Wow. Even the US doesn’t have it this bad.

Good question!
I essentially self-host my own pyfedi instance ( pyfedi is to piefed.social as lemmy is to aussie.zone ) - and thanks to srv.us I do it for free! (Well, I have my own internet connection that’s subsidized and run the software on an old spare laptop at home, so still free overall, but srv.us just provides the permanent domain name.)
Alas, the price of not paying for a persistent and unchanging domain name is not being able to choose the domain name.
Domains are pretty cheap but respect on getting it done for free

Nah just find a registrar that doesn’t charge beyond ICANN fees. Should be ~$11 per year or so for .com. That’s what I pay for my personal .com and also thelemmy.club ($12/year)
Won’t get any crazy introductory rates but you won’t get rate hiked down the road either. Cloudflare does this. Porkbun too and actually it looks like they are doing a promo of $7 for the first year right now.
Looking at it .lol just goes for $23 in general, which iirc is set by the central registry of each tld

Actually we do. Disabled people that work at Goodwill get paid less then the minimum wage here and it’s legal.
Ooof. How much less do they make? Is it worse than AUD $6/hr ?
Yes like 2.50 to 3 dollars.
Yes we do…

There was an article I read where some dude was getting paid $1.25. I have no idea why they even go to work.
Ouch! Yep, I stand corrected.
Incidentally, might this be the article that you read?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2024/08/30/subminimum-wage-disabled-workers/Yeah that’s the one!
The disability pension needs to be raised.
I mean from a logical sense of less effective less pay it makes sence.
If that’s the case, and we have all these starving people, then I have a modest proposal.

If this logic should be applied anywhere, it’s not at the bottom of the corporate ladder…
