Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can't be good?

Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it'seven available commercially... So I'm not too sure about the direction we're going.

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.

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.


It's a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that's what this is.

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.

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.

~~While I agree that it wasn't the time nor the place, that video had nothing to do with the sexual harrassment/assault allegations.~~

~~This was in response to GN video and subsequent Linus response on their forum.~~

~~The other stuff came after.~~

~~Still weird, but not on the same scale in my opinion~~.

Edit: I just saw timestamps lower in another comment chain showing that the apology video actually came after the twitter post.

While it was most likely filmed and edited before said post, launching as is is pretty bad indeed.
