in what way is buying a competitor not inherently anti-competitive?

If someone has a history of anti-competitive behavior, preventing them from buying competitors is perfectly logical

As planned

Nope. Wasted questions on animal/plant/mineral when that paradigm isn’t accurate enough for a machine I guess.

Seemed to understand alive vs not.

Now its just the kids aging into mario kart abilities, like my niece who just asked for this for her bday

Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

I’m just here to enjoy all the new content and memes they hopefully make. I bet a bunch of my switch-only youtubers make some awesome videos about it

do investors base their requirements for money on logical criteria or is just ‘more this year than last year’? It seems to me that publicly traded companies led by investors act like children failing the marshmellow test

They don’t care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn’t maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

Guys I think … I’m feeling some ‘disturbance in the force’ vibes here …

People were saying that about cryogenics.

Humans have a vast body of knowledge about how things work. It’s a shame its dwarfed by the vast body of knowledge we are completely ignorant of.

Much as scientists managed to be surprised that life had evolved to eat garbage in the pacific garbage patch, it seems some will manage to be surprised that when humans eliminate one source of mortality, another inevitably evolves to take advantage of the ever-growing supply of humans.

‘people posting stuff you consider harmful’ is not a simple, black and white issue. Anyone who pretends that allowing all opinions has no consequences is full of shit, anyone who claims that tightly policing opinions has no consequences is full of shit.

Like almost everything in life, you will have to navigate a tenuous balance between these two things and you will never know if you got the balance right. You are just a sack of meat doomed to die.

I generally assume their ratings are gamed, especially for smaller shops. I know I’ve been asked recently (in the last year) to review the company I’m currently working at on glassdoor by a superior. As you can imagine, I gave the place a good review.

A year later, they’ve laid me and all but 1 dev (the CEOs buddy) off and failed to do basic shit like send COBRA info and agreed upon severance payments, but their glassdoor doesn’t reflect that, because glassdoor doesn’t make it possible to edit reviews past 30 days. I suppose I could go delete the review at least

I’m just curious if you’re a tech worker? (or a teenager interested in tech)

I ask because I feel like people who work in tech are basically exposed to the dangers of web privacy all the time. I remember having to implement a facebook pixel on a website, and realizing the network of surveillance that facebook have spread across the web at that time. So I have pretty decent privacy behaviors, still far from great but maybe slightly above average.

But when I go to the doctor and I mention how often I eat fast food and drink alcohol, or when I go to the dentist and admit I don’t floss everyday - I’m sure those people are thinking ‘most people seriously don’t care about their health’. They might stop short of ‘fucking idiot’, hopefully.

Developer of the Web

I know typescript but not rust. Ive been hearing a lot of chatter about Matrix - do I install and join a server to get plugged into the dev community for lemmy? Or where should I be hanging out to get an idea of what needs to be done? Github?
