I kind of like it, because it becomes a small club where all members know each other and control each other. The product price is directly linked to the quality of the product, so all producers have a vested interest in controlling their neighboring producer.
It also makes sense for agricultural products, where certain climate and earth composition influence the outcome a lot
Still in the rind. Chances of eating it unless you specifically want to eat it are nill
To balance the animals ecosystem, we reintroduce wolfs, for the human ones, Hun’s and Vandals
TMobile recently dropped 3g I think. I have an old iphone (4 I think) and they could not get my sim to work on it because it did not support 4g.
So you know the Lemmy instance Lemmy.world? Well, there is another instance called hexbear… Which is full of hardcore, Stalinist communist. And every user of every other instance hates them
Italian from Veneto here, eat with fork and knife unless its a slice from a fast food like Autogrill/ eating standup
The problem is that humans are subjective in my opinion. Water is not (or at least not the the degree humans are). With the same pressure, all water freeze at the same temp. Ask a Minnesotan or a Floridian (just to remain within the US, can use Greek/Norwegian for EU) what “cold” means, and they’ll have VERY different answers
As usual, there should be a bit of flexibility in there. I am not saying “oh, it’s 0C, therefore ALL water in all town is frozen , lets wait until it gets to 1C so all water melt”. But more on the line “oh, its around 0C (+ or - 5C), lets be careful while driving because some of the streets might have ice”. Farenheit freezing temp is 32 I think? Thats VERY arbitrary. A lot more than C.
I always found fahrenheit a lot more arbitrary: in Celsius 0 is the freezing of water, so if you are driving/walking, that is a very important temperature to look out for. Also 30 being hot or 100 being hot outside does not really make a difference. Some people find 30 hot, some other find it OK, since its subjective anyway
Who would have thought? Not me!
I quite like Chromium. Maybe is my tinted glass when I just switched from Firefox/Explorer. The fact that your browser would pop up almost instantly instead of taking those 2-3 seconds to start was quite revolutionary (Firefox of course caught up quite soon on that regard, Microsoft had to adopt Chromium to do the same).
But yeah, the current bloatware and resouce gourging are quite bad when looking at it impartially.
I think there is a thin line there, which has been crossed.
Talking about Reddit drama is fine. But when 90% of the posts here are all about Reddit (or Meta/Twitter vs Mastodon) it seems to me that people are just salty.
I came here because I gave up on Reddit, and I am looking for a reddit substitute. What I wish is to find here the content I would normally find there, so that I am not forced to move back to that wonderful website, sadly managed by shitlords (as the other 100% of profit driven websites. A lesson hard learned).
But if my feed is spammed by 90% stuff about Reddit and nothing else, that is not the way to growth or make people stick around.
I see a couple of ad “emails” entries in my promotion side of the inbox, usually in the 3-4 rows, and I also use both adblock + uorigin. Again, not really disrupting, because its usually a section of the inbox I dont go into too much, but I can see it being annoying for others
So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.
Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!
We are evolving. Just backwards!
The main problem of linux is that 90% of the downloadable software out there is written for Windows. And so are 90% of the games.
So it depends on what you use your PC for.
I think the issue here is not which browser is better, but companies not respecting your preferences and use scummy methods to make you switch. This might be a Microsoft issue now, but I can see it becoming a slippery slope and have more companies in the future do the same. Lets say that Microsoft succeed here: whats stopping Google to do the exact same with Android. Then you end up to keep in sync your favorites in 3 different browsers (Safari, Edge, Chrome. Firefox gets shafted since even if you use it as default each company will force its own browser) depending on the OS you are using.
I think this is the main point: they saw how the latest anti trust lawsuits went (especially mergers), and decided it was the right time to push it again. If this goes to court, prepare to be anal blasted by Microsoft. The only hope is that this turns into a battle of companies, so that Google and others can finance the opposite side to get the anti trust resolution to pass.
149 to send a ping to locate a car? For an API call to lock unlock? How many API calls are worth 149 per year? In which world?
