It was big news 75 years ago too.

You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.

Where else do you imagine dividends come from?

Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.

It’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.

When accused of crimes, deflect by admitting to even bigger crimes.

The UK made an invisible weapon?

This is entirely doable, but you may need to do some manual network configuration.

Or having a button to refresh RSS feeds.

I think it comes from the right place, though. Anything that’s smart enough to do actual work deserves the same rights to it as anyone else does.

It’s best that we get the legal system out ahead of the inevitable development of sentient software before Big Tech starts simulating scanned human brains for a truly captive workforce. I, for one, do not cherish the thought of any digital afterlife where virtual people do not own themselves.

Discord sucks and nobody should use it.

Since you are all knowing, explain to me exactly how deep earth mining is less costly and better for the environment than deep earth drilling.

Easy, just compare the amount of pollution required to make a battery and a solar panel with the amount of pollution required to extract and burn fossil fuels for the equivalent power output over the duration of the renewable’s working lifetime.

Oh, and don’t forget. Fossil fuels are useless without an engine to burn them, so you need to account for those infrastructure costs as well.

Do you want the math or would you prefer less reading and more pictures?

Patreon deserves to die, their cut of the subscription income is extortionate for what amounts to a very limited web hosting platform.

Open-source alternatives like Mirlo or Cloud Patron will take its place, it’s only a matter of time.

You’re joking, but you’re right.

Once the content has been created, the near-zero marginal cost of online distribution makes the concept of charging for copies wholly untenable.

The furry community figured this out years ago, our creators work on commission or paid subscription through Patreon or one of its ilk. They (mostly) don’t care where you freely share their work because they already got paid.
