Eh, I think there’s a need for appropriate technology here. Lemmy is inherently a multi-modal platform, with images, links, and text. I like the browser skins and apps that browse Lemmy.

As an educational project or simply for fun I say go for it.

I’ll give you 50c on the dollar!

In the next 7 days I will get:

I got this.

What a weird question…

Fair points

What do you mean in your second sentence?

No, bombs and the defence industry was not was I was on about. I see your point. Yes there’s been some downturn recently, but the tech industry has always been cyclical. It’s difficult to get hired today, and there’s certainly favoritism towards senior employees.

My point was simply about economics; supply and demand. In my university, about half of all degrees issued are in the arts. If employers want someone with that kind of training, then they have all of the selection in the world. Compare this to a tech company. If a tech company wants to expand their business and they need to implement a technology to do that, depending on what technology it is, there might be like, 1k… maybe 100k, maybe 1M people on the planet that have that specialty? Employers are going to pay a lot more for a person with that kind of training.

Supply and demand. There’s less people in STEM so they get paid more.

What? Because of the elections? I feel like it’s always been an excellent time to delete social media accounts haha

They updated their description of how their search engine works. The new description is still factual, while being slightly easier to understand. The new description also has some fancy marketing flair. They still make it pretty clear that they use other search engines via anonymous calls.

I wouldn’t call that shady at all… Unless maybe I’m completely missing the point here.

I think this is a fairly benign move with a valid explanation that has been taken out of context in order to be more inflamitory

Not the best? I like high effort posts and comments…

I used to follow /r/Canadianhousing2 on reddit. Very right wing, conservative, simplistic views on the housing crisis in Canada. I realized eventually it was a cesspool of hate and racism and stopped.

This is an awesome idea. Subscribed. You should do a starting post in January as a reminder!

I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.

Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn’t know!

I think it attracts a certain type of person to Lemmy in the first place; someone who would have probably used the original Reddit back in the day
