  • Capitalism in theory vs capitalism in practice

  • I think it's silly to get caught up in definitions too. Cory Doctorow calls the bottom panel "techno feudalism" and I think that's pretty good.

  • Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media

    Jump

  • This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It's really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn't get bogged down with technical details.

  • I said this elsewhere too, but the bottom panel depicts something other than capitalism, since capitalism definitionally requires a competitive market.

    Companies that are ostensibly in competition but not fighting each other too hard, is just another way of saying they are not in competition. It's not capitalism.

  • We DO have very explicit laws against it, they have just sat unenforced since the 80's (except for a few brief years in the 2020s).

  • I don't want to defend capitalism, but the bottom panel depicts activity that is technically very illegal in the US (but antritrust laws have not been enforced by the FTC since the 1980s, barring a few short years in 2020s under Lina Khan).

    Capitalism definitionally requires competition, without it you have... something even worse.

  • Industrial Design Firm Creates Perfect-Fitting Bike Helmet with a Novel Adjustment Mechanism - Core77

    Jump

  • Not gonna jump on a Kickstarter but I like the idea behind this. Does anyone have experience with these automatic brake lights? They don't seem like the best idea to me but I'm open to being convinced.

  • Is it really doom scrolling if it's just true?

    Jump

  • Exactly, otherwise it's just, well, scrolling.

  • The growth of the network*

    There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.

  • I think Reddit is trying to shift their platform into a media sharing social (like Instagram) rather than a discussion forum

  • Um are you aware what community this is
