  I wonder if there is any inherent defence against slop on Lemmy. I guess if an instance doesn’t prune it’s user base of bots, shills and other slop merchants, it could be black listed by other admins of other instances.

  Looking at the requested penalty makes me wonder why they didn’t request one trillion. I mean if you are being blatant about your ulterior motive to scare off further investigation into your unethical practices.

  Anyway they now got the stink on them. Any railway operator dealing with them will have no one but themselves to blame going forward.

  I see an interesting parallel to the nationalisation of UK coal back in the day. Basically, the collieries prior to nationalisation were critically mismanaged. So, the government bought them off the private hands. However, the valuation was too high for an outright purchase, so the Government bought the infrastructure in installments. This meant that as an award to the previous owners for severe mismanagement they got regular income without having to do anything to get it.

  I think there’s a lesson in there, some where.

  Not gonna lie, this is kinda a refutation of the whole open source model. I was led to believe that it shouldn’t matter who writes the code, as long the code is able to be interrogated/corrected.

  If this is any guide, there should also be an upper limit on age too.
