They obviously still get the clicks to justify the cost of advertising or they wouldn’t do it. If one of them fails in a decade, no one is going to look back and say it was because they didn’t leave Twitter when Elmo bought it…

I can’t believe these giant companies put profit over morals. It just doesn’t make sense!

I’ve got an idea as to why.

I went to mastodon.social and see a Linux meme, some heavy political commentary, and a bunch of posts about mastodon being better than Twitter.

I then went to bluesky.app and see some political riffing, cute animals, a comic, some jokes, a company, and even Don Lemon.

The average person checking them both out for the first time, mastodon is nerd shit and Bluesky is normal shit.

That’s not so bad!

Your unraveling was notable and hilarious as the series went on

Do these things “just work” like the R4 for the Nintendo DS? I know that’s old as hell but it was the last console/handheld I’ve owned lol

Despite being about literal murder, this is significantly less horrifying than your Christmas series lol

Not an insult btw just an observation

Intellectual property comes before any of those things. If I paint a picture, it’s my intellectual property whether I apply for some legal definition or not.

It’s not the same thing as a copyright. Anyone can have intellectual property

Copyright is not the same thing as intellectual property though

I worked through COVID and drove a lot - I was a custom integrator (yeah…that was deemed “essential”) stopping at 1-4 homes per day. I’m less surprised by there being enough vehicles to kill with than there being enough pedestrians to hit. Seeing more than one or two people on the way to a client’s house was rare

Driving downtown from the office took 12 minutes. For context, it was usually a 45-60 minute ride. Barely anyone was on the road and I never had issues parking

It does exist because every major subreddit got a cheap lemmy copy

I feel like this community is just asklemmy2 most of the time. The spirit of the subreddit it’s “based” on was “questions that make you feel stupid for having to ask” but most of what gets posted here are just… questions.

Sorry I feel like I’m doing a really bad job expression my thoughts on this but hopefully the jist gets across

You should probably ask on a boardgame community, this is way too specific of a question for this one (and it’s not what anyone might think of as a “stupid” question)

Regardless of what he says NK is, he’s a dictator not a Communist

This is not the kind of question that belongs in this community. Not because it’s political but because there’s no real question that anyone can answer. Why does Reddit not want to acknowledge it? None of us are reddit

Round up all the anorexics and ask

Why would I want it to do that lol

adding a touch of visual appeal

Visual appeal that the manufacturer decided for me? Can I get the icon set I use instead?

Two things can be bad at once

Thank you for the opportunity!

Beeple made a lot
