Wait, it’s not about being pro-life!? I’m shocked! Shocked I say! Well, not that shocked.

I don’t think value to society weighs into the equation, just the ratio of salary to ownership wealth gain.

There are bad people in the working class that are a net detriment to society, just as there are good people in the owning class that are a net benefit. Those good and bad deeds don’t change how they accrue wealth and therefore don’t change their class.

This working class isn’t a morality judgement, it’s a wealth ratio per individual.

According to Forbes, on average 60% of CEO compensation is equity. In short, I was wrong. My bad!

Working class means your primary wealth generation tool is selling your labor. The compensation plans vary widely, but I think most CEOs are earning most of their wealth through a salary vs returns on things they own.

You can hate it all you want, but that’s what working class means.

This is my biggest frustration with these posts. We might not like it, but CEOs are still working class. Most of their wealth is derived from a paycheck. They aren’t even the owning class. They’re rich AF, but they’re a symptom more than a problem.

In an alternative universe, family is just Jewish and the neighbor is now forcing their religion on their neighbors.

What’s the zone of avoidance at the top?

Is it just what is obscured by the center?

I think the goal should be slow continuous growth. It’s a social media tool and that requires enough engaged users so it doesn’t feel dead. As you pointed out, we’re not there yet. I also think a huge jump in new users would be detrimental. Without central leadership of traffic and hardware Lemmy requires longer to respond to changes in user load. Nothing would be more detrimental to adding long term engaged users than an influx of new users that caused infrastructure overloading.

We’re very spoiled with reliability these days. People are not interested in unreliable access to their doom scrolling (myself included, unfortunately).

You have some good business sense. That’s a good target market for your product.

He just needs to make it an employee owned company. I believe it would make it a stable institution.

There’s a skatepark near me that is still bumping. All ages, all times of day. There is even this guy who lives in his car that comes out an practices DJing out there. It’s an awesome little community.

Oh Dec 4th, Universal Healthcare Day? One of my fav holidays.

Great call! Completely forgot about batteries and potato power sources!

This writeup is such an interesting perspective of social media.

It’s the medium for the human hive mind. It’s civilization’s consciousness. It’s beyond any individual’s control or comprehension, and it exists for advertising…

Gotta be the Scops for me, bro.

Does this mean go out and buy toilet paper?

Honestly, fantastic explanation!

Hydro, wind, solar, and wave/tide energy capture are not.

The crazy part is photovoltaics are the only power source that doesn’t spin something to make electricity. Truly an outlier.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. I was under the impression that according to official canon Isildur was traveling to seek Elrond’s council on what to do with the one ring when he was ambushed and killed and the ring lost.

Edit: I’ll correct myself, I was wrong. He was on his way to Rivendel, but not to consult with Elrond about the ring. He was going to pick up his wife who stayed there during the assault on Mordor.
