Well, you should care about it because that's how online communities get ruined. Case in point: Twitter has become a propaganda tool for an apartheid-loving fascist since he bought it.
A distributed service is much less vulnerable to being bought up by a single narcissistic billionaire who can ruin the online experience of millions of people at once.
A distributed service like Lemmy is spread out over 600 Instances in countries all over the world. If someone buys the most popular Lemmy Instance and wrecks it, those users can simply move to the same communities on the second or third or fourth most popular Instance and the original Instance will wither and die. This also works for communities with power tripping moderators. You can quickly find out through a search which community is the "real" one by the number of subscribers it has.
Also, make sure you own at least one media giant. Then, you can use it to spread agit-prop about how our society shouldn't do anything that inconveniences rich a$$holes.
At this rate, we're going to have our first trillionaire by the end of the decade. How much is enough? How big does that pile of money need to be?
The guy is literally too stupid to stop hitting himself in the nuts. And then he blames the "deep state" for making him hit himself in the nuts.
Businesses that knowingly buy fake reviews, procure them from company insiders or disseminate fake reviews will be penalized
Penalized how much? How big are the fines?
Another vote for Linux Mint. I finally switched from Windows 10 months ago and I love it.
I'm really enjoying the learning curve with Linux because I'm not always fighting the operating system. On the other hand, every time I've had to go "under the hood" with Windows (edit the Registry, change config files) it's been to stop Microsoft from doing something sh*tty to me.
And never, EVER disable JavaScript on that website and reload the page! Not even if your Ad blocker lets you selectively do it.
Because that's what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.
Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.
I've played the original "Deus Ex" for years and I'm still discovering new things about it. I don't even have to worry about Windows anymore. I can play it with Wine on Linux.
Dwarf Doc isn't a medical doctor, that's just his nickname. He's a drug connection.
Yeah, they have a weak union. Or one that is a little too cozy with USPS management. Also, air conditioning has been standard equipment in cars for at least 30 years and they had to fight for THAT?
This link lets you enter a Lemmy instance name and it will tell what other Instances it blocks and who it is blocked BY.
The power required for this level of AI won't be used for faster delivery of pizzas. It will be used for surveillance and control. For world domination shit.
