            I don’t mean this rudely, but in English you would say “uses Lemmy on their phone”. I’m presuming this is German grammar or similar seeping through 😅

            Only mentioning to avoid other people assuming you’re saying only men use Lemmy, not having a go at ya :)

              Thank you. Not a native english speaker here, things like pronouns are often a headache to me. In spanish phone is a male substantive, that’s where the “his” come from.

                Yeah all good friend. I commend your efforts in using a non-native language!

                I had the good fortune to grow up with English, so never judge someone for making a mistake (and can relate with my German grammar, which is pretty bad, despite growing up with that too!)

                I’ve seen this particular error often because German boardgames often are translated wrong, where they use “he” for “the player”.

                Have a nice evening!

        I’ve got the Pay-Per-Roll™ formula, it’s cheaper because most people don’t actually roll that much so a sub with infinite rolling is a waste of money.

      Does it make someone a profit?

      Must be good according to the free market.

      We will never escape the drive to enshitification under capitalism, even if we manage to get some good regulations in the short-term, a subset of reforms will always eventually be undone or loopholed.

      Line must go up.

      inb4 someone pointing out all the shitty regimes that called themselves “Socialist”. It’s not socialist unless it’s democratic, how else do the workers control society if they can’t decide collectively how to run society?

    I’m still trying to figure out how it’s legal to have massive advertisements lining roadways specifically designed to distract drivers.

      I think it was ford that submitted a patent for a camera that points forward, reads bilboards, then plays a video on your dash. I hate how shitty technology is being used all in the name of money and advertising.

      Well never reach any kind of utopian future where things just work and technology is used for good. It’s not about helping and feeding the needy, it’s all about satisfying the wealthy. It’s a disgusting timeline, literal rapists and genocidal maniacs running countries.

    What is going on? I’ve now seen two of this exact joke on Lemmy but one is this picture and the other is a video of a different dude in a different car with a different ad in the windshield.

      They know this, and that’s why they wait to do things like this until they know you have relatively little choice.

      Not that you shouldn’t care, but it’s worth remembering the guiding hand of the market is not an all powerful weapon.
