Synergy can be pretty good. I think it syncs clipboards and stuff like that, doesn’t it?

I can’t speak for 404 Media, but the rest of them build products that people enjoy using. They fill a niche that the users appreciate and do a good job at it.

It’s hard to fault people for liking things.

Gotta keep those waves away from their delicate grey matter.

That or their phone has shitty palm detection and will unwittingly treat their face as a touch if they hold it too close.

Is the car something you use for work, or is it a benefit?

I’m from Canada. Employers mostly give company vehicles for jobs that require it.

Chinese companies stealing American technologies could lead to the former being able to produce something for cheap, which, … will allow an everyday person to have a better bargain.

While the company that originally created the product will collapse, putting people out of work and weakening the American economy.

That’s basically what the globalization movement from the 1980s and 90s was. Jobs may move overseas, but think of the cheap shit you can buy!The hollowing out of Western economies has led to the political moment we’re in now.

I came over in the API exodus. Lemmy lacks niche content, so I went back to Reddit. I stick around here because I’m so used to Sync.

Poverty and pressure to commit pension fraud were shown to be excellent indicators of reaching ages 100+ in a way that is the opposite of rational expectations’.

I love shitting on Python, but I feel like all those problems are present in libraries for other languages as well. There’s a tonne of that crap for JS/TS.

Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can’t wrap my head around.

if only there was a law or something

I tried Kagi and found the results to be significantly less helpful than Google. Searches for local businesses, open source libraries, and Canadian history missed useful sites that Google provided.

I guess I’m an outlier, because other people seem to have a good time with it.

It looks like a pretty minor change, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

But fentanyl activists say Trump is at least drawing attention to the issue, whereas the Biden administration, they say, is not.

“We don’t feel seen, we don’t feel heard,” said Allen. “I’m surprised that somebody hasn’t realized or figured out that this is a huge population of people, that if we believe that you were going to respond to this and do something about it, you could very easily earn our favor.”

Our demographics don’t support uncertainty. Most of us are here because we are certain distributed is better than centralized, community run is better than corporate run, FOSS is better than proprietary, etc. The sign-up process discourages casual users, so most users have made up their minds to be here.

For better or worse, we’re highly opinionated, and we’ve decided some things are bad and others are good. Very few topics are open to discussion because we’ve already decided.

And if we haven’t decided on something, it’s usually because we’ve decided it doesn’t matter, so we’ll ignore it.

It isn’t a sustainable community, but I fit in, so I’m still here.

Yeah, bull sessions were (and still are) part of my experience. I’m a similar age, and had a similar university experience.

Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to watch Three’s Company.

If that isn’t credible enough for you, a massive uniboob containing a tiny gnome sorcerer able to slay at range. Basically a lil green skinned tiddy tank.
