I think we need to be more excellent to each other. Have a good day.

Proton is a for profit corporation that has a majority stock holder that is a nonprofit. They have all the warts of a typical corporation just with an unusual shareholder.

Whatever you need to say sir.

Edit: Did mod forget to open the rest of the conversation to delete!? Look what you made the mod do sir.

No it is real, leaders are held to a higher level of accountability.

I hear AI would make a great traffic controller. Surely you wouldn’t regret replacing human traffic controllers with AI.

So many questions, so little time.

Beep boop bop

Are you trying to convince me? I already know.

As long as you pay your money America is a hall for all!

How fitting of a description of what America is.

About not saying certain things, I think that is normal everywhere and Lemmy definitely leans certain directions depending on the instance.

You are not wrong about the anti state/police stance. I have lived a good chunk of my life surrounded with the opposite belief so I don’t mind. It is nice to hear concepts that are not mainstream even if I sometimes disagree with them.

As far as normies, need I remind you that we are all different in exactly the same way.

Lmfao. Name a billionaire in America who was held accountable for their failures.

Only because the US hates women, Elizabeth Holmes and of course Marha Stewart.

Oh you must finally have the proof that she’s a spy! Hit me with the link big dog!

I am sure China will admit it at any moment. Maybe try holding your breath?

I bet you have a lot of trouble keeping your work life and your home life separate, lol.

I would need a life first, you got a spare one…damn nevermind. I thought I was bad. Cheers!

Don’t mix honey with the money.

I noticed a profound change in moderating about the time TheDonald became popular. People started getting bans after this for things they would have never been banned for before and it wasn’t the racist/sexist people getting banned.

I eventually received a subreddit ban after leaving a comment in a conservative Reddit effectively stating the Republicans should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he was. When I pointed out to the moderators that what I said was rather tame compared to other comments they claimed I was harassing them (for exactly one appeal message). I received a 24hr site ban over this which was both bizarre and confusing. I started to disengage after this and after the API changes I stopped using it completely.

I see the point but I don’t necessarily agree. Before the intense commercialization Reddit had definitely changed for the worse for me because of the influx of people.

I stopped talking about Linux because Winbros would brigade me. I stopped talking about politics because I would be brigaded by western/capitalist bros. The discussions also got a lot worse over time and nuanced opinion was almost always down voted and brigaded.

I fear the same would happen for lemny if we suddenly had a hundred million users. Having a good community is desirable, but having a ton of people not so much so.

That would take honor and accountability.

When you are running a multi-billion dollar company you are held to much higher standard because of the massive responsibility. Being involved with a spy is a profound dereliction of his duty and shows a criminal level of disregard for his company.

Just being caught betraying his family should be grounds let him go, but this goes much deeper than that. I doubt anything will happen, but letting people in high levels of leadership pull this kind of shit without serious consequences is bonkers in my book.

Oh yes, I totally get that. The right thing would for him to lose everything for betraying his country and company. This won’t happen because wealthy people always get a free pass.

This was a national security issue, it goes far beyond shareholders.

I was referring to the fact surveillance culture is from the past. In fact, the only new thing is technology. The FBI was found doing dossiers on all the civil rights people.

Cofounder. Yes it would be wonderful to see him lose it all. It won’t happen, but it is fun to think about.
