Address some of the issues. Like not having multiple similar posts, on different instances with similar named communities.

Also to reach critical mass, we need to keep posting. Addition of new apps such as Boost will also increase popularity

Nobody is coming to save you. Nobody. If you want help, ask. If you don't want to ask, learn to save yourself.

Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Can they do the same for Google recommending Chrome?

Other than gamers, there's a huge share of enterprise Windows users. And they're not likely to shift OS, because of IT admin issues. Others in this thread have commented on how Apple is struggling to get devs to build native games compared to Windows.

Sure the number of home PC users might decline, one can always hope.

If they can't hold on to these, they should just return them.

Even if they could hold on, they should return them, but clearly aren't willing to.

Kind of missing the point. The current embargo means Russia sells its oil for a lot cheaper to India, which then refines and resells it to the west. This allows for enough oil supply to not push prices too high for everyone and Russia is the only one losing. Sure India doesn't enforce sanctions, but they aren't exactly cozying up like the Chinese.

Currently the real estate market seems to be on very shaky grounds as developers have debts that they're not being able to pay off. So bonds whose coupons are due are not being paid.

Chinese citizens generally pay up front a certain amount (or fully) long before they move into their apartments. This money is generally used to complete construction. But developers seem to have used this to buy other properties for construction, over leveraging themselves. And now that construction is wayyy behind schedule and the people still can't move in, they're refusing to pay their mortgages causing banks to pull back lending and become more strict with debt restructuring for developers.

Tldr: Way too many homes built for people who don't want them. Lots of loans might be unpaid. Might affect other sectors.

Anyone else feel two massive countries (Russia and China) are lurching from serious crisis to crisis (war, economic slowdown) and just feels like the "I'm in Danger" meme?

Luxury handbags that cost $60k. Not just a handbag, but to diversify your investment and launder money.

OnePlus somehow never completely avoided issues. I remember on the 5 there was a display issue too.

China is doing a Speedrun in destroying their reputation. Began with COVID, then market confidence, now this (of course this isn't the first instance).
