How can I pass all my internet usage through California?

Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?

So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that “micro plastics” include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

I understand the need for nuclear. We HAVE to stop using carbon emitting forms of energy.

But I have never supported nuclear in the United States. Time and time and time again, history shows that corporations will water down the regulations around an industry. To the point of collapse. The problem is, when nuclear goes bad, its REALLY bad.

We can’t even get our fucking TRAINS to their destination without greed derailing them.

how many fucking oil spills have we had because of lax safety? remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill? that was due to lax safety regulations, all in the name of profit.

Please, tell me:

Why in the flying fuck should I trust the regulations around nuclear energy to hold?

Whatever you say, I’m not going to believe you. Not until the fucking lawyers of the corporations stop writing the laws for the congressmen to sign without reading or understanding.

What the FUCK is going to stop ‘big nuclear’ from re-writing regulations?

I want the regulations around nuclear to be so tight, no capitalist will want to operate under it. I want several rubber bands and a vice around the balls of whoever is running it.

I even think maybe corporations can’t be trusted with it, and all nuclear energy should fall exclusively under the management of the DoD.

So, this would cover screens as well? (that is what apple does (at least in the u.s.) to their laptop screens.)

Reddit went from the 5th most visited website in the world to the 20th. That’s not nothing.

Lemme put on my tin foil hat for a second and say that this degrading of reddit was just in time for it to go public. It could only go up from here.

I can’t predict the future, but I think this whole federating thing is good. The internet and its traffic was too localized. The people don’t want to keep being sold.

Now if we could somehow get everyone that uses a site like this to actually PAY - say - $1 a YEAR, the internet would be better for it.

Might I suggest we start paying for it this time, from the beginning? All of the sites we have been enjoying since the birth of Google have been a lie. They are all on borrowed time… myspace, google, facebook, youtube. each was loosing money for a decade before they had to start making money. We could CHANGE THAT NOW, if we all agreed to start chipping in on storage and transmission costs. I have no faith that it lemmy will last forever. eventually, it’ll get centralized somehow. But we could keep it decentralized for longer if we start normalizing having to pay for the content we enjoy

sure, its “not acceptable” that the majority of your users are democratically voting to take these subs to NSFW.

This is the last gasp of the irrelevant. Just like applebees was blaming ‘the kids these days’ and their avocado toast as to why they won’t pay $17 for a microwaved cheeseburger… That generation was out of touch with the modern consumer, and instead of ADAPTING (like capitalism says it does), they blamed what should be “their customers” on their business model failing.

Well, reddit is being just as myopic.

To them its “not acceptable” that the majority of its users have changed their minds and are actively trying to ruin the site. They just can’t accept that idea, so the behavior is “not acceptable”. Get a clue guys. Just because we keep loading your website doesn’t mean we’re going to keep being your free content and moderation generators.
