I am not sure communism really evr existed in big scale, so the meme is not accurate. Please don’t say Stalin was communist, unkess you don’t want to read me saying I am a pole dancer (I am not).

Lemmers?

I am quite new here, I didn’t have reddit, I come from fb. I choose Lemmy because it is not own by a fucking schizophrenic billionarie (I mean shittenberg, I don’t know who owns reddit, but it is USA and, not to offend anyone, but I am very fed of USA in general) and this for me is enough. I think the issue with our data is mainly what companies do with it (of course the privacy principle itself too matters), and the issue with centralization is that here I am free to say to an admin or a mod to go fuck himself, if I ever feel doing so. And change my instance. This is something unimaginable in the classic socials. You pointed out a list of reasons but actually didn’t elaborate any of them, and I am curious. Please elaborate.

Well we can"t know wheter the little brand we choose will be the next Nestle, but this is a thing we shouldn’t exactly worry too much about. Following this reasonment, I should kill every person I meet around, because you never know who they are going to be in the future… I think someone who knows the truth and still continues to buy from a certain brand because “it is better”, though knowing there exist more ethical alternatives, that person is just a most horrible kind of creature, not even a human being, from a purely philosopical and psychological point of view. Don’t take it personal, I don’t know what your decisions has been finally.

Well I didn’t even know the meaning of that “s”!

Not huge, indeed. It is possible, and desirable, that the EU is playing strategy with them. Maybe they hit softly now, just to show they mean to go on this regulation-path they choose, and to give a “warning”. Maybe they considered a too aggressive fine could make things worse. I’m not sure, just thinking.

Honesty and straightforwardness are no more part of the journalistic typical speech. They are mostly busy to be presentable, even when their job suffers from this.

Voice-over? Why??

Me inscribí a Feddit esperando encontrar gente mas inteligente y no los mismos gusanos que infestan Facebook. Evidentemente me equivocaba.

Very good article.

Be careful, “greatest” has never been a good match with USA. Never. My ears hurt when I hear that.

It’s not overused, it’s just that things can worsen without limit.

Though the problem is obviously not the one I am going to point out, I must say that these kind of reasonments also come from a totally wrong stance towards university, that is: you don’t want to study because studying is nice and actually can make your life a lot better and enjoyable, but you study just because you want to avoid getting a job which you imagine will be humbling and unpleasant (even though you can’t even say that because you are a teenager and you know nothing about how the work world, and actually the world itself, works). And this is really a sad thing. This is the old part of that aggressive capitalism that ended up giving birth to this aggressive entering of the AI in the working world, without any regard for workers’ dignity. People once thought that high degrees could help them to make a more enjoyable world, but this dream has failed: high degrees have been a mere means for people (at least, most people) to try not to be poor (because this is the reason for which 90% of students study) thus actually contributing to the same insane market that high degrees were supposed to be able to change. Maybe degrees will lost their appeal, maybe they will return to what they once were: a great experience for the ones who love discovering things. And so, maybe we’ll have (or we already have) lost an immense opportunity to enrich people from a human point of view. And remember that this is not just a consideration about humanity and fairness, because where there is not happiness, where people is so ignorant to think that the most that they can squeeze out of life is a good job, there is where economical disaster looms.

I’d shoot myself rather than using Airbnb again.
