I suspect those are OPs urls, and showing them could allow someone to identify the company or site they work for.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

If that's true, then the issue isn't that processed foods are bad on their own, but a side effect of the processing is that they are easier to overeat on. That's a very different issue that what type of food is being eaten. It's possible to overeat on grilled chicken and vegetables, it's just that it's harder to do.

Classic Kohl's strategy, not sure if they did it first, but its the first place I saw it used in early 2000s.

From kbin, you can just boost it right from the web site.

Claiming there's savings just isn't true in reality. If they came out and said it's to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I'd be all in, and I'm still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

This is by design. They've got us arguing about the api price, when their goal was to kill off third party apps and get all users on their app so they can data mine us. And the ridiculous api price is a secondary bonus for them, since AI and LLM companies will gladly pay it to sick up the content on the platform.

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn't terribly surprising.

I'm no meta apologist, they've done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn't really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.

Couldn't agree more. The processing is a distraction. Good food can be heavily processed and bad food can lightly processed. The issue is that the processing of food makes some foods easier for overconsumption. That's not an issue than can be legislated at the root cause and anything else will have unintended side effects.

Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.

Could still get hacked, but the point stands that is an extra level of verification.

It's always been cool, but a lot of people gave it up due to lack of good quality tools and content sites actively working against it. Glad to see the community is still alive and trying to get back to it.

I'm a big user user of weather.gov, but curious what you mean by blaming weather service for this not being convenient?

Didn't even know this was a thing, and since I live by multiple monitors, this makes me glad I've held off.

This is a tricky problem to solve for sure. I've been battling it for a while myself.

What about riced cauliflower? The issue is the type of processing, but I'd submit that is a distractio to the bigger issue. The problem is that the processing often results in foods that are easier and tastier to eat, resulting in over consumption.

Sshfs to Nas? Does that mean you have a persistent ssh session open from your host and are using it as a file system to a self hosted Nas at your home? Or did I misunderstand that?

I hadn't heard that stag from Twitter, but I really do hope that is how it is on reddit and that the content generating users have begin making the switch. Sadly, I think some of reddit recent rise in popularity attracted some folks there only for views so they'll probably stay. Hopefully their content isn't much to miss.

Power Toys Run (from the paper toys suite) is a fantastic launcher that's better than the start menu.

The difference is here you can manage your own feed and pick and choose. Many folks don't want metas apps on their device but wouldn't mind some of the content. Folks that don't want it don't have to sub but those that do can benefit second hand.

Honest question, why? If you're already on kbin that is your account. What is the reason to have another separate account on mastodon?

Seems like a strange way to enforce it, at the user level vs the api client level, unless they're trying to guard against screen scraper types.

Tinder I get, but Instagram for hookups? Cmon now.
