Why did they even do that?

car makers just jack up their prices so they make more off the subsidy

Exactly.

Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.

You are. Still not doing much to corporate greed.

When you run a server you are free to allow all the illegal content you want – see how that plays out when the cops come and confiscate all your hardware.

Again, that’s only when you actually host illegal content. Just hosting discussion about piracy isn’t enough for legal action. See: r/piracy.

Either way it’s not an excuse to ban the whole thing.

It’s only illegal if you actually host pirated content, which is banned on c/piracy.

Advancing in a defensive war is typically winning, yes.

Just gonna say that what you just said about Islam is not true. At all. I could link sources but they’re in Arabic.

I mean that’s definitely the best move in the short term, but they still need to cultivate an environment that encourages having children.

And now they got support from current Israel government.

Hasn’t that always been the case to some degree?

I mean this is China. This is the one-child policy coming to bite them in the ass.

I mean in most of the world they are until we crack efficient energy storage (see: California).

Let’s also not overestimate the scheming of tech tycoons are either. I believe Meta is making a blunder and I don’t think we should stop them.

You shouldn’t underestimate it either. Even if this isn’t their intention now, it’s something they could easily do whenever they feel like it, and do you really trust Meta to have that power?

We can always defederate if Meta actually does something objectionable. But I see no reason to defederate before we actually know what federation with Meta looks like.

I don’t hate corporations out of principle like the other guy, but there’s no way this is gonna turn out well for the Fediverse. That’s just not how Meta does things.
