  This sounds like bait on lemmy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘No Palantir’ motion passes as Lambeth joins growing revolt against NHS data deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is additionally more ridiculous given that UK government has a good internal digital team

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh you only meant Western Electric Model 2500? Right…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Landlines of course were, what are you on about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t remember that at all… Was it before 90s?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This makes so much more sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why? Coz it looks pretty. You can totally come up with your own axioms.

  Panama and Sinai count as isthmuses for borders. Australia I like to count coz its 3x larger than greenland.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This makes so much more sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia is the minimum size. Isthmuses, oceans and seas are separators. Islands don’t belong to any continent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This makes so much more sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha, how funny

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This makes so much more sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only because europe insists on this tomfoolery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say, "You'll have to wait". It's a bullshit argument against Universal Healthcare.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been my experience too. Maybe we need one government department focused on healthspan, rather than lifespan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to be at peace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Internet definitely isn’t in line with peace

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose jury could say it’s an improvement, not a damage. Or that 7k is ridiculous and hence throw out the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t relate coz I’d be very intrigued by a worn blue rectangle :D, especially if it’s under LGBTQ section. Thanks and all the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the age of indie imo. We’re seeing the final chapter of studios with 100s of employees. Replacing with AI is the lazy, catastrophic way of doing through it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I feel that’s something we should bring back. Professors many a times get too specialized. A librarian taking care of a broad category would bring balance. Though I suppose having more than 100~200 such libraries in an economy the size of US or EU feels excessive too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to check - do you know that they do this, or do you think that’s the way it’s best done? - Because that is a lot of work and you’d need a lot of librarians

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How would you choose which book to get on middle-saharan 17th century tribes anyway? You can’t know about everything. You’d just have to ask a bunch of experts in the field, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism is a strong argument for Socialism.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They said that about communism. State controlling and planning every inventive in the economy is a failure any which way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel capitalism is necessarily how a large country can work but taxing wealth is needed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The beetlemania was a bit much but the beetles did pioneer new music, just look at their white album

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Housing prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So… Jimmy Carter is to be blamed? /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SD cards could have been a successor but it’s no match for the ease of a good service over internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's rigged⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably made sense at the time with reasonable minimum wage and super progressive income tax

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In some countries there are inter-operator agreements on pricing sms. You’d probably get better answers if you can tell which country and which operator you’re seeing this on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes they do - www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=13184044703…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s literally how it’s working now. The top 0.1% pays propotionately less than top 10%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you not heard of corporate/profits tax?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn straight!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any union can be a problem. On the extreme left, there’s tyranny of unions, and on extreme right, there’s tyranny of oligarchs. There needs to be balanced political leadership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn straight!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Intentional or not, packed ramen is great whatever your wealth level

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reads about Milton Friedman⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on the labor costs, it could be cheaper than a cement mixer
