Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. in c/technology@lemmy.world

Fuck off with the big pharma apologetics.

Boo hoo the corporation got millions in taxpayer money to develop a vaccine and now they have to profit off of it. I feel so bad for them.

This is subtle astroturfing.

graceful degradation: the opposite of planned obsolescence in c/technology@slrpnk.net

What do you mean "nothing to do with"? The title literally says "the opposite of planned obsolescence", which is planning the failure of a device. This is showing the planned continued use of a device when parts of it fails.

What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I hope that you enjoy it! I've heard that the Vancouver screen in Langley is a bit iffy.

Question about servers/hosting/federation in c/main@sh.itjust.works
[–] clausetrophobic@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

@thedude currently pays for the server out of pocket and ultimately has the powers around here, but chooses to run the server diplomatically along with their admins/mods. There are some ideas in the works about how to pay for the server including buying our own hardware and crowdsourcing costs for hardware/energy use.

FPS titles with great environmental world-building? e.g. Alien: Isolation, Metro, DOOM '16, even Portal 2 counts -- games that feel like real, lived-in places and not just a series of arenas. in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

If you haven't already, playing Black-Mesa -> Half-Life 2 -> both Episode 1 & 2 are the perfect examples of what you describe. So many details and stories in all the levels, and you are just a guy passing through

Is anybody else more active here then they were on Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I feel like I have seen more conversations on Lemmy about Reddit than original content

Your attention didn’t collapse. It was stolen in c/longreads@sh.itjust.works

Yep.. which is the challenge. The only word we have is ADHD, but really it's so much more complex.

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts in c/technology@lemmy.world

Which is great.. until it becomes influenced by all the other AI generated crap.

With all the chat about bot accounts, do we have a number to compare to? (sh.itjust.works)
 

What's unique about Lemmy is that we get to actually see the number of accounts and members, unfiltered. Do we have any comparable numbers from mainstream social media that can give us a baseline from what is a normal amount of not accounts being created, what is more than normal and what is less than average. I'm assuming that all social networks face this problem, we just don't usually get to see the numbers so dryly.
