Looks up social control theory. It basically argues that we all are well behaved because we worry about the social consequences of our bad actions. You remove social control. The moral behaviours goes out the window. It’s pretty well supported framework for understanding human behaviour.
You miss the bigger picture. The shit journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazine have tried to be free in the internet.
You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.
Lemmy lives on my phone and iPad. So rarely venture into the web UI. But I use Voyager On my mobile devices.
Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.
On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.
Truth. Very good point.
Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.
It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.
Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.
Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.
My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.
Wouldn’t move back.
I am in Europe. (I also have EU citizenship so that drove my decision).
I have friends who moved to NZ to try to escape the threat of Nazis here as well (it’s not like Europe is free from the evils shredding the US).
But yeah. Socialism is great. Salaries are lower and taxes higher and I would not trade in a million years.
Find a job that will relocate you. Million times easier than the alternatives.
I did the “alternatives”. I survived. Would not recommend.
Less juicy than some here.
I keep getting ads about my employer - a B2B / B2E business. Not sure how Facebook thinks I may be a purchaser at a business. I am not.
Mod tools are not Lemmy. Give admins and mods an option. Even a paid one. Hell. Admins of Lemmy.world could have us donate extra to cover costs of api services.
To add to others’ posts. It can be a huge variety of things that risk making the service unstable, unresponsive, and worst case could corrupt data in flight.
Customers view scheduled maintenance as minor inconvenience. Unplanned outage as an annoyance, and loss of data as a dealbreaker.
So any time there was a chance that what we need to do would limit functionality - or otherwise make the system unstable - best to take the system offline for scheduled maintenance.
Basically also why Swedish barns are red. I presume those two stories and red barn origins are related.
Danes love these explicit names. Poultry is “fjerkræ”. Literally beaked beasts.
Same.
Seems to violate TOS of both app stores and likely a few laws in key markets.
But Elon never gave a hoot.
Just finished a book from the 1930s by a Czech author Karel Čapek called War with the Newts.
It’s sci-fi based on earth in 1930s but what I found the most interesting is
seeing an author from 1930s write and think on paper (casual racism and sexism, for example),
the echoes of the looming WWII
the retro futurism - I love seeing what people from the past imagined would happen with technology. They are often right, often cutely wrong.

Obviously.
And it’s not necessarily corporate. Lemmy.world has been a target and it’s just a bunch of volunteers.
I get their desire to minimise their exposure to various attack including legal.
If in GA USA, it’s not any yellow onions. You all have special onions that are sweet.
