Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.

But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.

We invent the memory of choosing, about a quarter of a second after we’ve primed our muscles to carry out the choice.

Where can I read more about this?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

This is the correct answer.

Edit /etc/hosts and add

I hope there will be no compensation for miners when the supply’s hard limit has been reached. To remove the profit motive completely would be excellent imo.

Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people

What do you mean?

Oh ok, thanks. I thought it was a meme or something.

What’s the original?

Is that from within Lemmy settings or general Android settings?

Great meme, even better post description.

What’s funny is that that’s a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped “fraudulent” because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn’t help create.

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

Great things have their start like that, like U.S Cyber Command!

allowing the scraping and evading X’s own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.

Nobody is really interested in what their step sister is doing, but we don’t really mind finding out, either.

Your username checks out because the difference is a fraction of a cent. What’s more important is who owns the songs made by those musicians, and in the vast majority of cases it’s not the musicians.

The record industry (including streaming) is not worth saving. It’s a parasite.

Is Ubuntu enshittifying?

Not because, no. I think it’s greed.

This is like the “there are some responsible assault rifle owners” argument. Although corporations are not required by law to maximize investor returns, CEO “compensation” is often tied to “performance” so the incentives of those with the most decision power make it de facto required to maximize returns to investors. That’s why Musk needed to convince his board of directors (who are there to represent the best interests of the share holders) to approve some ridiculous pay package. His “performance” in their eyes is proportional to share holder profits so if they’re happy, he gets his absurd pay package, which is why his incentive is to maximize profits for shareholders by any means necessary.
