we actually paid for something and got the full product

That’s generally not online platforms, though. For obvious reasons, those have ongoing operating costs

Israel: The best defense is a good genocide

… whooosh

ITT: OP just wants to vent, now he literally has homework instead.

Pretty sure that’s how it should be working on any UI.

What makes you think he’s an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?

- ‘It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it’

Is that not how it currently works? I was under the impression that’s how it works for me at least. What behaviour are you seeing?

By the same logic however, mods would have no power to actually moderate. Their moderation ability is directly proportional to their potential for abuse. And I think we can all agree we’ve long passed the point where communities are able to survive without moderation, at least in their current form (which is what OP is discussing).

Malaysian.

If you’re going to remove 90% of the content on lemmy, is there even a point staying on it?

I said EU, not UK. But it turns out they ARE licensed in the UK as well.

Revolut should be watching for suspicious transactions and blocking them like proper banks are required to do.

There’s nothing in the article to indicate this isn’t already the case. No suspicious activity algorithm will be foolproof. Also, revolut is certified as an actual bank in the EU, and subject to the standard bank regulations.

All I’m reading in this article is stupid people who don’t follow basic security practices. Why is any of this Revolut’s fault?

The autistic part is literally in the article and was brought up during the defense

Really shitty scaremongering article. I’d like to know how exactly increased investment in fusion could potentially make it unsuitable for public use, as the article claims?

Yeah no, there’s plenty of .ml users who have no idea of the political leanings of the server, I agree. Which is why I made it very clear I was kidding. I’m still keeping the instance blocked though.

Can I just downvote them anyway for being from .ml? (kidding)

For all intents and purposes, (…) as close to a real person as technology can create.

Again, I point you towards video games and how they got blamed for violence. You could have used the same statement about them 20 years ago.

The biggest danger with allowing people to do whatever they want to a sex bot is that it has the possibility to encourage dangerous behavior in some people to the point where they are comfortable doing it to a real person.

This tired old argument gets trotted out with every new technology and hobby. D&D, Video games, VR, etc etc.

The current global population growth rate is unsustainable.

That’s a myth. The current global population growth rate is dropping precipitously and is expected to hit negative rates within this century. The fertility rate per woman is at 2.3, from a peak of 5.3 in the 60s. That’s barely above replacement level. At current trends we’ll be at replacement level in a couple decades.
