#FalseAdvertizing

I hate when I see an announcement with pictures of what is clearly a hardware synthesizer, but then when I check out the specs, rather than midi ports and number of CV/gate, it shows a size measured in gigabytes.

Post a screenshot instead, so people looking for a hardware synth don't waste their time, and people who prefer a VST don't skip your product.

Been to a bunch of these DC museums and know no more about Smiths or Smithing than I did when I started #falseadvertizing

Moreover, , the parent company behind the products and is and is guilty of . It is violating its corporate mottos "Don't be evil," which later evolved into "Do the right thing" by not taking a MORAL position and developing a spine. Alphabet, Google, and Bard are just as gutless as . OpenAI and are following suit.

@steveroy There is one thing for certain... 550Mbps != 1Gbps.

What if a business "going public" (#IPO) meant being converted into a cooperative? The #founder gets their cash payout for building something of value to the community by actually *selling* it to the community? Power to the people!

I want to see laws passed that help promote and incentivize this option.

#Cooperatives reduce:
* #Inequality
* #EconomicInstability
* #PerverseIncentives
* #ConflictsOfInterest

The #profit made by a cooperative goes back into the #community, and their #leadership decisions are made by the community, because they are #CommunityOwned.

That means they'll listen if you say #climate matters. They'll care if you want to look out for the #disadvantaged in your community. They won't try to rake you over the coals with #PriceGouging. They won't try to trick you with #FalseAdvertizing. They won't try to manipulate you into #overspending or #ImpulseBuys. Because "they" are YOU.
