What a lazy joke.

This. I’m a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.

Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.

To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.

Never going back.

Well, not necessarily, right? It could be funded any number of ways, but on YT you’re locked in to either watching their ads, or paying their premium.

Well yes, this is the problem isn’t it:

1. Monopoly X sucks
2. Federated alternatives developed
3. People complain that there’s not enough content on them

I’ve been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they’d built it on top of PeerTube.

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.

Dare I ask where he is hiding this, and what bonkers evil regimes you are referring to?

Why “never support”?

Here’s the definition of default I’m using (from Google):

a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer. (weird it specifies “a computer program or other mechanism”, but whatever)

My argument is that the default meal including meat is what makes including meat the most popular choice, not the other way around.

Sure, but you could e.g. start with slop and then let people request something different. That’s what I meant by ‘default’. Perhaps there’s a better world?

I sure there’s a fancy word in psychology, but it’s like if everyone is given choice x automatically, then it shouldn’t be a surprise that x seems to be what people prefer.

I’ve noticed a similar thing in the Subway sandwich store: there are approximately the same number of vegetables and meats available, but if you look at the menu there is just one ‘veggie’ option, and a multitude of different meat combinations.

Because humans don’t need meat to survive.

The meals will (I assume) be allocated on inmate numbers, so the animal will be reared, killed, transported, then thrown in the trash because someone doesn’t want to eat it.

More generally this is the weird ‘opt out’ culture of food, where vegan is considered the exceptional position, which is kinda stupid, in my opinion.

Do you ever get a sense of whether your clients ‘get’ just how disproportionate there income is compared to the median?

According to this $50 million puts them comfortably in top 1%, receiving median annual US income in just under two hours (if my math is good: (40*52)*(46,001/50000000) = 1.91?).
