like i know these people are technically meant to be our allies because they don’t own the means of production, but how the fuck do you spend more than my family’s annual income on fast food? how are we meant to find common ground with people who are able and happy to do this?
edit: turns out this is a repost. sorry. but still, i standby my disgust
Copy-pasting my comment from the previous thread:

At first, I assumed it was satire.
Then, I went to his Twitter profile and it didn’t look like satire but I couldn’t understand how an editor for (what I assumed to be) a local newspaper could make enough to blow $25K/year on delivery.
But looking through the replies, I found someone link to this article
and this one
and it all started to make sense…
oh fuck i’ve been really online lately but i still wasn’t online enough i even checked the last few pages of new before i posted this in case someone had done it first
No worries, it happens!
This might be little pie-in-the-sky, but I’d love to see something like automatic OCR’d alt text for images containing text on Lemmy (with the option to correct/provide manual alt-text). Not only would it greatly improve accessibility, it could also be leveraged for repost/relevance detection.
lemmygrad has an OCR bot that we can summon now courtesy of @[email protected]
But building it into lemmy would be very neat ngl and would open up things like repost detection
to try it out tag @[email protected] (purposefully unlinked this to not trigger it which I guess didn’t work lmao)
Neat! I’ll have to remember to use that bot in the future.
