American companies pay more because they have huge investors. They have huge investors because they know the company won't have accountability to do things right because they are in America.

You also probably won't get that 200k job either because of it. You only get those super high paying jobs if you know someone and you get that by going to an elite college

You are correct, we do on average make more here. I just don't think you realize the extent of financial parasites in talking about. I'm not just talking about government taxes. I'm talking about constant, consistent payments you have to do for being poor here for everything. There's no accountability for proper business conduct here unless you have money.

Wait you can even view reddit on a 3rd party app at all? Which app playoffs the $10m to still work with reddit?

I think you have a misconception of what is like here in America. Everything else is not fine here. You aren't realizing the huge lack of safety nets and the inability to get basic funding for anyone that has no money.

That 100k loan has interest. You don't get that 200k job right out of college. You only get that if you are extremely talented, lucky, or know rich people. The vast majority of programmers here make much less and when you take out health insurance are making about the same as what you make in Europe.

Meanwhile, you have to find a way to buy a car here because you will literally die here with out one. You find a way to buy a junker for 5k (that's what they go for here). Your car breaks down after a month on the job. You just missed a day at work that they fired you for it. Now you have to find whatever job you can quick because you all have to pay that school loan, rent, food, and car repair bill. The sheer amount of financial parasites here is staggering.

Is that even possible?? How can the app developer not know?

Let's take location for instance. Google can send to the app no data or the location. The app developers can tell if no data is sent back.

Google would have to develop, on its own against its own financial interests, a way to send random locations to the app. The app develop is going to easily see though that this data is not correct.

So even if Google decided to invest in this for the users, the app developers are still going to know

Someone explained it a little better in another post. It will not erase my content. So if I'm logged in under my lemm.ee account but post on a lemmy.world instance. If for some reason lemm.ee got defederized, my post or comments would still be there at lemmy.world I would just not be able to use my lemm.ee account going forward.

It seems like this is the way to go like OP says

Same. I would love for someone to create a real debrid - stremio equivalent for music instead of video.
