I absolutely love the enthusiasm for required regulations in this thread but everyone is missing one critical aspect... illegal workers are probably a huge part of those impacted by this. Many of these "companies" who cut counters work through subcontractors and I bet the majority of these are just a guy with an LLC. I would love to see more numbers on the type of worker/businesses being hit with this illness.

So my kid was playing and while attempting to hijack a ship it took off into space. Once he killed the crew he was unable to fly the ship due to having too low of a level. Being overburdened he dumped all of his gear and then fast travelled back to his destination. About an hour later he returned to that planet and found the ship floating in space and when he boarded everything was floating like the power was off. Pretty cool for sure.

I think it's more about how those types of buyers view the manufacturers reliability long term. The man is unhinged and has proven with Twitter that if given the chance he will willingly fuck over users. Imagine giving a bully the ability to limit your driving range or disabling your vehicle on a whim because he decides he doesn't like you or what your local govt says.

Not saying he would do it but he has proven repeatedly to be unstable enough to believe he could escape punishment for doing it.

I have lived in the desert my whole life. So I guess I'm an expert now. I can tell you that it's hot as fuck and it can still kill me. No amount of planned "exposure" is going to prevent dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Yep. Went to Disneyland a year ago and the trip there was very affordable. The trip home was 3-4x higher since it was closing time.

Came to say the same. Why are you driving users to their platform at all?

I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can't turn over something you don't have.

I think Strange New Worlds is the best ST in a long long time. I really hope the strike doesn't derail what I see as a true return to the ST format. Discovery is more like a mini series run since it tends to focus on a singular topic for an entire season.

I think that's actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it's rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.

The issue is largely that these idiots are a mob and the casual US citizen keeps saying "It's all talk, nothing bad is going to happen, etc." When in reality this is exactly how fascism and nationalism began it's rise to power in Germany, Italy, etc. In the past the Constitution and legal system shutdown these agendas in the US. However, in the last 20-30 years the Republicans have done a lot to weaken and undermine the legal system and set in motion incremental phases that have slowly made this more acceptable to the average person.

In short money in politics through lobbying has allowed a lot of greasing of the wheels to undermine our govt and the average person doesn't want to be jobless/homeless so they say "not my problem" until it is too late.

I am on a Pixel 7 Pro running the latest version of Voyager and was curious if it is possible for the Devs to add an attach image option to the response text editor? I see the option to add a link but not one to just attach a photo.

Need help identifying this unmarked roughly 6" CI? Any idea of age and manufacturer?

I visit it for a couple of subs that are not active on here. For the most part it feels the same. I never really cared for the karma system, gold, etc. So switching to Lemmy for me was more about just trying to find a place not being bombarded by ads, bots, and corporate policies.

I think reddit will survive the Exodus of users simply because Twitter is so badly managed that reddit may actually supplant it for a while. However, the drive to monetize all aspects of our lives is actually getting some push back from users so Lemmy may continue to grow in the next few years.

The biggest issues facing Lemmy isn't content though. It's ease of adoption.

Elite: Dangerous.

Hell of a good space trucker sim. If you like spending 2 hours managing your ship before making a 6 system jump only to dock and do it all over again.

Made the switch from reddit and I feel this was the most appropriate place to upload my first image to Lemmy.

Honestly I don't mind the upvote and downvote system but i don't want reddit replicated.
