Sinänsä ei yllätä. RKP ja Kokoomus ovat perinteisesti vastustaneet harmaan talouden tutkimista, mistä tehty mennä vuosina myös paljastuksia.

Sinänsä sopivaa että tämä uutinen tuli samana päivänä kun otsikoissa oli erään kansanedustajan pakastinkylmä käteinen.

Tässä kohtaa on myös hyvä muistaa että harmaan talouden työryhmä on yksi niistä harvoista rikoksia tutkivista alueista jotka tuottavat enemmän kuin kuluttavat. Eli toisinsanoen säästöt ovat miinusmerkkisiä.

There are 53 #Mastodon t-shirts left in stock. It would be cool if we could sell everything in a weekend. And I'd love to see pictures of folks wearing them once they arrive! 😀 #Merchtodon

First of all, it's called WADING, not trespassing.

Second of all, it's a FOUNTAIN, not a "water feature."

I have to admit, I feel like if you’ve seen one cave you’ve seen them all

Proposing that Lemmy or Kbin could substitute for Reddit while not acknowledging that lack of search makes it impossible to find the appropriate groups in a decentralized maze of servers is very on-brand for the Mastodon crowd.

The path of least resistance states that some big company owning social media isn't a problem, until it is.

If things seem competently run, you'll give them a shot, start posting, entering a bunch of personal data, tell your friends.

I think it will be harder to convince people to do that going forward. We've had a sort of 'social media reset' the past 6 months or so, and if anything, it seems to be accelerating (as all the big platforms start doubling down on really bad ideas.)

Ultimately the web is transient, and stuff can change over time, and a site that was once trusted can lose that trust.

Better, I think, to exist on a platform where no one owns you, your data is exportable (and importable, some places) and your follow graph can move with you.

You get to watch flameouts and personalities and bad admins in realtime here, too, lots more of them than just one.

But you're ultimately not beholden to any of that. You can move until you find your people, and your followers come with you.

That's just not a thing anywhere else.

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a...

The Monkey Island games were my introduction to point-and-click adventures and will always have a special place in my heart. From the start, 'Return to Monkey Island' gives the exact same vibe. It feels both like playing another chapter in the Monkey Island series, and at the same time the new aspects make it feel better tailored for modern point-and-click gaming. Personally, I find the art style just beautiful too. Hits right in the nostalgia.
