I think he’s trying to refute your claim that your will isn’t free. I.e. you made that comment of your own free will. Not literally asking why you made the comment.

Just finished it last week. Season 1 was decent, 2 and 3 I was really wondering why everyone had talked up the show so much, but season 4 is where I felt it got real. Quality TV, I do recommend, but I do think it’s a bit overhyped.

Work in finance, but I have a degree in computer science! Been a hobbyist since my early teens running game servers and the like for my friends. Never persued tech professionally but it’s definitely helped a few times in my career. Just helped our web dev guy a week or so ago on getting our office’s public IP so he could block it from showing up in his analytics. For now I’m content running my home lab :)

I’m putting in for Spiderman Remastered! It’s the next game on my list when I finish Stardew Valley. Thanks for doing this, excellent community building!

I mean that’s not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They’ve been shut down a lot by the courts.

Why is there an added U in Iqueland?

Yeah this is insane for me to read. I’ll say it’s about 8pm-2am for me that the world is all quiet and everything is just peaceful. I’ve had some of my best ideas and made many life decisions in these hours.

Thank you for making these! They are very enjoyable, and I’m always delighted when a new one comes across my feed!

Definitely Face McShooty

Anyone have a link to this allegedly blasphemous TikTok video?

This will appeal to a very niche audience, but excellent wordplay!

Explanation: >!In romanized letters, this spells Pishibari.The Pishi part means “PC”. Shibari in Japanese is essentially artistic BDSM, where the subject is tied up with aesthetic knots.!<

Do you have an alt on lemmynsfw.com?

Are there any good Lemmy golf communities? I kinda miss r/golf

Sorry man, best of luck. Mental health problems have become an epidemic.

Or a brothel and opiod den!

Did you find him?

I disagree with your view on IP, at least for pharmaceuticals. For most drugs, the exclusivity period is only 5 years, after which generic companies reverse engineer the product with ease and create a low-cost alternative. Without this period allowing pharma companies to make their money, there’d be no reason to invest the billions upon billions of dollars into R&D to discover and develop the drug in the first place. Most drug candidates fail, and the wins are what prop up the whole industry.

I’m not defending price gouging and I think all governments should control pricing, preferably with a single payer system (looking at you USA), but we would be so much further behind without patent protection. Especially for orphan diseases.

Don’t really agree with you on IP for most creative purposes either. There should be a reasonable length of time you get exclusive rights to something you create. But this doesn’t excuse Disney’s stranglehold on the mouse.

Huh. Figured they did that cause fedd.it was already taken. Tried the domain and it redirects right to feddit.it

Weird.

If what he says is true, that it’s going up because of driver pay, that’s good at least. Uber at least has competition in Lyft, and both have a lot more markets to enter around the world by chipping away the established local taxi businesses, which can also compete by dropping their prices…

Overall I think Uber is a net positive. But $50 is a pretty ridiculous fee.
