Yep... And every time there's an employment issue for the agricultural industry, they whip out the prisoners...
However to the prisoner's credit: They do an absolutely terrible job at whatever it is they're doing.
Why? What are they going to do... Fire you? Jail you? You have no incentive at all to do the job well as a prisoner.
Bonus is by doing a horrific job it makes employers less likely to actually request prison workforces.
The nothing phone never got me really excited
The concept was neat but not great.
Framework laptop remains my new hope for the future of laptops tho.

Please remove Quora links...
Every time I click a Quora link it takes me to a completely unrelated question to the one I clicked on.
I swear that site is doing this deliberately to make it seem like it has more traffic than it does.
Reddit worked very hard to protect all anti-nazi imagery and stop people from posting anti-nazi sentiment. I'd like for someone to acknowledge that they silence anyone who posts anti-nazi shit and who speaks about killing Nazis.
Many are here because of that.
I have news for you...
They forget the users are their base, not their employees, or are bought by idiot billionaires who think they can turn the platform I to another money printer (or tax write-off)
Spez in particular saw Twitter and thought that would be a great idea.
I don't think he understands he's about to be CEO of Tumblr 2.0
"We had a 2% reduction in profits this year guys, ðŸ˜"
"The company lost money?"
"What? Oh no! But we made 3 bn in profits last year and we only made 2.8bn this year... So to make up for the shortfall, we'll be reducing 401k contributions."
"...didn't the CEO get a 200million bonus-"
"WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SACRIFICES!"
It's why everyone stopped making agreements with Russia. They have no obligation to hold to the agreements, their word is worth nothing.
Legit, my entire account and all of the accounts that ever touched the OFFICAL reddit app, were all removed when I made a comment "Yeah, punch a Nazi, with a bullet."
The accounts were all insta/perma-banned across all of reddit for this one comment.
Basically reddit was defending Nazis.
I am kind of not too sad to see reddit start sinking.

Deleted my X recently - not looking back.
About fucking time.
Oh man...
Can't wait till they see Nimona.
I'm convinced that Elon is intentionally killing the platform.
The most blocked accounts turned out to likely be the Bluechecks, because these guys paid to be in replies, a d their opinions are 90% trash.
On Twitter I basically always block the new Bluechecks, there's even a hashtag(that won't show in the search e.e) called 'BlockTheBlue'.
We thank you for many things over here - and very few of us expect Lemmy to run smoothly with the reddit refugees coming over.
I, for one, am thankful for text limits not being a thing!
However having to select my language on every comment is a bit... meh? Hopefully that can be something delegated to a user setting drop down down the line... but this is still Beta, so I'm not busting anyone's chops over it.
Dig that hole deeper and deeper.

I wish this wasn't the case! Was part of one of the carpet bombings
working on bringing mine over. hopefully nosleep comes with - they've been on the fence
The intrusive thoughts are winning ...
I have a user that I made after my site-wide ban... but only for my Subreddit (Which I still cannot fully control)
Apparently stating: "Kick your local Nazi in the face, with a bullet" was offensive to the Reddit Admins.
That's their claim, but it's not like I'm advocating killing a person or anything of value. I'm advocating to kill a Nazi. That's just being an American Citizen.
Nice
Thank you! Glad to see it's working, and yes it is.
Already seeing some stuff superior to reddit (post length, thumbnail attachment, etc)
Right....stock as collateral in a loan.
It's amazing what bullshit Billionaires can do.
Also those losses are per corporate entity so he gets to use those caps multiple times on each corporation and on himself.
Buying Twitter and tanking it lets him write off a huge amount of money for 2023 and get his taxes back from the previous year.
Also he gets to leverage Tesla stock as the company is growing more fiscally viable... Why does that matter? Why sell before it takes off??
Elon bought Twitter with $12.5bn in loans... Secured with the same value of Tesla stock. He didn't sell it...
So it's almost free money. If the stock takes off he can make out like a bandit, pay the loan off with 1/2 the value of the real stock once it rises, but despite making money can still claim an overall loss on Twitter....
This is why he doesn't give a fark if Twitter lives or dies. If Twitter dies it's a write off, but because half the investment is literally a loan against Tesla stock he still treats it like free money...
Ah, that's good to know!
I put my community to English/Espanol as my coauthor is fluent in Spanish - but I hope other than that it's just a hold over.
I can confirm if Windows ever required a subscription I'd be swapping to Linux so fast. So Fast.
