No, they'd be able to afford the best lawyers. It's the poor who would be punished the most. We already have fines for not recycling properly, even though the rubbish all gets mixed back together in Turkey or China and burned anyway. We have to use soggy paper straws with our drinks while the rich blanket the atmosphere in burned fuel from the private jets.

No. As the effects of climate change become worse, people will migrate to cooler places, which will only push up prices in those places. Poor people will be left to live in uninhabitable and uninsurable areas, while the rich will get to live in comfort.
Climate change is essentially a class struggle, like everything else in life. As long as the 1% don’t have to suffer, nothing will be done. To get the rich to do something about climate change, it will have to affect them directly.
Now all he needs to do is to connect his own management of Twitter to its failure.
At first I thought this was a new Marshall amp.
I find it disturbing that there are people out there who spend much of their time thinking about new ways to get people to see adverts. Surely it falls under the "bullshit jobs" category that David Graeber once wrote about.
Reddit brought back r/place so Redditors could have somewhere to vent their anger rather than making subreddits private or other forms of protest. R/place is a distraction and the majority of Redditors fell for it.
This. All the signs point to Spez being done with Reddit. He wants out, but not before he makes as much money as possible.
I've been on Lemmy.world for about a month now and have hardly seen any porn at all. Not sure what these people are looking for that is getting them so much porn.
Journalists and politicians love Twitter for some reason. They're the only people keeping it alive right now.
I'm starting to think Spez is depressed. He probably had visions of being a Billionaire tech bro by now like Zuckerberg and Musk. His only thought these days seems to be how to monetize Reddit, regardless of how he destroys it.
I don't bother pre-ordering anymore. Can't afford to. Most AAA games are £60-£70 on release (up to £90 if you want the Upgraded Super Deluxe Gold version). I wait until a game goes on sale before I buy it. By then all the bugs have been patched and most of the DLC has been released so you get a better experience.
No, it's a strategy to sell you an expensive cable. Apple always do this, create a problem and offer an expensive solution.
