I guess if you are insulated from the american economy?

This is a bad sign for Microsoft imo. A lot of the "return to office" stuff is about shedding employees without doing layoffs.

You can get banned for voting on Lemmy.

I don't agree with a lot of the things the founding fathers did or said but the quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" rings true even at this stage.

Because lets be honest here everyone knows that they will be sentencing innocent people with this.

Someone's gunning to be the first trillionare by selling sex bots.

I just realized I don't think I've heard anyone talk about ghossty since it's public launch.

You're not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because that post at a much higher rate than a person can.

Holy shit its wubuntu again. Can't these people just go away lol.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don't want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.
