That's stupid.

The main problem with lemmy now is adoption, there isn't a critical mass of users yet.

When users see the stats without lemmy.world, they'll be discouraged from joining. Add to that the issues with federation and the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.

Way to alienate potential users.

Don't be stupid, they're doing BUSINESS and not COMMERCE. completely different things.

I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of "oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook... But what is it and how do I install it?" and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I'm not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really "just works". I have had my share of frustrations, but it's usually with stuff that's comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don't like that I'm giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don't churn my own butter, I don't build my own car, I don't want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

"Women are the best, folks. Many people say that I hate women but I really don't. Trust me when I say I love women's rights. I love their right to dress sexy, I love their right to wear bikinis."

I hope this makes less people buy used Pelotons which in turn makes Pelotons less desirable.

If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself

This just means they're a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

“It’s close. You can’t change Democrats’ minds no matter what. They’ve got a one-track mind, and that’s it,” he said.

Bridy called Trump a “working class guy like us.”

Am I reading The Onion or what?!

Tipping culture is broken. We should end the actual practice of tipping and bake tips into the actual prices of stuff.

You wish.

If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.

I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I've now successfully monetized clean air.

Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn't work as a loss leader because it's so different from all other products.

 

There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.

Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

 

A 23-year-old German-Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival by Hamas militants on October 7 has been declared dead, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

“We are devastated to share that the body of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani (Louk) was found and identified,” the ministry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A source involved with her identification told CNN Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.

 

Experts say even if it claims to be “microwave-safe.”

 
 

Bill Maher has delayed returning to his HBO talk show during the ongoing strike by writers and actors, a decision that follows similar pauses over the weekend by “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

Maher last week said he would bring his show back into production, but on Monday said he’ll wait because talks are scheduled to begin between producers and writers on Wednesday.

Cold brews? (lemm.ee)
 

Probably not the best time for this topic as we're heading into cold weather, but...

do you drink cold brew? What teas do you use for cold brew? How long do you steep in the fridge? Do you start with room temp water or cold water?

 

"average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989"

 
 
 

Do you like coasters that launch you at high speeds, or traditional coasters that bring you up the lift hill slowly? Wood vs metal?

My only claim to fame is riding Kingda Ka (tallest coaster... is it still the tallest), don't know that much about coasters except that they're fun!
