lol@ this. My bet what is actually happening: cost cutting or future nitro feature.

I didn't completely leave behind reddit. I still view, but I only comment/post on lemmy.

I seriously doubt this is a good faith effort by meta to be a part of the fediverse. Give this article a read. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

So is it safe to assume this isn't going to be a free and fair vote?

Americans are desperate for change, but half of them want to go backward and half want to go forward. Add to that it basically takes a supermajority to pass legislation that makes real changes and well... you're pretty much left with things you can do via the executive branch.

So yes, a big part of the problem is that neither party really has the ability to appeal to the other "side" at all. We need sweeping social change before we get sweeping political change.

Lol, good luck at trying to get meta to listen to what users really want.

We don't know yet. If it's sticky then I would wholeheartedly agree. But if activity drops to pre protest levels in a month then eh...

You know what would be hilarious? Eventually blue sky buys the leftovers of twitter and renames itself twitter. Although by that time it may not be a prudent move. So maybe not.

it will be a banking experience where musk will get all of your banking data. I bet that's why he's so into it and the "do everything" super app approach.

The answer imo to this is to add people as approved posters and keep the subreddit going.

Yeah, in a way its kind of good to have this 2 stage migration, that gives server operators an opportunity to iron out some kinks.

Thanks, but I was unaware. I was just copying what I've seen elsewhere.

I don't think this will happen. What they want is for PCs to be like phones, a closed system where you are pretty much locked into installing anything you want on your PC(and thus anything you buy as well) from their exclusive app store. The cloud thing just extra expense for no real benefit to them. However if there's an opportunity to push one drive you can be sure they will. And MS has been trying to move in this direction since windows 8.

Maybe if it is 100%. I have tried 91% and it doesn't work as well. It needs to be able to clean rosin flux.

agreed, paywall. Not subscribing to a dozen different news websites, and bloomberg wouldn't make the cut anyway.

We don't really have electronics stores here anymore. The highest I've seen locally is 91%, and while it does kind of clean it off, denatured alcohol has always worked a lot better for me so it's disappointing to see that it's gone. I'll probably just order some online. But still, I'd be interested in knowing why.

It's stux!!!

It is. A magazine is essentially a subreddit. I too found kbin a bit confusing at first but it's not so bad once you get used to it. One thing I really don't like about kbin is all of your up/downvotes, boosts, magazines you're subscribed to, etc. are exposed for everyone to see.

Scuse my ignorance, but why put 'won' in quotes? Did he not actually win?

I will probably use both reddit and lemmy. But as long as I can't use a third party app for reddit, I will use it a lot less. And the better lemmy gets, the more I will use it vs reddit.

Wish we had a trader joe's... guess I'll have to settle for aldi xD

cute doggo!

I think the point that it's not 100% is fair. It's just hardware store denatured alcohol and I assumed it was 100% since every other alcohol bottle either says proof or %, which was a mistake on my part regardless of whether it is actually 100% or not. It has always worked better for me than 91% isopropyl though and was the only other thing available.

yeah after doing more research it seems 99% isopropyl is better for what I want to use it for anyway, and that's what I ordered. So not really looking for this anymore, and yeah someone else pointed out what you did and I admit it was a bad assumption that it was 100% alcohol.

I actually ordered a bottle of 99% isopropyl to give that a try

Someone that youtube blocks now is a customer for youtubes now/eventual competitor. You might say they're low quality since they won't pay or view ads, but they still share and maybe upload content.

that's fair enough. It's my bad for assuming it was 100%, I just assumed that if it wasn't 100% it would have said so on the bottle. it's just denatured alcohol as you would have(in the past) bought from the hardware store.

I don't... sounds like something I should have had many years ago though.

Oh yeah there are definitely a lot of things to like about aldi. But I'd still really like to have a TJ... probably more than an aldi. Especially since the discount at aldi doesn't seem to be that much over walmart. Part of that is b/c I have food allergies that cut out a lot of stuff, and TJ has some good deals on such specialty foods.
