Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.

Now Netflix fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.

If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.

People are willing to do it, if there's no service that's worth it's money.

Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.

Maybe, just maybe, MAGA supporters will one day realize that the reason there's so many foreign bots making propaganda about Trump, is because he weakens the US.

That's a good point. But The Führer is not something positive, and I wouldnt think much about it.

I'm don't think this was an intentional way to make him sound better. I think we should be much more aware of fact checking what it says, than overusing a historical word to describe Hitler. That might just be an AI thing.

Tbh, from a historical point of view, The Führer was used to describe Hitler. Now in Germany, it's basically only used to refer to him.

I'm not for deleting history, and I think the context is important. People needs to know why The Führer or "der Führer" is bad.

A context which I think would have helped in another example would be the N-word. If everyone was really taught the history around that word, I think/hope alot of people would think twice before using it today.

Or is that only me?

Jesus would've hated America. I think according to the bible he lost his shit twice - both because of capitalism.

Most games being released aren't even worth my time, let alone my money.

I dont think you are in their target group then.

If it was me, I would suggest that everything where you can post stuff to a feed/on a profile is considered Social Media.

Direct messaging is not. But if they implement other features into the app, like stories, it's Social Media again.

I think worst case, they will rewrite the rules, and it only buys Motorola time. Which is still a win for them.

Should be illegal for a company to comment on the stock market. It's basically manipulation.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

Because these rules are not about you and me, but are important on a much larger scale.

They wont. The EU went up against much larger fish for protecting the consumer rights.

Allowing this would automatically allow Apple and Google to do the same.

Exactly my point, which means you missed it.

The things you quoted pointed to the things making CEOs less important, while other points the opposite.

So just to be very clear about my point: CEOs are very different jobs. Some can be cut, some cant, because CEO doesnt really mean anything other than "person in charge".
