    They are not exactly bribes. Rather undisclosed preferential consulting jobs or hiring promises. It's quite easy to follow money in bribes. It's somehow so: after they finish politics careers, they get hired as highly paid consultants for their preferential treatment when they were politics

    You described equipment for pretty much climber. You don't have shops every corner in the mountains and sleeping overnight happens sometimes due to bad weather. Sub zero temperatures are the norm in the mountains

    We have still Anna's archive, scihub, libgen and old fashion traditional libraries ( including the national ). National libraries won't disappear in the nearest years, maybe will rotten due to defunding but still they will exist

    Nothing interesting for 99% population. Tech blogging is the hardest stuff and most tech youtubers pretty much stopped contributing. What's the point of sharing knowledge if any gamer on twitch has bigger audience than you maybe 200 - 300 live watchers and it's the a good number of viewers for a very well known polish security researcher ( ex Google ). So you know why social media is going shit

    It's not about on purpose but usually most people don't care about what's not in their interest. Today interests are usually quite shallow what tiktok shows quite well. Libraries do require money for operating. Even internet archive and wikipedia

    It should be

    Strawman argument. I didn't write it you sneaky b...rd. I wrote marketing perpetual licenses which in most cases do include "perpetual updates". Still nobody has proved me othetwise by showing EULAs

    Once again if you bought a product ( like boxed software version ) yes ( with no support ). If you bought a service it's impossible. People still believe that something may be free

    No, they are just impossible to offer. Imagine such a license given to company which can "live" for centuries. Impossible. Perpetual licenses are almost impossible to offer. If they are possible it's calculated that 99.999% of them will last than the expected timefrime np 3 years

    Perpetual licenses are just scams. It's always startup type trick to get new clients during on-boarding phase for startups. It should be forbidden. It was similar for uber when they were undercutting opponents with their under the cost prices

  • I am writing to ask if there is a way to clean the lemmy feed out. As far as I see, mastodon follows rss like subscription model while as in lemmy i get plenty of politicial, memes, controversial stuff even if I don't subscribe them. I am tired honestly to block pretty much all such communities and it doesn't help too much too because there is plenty such communities f.e. "onion" "not onion". How do you deal with setting lemmy to serve you only technology / science / news ( only related to tech and science ), cosmos, engineering ones and arts ones ( photography, paintings etc )? I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I struggle to use lemmy as a new user
