The olgiarchs demand the AI that they control makes the decisions.

Lol that is hilarious!

It is not quite that extreme as they only have 30% of the global market. Your sentiment is correct though.

Most people don’t know this.

All trains are pretty much electric. Perhaps you mean we need trains with batteries or fed by grid electricity directly.

Rofl, the stupidity is truly staggering.

For real, Russia is calling with a word for OP.

No, not at all. Do you have any idea of how expensive it is to bring a lawsuit? What you are saying about protecting small artists is pure propaganda. Furthermore, this only matters for commercial artist as copyright is never used in 99.999% of real life cases

We will never move forward as long as we allow all of our modern culture and technology to be locked up by corporations through imaginary property rights.

What could possibly go wrong.

To even suggest someone commits violence against a wholesome cereal whose sole purpose is to rip up the mouths of young children is pure blasphemy.

Can someone report this guy!? It looks like we may have another Cereal Killer on the loose. /s

Best question here. Also, if Lemmy had a ton of users would it really be the place we want to hang out? I personally felt Reddit got worse after it blew up and a lot of people joined.

I used to sit around and talk about silly things like Linux just fine then I noticed I started getting constantly brigaded by Winblows Fanbois. Reddit turned into a shit hole of sub-par generic groupthink and I would rather that did not happen on Lemmy.

I am not a fan of derivatives and other financial instruments. The details may differ but they do definitely seem to rhyme with each other.

That was how they used to do things, and I am sure there may be some people who still operate like this.

Modern bookies use juice which amounts to small fees to make profit, balance the books by encouraging betting on both sides, hedge their bets by passing on risk to larger bookies and/or betting sites, and of course ban players if they are winning too much.

The deregulated nature of this form of gambling results in a lot of corruption and predictive betting is even more problematic.

The goal is engagement. If you don’t understand drawing as many players on both sides of the bet is the most profitable for them then you must not understand how this really works.

You must be operating under some profound misconceptions of what modern bookies for sports betting do.

That is some serious spin on a garbage gambling system that is easily manipulated. Like sports betting the goal is to try and get both sides to bet as evenly as possible and then take your cut off the top.

These markets are useful to take money from rubes and all your spin on their usefulness amounts to an endorsement that there is some value if you look hard enough. Hint: there isn’t.

“What the industry needs is a wave of innovation”

Narrator: They didn’t innovate

If only there was some site like Reddit but not centrally controlled by a corporation.

These models are obviously unsecure and should be taken down until they can be properly secured. Fuck their profits, they don’t get to make money off of criminals acts and pretend they are not facilitating crimes.

Not rapists, child molesters, kidnappers, murderers, human traffickers, spies, or terrorists!? They are going after activists… Yeah they are fucking evil and know it.
