Most people don’t know that literally all you have to do is tell the government about the issue and they will spend the money to look into it themselves, as well as dealing with the court cases. It’s why the department of labor exists

I’m much younger than you think I am

Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved

I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.

Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city

I just bounce

Even during my own parties or while I have people over. Stay as long as you like, even stay the night if you so desire, but I’m going to my room and passing out at 10pm no matter what, so you do you from that point on. It’s likely I’ll also forget to tell you I’m going to bed

I’m not really certain what value nebula provides other than some creators uploading occasional content exclusively on nebula. Without nebula they’d just… Upload it to YouTube, which is free, so I’m not sure what the difference is

So it’s not Firefox

I like the post but had to downvote it because the English is atrocious

Oh sure I’m not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore

a solution for a non-existing problem

Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That’s why I’m on Lemmy, after all, haha

Which shitshow? Imo that’s like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever “shitshow” there was. It’s just a technology, there are good and bad applications

One could argue that we’re paying for it without our consent

One could argue that the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. That doesn’t make it remotely true.

Google doesn’t pay anything in taxes

Uh. Google pays a shitload in taxes. There hasn’t been a single year that they HAVEN’T paid taxes. They paid 11 billion in income taxes alone in 2022.

Which is really unfortunate because there are some actually useful, neat projects

Nebula can only afford to do that because basically nobody who subs to nebula actually watches the videos on it. They did a video about their revenue model and people treat it as a way to support the creators, not to actually watch content

They’d absolutely 100% be losing money with a $2 ad free tier. Ads make significantly more than that per user per month. Same with your “”“solution”“” for higher res video. Bandwidth is goddamn expensive.

I mean you didn’t buy it before so why would you now? You don’t need excuses. You just don’t want to pay for it. Own it.

So… A form of democracy?

Dunno. I distinctly remember doom and gloom that he’d get away scott free.

JWST isn’t going in circles, it’s orbiting the sun. If you look at it relative to that, then it looks more like a sine wave rather than going in circles. However from the perspective of the earth, it looks like it’s going in circles

#5 is the worst rule there. I’ve been called that for the most milquetoast of statements. You really have to be more specific. This community sounds like an annoying pain to be a part of tbh, I don’t have time to feel like I’m stepping on glass every day
