The hanging chad would like a word with you.

Volume.

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

My hobby is reminiscing about the days when I had time for hobbies.

Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.

23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

If someone cared about actually comparing this, they’d normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

This is disengenuous.

It is plausible that they might slow down traffic coming in via those 3rd party apps. Certainly they know, for example, who uses Infinity vs the Reddit app. Obviously they want to control the client to force ads on users.

I believe that is patented

I always have a tablet or an old phone lying around.

Yeah, I’d disable that if I could. I’d much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

That’s a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the “good bots”.

I make my own with a 1:1 mix of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Throw in a dash of lime (I use a powder so i can premix.) I just add dash to my water when I need electrolytes.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won’t show you any that are marked NSFW.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.

What is it with people who think everything they don’t like should be illegal? Have you never read a history book? Authoritarianism is bad mmkay

That’s to be expected. It’s probably an oldish image. Libgen (and Anna’s Archive, et al) have periodically drawn attention from prosecutors, not unlike other so-called “piracy” sites. I wish I had enough storage and upstream to seed their torrents. In particular, Anna’s Archive has ebooks of old books I’ve never been able to find elsewhere, regardless of price. I wish libgen had been around when I was in college.

Yeah, that’s not especially enormous compared to startups in the valley offering huge equity alongside already generous compensation packages.
