I mean, that depends on the company to some degree… CEOs of small companies often do a lot of work. But yeah, contribution to pay ratio is usually way lower than most other workers.

Doesn’t every phone have an SMS app? What’s the benefit of having SMS in signal?

The CEO is an employee, right?

Absolutely. They can’t use it back.

I don’t know, but it could be interesting to try. I could easily imagine topic-focussed servers that go into more depth on specific topics. Perhaps you would only federate things that are at a high level, or directly linked. Kinda like a wiki, but with each community doing it’s own decentralised curation and moderation…

I haven’t seen any spam on Lemmy yet, and only a tiny amount on mastodon (I’m much more active there).

Man, their website is pretty off-putting. Where’s the get-started/dive-in type page? How do I use the thing?

You can do that with NoScript too. Is the Umatrix UI any better, or are there other benefits?

Nope. Died like Digg and a bunch of others. There’s a run down here (which I only quickly skimmed): https://productmint.com/what-happened-to-stumbleupon/

What would be really cool would be an open source, federated version of DMOZ

Yeah! StumbleUpon was cool. Something about how it tried to engender serendipity.

Such a pity that so many other good recommendation engines died or succumbed to enshittification.

It depends a lot on your screen, and your lifting situation. Black on white is better in day light, white on black is much better on LED screens (as opposed to backlit LCD or CRT monitors).

Yeah, I got it. Was just commenting on the poetry of the sentence.

That’s an amazing sentence

That’s a hall mark of our civilisation/society, not our species. Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and the vast majority of cultures in that time have been relatively stable, with checks on excessive greed.

(see Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn Of Everything for some good examples.)

What problem would it solve?

What about choking them with plastic straws?

Anti correlated with search quality

Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen him say yet.

Yes, but also on broader society. 100 years ago that would have been contained - people in you’re neighbourhood would know you and help out. It’s a lot harder in the internet age

That’s kind of a myth though, isn’t it?

Like, OK, they probably have more mature security systems in place (but that’s definitely not guaranteed, especially with anything middle tier or smaller), and at least they have cash reserves so you might get something if you can figure out how to sue them.

But most businesses would be well happy to make a quick buck off selling whatever private data they managed to get their hands on.

I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t already tried to make a business out of redistributing background check information, now that I think about it…
