Because medicine shouldn’t become a flea market where you’re gambling your health against profit maximization.
Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don’t let them hyperinflate prices without justification.
It’s not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you’re buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.
It’s like
– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.
– Let’s negotiate. How about 500 million instead?
– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you’re a good client.
iPhone reveal events have become basically:
a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.
b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.
I have an iPhone, and couldn’t wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named “wonderlust”.
Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?
The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it’s too early to tell.
Behold:
sudo snap refresh
… yeah… I’ll see myself out…
Ah, but when a subreddit had mostly mods from that 10%,
AskHistorians, AskScience, WhatIsThisThing, etc.
Maybe this is another example of Sturgeon’s law.
I think they’re allowing new accounts a week of age, compared to a year in the past iterations. It all about boosting those engagement numbers.
He’s pointing out the requests are too old to be in response to the APIcalypse, not that they’re not admin requests.
Spez: See? People can’t stay away from my house!
People: <throwing eggs and toilet paper at the house>
Spez: B-but there’s no bad publicity, right? Give me money, I totally know what I’m doing, just like Elon.
The town is 85% Black, and 69% of Black people here live below the poverty line.
What the actual fuck? This is like finding a primitive, isolated tribe. This shouldn’t be a thing in the 21st century.
Especially your security programs, like third-party antivirus or firewalls. They can install system-level plugins in your browsers, and sometimes those don’t work well. Windows defender and the built in firewall are good enough and play nice with other programs.
“2040: Google had laid off thousands of employees, and hasn’t been able to launch a new product in years”
So, like 2023 Google? It’s happening!
Also, Meta/Facebook tweaking the codebase is not necessary a bad thing. While being mostly evil, it has made significant contributions to open source, maybe wait and see will allow us to copy good ideas… before defederating them, because sooner or later they will get defederated.
I don’t see them as a good Fediverse player, but preemptive defederation, before they even start to show their colors, seems like almost unfair.
Fun fact: Tajín goes well with tasteless watermelons because they’re actually sweet giant watery cucumbers.
<shows pale, tasteless spot>
Watermelons are the closest thing to biblical mana in these times of extreme temperatures. I too aspire to become a watermelon wizard, but for my own benefit.
Probably because beautiful melons had it easy, while the ugly melons had to work on their personality and talent to make up for the shunning they got from the melon community. Big Melon always presents attractive melons on media, making it harder for ugly melons.

I see Zuckerberg trying to capture the Fediverse as a good thing, but only because it will test how resilient it is, and expose any weak spots the community can fix.
Bad actors are inevitable in a federated network, and they’re supposed to become increasingly ostracized if they keep at it. Let’s see how resilient the Fediverse is against a thirsty bad actor with a deep wallet.
That was one of the first distros to support Wayland, so it has my begrudging respect.
