-server identity management (not an inherent problem though). Super important ™️ clout chasers can try to squat their names on the big sites, but nobody's stopping anyone from doing a "REAL Elon Musk crypto give away" on a new server with the name not taken yet.

So what if users just had an rss-like experience of subscribing to individual communities on any server they pick? Their signed identity could carry meta data to facilitate cross-server connections (DMs go to XXX, also member of X, Y, Z, etc), and servers would only have to worry about serving and moderating their own content. What's lost? Discoverability? That seems lower stakes to centralize than moderation and corporate control.

Obviously the technology already exists: we have centralized OAuth providers and a more decentralized regime could be built off asymmetric encryption, but the attempt to apply it here is where?
