Finally! Someone who’s working on the issues I actually care about!
Or… hear me out… they just make their products suck less and affordable.
This will be interesting to watch and I’m not against it. I just wish they were investigating Royal Dutch Shell, Phillip Morris, Koch Industries, or Goldman Sachs with the same fervor. While Google has certainly done some evil, they aren’t even in my top 100 for evil actors that are exploiting us all to enrich themselves.
Isn’t Lemmy content being openly indexed by most search engines? I think we just don’t have the years of content here, so it’s not going to have the same gravity.
Also, I wonder about all the varied domain names of all the servers. Would search engines treat them all as separate sites, and calculate page rank for each separately? If that’s the case, the influence of Lemmy in search results would be even lower.
International Waters in the 24th century?
Understatements that keep me up at night for 1000, please, Alex.
I would like that source code for… reasons.
Who still uses Twitter for anything, much less watching videos? Hard pass.
I live in a progressive city in a progressive state, that claims to believe climate change is real. We just spent the last 10 years rebuilding the seawall that protects our precious iconic waterfront district. It was rebuilt exactly 0 inches taller than before, because increasing the height did not create short term profits.
We deserve what’s coming.
In a leaked recording, Amazon cloud chief admits he doesn’t understand software development, also doesn’t understand the current AI offerings’ capabilities, and just wants the Amazon stock price to rise so he can buy a bigger boat.
Says the person who is primarily paid with Amazon stock, wants to see that stock price rise for their own benefit, and won’t be in that job two years from now to be held accountable. Also, who has never written a kind of code. Yeah…. Ok. 🤮
The Honking is upon us! Run for your lives!
Neat. Something else to feed my anxiety.
The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so. 
“In the near future, Clear's new facial recognition system will electronically transmit members' digital identities to TSA's second-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, Clear says.”

They have not received any OSHA fines, but that’s because they haven’t submitted injury data to OSHA since 2016. But now employees are starting to self-report.
For the EO1 owners and hackers who want to keep their device running now that the company has gone bust. What’s an EO1? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electricobjects/electric-objects-a-computer-made-for-art [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electricobjects/electric-objects-a-computer-made...
I really love this Kickstarter digital photo/art frame and even though the company shut down this week, I have kept mine alive and made it work really well, better in some ways than it did before.
Here's the post on keeping the EO1 alive in zombie mode. I hope it helps someone else not throw away this cool device! https://z32guru.com/tech-projects/electric-objects-eo1-zombie-mode
I also started/hosted a community for fellow EO1 hackers to help share knowledge on how the device works. https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/electricobjectseo1
That would make him the Centaur for Disease Control.
If you have a longer joke that doesn't fit the format but is still a clean joke, happy to have those here: https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/momjokes Not trying to advertise, just wanted to help people find a place to land in the Fediverse, and doing my part to host some of it.
Here's that dad joke I promised:

A few hours ago I dropped a piece of ice
It slid under the refrigerator. I was really upset at first but now it's water under the fridge.
