Gross and grosser.
  • The only bad thing Bill Gates ever did was say that poorer countries needed to pay for Covid vaccines. That was horrible and he backed off.

    Almost all his other shenanigans was being a Billionaire stealing from other Billionaires.

    People forgot that IBM was a monopoly worse than Microsoft. People forgot that Netscape was a billionaire backed corporation. MS stomped on some little guys too like Stacker. But it was someone who made $100M on a good idea and thought they could milk one idea forever.

    To put Bill Gates in the same category as Musk is like saying Biden is the same as Trump.

  • Discounts
  • I think it's designed that way because Sales VP's get bonuses based on new sales, not retention.

    So there is an unspoken market force that causes service companies to churn customers. Senior executives want you to leave because the competition is doing the same thing.

    All competing companies sales teams benefit from churn as long as all companies work to alienate their customers and make them switch services.

    When I ran an isp I had a customer complaint about new sales being cheaper than loyal customers get forwarded to me. I realized my mistake and cut prices across the board so loyal customers paid the same as new promotions. But very large companies are an old boys club. The CEO isn't going to piss off his VP of sales so the game goes on.

  • Let’s get tactical about this. Here are three ways to break free from the super-saver trap:

    What? Is the media trying to get boomers to juice the economy at the expense of 0 inheritance for their children?

  • DrDisrespect Joins Anti-Cancel Culture Hub Rumble After Scandal
  • It's anti free market.

    Conservatives invented cancel culture with cancelling the Dixie Chicks. "It's a free market! You can't tell anyone what to buy!"

    Liberals agreed and stopped buying products by bad people.

    Conservatives, "NOT LIKE THAT! CANCEL CULTURE IS ONLY FOR CONSERVATIVES!"

  • Definitive answer for silk touch?

    I'm new to Minecraft and did a lot of googling but everyone has a different answer for silk touch.

    Does anyone have a definite way to get it with an enchantment table?

    Some say you need to be level 17 and have 9 bookshelves before it will show up (random). Others say you need to be between level 20 and 30. One says 30. Another says you can just keep trying over and over using a grindstone to remove the wrong enchantment before trying again.

    The mindless violence. And the way it's going, I sometimes wonder if we're even holding the line.

    Deleted posts should create an auto reply to the creator.

    I replied to a post in a thread (about how my 15 year old burned DVDs were going bad and what I was doing to remedy it). The thread is still there but my post is gone. It wasn't an argument. It was a reply to someone asking for data backup options.

    Some auto generated explanation from Lemmy would be nice like : post deleted by owner. Or posted deleted by moderator.
