This is the most infuriating display of sheer incompetence. You’re logged into your fucking account, likely secured with 2FA, and the chat session you start is not authenticated in any way! You have to provide basic account info… The kind of info you are authorized to change because you are logged into your account… Corporations are a wet fetid sack of dog shit.

The same dystopian enshittification is going on pretty much everywhere, you just aren’t aware of it yet.

Revolutions are actually more like a powderkeg. Once a significant proportion of the population become apathetic and angry, all it takes is a spark to ignite it. This has repeated many times throughout history. Most recently in Syria, where a decade of civil war deadlock completely evaporated in a few months.

What we need is a relatively small number people like this https://youtube.com/watch?v=V74AxCqOTvg

What happened? We live in corporate dictatorships where oligarchs can false advertise, price gouge, kick your dog, and fuck your wife… and your only recourse is a class action lawsuit where you make a few bucks after a decade.

That’s because the US is a corporate dictatorship masquerading as a “democracy”.

Those were always a virtue signal. Every C suite, board member, and senior executive of every multinational are anointed by the plutocracy. Probably for every billion dollar company. They know how to play ball and the only allegiance they hold is to the almighty dollar. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.

This is also why I am gradually untying myself from the Apple ecosystem, and all of propriety/big tech; especially US based.

When push comes to shove capitalism will not resist fascism. They will ignore all stated virtue signals and choose profits.

There is no protection from fascism. It’s bribery, and the dumbest part is MAGAzis will still throw them all under the bus depending which way the wind blows on any given day.

Dude’s clearly a dunce. There was never any chance he was gonna succeed.

Dismantle bridge option was initially chosen because it was believed the tax payers would foot the bill… I guarantee it.

Yeah. This guy seems to think “the reckoning” will be some sort of revolution, where in the real world we’re steamrolling into fascist dystopia.

While most work is hard, and I dunno how bespoke this gig is, there’s a massive difference between a generic fry “cook” and a restaurant line cook/chef.

Most fry cooks, like a Macdonald’s, are a finely tuned production line where most of the food is pre-prepped and premade (most of the “cooking” is done in a factory). The “cooks” in those roles usually just assemble the pre made components, and in the case of fast food, have finely tunes tools to serve their generic menu.

A restaurant cook/chef requires significantly more attention to detail, skill, flexibility, and knowledge because most of the food is made from scratch, using raw ingredients, which is why there are culinary schools. Real restaurants can’t succeed with a kitchen full of deep fryers and teenagers pushing buttons. Naturally, the expectation is that they should be paid more because it requires more skill, knowledge, effort, and dedication.

Don’t contact the company. They’re breaking the law, and they know it. Report straight to the regulating authority.

As others suggested you don’t need all your historic mail on your mailserver. My approach to email archival is the same as all my historic data — a disorganized dumping ground that’s like my personal data lake, and separate service(s) to crawl, index, and search it (e.g. https://www.recoll.org/)

Accurate, except Lemmy mods are more the shittiest tankies/libs of Reddit. The vast majority of conservatives don’t seem to have come here; probably to truth social, 4chan, and other established strongholds where they don’t have to ever see opposing opinions.

IMO the “replicate reddit, but decentralized” approach will be the downfall of Lemmy. You sound like you’re trying to do the right thing, but there is significantly more moderator centralization and authoritarianism on Lemmy than there was on early reddit. Most of the early reddit mods were people who genuinely had an interest or experience in that subs topic; not the tankie or excommunicated from elsewhere simply “domain squatting” dozens of popular community names and then dictating over them once they grew popular; trying to carve out their own personal safe space soap boxes. I have seen dozens of mods who’ll debate someone and when they lose they just delete all of the opposing comments and ban the user they disagree with. Often they are the one and only mod of that community.

Users left Reddit because they didn’t wanna have to deal with continued enshittification and unaccountable bad faith mods on a power trip. Lemmy only solved the former, and doubled down on the latter, while fragmenting users across numerous duplicate communities about the same topic; leading to significant post duplication amongst a sea of inactive duplicate communities.

If Lemmy doesn’t solve its core issues I don’t expect it to last long and will move elsewhere sooner than later. I feel like users should be able to join a group of communities about the same topic, and moderator control should be both diluted and distributed amongst them. As in, redistribute moderation across the user base by randomly showing a group of users a post/comment and using the average rather than relying on whoever created the sub to act in good faith. Decentralized services should be built as trustless/adversarial; expect and account for bad faith actors. I wouldn’t have any problem being required to moderate a post/comment for every post/comment I make, I just don’t want the responsibility of being a permanent mod, nor having to review every single thing myself.

House plants bro. It’s a game where the goal is not killing them.
