The shift will be “you can make more paperclips. Make the paperclips faster.”

I’d recommend going exactly the same speed on either, and it’s not particularly fast.

We literally have this. We call it the “shoulder”.

It doesn’t really matter. The real way to make money now is insider information.

They don’t need their company to make money. They just need to find a spot on the merry-go-round of fraud.

Well, they are already arresting and deporting US citizens, so…

Can you not just fully disabled the integrated? (At the cost of higher power usage.)

Sure, but there’s an option to do it smoothly. Just double post.

Twitter doesn’t have exclusive rights to your content. If you make it available in more places, people will start to have the option to use other places without losing much or any of their content.

The users won’t go because the content won’t go. The content won’t go because the users won’t go. There’s an easy fix for this, and it only takes a very slight amount of effort. Things like this extension help.

This is what I advocate for with Twitter. I understand creators can’t just up and move to mastodon, but they absolutely can just double post to allow others to move first.

They’re doing the ai murderbot episodes too.

Thank you. Not enough people recognize this.

Additionally, groups with an agenda can reinforce this trend.

There is no effective way to ban a person. As long as that remains true, moderation tools don’t really matter.

Israel alone is putting $760 million into propaganda. Lemmy may not be big, but it’s worth 0.2% of that budget.

And that’s just Israel.

Just do what Ohio did. “Oh well, there’s no time to fix it.” Just submit the same maps over and over until you get your way.

Yes, because Fox News is known for their facts. (No one mention the court case.)

I notice you didn’t answer the question.

Now imagine your sales declined by less than 50%

Corpo looks at this stat 2-4 weeks after they change prices. They don’t care to realize that the sales did decline more than that, it just takes longer.

Unironically. I’ve watched so many businesses fall into this trap.

Places used to make money on volume. That was the entire point of early McDonald’s. Extremely small menu served instantly. Low profit per customer, but constantly busy.

Now one of the biggest corpo metrics is “ARPU”, average revenue per user. And when they do raise prices the immediate effect is more profit, nearly every time.

People rarely look at the price and walk out. What’s more likely is that they just never come back again. Clearly management made a great change with the price increases; it must be something else driving customers away six months later. It takes time for high prices to hurt your business.

In the 90s you could get a bucket of chicken for about $10 and feed your family of five. Inflation calculator says that should be $21 now.

No wonder most of them are mostly empty.

I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.
