Granted. World War 3 breaks out which brings the worst human's rights violations that you can think of, followed by nuclear annihilation.
Sure, capitalism fell but so did 95% of humanity. What remains are some small groups of people suffering in the post apocalyptic hell, and the ultra rich who enjoy a life of luxury in their underwater bunker city.
Granted. You can see your character sheet but there's almost no new information on it.
However, now you know for certain that we live in a simulation. This gives you an existential crisis that you can't deal with for the rest of your digital life.
Granted. You can travel back in time but doing so alerts the Time Police from the 27th century who instantly track you down, take your ability away and imprison you for life.
Granted. You suffer a car accident which completely paralizes your body, but your mind is still the same. You have nothing but time.
We're almost there already, MS serves ads on the Windows lock screen and sometimes they sneakily install bloatware with updates, like Candy Crush and Titok. Having to watch ads before opening apps doesn't feel too far off.
Granted. Stakeholders fire him because they think he doesn't moderate the platform enough. A new guy is put in his place whose new team insta bans anyone who speaks out of line. What's the line you can't cross? Anything that goes against Reddit's current sponsors and advertisers.
Spez starts a new social media site that federates with Lemmy. A bunch of old Reddit users flock to that new site, making it the most popular fedi instance. It has all the problems of Reddit and more, and it starts to heavily pollute other instances. Spez pays off Lemmy admins who want to defenderate, ruining this place forever.
I agree, and even if it could I don't think it should.
But there also should be some kind of mechanism to deal with members whose interests no longer align with the rest of the EU.
Not necessarily kicking them out or punishing them because they are out of line, but cutting funds seams reasonable. We get that money for specific reasons, and if they are not spent to meet those goals they should no longer be handed out.
I like to "annoy" people whith small "things" that are insignificant "alone" but add up over "time". Kind of like "overusing" quotation marks in "posts" and comments.
that's not even a joke, I'm using intellij community as a merge and diff tool exclusively. it doesn't support the language I want but even without it it's better then anything else.
A ban usually means that the account is closed forever, while a suspension is temporary.
But even if it's not, brands like to distinguish themselves by using different lingo to their competitors. For example, even though Lemmy ~~is a Reddit clone~~ is heavily inspired by Reddit, they use different words like community instead of sublemmy.
The title is misleading as the event will be hosted by Nordic Sun Records, not "Hungary".
According to the article the Budapest police stated that they will monitor the concert and step in if try to start anything.
This is a different bad ending, much faster and with more intentional suffering.
