I don’t pay for my account on my home instance. I don’t want to interact with the world and I think most people are tired of living under threat of being one misstep away from a Twitter Mob. Your complaints are features. People are fleeing

As someone whose primary social media is in the Fediverse, the discussion in this thread is ... confusing? It's so disconnected from my experienced reality of the Fediverse I don't even know where to begin . Functionally, my expe

I used to be part of a volunteer organization that is a loose confederation of local chapters that are all kept in line with a bit of copyright law by the original chapter. The central council that meets nationally on a monthly basis is org

We are in a similar place with Slack. We moved from HipChat to Slack and that was painful enough. Then the company noticed we get Teams for "free" and they tried to push us over to it. But folks have so much automation (because &q

They're in California/NYC and by the time you finish paying for housing and taxes you get <100k. Atlanta can get you to 200k with a (relatively) reasonable CoL but the current housing situation there is rapidly degrading, so ge

It really does! Startup compensation is heavily built around employees having a stake in the company for this reason. A sense of ownership really does increase your capacity. Unfortunately, with corporations being so blatantly "mask of

It sounds like you're misinterpreting the article or you did not read it. > When did we become so not only complacent but also discouraging of any genuine effort? It is as if everyone is so aloof that if you show any effort or appre

It definitely feels like market making is something all parties involved in a real estate transaction would like. The article lays out the problems of applying the concept to real estate pretty clearly. Personally, I think the physical cost

Aren’t the book reviews just farmed from Goodreads and splatted onto the book’s store page? Goodreads is kinda trash with all the “ARC provided by SomeWebsite.com” reviews. I’ve noticed that a ton of ARC reviews tend to be by people who don

As an estranged child I was not ready to read that. Sent it to my other sibling (also recently estranged from the family) and we're both just...in shock.

So is 1 basically rubber ducky debugging but for social situations? Because I do this pretty often by myself. I feel it does require a certain level of self-honesty and I've often used good friends (the ones who I know will call me on

A vast portion of these comment threads are full of people blatantly ignoring two things: 1) The US and vast swaths of the world have metered internet connections. The benefits of P2P for your bottom line will be short lived as customers ab

Because not everyone feels the need to rate their self-worth by how much wealth they’ve hoarded. I’m already set for retirement and I have my house nearly paid off. I’m comfortable and I don’t make $250,000 a year. I barely work more than

They’re a lifesaver for me with unmedicated adult ADHD. I’ve been substantially more on-time to events, appointments, etc. since I put an air tag on my keys and wallet. Several of my friends have commented on it. Tile trackers were horribl

Yeah but when I interviewed on site in Seattle for the S3 DevOps team, they kept bringing up how they all use cheap doors on concrete blocks for their desks to remind themselves of that “frugality” and that was just the first red flag of ho

Honestly, at $167 a year the content on Netflix is very…blah. Yet it’s also very diverse with more niches and sub-genres to explore. Also it’s foreign content is amazing and has introduced me to things like wuxia, xianxia, the Scandinavian

Also there’s a massive blob of Mandarin shows, especially in the Wuxia and Xianxia genres that appeals to both people with a Chinese background and some niche fandoms of those genres. Almost all of my home screen in Netflix is foreign langu

Yeah it’s pretty inconsistent. I can request money through USAA but my barber’s bank doesn’t let him request, so he does the whole “Send $1” dance.

It’s crazy how much Zelle has taken off in my area. Home contractors. My barber. My family. Also the etiquette that’s emerged around using Zelle is funny too. If I’m paying someone new, they’ll normally have me send $1 as a test to make sur

All I remembered of Atlas Shrugged when I read it in high school was the sex, tbh. Had someone said subscribing to Libertarianism would get me screwed the way Rearden screwed Dagny I’d have signed up then and there.

I have to agree. The desperation to “blame China” seems to be driven by people with fantasies about going to war with China. Not even economic war with China beyond current tensions is possible without completely wrecking the economy in way
