Great, as always - thank you for all you do!

I take it you’ve never been to Amsterdam? Lots of screaming and bell ringing to get the hell out of the locals way 😂

The great thing about Lemmy is the users are in full control to make it whatever we want it to be. We aren’t dependent on some profit seeking corporate board of douche bags to make arbitrary decisions in the name of the almighty dollar (or whatever your currency)

This is a great post - I agree with your take.

All of these providers need to cease operating in the UK - it makes no sense to compromise security for the rest of the world just because one country wants to make it easier to spy on citizens.

This is the kind of deep shit I come here for.

How about a partner and a local - Belts and Suspenders, and you only get one two-week shot at this.

That was my first thought - Is he still alive? He must be 110 by now.

Oh, I don’t think they are leftist at all. My point was that Russia dominated the Soviet Union (do you agree with that?) and the fall of communism has resulted in what we see now, and it is not pretty, with business, money and politics very much intertwined.

Agree totally. Communism is one of those things that cannot work in the real world. Someone above said it well - you go so far left that you end devolving into fascism and that is apparent with what is going on in Russia right now. Money begets power begets more money and on and on…

“Tankies” is slang for communists who align with the philosophy of authoritarian rule, like the Soviet Union who used violence to keep countries under their control in check.

Sealioning is something I saw a lot on Reddit, but not so much here - it is when someone responds continuously asking questions, trying to seem like they are engaged, but in reality they are trolling you. Like when you say something like “The sky is so blue today” and the come back with “That is interesting, do you have a link to some information that I can learn more about that?”

Penneys also stopped accepting coupons and it turned out that most of the older ladies who made up the lion’s share of the clientele loved coupons (who would have thought?). They also hired a retail exec from Apple (Ron Johnson) and he embarked on disasterous changes to stores and other things that regular customers hated. This is a great article that is titled “The J.C. penney Disaster Timeline” from 2012: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-jcpenney-disaster-timeline-how-ex-apple-guru-ron-johnson-is-destroying-the-company-2012-6

Looks like a California Poppy. Great picture!

Or they just ran out of S’s in the typeset for that page

Agreed, probably a little more efficient to use the 2 mini fridges.

From the Google: The electricity consumption of average mini or compact refrigerators is about 233 kWh to 310 kWh. Meanwhile, refrigerators (18-20 cubic feet) often use between 404 and 613 kWh.

I’m sorry, but any mod that gets a message threatening them like that and stays on has zero self respect. It’s a volunteer job for god’s sake!

I switched from Evernote to Joplin several years ago and haven’t looked back. I had over 8,000 notes in Evernote and now have over 11,000 notes in Joplin. I’m using free Dropbox storage for syncing (3GB out of 6GB free) and run Windows, iPad and Android clients. I haven’t missed Evernote at any point.

I’m eagerly awaiting Sync but wefwef is pretty damned good in my opinion.
