If they want to link pay to attendance then they should also compensate the employee for the time he/she takes to get to and from the work place.

I would imagine people with huge followings and money to burn. Once the paywall is up, those huge followings are going to shrink fast.

It doesn't look like he'll be joining Mastodon. Maybe some day.

From George Takai today on Mastodon:

We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?

We'll just have to wait two and half years.

In the end of the article, the author plugged their competing platform so this isn't a neutral opinion. I still agree with it. A federation of online retailers would be an interesting idea. Given that it involves exchanging money for products, it would be a lot more completed than kbin, lemmy, or Mastodon.

Brick and mortar store do it too. Pharmacies sell name brand drugs and their own generic version next to them. I buy the generic version. I would like to lose that option. Amazon is a different story.

I don't think Trump's lawyers have anything to worry about. If Trump had anything to prove his innocence, he would have brought it out a long time ago. He may even say he has all this great evidence, but now his lawyers won't let him produce it so you'll just have to trust him.

The escalation may have nothing to do with the slow demise of Twitter. It may be the case that the liberals have gotten used to one level of trolling and ignore it. Trollers then have to become even more extreme to get their attention.

I kind of like the "troll-industrial complex", but agree on your over take on the writing. Gone are the days when writers could produce great alliterations like "nattering nabobs of negativity".

Decades ago, the Russians developed a tertiary computer using -5, 0, and 5 volts. It went no where probably because it wasn't much of an improvement over a binary computer.

I was a lurker on Reddit unless I had a question in a technical forum. Here, I post on lemmy/kbin because the communities are smaller and welcoming.
