Nonsense, fellow human! I am sure you—l mean we—have nothing to fear!

I don’t even know why the scientists keep making them!

Amazon was originally a bookseller, so it was their main source of income. I don’t know how much money they make from MP3s, but it probably isn’t much. I don’t think DRMing their music is worth it for them. Many people view music as a service now and don’t even own any music. I keep expecting Amazon to switch over to streaming-only like Google did.

Tbh this just sounds like ADHD or something.

It’s APD (Auditory Processing Disorder). That’s explained in the article.

A lot of people’s concept of justice isn’t based on logic. Rehabilitation makes more sense logically, but retribution feels better.

I use qbittorrent, and this is the first I’ve heard of this.

YouTube hasn’t been replaced because adblockers still work.

He has Nazi sympathizers in his family going back to WWII. He grew up in apartheid South Africa. Dude is scary.

Do you understand Groyper, though?

Yes, and that’s a good thing.

There are lots of Lemmy apps that display posts in different ways. If you want “bells and whistles”, then find an app that gives you that.

Out of all of the shit Trump is doing, this is the least consequential. Trans people are dying because they can’t get medical care, immigrants are being sent to a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay, Trump is planning to level Gaza… but let’s talk about a name on a map.

Newsflash: Social network owned by Nazi turns out to have a lot of Nazi content.

All 3 of those. Yes.

They should form a North American Union, like the EU. Unfortunately, Trump would never do something like that, because he’s stuck in the 19th century.

What’s the point of rules if the president can just ignore them? Were they just counting on the president not being the sort of person who would break the rules? That seems like a bad plan.

So Elon Musk would’ve been in the clear.

It depends upon whether Australian prisons are focused on rehabilitation or punishment.

Leave it to cryptos to make simple things stupidly difficult. This whole piece you quoted was hilarious, but this part especially stuck out for me:

The base protocol doesn’t use tokens, which lets people who don’t have interest in cryptocurrency (yet) use it for free

That ain’t cheddar. It’s American.

I’m actually not surprised that it was somebody like this. Rich white men are the most entitled group in the US. Everything is supposed to work for them. So if they get fucked over, they’re more likely to have a psychotic break.
