Or, we could acknowledge that a populace educated in enriching educational topics is a huge net benefit to society, and we don't do that.

Let people pay for business school, or other bullshit that only benefits private interests.

just someone using the term to mean “young people”

Rude. How dare they stop using "Millennial" to mean "young people". They weren't supposed to recognize that some of us are in our 40s now!

They make it obtuse on purpose, both to prop up the tax return industry, and to make it both possible to create loopholes for the rich to avoid taxes, and make it so that the rest of us can't really benefit from those loopholes.

It's Byzantine on purpose. They could simplify it any time they wanted to.

Wait, this is a Bethesda game. I assumed that that was the explanation.

I wonder how much Putin paid for Elon. I can't help but imagine it was as little as a scratch behind the ear and telling him that "he's a good boy, yes he is! Yes he is!"

D&D is also as big as its ever been, especially with a latent audience of viewers who maybe don't play very often, and at a time when there aren't enough DMs for everyone who wants to play to find a table. Plus, Baldur's Gate is prime 30-year-nostalgia-cycle bait for millennial+ PC gamers.

"Legal and final" are weasel words. Plenty of things that are rigged are legal. Take, uh, the law for a gazillion examples.

This comes off as continuing to fuel the narrative while also trying to slap a "please don't sue us again" sticker on it.

Have you considered just forcing everyone to access your sites via Internet Explorer 5.5?

Make default programs support JPEG XL and the problem goes away, too, all with less Google.

This will be a huge selling point for the Teamsters of they're serious about trying to unionize Amazon.

Wow, you're running lemmy.world, mastodon.world, and calckey.world for 1200 EUR/month? Thtat's kind of incredible. Lemmy.world says you have about 28k MAU (I assume that's posting/commenting, not just logged-in users?), and mastodon.world says 37k active users (is that daily, weekly, or monthly?) So, that's 65k active users (out of 200k-300k accounts) at 1.8 cents/month each.

The costs of community owned social media are even less than I had pictured.

Anything that lands on Meta's servers is open for Meta's use, however they see fit. Providing free training data for their algorithms just isn't something everyone here is ok with.

Many of us are here consciously because we're anti-corporate exploitation, not merely because our previous hangout spot fucked around, and Meta is king shit of corporate exploitation, and we want nothing to do with anything that's helping them.
