The article says climbing and walking are both accepted.

If they ban the right creator, I wonder if a bunch of mods will start breaking similar to that guy who removed his packages from npm, breaking everything

Good to hear! I love that the path of exile community did similar.

I use them. I've found the speeds to be quite acceptable, plenty fast enough to play video games and download movies.

God I need an app for this. Something where I can just scan the bar code and it'll tell me the parent company

The most effective "headphones" I've found are using bone conducting ones, like shockz, along with construction ear plugs. The ear plugs on their own do so much for noise and the headphones at a pretty reasonable volume so the rest.

The loan forgiveness was killed in the courts. The president doesn't have the power required to forgive student loans. As far as I know, the only way left to do loan forgiveness is through a bill passed through congress.

Oh how I miss RiF...

"It is just 0.001 percent of the amount Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the DSA slate (save Rashida Tlaib) gave to the arms manufacturers to provide Ukrainian fascists with missiles, bombs, artillery shells and guns for a war against Russia that poses the danger of nuclear catastrophe."

About to get started on my new bed frame to replace the one I have that was built with pocket screws.

Everyone here seems to think this'll be another nail in their coffin. But I'm not sure. As far as I know, they're the only steaming platform that's actually profitable. Plus any current users of that plan are getting grandfathered in, so they're just removing the option for new people which I think is pretty normal for services to do.

Only they know how many people are on the 720p plan. And I'd bet they've run the numbers to know that they'll make more revenue from new users who sign up for the higher tier than the revenue lost from users no longer being able to select this plan.

I'll edit this comment when I get to my computer to link to a great article about this and a history of companies effectively killing federated services

But the main issue isn't the data. It's that when 99% of the users are coming through a company, they have too much power when it comes to updates. Meta can effectively control how the fediverse grows. And if they decided to defederate it's the normal Lemmy and kbin users who are forced to use meta services to keep in contact with the same people.
