I’m assuming you mean speculative finance and not the people in the back office making sure most businesses don’t run out of money.

The difference is probably that Woodman’s is ostensibly employee owned.

Zorque@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Pop-up Amazon streaming ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan.English25·12 days agoYou’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.

Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.
Nah, these comics are often actually witty.

Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.

Sure, you don’t have a target for anger and hatred for a little while. But if that’s your entire focus for motivation, it’s just going to fester and rot until another target comes into view. Be it someone deserving or not.

Zorque@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplaceEnglish2·19 days agoIf there’s only ever one avenue of attack, sure. Your example posits that encryption is the only security layer that exists, which is laughable. Most security breaches happen at the personnel level, not the technical one.
A site does not “become facebook” just because it’s not 100% decentralized from every other possible service. Countless other factors go into it. Not the least of which is the nature of the people running it. If you run a service, and make it nigh impossible for a general public (your main market) to use because you fear it will become compromised, you are basically saying that you will compromise it otherwise, and probably shouldn’t be running that service.
Zorque@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplaceEnglish6·19 days agoBut only accepting one possible alternative is an extreme. You can build in safeguards… but if they’re too rigorous you will drive away potential users. Much like with freedom and security, you need to middle ground between accessibility and defensibility.

I'm not entirely sure, actuallyEnglish3·23 days agoIf it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.
Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

What does “vertically only so centered” mean?

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. His death wasn’t meaningful to the party he held allegiance to because he was important himself, just in how they could spin it so they could accumulate power.
