The community I miss most from reddit. Nice! Thank you.

Maybe we need a law to know which laws to follow.

I don’t click piped links myself, but some people find them useful.

As for tldr bot, it’s useful insofar it gets an idea across for wether I want to read the article, but leaves out a lot of information, often vital to the story, and leaves in fluff.

They aren’t perfect, but useful for some.

The feature my company uses is the future of the field I work in. Not saying they are wrong, just that it’s not really news that they have that opinion.

Ding ding ding! Netherlands indeed.

If there’s water to be manipulated in a way to either keep it out, or to make land appear where water once was, they are going to hire people from here.

The US!

Nailed it.

Though often the bot skips important parts and make the story confusing.

Yeah, it’s bleeding over to lemmy too when you browse by new.

Well, most are run by 1 person or a small team. None have profits. Some have donation pages, and that’s it. So they are exempt by definition.

Updated, thanks! No idea why it’s on German. I don’t even speak German.

Sounds like you damaged one of the ribbon cables. They can be very fragile sometimes.

Might be unpopular, but as a non-English native I hate that Americans need to abbreviate everything into acronyms. POSTUS, SCOTUS, AWOL, ASAP. If it’s not catchy as an abbreviation it needs a new name. I don’t mind it so much in small settings, but when you read anything about America and all the comments are full of acronyms it’s like a puzzle I never asked for.

Shitting is better than working. Next question.

I lived before the internet. AMA

Life’s all downtime when you look at it.

I swear I’m not refreshing lemmy every chance i get…

Sounds like it wouldn’t be a bad thing archiving it somehow. A lemmy archive of sorts. For preservation. Not saying my instance has a lot of value, but linux questions, fixes for games etc on the lemmyverse as a whole. It could be text only, so it doesn’t have to take up an exorbitant amount of storage.

Federation is a double edged sword imo. The data might be valuable to some in the future, like reddit is if you have a problem, there often is a thread about it. But being that most servers are self-hosted, the data can dissappear more easily than a big corporation hosting it. But I rather take it. For the support Foss and for cutting ties to big corporations.

I’m not sure if, for instance, I stop hosting my server, if the community data is archived on other servers. I’m not a programmer.

The value of information or entertainment might not seem relevant. Though the spreading of information or entertainment might.

It’s all personal. A datamining company like Google holds value in it by presenting you ads that are relevant to your interest. Considering that Google holds little power in the fediverse, the value does not come from there.

The value of spreading information or entertainment is subjective, though sometimes quantifiable in that people might buy a product because of a post. I know I bought a few games thanks to lemmy.

I short: not usually financially. Maybe mental value.

“He says that the company withdrew money that was already in his YouTube payments account.” this is the huge part not included in this summary. I don’t think an employer can withdraw money from an employee’s account. At least not in the EU.

But I’m not a lawyer.
