Even then sometimes manufacturers will still use Amazon for fulfillment and shipping. I agree though, the shopping experience is pretty awful and I try to avoid it

Yea that seems pretty high. I have a solo pixelfed server that runs around $5 / month. It doesn’t get a lot of use though

PopOS is the only thing I have a few minutes away with

Yeah it’s like if you had a calculator and 10% of the time it gave you the wrong answer. Would that be a good tool for learning? We should be careful when using these tools and understand their limitations. Gen AI may give you an answer that happens to be correct some of the time (maybe even most of the time!) but they do not have the ability to actually reason. This is why they give back answers that we understand intuitively are incorrect (like putting glue on pizza), but sometimes the mistakes can be less intuitive or subtle which is worse in my opinion.

And it’s also a way for topic focused servers to filter out signups as well. There are general purpose instances with open sign ups that don’t do that.

Yeah if the settings panel had feature parity with control panel but with a better user experience nobody would mind but it’s less features AND a worse experience.

I remember trying to change some mouse settings on windows 10 but they removed the ability to get to the old mouse options from the desktop. I drilled down through the settings app and eventually buried deep I found where it would let me open up that same old mouse settings modal to get to what I wanted to change. More clicks, more searching, and less features = poor user experience

Yup, I like Lemmy but there are still those subreddits that Lemmy can’t fully replace for certain sports teams I follow.

I’m definitely worried about what shenanigans they’re going to pull in November. They tried to steal the election in 2020 and they’re going to try again…and it seems like they learned a few lessons from the first time

You can absolutely see your poop in the water and the water would turn red or a darker color if there was blood which is probably more obvious lol

I’m pretty sure you can install Firefox on those too can’t you?

Babies do start growing after they are born too so there’s also that. My baby got shots when we was >20 pounds and was average weight…

It’s too late. If the Dems wanted to switch candidates they should have started 2 years ago. There’s not enough time to get aligned on a new candidate and ramp up a presidential candidate capable of the turnout necessary to beat Trump. And there’s too much at stake.

Biden dropping out would be a huge gift for Trump at this point.

I can’t use the Internet on Mobile without an adblocker. The user experience is totally unbearable

He’s made a significant number of judicial appointments which will affect the judicial system for decades: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judicial-nominations-200-senate-confirmation-biden/

Despite having his student loan debt cancellation overturned he’s still managed to relieve $170 billion dollars of student loan debt: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/student-loan-forgiveness-7-7-billion-heres-who-qualifies-biden/

He was able to pass one of the largest bi partisan infrastructure bills in decades (which Trump promised to do for years and never delivered): https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/10/us/politics/infrastructure-bill-passes.html

This is just a few of his major achievements I can think of off the top of my head. There are way more accomplishments that he directly and people he has appointed have delivered than I can possibly list.

And anyone who thinks Trump would be better for the war in Gaza than Biden is delusional

I’m still waiting for offline bicycle, transit and WALKING directions. Why can’t it tell me which way to walk without internet but it can tell me how to drive a car??

Yeah take away Saidin and Rand is still a master swordsman. He was shielded and killed was able to kill 2 warders, one of them unarmed and the other with the first one’s weapon.

I think GRRM did admit he was taking the piss a bit with that one to be fair to him

He also wrote a short story in which 1 armed Jaimie bested Rand al Thor. You can’t take him seriously

Hexbear is mostly just trolls in my experience. They like to brigade any discussion involving Russia, China, Ukraine, etc.

Lemmy.ml is full of tankies that will also go out of their way to defend Russia and China but they aren’t just blatant trolls which is the difference.

Having controversial opinions isn’t the problem, trolling and brigading are

I honestly think a lot of these terms of service agreements are legally unenforceable, but they don’t get contested in court very often.

Like if they say “you consented to the arbitration agreement” I could just argue I never physically signed anything and it was actually my 5 year old who agreed so he could watch TV.
