Copyright should not exist. However, under our current economic system, capitalism, it should exist for a short period of time. Probably about 5-10 years.

I honestly don’t know if I believe any of this. It could be one big distraction, and I think the people in high positions of power are skeptical as well.

I mean I guess? Aside from the calling it’s fine imo. UI was also easier for me to use

I never understood why everyone moved to discord. Regardless of this, it actually just sucks and is hard to use. Discord really gives me hope that the fediverse will succeed, just because the UI sucks so fucking much.

Bro’s in a wheel chair and still vetoed it, damn

I don’t think this will do much of anything, except for the graduate loans section. You can educate people on the cost of school all you want, if someone needs to finish school they’ll take on whatever debt they need to.

Best solution is to just make it free. I feel like the investment will just pay for itself when you have more people with degrees able to fill more jobs, bolstering the workforce.

Yeah, the replicated youtube we’d need to either have a lot of money for hosting or use a decentralized model. The second option isnt even that feasible though.

Honestly, others do have point when they say we are basically leeching off of the platform. I honestly don’t think I’d mind paying for youtube, I currently don’t because it kind of just got ingrained in me that youtube was “free”. I think the ad supported model is fundamentally flawed though.

Platforms will always want to make it worth it for advertisers to work for them. With the huge trove of user data that sites like Youtube, Twitter, Facebook etc. have they will use that to leverage personalized ads that will feed your brain with garbage all day and coax you into buying shit you don’t need or sometimes even falling for scams.

I’d honestly like it better if these sites just straight up charged you right out of the gate. Maybe on top of that we could have sites be interoperable, like the fediverse, so it’s not necessarily what the site offers but how they offer it to you. Making you want to pay for an experience that you truly can’t get anywhere else.

I use redreader for browsing NSFW subreddits, it’s genuinely a better experience. What a shame.

Right after I’m done with your mom

I think I’d be cool with this if we could just get difficulty levels man :/

Pokemon is still so much fun, but they really took away the process of getting lost and figuring your way around things.

I hope beehaw overtakes lemmy.ml. Seems like a really nice instance.

It’s crazy how just reporting on things factually said and done by the CCP will get you called a liberal and a US propagandist. You’ve truly lost the plot.

The capitalization is always the best part about his rants lol
