I’m one of those guys, IOS phone with windows PC. There really isn’t much out there that is as convenient as IOS, but theres no way I would use a Mac, as compatibility issues and more expensive hardware will ultimately hurt functionality.

Because for the first time in 14 years money is no longer free.

Right now the interest rate sits at 5% and it will remain there for the foreseeable future. Investors no longer have the patients to wait for growth because bonds are actually investable now, so all your “get user first find business later” companies began to panic and tries to squeeze everything out of its users.

Hilariously, the only social media company that will come out of this relatively unharmed is probably Facebook, because their unethical practices actually makes money

thats what I thought too - until I actually signed up for Nebula. It took me a week to exhaust every creator I wanted to watch.

No regrets because I do enjoy the content, but their catalogue is absolutely tiny compare to youtube.

Rumor has it that wearing knee-highs and short skirts improve coding efficiency by 50%

I will always be horrified when your local mom n pop shop expects you to say your credit card and security pins out over the phone.

These days larger companies have terminals that accepts keyboard input, still not ideal but much better than saying it out.

I don’t think you’re been harsh lol, the right to secrete ballot is literally in the universal declaration of human rights.

Open ballot is a well known method for intimidating and blackmailing participants, it’s absolutely crazy that Fedivese operates this way. But even worse, seeing so many people here supports it.

Town of Salem moment

same, and this will compound as less flossing leads to tartar build-up, which makes flossing/brushing even harder.

On another note, get a waterpick, its a life changer!

Quite similar, I use “order consumer” as you can apply a lot of concepts from finance and economy for a regular consumer, it also makes a bit more sense consider someone can both consumes and create order, e.g. they pay their taxes (creates order) but also litter (consumes order), and its only a problem when you consume more than you create

In a community, whether if it’s online or your local club or just society in general, it requires admin/moderator/judges/law enforcement etc. to put in hard work to create rules and order so everything function smoothly. In a sense, the “order” they create here can be treated as a commodity.

A user can do things that helps out the moderators and create order (e.g. taxes, volunteering), or break rules and cause chaos, which “consumes” order (e.g. criminal activity, riots, trolling etc.) . Order consumers refers to people who consumes more order than they create.

Where the_donald migrates to after they left reddit

I have tried many forum-styled site over the years including the politically more questionable ones, and from what I see theres 3 hurdles a site need to pass in order to be good:

1. it needs good infrastructure, especially user interface (where 4ch, most forum, and now reddit fail)

2. it has some gatekeeping to filter out the “order consumers”, but not too much that it drives user away, including having a toxic environment (where 4ch and .win fail)

3. it needs to have enough user generated content so thay theres actually reasons to use the site (whre most reddit clones fail)

from what I see lemmy has passed all the hurdles, and I have good hope the fediverse will stick around

I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.

iirc Yamaha was making mechanical parts in WW2, and that department survived after the war by switching to making motorcycles
