Eh, the only problem I have is that it spills into so many communities and that makes it hard to curate your feed. Personally, I do want to see some Reddit stuff. I'm both curious and just plain amused by the drama. But I don't want my feed dominated by it and try to limit my subscriptions of Reddit related communities.
Plus I don't view this as a meme.
I don't understand. Google search has its issues for sure, but it always shows stack overflow highly when I search programming things.
I actually just watched a really well done YouTube video by Some More News last night about this very topic. Their ultimate conclusion is mostly the same and they show how it has changed so much in recent years and include various examples (as well as examples of how liberal humor differs).
Robots need calories too (just they usually eat "food" like batteries or gasoline)! Clearly they are a ghost. Or a Walking Dead zombie. Those things defied physics.
I'm not sure if it's even just as easy as "use Firefox" like the original comment implies. For your web browser, sure. But presumably these root certs are used by all apps. And thus many apps that depend on the internet would break (most wouldn't do what Firefox does and being your own root CA certs).
No big company would let a bot solely do their social media. Waaaay too much potential to cause a PR disaster. They'll use bots to do stuff like search for posts, schedule posts, and come up templates, but a human would definitely be involved in some point of every single post.
This is probably some human who is told to basically spend all day searching for people referencing McDonalds and replying to their comment based on their tone. They probably do it so much that they were half in autopilot and didn't notice who posted it or how it looked so obviously like an ad.
And quite frankly, a significant number of Texans. Those people in Texas's government are only in the government because a massive chunk of people voted them in, and then another massive chunk said "I don't care lol".
Let's be honest, PGP has major usability issues. I mean, a standard that just tells you to "figure it out" with regards to key exchange? And while I'm sure there's plenty of people who've tried to make central services to handle the key exchange part, none have actually gotten any significant usage or seemingly even agreement.
I don't think it would much reduce spam, though. If you use email in a closed environment of sorts, you already can reject email from people you don't know. If they use trusted email providers and you require SPF and DKIM (as most modern webmail does), spoofing isn't really a concern, at least not if you have an allowlist of senders. And if you're not in a closed environment, presumably you'd have to share your public key very widely, making it accessible to spammers too.
That reason is wages not keeping up with inflation. Eg, if the US min wage kept up with inflation, it'd be something like $25/h (vs $7.25 federally today). I think you'd be able to afford an extra buck a month for music if you got paid that much more. And that's just inflation. Don't look up tying it to productivity cause that'll just be sad.
The specific term, for anyone wondering (or who may be facing this) is "constructive dismissal". If your employer significantly changes the terms of employment (hours, location, job duties, etc) to make you quit, it is legally viewed similar to firing.
Don't forget banning excess eating, red meat, sugar, and staying up too late. Let us work together to create our utopia of perfect, boring humans who are peak physical specimen, exactly the way we want them to be.
IMO the important thing is removing duplicates and pushing people to post to the most relevant communities (and for us regular users, only upvoting the post in the most relevant community). As well, Lemmy itself needs better means of combining the same post across many communities.
When I say removing duplicates, I also mean for a given event, not a literal duplicate link. We don't need 5 posts from different media sites on the same event unless a new one is significantly different.
That's the issue I've been noticing a lot. Every major news site wants to post their own opinion piece on how dumb Musk is (can't blame em) and it feels like every single one of those will get posted to some Lemmy community.
