Yeah, I certainly won’t use any product associated with that muskrat.

That’s what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don’t get angry/irritated because that’s what they want, just point and laugh at them.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980’s figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She’s on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

Well cool, I hope it does. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but the Nintendo Switch interested me for the occasional mario kart session. But all the Joycon drama scared me off from buying one. I’ll hold out for a few more years before splurging - I’m in no rush, I rarely game or watch television anyway lol

Nah it’s more simple than that - the truth is boring. Salacious content is more exciting.

At the end of the day, capitalism wins, and whatever generates more views gets more advertising revenue.

I collected hundreds and glued them to my ceiling to make a disco mirror. It was epic lol

Just last month I came across a cd I burned with Mandrake Linux that I had downloaded - 26 years ago!

I should try and install that on a virtual PC and see how it feels/looks hahaha

Name one. Excluding mixed economies and state run capitalist countries.

History absolutely has examples of recessions occurring in non-capitalist countries. Here are a few instances:

• Soviet Union (1980s): The Soviet economy experienced a period of stagnation and recession during the 1980s. A combination of factors including inefficiencies in central planning, declining oil prices, and a lack of technological innovation led to economic troubles. This culminated in the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.

• Cuba (1990s): After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of its economic support, Cuba entered a period known as the “Special Period in Time of Peace.” This was characterized by a severe economic downturn, shortages of basic goods, and a drop in GDP. Cuba’s economy is based on socialist principles.

• North Korea (1990s): Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and a reduction in aid from communist allies, North Korea faced a period of economic decline in the 1990s. This was marked by food shortages, famine, and a decline in industrial production.

• Venezuela (21st century): While Venezuela has been characterized by a mixed economy with elements of socialism, it’s worth mentioning due to its economic troubles. The country experienced a deep recession starting in the mid-2010s, driven by falling oil prices, mismanagement, and political instability.

• Cambodia (late 1970s): After the Khmer Rouge regime took control, Cambodia’s economy suffered a massive collapse due to forced collectivization, execution of professionals, and isolationist policies. The country went through a period of severe economic depression.

• Maoist China (“Great Leap Forward”, late 1950’s): While China under Mao Zedong’s leadership implemented communist policies, it’s important to note that there were periods of economic turmoil. The Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) aimed to rapidly transform China’s economy through collectivization and communal farming, but it resulted in widespread famine and economic setbacks.

Yeah no doubt, a RAID would be more effective. But still a 256TB SSD is absolutely insane when you think about it, compared to where technology was 10 or 20 years ago.

Crazy to think it was only about fifteen years ago the small Data-storage server reseller I worked for was selling their own in-house server racks - a whole 52U rack filled with Supermicro drive bays to store a petabyte of data was $300k and that was a steal of a deal at the time.

Sure, that system was redundant and this is a single pbSSD, but still crazy to see how fast things are evolving

Oh no doubt that was also a big factor, but even if they were well built high quality cars, it would still be a non-starter as long as Elno has anything to do with the company.

My partner needed to buy a new vehicle. A Tesla Model was easily in budget. But they opted not to buy one because they want zero affiliation with Musk or any connotations that they may endorse his behavior by owning one of his products.

How are you seeing gifs in kbin? All I’m seeing is a url link to the gif and have to click the media icon button next to the URL For it to load… is there a setting I need to enable to load pictures/gifs automatically?

Funny, during the boycott of Reddit when squabbles was growing, I signed up and created two new communities - one for earbuds and one for vaporents (dry herbal vaporizing).

My earbuds community was quicky approved, but the vaporents group took almost a week before it was approved. It’s almost like the site’s owner (since back then he had no mods or admin team) was hesitant when it came to something possibly clandestine in nature. I guess drugs aren’t cool, but hate speech is?

Crazy how people are still finding new things to cram doom into. I remember when that was a popular thing to do twenty years ago haha

But I’ll admit, stuffing it into a keycap is pretty damn impressive, albeit useless haha

Even a simple kbin link would work.

For example since this community is “fediverse” on the lemmy.world instance my link would be

https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/
