I wonder how hard it would be to wait 4-6 months and then attempt to get rehired at Riot again. It seems unlikely that they will be on a total hiring freeze for over 6 months.

Why does this website ask you to sign up for email spam every 10 seconds? Maybe that is part of the problem.

Sounds pretty awesome albeit vastly more complicated than what I had imagined. The idea of customers collective bargaining to force competition is neat.

Sounds like a multi-million dollar business opportunity for a relatively cheap monthly service that automatically cancels services you don't use.

It is better as consumers to let them fight it out. Competition is typically in the consumers favor so it should be encouraged. I don't need to be in favor of Apple, Epic Games or Spotify to want them all to fight it out and reduce the

How do you verify that a better diagnosis was made? With human doctors? But human doctors are worse at diagnosing.

I hope YouTube finds a way to just fully stop working. I'd really like to see the ad-driven internet go away. I'd rather see Nebula or any other no-ad platform do better and get more features.

But how can they be so sure the paint won't fade completely after 1000 years? It could be gone after 10 years. Perhaps you could check on it as long as you don't move it even a millimeter.

How does the sensor work for capturing light for that long? Wouldn't it produce a solid white image after a single day? Is there any difference between taking a 1000 year exposure and taking a photo every day for 1000 years and laying

By monthly subscription I mean any subscription. An annual subscription is still a subscription. I want to pay for a perpetual license and never pay again. Unfortunately that would be difficult for an ongoing live service such as email.

I'd rather pay hundreds of dollars for software upfront than a monthly subscription. But I'm still considering paying for the cheapest Proton option.

Interacting with people face to face isn't so bad. On average I find it a lot more meaningful than anything that occurs online.

We could also abandon the internet as a place to interact with people and go back to meat space. The internet can be a place exclusively for doing work such as filing taxes and paying bills, etc..

Indeed I do. Any email I didn't explicitly ask for that isn't a unique personal email I mark as spam. Although I also stopped using Gmail in favor of Proton.

I was busy doing just that and grew a community to 10,000 subscribers. Things were going great and then the administrators abused their powers and took over the community and banned me. They don't follow their own rules so I don't

All instances combined of Lemmy is already small. If 99% of the traffic of the all instances combined come from 2-3 instances and all of it is run by terrible people then I don't really see how going somewhere that has a handful of act

So far Mastodon has been reasonable, but I've personally seen another federated Reddit clone Lemmy fell down this Rabbit hole. The two "biggest" instances admins are all power hungry and like to bully users to exert their aut

But from an Android phones perspective it is the iPhone users that have low quality images and compatibility. Whenever someone sends me an image or video from an iPhone it seems like their phone must be terrible. These systems could work to

So if I use Firefox and almost never encounter a website that uses a Google login then they aren't tracking me most of the time? It seems like they must have more tricks up their sleeve than that.

That feels sociopathic in the context of socializing. As if you need to have something to gain in order to bother spending time with people.

Isn't the point of the booster to use up the entirety of its fuel to propel the main rocket? Is it normal for there to be enough fuel left in it to cause such an explosion?

Good writing is highly subjective. The way his books focus more on the interesting concepts and not the characters is precisely why I enjoy them so much. There are enough books in the world about people and why they do what they do for book

Curious. I canceled prime years ago and everything is still delivered within 1-2 days. I was starting to wonder if they forgot how to make deliveries take longer.

It's better for the consumer when businesses aren't near monopolies. Why should anyone be concerned with the well-being of Apple or Google? They have had a lot of time running their anti-competitive companies. I think they will be
