It's almost like our entire world of modern technology is inextricably connected to the economics that support it.
Oh cool, is there anything similar for lemmy?
Nah, the remaining employees aren't the "dead wood" necessarily. They're all the ones on H1 visas who can't legally work in the US anywhere else (without taking a massive risk).
I may be missing the reference here?
I love the fediverse, but it hasn't fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don't like, I have to migrate for that as well.
The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that's enough for my needs.
(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)
I2P is still around? I remember experimenting with it a decade ago. Sounds like it's still a slow experience.
Mint was my first, Pop is my current and fave.
Just remember to check your favorite Steam games on protondb.com to see how well it runs on Linux.
I actually appreciate this article. I'm not near where I need to be to invest in solar, but the details of the corporate fuckery that goes on in rooftop solar providers is helpful to learn.
There didn't even need to be a deliberate cartel for this to happen either.
Amazon realized it could make money and grow the company by offering cloud services and now AWS runs something like 30% of the internet.
Google turned their leading search algorithms into an extensive tracking and advertising platform that integrates with most of the internet.
Apple decided that people don't need to be allowed to tinker with and repair their own devices so that hardware can be locked into a four-year cycle of planned obsolescence.
A whole bunch of profit-maximizing firms did the hard job of controlling everything for the governments.
Yeah this is an example of "lying with graphs 101".
The data probably didn't fit the narrative when they separate "always" and "sometimes"

Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.
