I have read it is ‘nothing but burned cakes’ and thought, that this quite specific and weird.

We have a ‘Mr Gwint’ shop in my city (‘gwint’ means ‘thread’ in Polish, and the word is probably familiar to The Witcher players). They mainly sell various fastenings, but also tools and other related stuff. They have a big note on the door ‘Only wholesale, no retail. Only full packaging.’ But whenever I went there and asked for some screws, they would sell me much less than the full package. Friendly (to the Polish standards, that is) and helpful, unlike the sign on the door. But I wouldn’t dare asking for just one or two basic screws.

Clicking through ToS does not magically make illegal things legal.

Not shareholders. Decision makers. Upper msnagement. Shareholders shpuld pay in share value (the finantial penalty to the corporations should be high enough to affect that), bu the personal an criminal responsibility belongs to managers, CEO in particular.

The problem is that it was proven to be incredibly difficult to ‘manage it’. Even where it is legal many sex workers are often being abused and human trafficking is a problem, because demand tends to be bigger then supply (there is more people who want to fuck than the people who would like to be fucked for money). And where it is illegal the sex workers are still being abused, but not only by the industry, but also by the law and the society, which does not help the victims at all…

Reddit has much more activity and content, yes, but recently it feels more dead to me, not what it used to be. Now it feels like a very bland mix of the same posts again and again. Especially the main feed. The algorithms, bots and moderation policy made it into somethin much less appealing than it used to be. On Lemmy there is much less content but I find it interesting more often.

I have blocked one account and most reddit reposts dissapeared for me.

That is what I expected. There is a place in the market to sell more RAM and Chinese manufactureres will use it. They will build capacity to build those chips, eventually cheaper and maybe even better what the ‘West’ can do. And then the Western companies will complain, that ‘this is not fair!’. Like with all the other manufacturing we gave away to China.
