Who, other than a kid in school, would willingly spend time with someone who “holds shit over your head”?
When that person is your parent. We don’t all get to choose nice and supporting families.
My mother would do that. I don’t tell her anything beyond how the weather is anymore.
Is something wrong with Gorillaz now? Demon Days was the shit.
Meta is a publicly traded company - that doesn’t mean they have business arrangements the outside world doesn’t know about. They’re held to public reporting obligations and have a Board of Directors hand-picked by Zuck (since he still has the majority control of voting shares).
A transaction like that is done in secret all the time, each and every day.
If they did the contract would be under an NDA. No way for us to find that shit out - you just have to watch the enshittification happen as the early birds get paid.
But I thought millions of people depended on the communities involved and that’s why they had to reopen.
Doesn’t banning the community just fully go against their stated reasoning?
4chan doesn’t fuck with animal abusers. They fuck their lives up and doxx them.
Yeah… don’t they get that makes it worse since it shows forethought?
Dude that’s not an Xbox controller, it’s a Logitech third party you’d have fights over your buddies with to not have to use.
Also, Xbox controllers are not used where people’s lives are at risk. Periscopes, drones, etc. but they’re not using them as primary controls on human manned craft.
Tech companies can’t help but abuse people. They passed the law allowing gig workers to be a separate class in California and some immediately tried to dictate start times and schedules.
All Reddit has to do next is tell their volunteers when they need to do their jobs and where.
If Reddit is taking the mantle of determining valid content and is editing and changing posts for users without their consent, doesn’t that run the risk they fall afoul of the Safe Harbor clause of DMCA?
IMO they’re getting mighty close to editorial control.
It’s a little difficult to reset the password if it’s lost otherwise.
So, in other words, CEOs are just third-party sounding enthusiasts. I think I’ll refer to them that way from now on.
All that paying does is prove you’ll pay whatever they want. Just like a blackmailer, it’s never enough. They always escalate in their attempts to extract “value”.
It’s the same damn story, time after time. “Oh, we put a few ads to cover expenses - it’ll be limited, we promise.” 3 months later: “We have a premium plan that hides ads.” Another 3 months: “We now have informational banners on premium for our own content. Since it’s our own, it’s totally not an ad!”
Then just: “Pay us a monthly rate and get served ads.”
It’s like fucking clockwork with these ghouls.
Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.
In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.
