+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

We could be beyond it. What hasn’t happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it’s entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

To look at this another way: the government of South Korea has decided to give people the feeling of a strike without actually letting it affect bottom lines in any meaningful way. That is, they have relegated the strike (a key utility of those fighting for workers’ rights) to being a tool used solely to assuage discontent in the short term. Without economic teeth, it cannot be used to enhance the lives of workers, which is ultimately the explicit goal of any strike.

South Korea is of course not alone in reducing or eliminating the rights of its citizens so that corporations continue to profit at their expense.

There are simply a lot fewer people on Lemmy. That’s to be expected.

I will say that the quality of conversation tends to be a bit higher on Lemmy. YMMV though.

I feel a lot less of the hive-mind effect on Lemmy versus Reddit. Not sure why that is.
