Is the Justice Department planning an exposé on water being wet next?

Amazon CEO wants his staff back in the office full time • The Register in c/technology

Both of these things can be true. You can't discount the rich and their ability to do evil in multiple dimensions with one choice.

Hey! Welcome. I understand the first year struggle since I have one of my own. Glad you decided to join and engage. If you want, join us on the Matrix channel. We have a lot of great fun talking there. Also, take we have a fatherverse community that might be fun for you as we all recount things about parenting.

Watchdog group accuses Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell of 'trying to get Donald Trump elected' by keeping rates high in c/politics
[–] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, this feels like a nothingburger. Rates have only started coming in line with expectations and corpo gouging is the real problem. No amount of high interest will stop companies charging extortionate rates. Powell has good reason to be cagey as every rate hike tanks the stock market because of the general panic. We finally have lenders and businesses getting the idea that the gravy train of nearly free loans is over.

Baby monitor recommendations (midwest.social)
 

My wife thinks I'm insane but, what experience do you have with baby monitors and what steps did you take with commercial products to make sure they weren't vulnerable like most IoT garbage out there?

It is getting wild out there. (midwest.social)
 

So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many Many people positing on "the death of Reddit" and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down.

So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.

Beginners guides (midwest.social)
 

Hi all. Does anyone in the community have a good beginners guide? I'd like to learn how to do this and don't have a great resource.

Feels like the old internet (midwest.social)
 

I'm really enjoying the switch to Lemmy. This feels more like the late 90s/early 00s when computers still required some work to use. I know it might seem gatekeeper-y but it's just nice to know the people here really care about how we interact and what we give up by using the intrusive commerical platforms. Thoughts?
