Because zero-click internet kills the revenue model. It's unfortunate, but understandable until something better comes along.

Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that's distributed by percentage.

I believe at this level it's called favors.

I hear this one a lot, but the purpose of the "move fast and break things" methodology is to make things better. In some cases, that does work, and it's usually applied with benefit in mind.

Shock and awe might be more appropriate. Do as many things as possible to stun the population, so only the dedicated will push back.

The why is answered in the article. About the family member (cartel boss) currently imprisoned in the US:

He believed that was the case because the former cartel boss, whose lawyer said in January he had entered negotiations with U.S. authorities, had been pointing fingers at members of other criminal organizations likely as part of a cooperation agreement.

“It is evident that his family is going to the U.S. because of a negotiation or an offer that the Department of Justice is giving him,” Garcia Harfuch said.

I'm not sure if there is precedence for this before, I am just a lowly pleb.

everything is allowed as long as nobody is getting hurt

Context is important here. Oftentimes someone is getting hurt, you just don't know who or when. A very fine line on this bullet.

What's it like living there now? I remember reading the book (forgetting title) where it was named the Happiest Place On Earth, does it still feel that way? It's on my destination list, but I haven't been traveling much so it might he a long time before I make my way there.

Haha maybe put the edit at the top 😉

Scroll scroll scroll. Oh.

Thanks for the giveaway! Wish I could give away codes I've redeemed and haven't played.

Yup, my servers just run bare Debian and ZFS and I have backup scripts that parse the docker compose files for how often to run and keep backups.

Classic case of "I have never done this before and don't want to ask questions for fear of looking stupid."

What would keep a future president from renaming it to the Book Closet of Mexico?

As if. Bye bye neighborhood library boxes.
