Hot take: legalize insider trading. The rich and politicians are already doing it. The insider trading situation literally can't get any worse than it is right now.

If they don't want employees to short their own companies, then they can give employees some shares and more pay.

    When I ask around and look for centrists in real life, I cannot find them. I can't find people who want the climate to collapse slowly, or want ICE reined in, or - and this is the big one - want insurance companies in charge of health care.

    We've been fooled. They got everyone to capitulate and vote for things nobody wanted.

    When I find myself falling asleep during a meeting, I'll hold up a pen a couple centimeters above the table. If I doze off I drop the pen and wake up.

    So if you ever see me just holding a pen up, know that you're being verbose and it could've been an email.

    In case any young people need to hear this: it's OK to lie at work. You're literally forced to work or totally unrelated goons will force you onto the street at gunpoint. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.

    Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

    One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

     

    My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

    So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

    Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
