Photographers are it an obvious term to search for on maps. “Photo studios” sure. But event/wedding photographers are a google search not a maps search.

If in GA USA, it’s not any yellow onions. You all have special onions that are sweet.

Looks up social control theory. It basically argues that we all are well behaved because we worry about the social consequences of our bad actions. You remove social control. The moral behaviours goes out the window. It’s pretty well supported framework for understanding human behaviour.

As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.

Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.

On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.

Wouldn’t move back.

I am in Europe. (I also have EU citizenship so that drove my decision).

I have friends who moved to NZ to try to escape the threat of Nazis here as well (it’s not like Europe is free from the evils shredding the US).

But yeah. Socialism is great. Salaries are lower and taxes higher and I would not trade in a million years.

Find a job that will relocate you. Million times easier than the alternatives.

I did the “alternatives”. I survived. Would not recommend.

Less juicy than some here.

I keep getting ads about my employer - a B2B / B2E business. Not sure how Facebook thinks I may be a purchaser at a business. I am not.

Thanks. That will not work. IO68 is not waterproof. It’s not a reason enough to not have a replicable battery. We have had ip68 phones with removable backs and user swappable batteries. We can have it again.

Re Weaselling from EU rules: do you have a source? I am very interested.

Same.

Seems to violate TOS of both app stores and likely a few laws in key markets.

But Elon never gave a hoot.

Just finished a book from the 1930s by a Czech author Karel Čapek called War with the Newts.

It’s sci-fi based on earth in 1930s but what I found the most interesting is

1. seeing an author from 1930s write and think on paper (casual racism and sexism, for example),

2. the echoes of the looming WWII

3. the retro futurism - I love seeing what people from the past imagined would happen with technology. They are often right, often cutely wrong.

There’s bound to be either an government funded animal control or private animal removal service in your area. You can search of the public service first. They can tell you if there willing to handle this. And if not can likely point you in the direction of the private service.

Or are you asking for options other than calling animal control?

You mean like when you visit a Google service (Gmail, Google, Maps …) on a non Chrome browser it bugs incessantly to switch?

It’s pervasive and it stinks, but it’s not Microsoft. It’s our current capitalist gestalt.

Please separate government and politicians and media. Plenty hard work happening in our agencies solving important issues. And of course then congress wakes up and just spews bullshit.

I agree the convenience would be great. But the reason it’s rare is that the business model does not work out for the newspapers.

This would lead to reduced revenue for the newspapers.

We already live in the world where news is behind paywall and disinformation is free. This would lead to collapse of more newspapers and further deterioration of the landscape.

We need a better model than Spotify to apply to news.

I think the point of the question is that the producers get greedy midway. And stop the progress so they can go indefinitely. Then when the show is cancelled the finish the story arcs in the final season.

There are also conscious efforts to weed out bots and other measures that try to remove potential cancer from spreading.

There was a post recently that outlined bot weeding efforts on a couple dozen instances that tanked user number by something like 1/5 - clearly visible on graphs.

Lemmy’s doing great. Even if plenty small communities are still not big enough here.

The problem for me is that Musk is an unreliable partner to any government. He is for sale to the highest bidder that strokes his ego.

But I guess that is a risk the feds will have to deal with in due time.

Honestly I waiting for the moment when one of Musk’s stunts gets Space X banned from government contracts until the boot the Muppet.

Edit: grammar
