The person who decided a headphone jack is superfluous should be found, tarred, feathered, and left naked and alone deep in the alaskan wilderness covered in pigs blood for the wildlife to enjoy.

I feel like these are just establishment hit pieces. They do it every time to up and coming platforms..

Not to mention, It isn't a given that they win.

I ANAL 😏 but in order to claim their fees are excessive, I'd expect that the plaintiffs would need to show that they are substantially higher than fees in other circumstances. I don't think 15-20% is unusual for other software stores, including the google play store which has a number of competitors on android, or steam on PC which also has a number of competitors on PC.

Seems like no matter what the movie was like, it was never going to be for conservative men. Seems like a waste to dwell on it.

I've been preferring new or top X hours ago, then just choose the X for the last time you visited.

I think Musk is just living out his 90s/2000s edgelord fantasy. "I AM THE OWNER OF X. X IS EVERYTHING... TO THE XTREME!"

If not on Lemmy.world specifically, it'll be allowed somewhere (even if you had to create a new instance to host it)

The wonderful thing about federation is that everything is allowed, it's just a matter of how much your neighbors want to tolerate you.

I'd definitely subscribe, sounds like good fun.

Presumably because that's what lots of people are searching for.

Otoh, Google giving insane suggestions is sort of a meme by itself so who knows what they use?

I think at first it didn't. As much as history tells us everyone was watching, the reality is that he had some long hard runs through many areas where he wasn't getting much recognition and wasn't getting many donations either. Someone from British Columbia walking through Quebec faced some serious challenges in 1980. The big cities speak English, but a lot of the smaller communities along the highway are very French and don't really speak English.

That thankless run across Quebec, where he was getting run off the road constantly by drivers, barely any attention, and few donations, it must've been a herculean task.

If I had to guess, I think it's probably the Cancer Society that was sponsoring him was able to pull some strings and make his arrival in Ontario on Canada Day (July 1st) a really special event, he met with the prime minister of Canada, prominent sports teams, and virtually anyone he thought would help the cause of cancer research. He became something of a celebrity after that.

It's only going to save power if you're using an oled, since for most lcd screens the backlight is on whether you display black or white.

All my websites are jet black, and the black is only really black on my phone which has an oled screen.

Either way, it's just greenwashing. These companies are only pretending to give a crap so they can get brownie points with people who can't see what they're doing.

Huh. I've got some games on Ubisofts store.... Well, maybe not anymore.

You'll have to explain to me why I shouldn't just steal any future Ubisoft titles if they steal all mine first...

Decentralize.

With federation, there is no reason why you need to be crowding onto the most popular instance. If you find a much smaller instance and then just federate the communities that you want to it, then that's going to spread out the load of you as a user and everyone else as a user.

Besides being better for the individual instance operators who don't need to carry the load of the entire fediverse, decentralizing is better for the health of the fediverse. Imagine if two or three of the biggest instances went down today, how many people would be completely incapable of using Lemmy anymore?

This isn't big tech. Somebody is paying for this, and sometimes those people just decide that they don't want to pay for it anymore. Big instances do go down. So that being the case, decentralize. And that way even if a certain server is overloaded, you will be fine. And even if a certain server decides to go down, you will be fine. And you'll be doing what's right for the rest of the fediverse.
