Corporate America sure loooooves Trump…

You don’t think Pixelfed should have reels?

That was a dumb move IMO.

I haven’t been able to upload any videos.

Polestar??? Isn’t that Volvo’s EV division?

oooooOOOOOoooo!!! I didn’t even know about this. But yes.

Yeah I tried the beta before. I just got a new smartphone so I’m happy it’s available I the app store.

I hope they also add a feature for short video clips.

While it’s great that Russia is getting hit with digital sanctions, it does highlight how much we depend on majoritarily American GMAX (Google, Meta, Amazon and X) for communications and information.

The internet shouldn’t be like this. That’s how you end up with limited access to important services and price gouging where net neutrality laws don’t exist.

I feel really fortunate to have the fediverse.

It’s not because you earn less in terms of USD per year that you’re poorer. If you own a big house and have a family and can feed everyone and basically live a comfy middle class life in your country, are you really poorer? It’s all about pay vs cost of living.

I got a great cryptocurrency to present to you!

This is good advice. You want to save this for a better retirement, but not to the point where you can’t have fun in your life.

I mean 140k/year USD can be a little or a lot depending on where you live.

In New York or San Francisco for example, that’s not that high. Cost of living would catch up to you very fast. You wouldn’t be in any trouble, but you wouldn’t be considered “rich”. Even up here in Canada, in cities like Vancouver, Toronto or even Montreal, I think you’d just be comfortable but you wouldn’t be able to afford a house for example. Maybe a 2 bedroom condo.

My girlfriend and I are making nearly that amount, we have no kids, and we don’t feel rich at all. We still have to be careful with our money.

According to the analysis, the richest 1% – about 77 million people, including all those earning more than $140,000 (£114,000) a year

Wait… 140k/year is the top 1%?

Ooof. That’s deep.

And Zuck. And Bezos. And many more…

Yeah… That’s pretty sad.

I don’t condone violence, but… Man I wish that kid hadn’t missed last year.

Yeah that’s what/how this is supposed to be used. So I don’t know if that’s a bad thing. But as others pointed out, it’s probably going to be exploited.

I know in Canada the similar program, the temporary foreign workers program, is being exploited to bring in low wage workers for fast food chains for example, as well as tech workers. It’s absolutely ridiculous how is being exploited. And this is Canada!

Aside from the fact this is coming from Musk and Trump.

What do y’all think about this policy?
