If the market allows cars to not have AM radios, then obviously AM radio is not that important.
Also, cars are not the only way to listen to the radio.

Reddit could reach the same agreemen without an API, too.
Lemmy is not one thing, it's a way for different sites (called instances) to share content with each other.
What instances (i.e. domains) are you trying to create an account on? There have been some big bot waves in the last few days, but even without that every instance handles signup differently. Some are totally open, while others require manual review of some kind.
I wouldn't have even hesitated to buy Premium if it was the only way to use third party apps. That seems reasonable. I paid more for a completely pointless Snoo bobblehead like a decade ago, at least Premium in that context would provide some actual benefit!
LLMs are already relying on web scraping and always have. They are getting data from the entire Internet, do people really think OpenAI is doing individual integrations with every single website throughout the Internet?! Are Google and Bing doing that, too?
It's complete FUD.
I would greatly appreciate any kind of feature to handle read posts, even if it's entirely manual (for now).
That said, I don't have any strong opinions on how this should be implemented. I just wanted to say that the very fact we can have this kind of conversation out in the open is so exciting. Maybe in the very early days of Reddit or Twitter that kind of user feedback was appreciated, but the last decade of monolithic tech giants has been so depressing.
The last week or two has honestly been my most refreshing and invigorating time on the web that I can remember since I got my first Gmail account back when it first went open beta.
I will be remembering this anytime someone says they were just protesters or that it wasn't actually a violent event.
What law did the migrants break?
Does the Coast Guard do a thorough investigation of anyone that is in need of their services and establish everyone is innocent of any potential crime before rescuing people
That's not a compelling reason on its own. If there aren't enough people listening to AM radio for a radio studio to be profitable, perhaps that radio station does not need to exist?
Does it suck that Blockbuster isn't around anymore? Maybe a bit for nostalgia reasons, but it went away because of a combination of poor business decisions and market forces. I don't see how that is a problem that needs to be solved or avoided.
The FBI needs to be mandated by law to not care about politics. There is so much apparent hand-wringing over "not appearing political" that they are making huge impacts on politics. It doesn't matter if someone who breaks the law also happens to be a politician. Treat them the same as any random citizen!
I don't understand why people think the end goal should be one network of Fediverse instances connected to each other. We already don't have that and never will.
Meta adding "more users than the entirety of the Fediverse" is irrelevant. They already have more users and content from Facebook, Instagram or whatever else Meta owns is not showing up on my Lemmy or Kbin front page. How would I notice any difference if the tech behind Meta's services is different?
