ok. fine. now do an overall emissions savings, end to end, factor in no having to pay Russians, Venezuelans, and Arabs for gasoline, and get back to me
does that remindme tag at the end of your comment work? does it work natively for all lemmy instances?
This is fantastic, the downside of course, if the general population being taught by their governments that COVID isn’t to be feared, but lived with, and most importantly “worked through”. The capitalist system doesn’t function without it’s workers, and the corporations don’t want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling everyone that COVID is over, and there was nothing to fear in the first place, while in the span of 12 months over One Million Americans died. Corporations, aided by the Right Wing bigots, don’t want COVID air detectors anywhere, as they would invariably detect COVID. Reminds me of that movie where the king said to save arrows, and send in the infantry, because arrows cost money, and people cost nothing.
literary fuck off
He’s pushing, that’s his job to do, and he’s doing it. NATO is trying to stop a world war, and Ukraine, unfortunately happens to be caught in the middle right now, and that’s NATO’s job to do, and their doing it. This is terrible for Ukraine, of course, but the rest of the world is ok with it being terrible for Ukraine at the moment, unless it spills over, then all bets are off. Ukraine just has to hope all the weaponry is enough to get Russia to relent, but I think Russia is pretty much all in at this point and won’t.

I don’t trust any reported numbers, I wouldn’t trust watching the tick go up automatically, all the Mastodon servers are being flooded by bots all the time now, the admins are doing yeomans work blocking and cleaning, but real user numbers are impossible to come by.
I just know, I’m much happier not supporting Spez, Zuck, or Musk, and leave it at that, anyone else wants to join, they’re welcome. Except Nazis, fuck Nazis.
In big tech 30 million is a rounding error
Twitter didn’t lose anything, Musk bought Twitter because he thought it’d be a goof to trash, and because he wanted access to Saudi Arabian markets to sell his electric cars and rocket ships.
These stories are so fucking annoying because they purposely miss the point of what’s actually happened.
Elon Musk personal worth went up 97 Billion dollars since he bought Twitter, he’s now worth, on paper 248 Billion. He can take a complete loss on the investment, and not be any the poorer in real terms.
your VPN provider, sucks, and is leaking, so they can see all your traffic, and sue you for it, after they cancel your service. get a better VPN provider like NordVPN, or another major, and STOP using whatever the hell VPN you’re using now, it might already be too late
******* This happened to me, one of my posts had it’s photo deleted (I didn’t delete it), then when I replaced it, the next time I checked the entire post had been deleted.
bullshit
I’ll be watching closely, and if I see any META THREADS bullshit show up on this instance’s community titles / comments I’m gonna send a strongly worded message. Then I’m going to find another fucking instance to move my account to.
When companies like META show you how ruinous they are the first dozen times, over and over without end, you believe them, and you defend yourself, or you deserve every bad thing that’s going to happen to you, when they repeat their corporate driven ends at your expense
This is the dictionary definition example of a win win
protip: corporate debt is not the same thing as out of pocket debt, no one is understanding this lol

If you join a social network that *Mark owns, you get what you deserve, and he gets all your correspondence to mine and sell forever and ever and ever, tying it into all the other data the web has “anonymously” collected about you, even using different usernames, vpn’s, and email addresses. ta dah!
