Its an app? No i still have a dumb tv. 50 inch plasma that has lasted 10 years now i think. And I like that its not smart, so it doesnt talk to random stuff on the internet.

I guess I will replace it soon but when I do, that tv gets no internet access. :)

The original post on lemmy.ml by the creator of Lemmy had a lot more details, so maybe just link to that one?

Tldr: They are down to about 1000 dollars per developer and will have to take jobs and stop Lemmy development if they dont get 2500 dollars per developer.

Depends very much on the source of those problems. Looking better can absolutely help in most cases. Maybe not for you.

Always liked Japan. Also a very beautiful country, with very humble and intelligent people.

Yeah very much. Now its about profits, so quality goes down and price goes up. Modern farming.

You are paying for their programming, not their opinions. I dont think its a big deal if they have flaws or opinions i dont agree with.

So they dont like trans people. How does that even matter? Any trans person can use the platform anyway. The code doesnt have any opinions, its just code, and that code can be used to support trans people. The little opinions of the devs have no effect on this.

I cant believe how spoiled some people are here. We have a platform, free of ads, quality mobile apps, lots of instances, quite a lot of users. And its not owned by big tech. We own it.

Focus on the pluses here. I dont think another Lemmy will come along anytime soon. Alternatives are not even close in quality.

Go to the gym, it will make a world of difference. Lifting weights is not even difficult (like cardio, I hate cardio and never do it). But the extra muscles will help burn fat and make you want to eat better to get nice gains.

You are not going to be depressed when you start to get a nice body.

I have doubts its the same for the body. Vitamins from a pill and vitamins from proper food...

I dont know why you say we in this context. Almost none of us have any control over the decisions of "the world". Its run by billionaires with their paid off politicians, corporate lawyers, judges...

Russia is very corrupt, China as well, USA is getting there...

The problem is not overpopulation, its that humans have no power. What if we wanted to stop spending money on warfare one day and focus all that money on building more high tech buildings, lowering prices of housing, increasing wages,....you know, positive things for humans and prioritize happiness for everyone.

Sounds like a dream right? Because you cant do that, you have no power. Thats the problem, not overpopulation. That can easily be fixed with money and visions, expanding public transport, investing in high tech trains etc etc.

Currently it feels like the only way the world would be able to work together for the good of humanity would be if there was a big asteroid coming, and everyone needed to work together for once, putting our little stupid differences aside. We could do that, but leaders are children and very low on empathy or interests in making life better for strangers.
