IRC still exists. You can just like… do it.

SMH damn kids don’t even know about the before times when leaves didn’t despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10

Another thing not being considered by all the “judge doesn’t know anything” crowd is that they’re failing to consider that this case isn’t really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

It’s about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.

She has no memories and got abducted as a child. Of course she has issues.

You’ll never believe who Oprah brought into the mainstream.

I’ll give you a hint: literally all 3 of the people being talked about (Dr Phil, Dr. Oz, and Jenny McCarthy)

The only one giving decent controlled responses here was, as I sort of expected, the new CEO. Everyone else I got the fake apology vibe, especially from Yvonne.

Terran has his work cut out for him, and I don’t really blame him for taking 6 weeks to be a fly on the wall (it’s generally good to learn the current process before coming in and making massive changes) but this week has not been good for LMG and we will see if he manages to make something good from this experience.

Especially things like the Madison situation. I could see him being unaware of it until now, but now it’s time to address that as well.

Holy shit.

So much of what she says is not just horrifying (seriously, feeling the need to hospitalize yourself for a day off), but also straight up illegal.

Retribution, hostile work environment, straight up harassment, not to mention evidence of “constructive dismissal”. (I’m using US terms but I know these have equivalent laws in Canada)

I’ve had some pretty bad jobs that have destroyed my mental health, but none of them come close to what Madison is describing here and I am so happy that this is coming out. This is the sort of thing people need to know about LTT and LMG.

I mean I completely agree with you in that the semantic bullshit is bullshit, my point was that Linus wasn’t even correct in his attempt at BS because GN didn’t use the word “sold”. GN used the same word that Linus is attempting to say is totally different.

GN also literally said “auction” not “sold” in his first video, so Linus’s response was doubly stupid.

Same, pittsburgh.

Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I’m back and more active than ever.

I start paying local news after about 1 article per day, and usually more like $20/month not the £10 they’re asking for.

Pay up or stop expecting them to give you unlimited service for free.

Hell, I’m paying my local union paper $25/month to support their strike against their corporation and I hardly read their stuff at all.
