I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!

I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.

Could you share the method you used to divide a single monitor from the OS perspective?

If you got the script or wiki page somewhere…

I’m curious

It’s an anime, and nearly cheating but for me it was Mushoku Tensei Season 1

There was an intro song, but while it was playing there would be B Rolls of whatever part of the setting was pertinent for the episode.

It was awesome, but then they did a normal intro for Season 2, which struck me as a bad decision.

One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…

I think you are right about the lack of diversity.

My own take on it is that lemmy is currently populated by early adopters. There might be a relation between beign open to try new things and being left-leaning, I don’t know.

But I do think that over time, if Lemmy survives it’s early day phase, more people joining should bring more doverse point of views.

I see that being said quite often.

Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?

In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I’d like to be proven wrong.

I believe that the existence of ad blockers do change the situation quite a lot.

I also pay for youtube premium. Before doing so I was using an adblocker and didn’t see a single ad before subscribing.

The reason I did so was that multiple creators I was following mentioning that a view from a premium subscriber was worth more to them financially than from a regular one.

It’s the easiest way for me to support multiple creators at once.

The moment my experience decreases, Youtube looses my support and I go Patreon instead. As ublock exists I don’t have to live through ads at all.

Being rich doesn’t mean your life doesn’t suck, just that you don’t have money problems.

Small anecdote: I bought a new Cheverolet Bolt about two years ago.

A couple of months after I bought it there was a recall on the batteries, they had to replace all of them in the car.

They were out of stock for quite a while (I assume because of supply chain issues)

They finally replaced them a couple of months ago.

I choose to see that as a 2 years extension on my bettery life,lucky me!

Do the main quest for a while, it is not missable I think.

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

That’s too broad a claim for me to agree.

In this specific event, adjusting for inflation on older movies might show that there was precedent where a movie directed by a single woman was more successful than this one.

If that happen, that achievement should also be celebrated. If that didn’t happen, this movie should be even more celebrated.

Asking for more data isn’t the same thing as attacking a claim.

Maybe I’m just naive, but I like to assume good intentions.

If someone actually say something sexist, calling them out is important. But I don’t think assuming sexism first is a good thing either.

I’m not the person you answered to, but as english ain’t my first language I figured I’d ask:

I get that this person was trying to say “piqued” as in “got my interest”

But wouldn’t “peaked” as in “my interest couldn’t possibly get higher as it has peaked from that new information” also be valid?

(I get it’s a saying, but as I’m not familiar with that saying in english it didn’t bother me, which is why I’m curious)

I worked in groceries story when I was younger.

But funily enough, it’s probably one of the rare times I’d have answered “yes”!

We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.

My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

NULL being “no money” by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$… well, it’s probably free!

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking “because I can”, not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn’t be surprising that being the case.
