In some countries they don't even have the financial infrastructure to bill patients, so injured tourists get free health care. A big chunk of American medical bills is due to the cost of billing.

They control all the media. They control all the money. They control all the technology.

The only thing that would make this comment more ironic would be a tipping address at the bottom.

Ugh can you just stop it already. They're mostly right.

Corporations shouldn't be allowed ~~to buy each other~~

Abolish the corporate veil. People are accountable for their own actions, corporations are not real. They can buy liability insurance. And if that insurance is too expensive, then the market has spoken and you shouldn't do it.

Treat it just like anyone paying someone else to do something.

A month's worth of business is probably more expensive than having it cleaned.

I made the mistake of starting on 95, now I can't stand anything fancier than XFCE.

I don't even do that and get no delays (Linux Mint, Firefox, ublock)

If adblock didn't work perfectly on YouTube, then I'd just entertain myself elsewhere.

To make a steelman argument: frequently proposed reforms include eliminating the spoiler effect, which would force politicians to compete for best instead of second worst.

Oh yeah he's possibly my best boss yet. Once he drove me to the hospital for a work-related injury because the ambulance was taking too long. That's actually a huge personal legal risk he accepted to help me.

In their defense, most of the time when someone just posts a YouTube link on social media it's a complete waste of time. Video is very slow to get to the point, that's why we're reading!

The propaganda worked. The only ways we're allowed to save are by investing in the companies that exploit us. This makes compliant workers who support the exploitation on which they're forced to depend.

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?
