I’m sure this type of thing absolutely scares Engadget who has been putting out ai-like article spam even before generative AI was released.

Call it cynical but these publishers are getting what they deserve. People stopped caring to sift through their content a long time ago.

This is an odd precedent to set, and I can only imagine it leads to US companies being more reluctant to setup EU officers.

If you think only untrustworthy instances are being blocked then I really don’t want to debate about Lemmy with you.

You must realize that the moment you say “just switch to another” you’ve lost 99% of your potential user base.

It took me signing up for Lemmy to realize why Lemmy is still a completely dead network.

> we don’t care where you’re from if you’re great at what you do.

Yes, that’s true but isn’t what is happening here. They’re not bringing in H1Bs for their talent, they’re firing US workers so they bring in H1Bs to do the same job, but cheaper.

Break up ALL big tech.

Seriously. I can’t imagine how trivial it would be to just add a flag to my YouTube account permanently disabling shorts but they’d rather make it per device, per 30 days. Forget what we want to watch, we will use YouTube they way their PMs want.

All paywalled sites should be added to this.

Well, you’re wrong. Level 60 is incredibly fast to reach with how exponential experience scaling works. I can tell you’re not that knowledgeable about what’s going on with D4.

That sounds like exactly what the person you’re replying to did. What are you trying to say?

Also ironic that a paywalled news website is publishing something about people avoiding the news.

Costing money isn’t the problem. The problem is that people already have too many subscriptions and they won’t want to pay for one, let alone multiple sources that would give them a balanced feed of opinions/ideas/political viewpoints.

I’d argue checking out of news completely is more beneficial for society than paying for a single stream of ideas and the bias that comes along with that.

I imagine by the time a lawyer is experienced enough to be given a seat at the Supreme Court that they’re well past the point of needing an income.

With that being said, I’m not surprised in the slightest someone as corrupt as Thomas would have this opinion. Ginni Thomas and Clarence’s defense of her has forever tarnished the reputation of the Supreme Court and I don’t want to hear another word from his office. His replacement honestly cannot come soon enough.

Is there an official scientific name to the phenomenon of boomers ruining absolutely everything?

Yikes.

Blame boomers.

The generation that invented participation trophies then started a culture war over them. The generation that espoused capitalism and made ever facet of human living and enjoyment cost money. The generation that destroyed privacy. The generation that destroyed the climate. The generation that believes resort towns in Mexico are more dangerous than large US cities. I could go on.

I grew up riding my bike across town as a teenager and being home by the time the street lights turned on. Kids these days don’t have that, and it’s showing.

GoodRx, and now this. What United States policy failure will be monetized next?

I’m starting to think our politicians don’t get anything done so it leaves “problems” for capitalists to ~~exploit~~ solve.

Am I reading this wrong or are you really suggesting that vaccines were the cause? I knew a portion of HN was vaccine skeptical but this is something else.
