Shrinking is pretty chill. Kind of reminds me a little bit of Ted Lasso in that people aren’t total pieces of shit and try to learn from their fuck ups. Also, Harrison Ford.

My point is email isn’t just a domain. It’s a client and a hosting service. You were forced to use their domains if you wanted access to their web clients, free storage, etc.

No one chose Gmail early on because they wanted the “Gmail” domain. They chose it because of the web client and massive free storage.

I guess it’s back to heat pumps.

I’m not saying open software isn’t awesome. I’m simply correcting a common misconception.

This analogy gets used a lot here, but it ignores the fact you literally see users struggling, asking for help, then giving up.

Also, email had a lot of things helping it out. Many ISPs would (and still) give people an email address and set it up for them. Moreover, mail web clients like Hotmail and Gmail didn’t pester people with domain selection. Average users didn’t pick a Hotmail or Gmail domain because they were thinking about the domain, they got it because they were thinking about the features that the web client and host offered.

Sure, but instances / servers confuse most average users. We see this every single time there is a new big migration wave. People don’t get it, then bail.

Bluesky is a registered public benefit company and Dorsey is no longer with the company and no longer on the board.

That’s a lot of door frame molding

Pharma companies pay for their own efficacy and safety studies just like car companies pay for their own crash tests. They’re required to.

The trick is to practice malicious compliance that targets Trump, and not American citizens who want watchdogs.

If I’m looking for another EV with decent range, then options are pretty slim.

I always knew he was crazy, but I never thought he was “kill democracy” crazy. It’s a spectrum.

I remember a Telsa sale rep telling me “Telsa’s software was better.” In the parking lot I proceeded to show them how much better voice control on in my CarPlay vehicle was with media, messaging, etc.

There are many things that Telsa’s experience is absolutely better at, but when it comes to voice control and integration with a phone’s OS, their software still feels dated.

Problem is, most Telsa owners still have cars that have many good years left in them, and buying a different new or pre owned EV will be a hit to the pocket book. Especially after selling a rapidly depreciating Tesla.

I get why people are saying “fuck it, I’ll put a sticker on it.” Selling and buying a new car isn’t a thing many people want to do at the drop of a hat. I

Sorry, I’m hard of hearing. I think you asked for extra genocide? That’s our new chef’s speciality!

“I don’t want basic Genocide, I want to evolve to stage 2 Genocidonite”

Good news is that many landlords excel at this level of craftsmanship.

Good call out. We definitely need to clarify what is “political” more than what is there now.

I don’t think that was me that pulled it, but after listening to the song, which is dope, I probably would’ve made the same call.

Basically anything that spends a significant portion of time focusing on a politician, public policy, or geopolitics, we’re asking those to be posted to /polticialvideos. This video might have also been getting rule violation reports from the community.

Given the current wars and recent elections, political videos were becoming a large part of LW videos content. I personally have no problem with it, and I like political videos, but a lot of people in the community kept asking us to bifurcate.

We’re trying our best to do what the community asked us to do. It’s definitely an imperfect and subjective process.
