YouTube gives me more value for free than a lot of services I actually pay for
That's the really annoying part.
I've been considering swapping to other services for a long time, but to follow the creators I want to follow I'd have to subscribe to Nebula and Floatplane and I'd still miss out on quite a few creators.
Yeah, they don't know how to make door rebates. They don't even have that in their actual house doors leading to the road. And we over here even have them on toilet doors.
Toilets shouldn't be high humidity environments (that's what ventilation is there for) and gap-less doors don't need to rub at all.
That's what this European high tech that seems to be virtually unknown in the US is for: door rebates.
Really? That's what I'd expect even in a run-down public toilet in a train station over here in Austria.
The issue here is that if you stay for someone else, someone else will stay for you.
My family agreed that if something were to happen in our country (be it a war or something political like in the US right now), anyone who can will make it out as fast as possible and prepares the path for the others. Because it's much easier toget a visum if you already have family there and a place to live.
And yes, you are right, nobody wants Americans in their country, but that's just why it would be helpful to have someone prepare the way.
Don't you know, selling phones is an official presidential act, thus he has immunity.
Does this apply to smaller platforms like lemmy?
This.
There are often actual limits to what can be done, and there are practical limits. Especially in the early days of a technology it's really hard to understand which limits are actual limits, practical limits or only short-term limits.
For example, in the 1800s, people thought that going faster than 30km/h would pose permanent health risks and wouldn't be practical at all. We now know that 30km/h isn't fast at all, but we do know that 1300km/h is pretty much the hard speed limit for land travel and that 200-300km/h is the practical limit for land travel (above that it becomes so power-inefficient and so dangerous that there's hardly a point).
So when looking at the technology in an early state, it's really hard to know what kind of limit you have hit.
I prefer Ook! Ook! over Ooga.
Working from home has been the default for the last few millenia. Who would have thought that it could make people happier?
This.
There are very many shades of "I can't leave".
Depending on how urgently you want to leave, some of these reasons are "can't leave" or turn into "I'll leave anyway".
That's why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.
Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren't setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It's horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.
And the battery life is ridiculous.
