Based on their early mode and communication, I think this was always the plan. VC culture is toxic 🙄

Indies are great. I can play AAA titles but don’t really ever… It seems like that is where the folks with the most creativity are focusing their energy anyways.

The fact that Facebook can do that because they have their little buttons that are embedded in so many webpages is redicilous.

Firefox multi-tab containers combat this, right?

Yeah, I remember mouse gestures with Maxthon being awesome.

This is the way. We should have servers that are community only and user only, imho.

What percentage of the market is daily pass vs seasonal pass, I wonder? I think it’s close to half at the big resorts. I feel like mountains (and mountain ownership groups) are pushing hard into the subscription model which means a lot of those people are paying less than the surge cost for the day, but a lot of people are also paying for a year pass but are sitting on their butt at home b/c they don’t actually have time to get out.

On peak days, both people with onesie-twosie passes and the people with annual passes are out there, I bet.

Iowa also has county names on their plates as well. I think it is probably a mix of:

1. that’s how we’ve always done it
2. kinda cool to see where people are from and display where you’re from
3. makes it easier to spot “out of place” cars for suspicion/police reasons (bleh, probably helpful in racial profiling too. pessimistic take…)

Also just guesses.

Yeah, Reddit posts with pictures of reddit posts and comments is not uncommon (IIRC). It’s pretty common practice and this forum…tis a silly thing to ask.

That’s really steep for what you’re getting, I think. As a “PC Replacement” at home I can see there being a place for this. If you don’t need local compute, why not stream it. Steam Link was $50 and has the same basic concept, except for games.

The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the “under God” part they added in 1954.

Agreed, outside of union employees (teachers, police, teamsters) what employer is paying into pensions still? Certainly no small businesses are, right? Pensions are largely dead. I don’t know the numbers, but small business owners bigger costs are providing healthcare and other benefits, not pensions. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but this person sounds like they’re a centrist democrat on both sides of the economic/social divide.

Oh interesting…the plot thickens!

For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.

Didn’t LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

We have a house with a Kennedy sign up front in our neighborhood. I just don’t get it. At least with Trump you get the whole cult of personality thing which can explain it.

That one says “bonkers idiot lives here” instead of “racist lives here”

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.

I think that’s the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they’re available.

They’re probably close to the same amount of inconvenient. The cash tip jar feels better than doing the custom option which feels like I’m specifically trying to tip less (at least that’s how I feel whenever I use it). I don’t like feeling that way and would rather feel positive about dropping cash in a tip jar than feel bad about adjusting to a similar tip on the screen options.

I know it’s stupid, but it’s just how it makes me feel when using the screen.

In the US, I’ve started paying in cash to combat the aggressive tip buttons (your options are: 20%, 30%, 40%, or Other). With cash, I feel free to provide a reasonable tip for whatever service and they see it and appear appreciative, even if it’s not the 20% the little tip screen attempts to strong arm you into.

Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a “lemmy” keyword search.

I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.
