It would be funny if we made one thread of praise for Luigi, and fill it with replies to all get banned at the same time. A huge drop in users all of a sudden, sounds fun.

In Canada, most provinces do this already.

OK, but then they rely on donations or info selling for ads. Is that really better? I sure won’t foot the bill for the ceo’s multi million salary.

That’s the saddest part, I loved my 3dtv until they stopped making media for it. It was a fun gimmick, but I was definitely not “most consumers” lol

Honestly yeah, none of the crap being made right now is going to appear relevant in the future, just like 3d tvs

That’s by design.

My vote is Matrix!

I mean, I see their point, but it’s still a bad take. At the end of the day, this monopoly needs to be broken up. Also, have they tried not hiring a bunch of new executives and capping CEO pay at 300 000?

I haven’t tried it, but Iceraven has a lot of extensions available compared to Firefox. Maybe there is one to do exactly what you need?

Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.

Ukraine is getting really good at this! /s

Authoritarianism is by the leader of a state or a territory, not by some random dude on Lemmy. Seriously go read the Wikipedia page at least.

Yeah, but it amounts to asking “why is slavery bad?” You can understand why people, mostly as it is rising across the world, aren’t exactly happy that it’s even a question.

I said it’s a stupid question, not that you’re stupid BTW. But a quick Wikipedia read is enough to see that it’s not good news that many countries are kinda heading that way.

You’re defying the goal of the group by asking a quite stupid question. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc. They caused a lot of suffering, destroyed the foundations of democracy for their own gain, and you’re at the whims of if someone knows what they’re doing, because they consult almost nobody.

But in this case, yes that OP in the picture lol

Then so should authoritarianism

Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it’s surreal.

Having Elon Musk in the White House is like having a toddler who watches too much Bob the Builder

I was about to suggest that as well.

I’d wager another better alternative will come up that’ll be like Discord, get great traction, then go public, then enshitify. The cycle of crap software continues until a FOSS option appears.
