Sure, but a lot of decisions regarding policing happen at a local and state level. There needs to be electoral consequences at these positions for real reform to happen.

Mod abuse happens because of the power given to mods and the expectations of the communities they are in. Lemmy did nothing to update how mods work.

Cool, but the Barcelona local government isn't increasing prices; they are reducing supply.

That's right, a reduction in supply increases prices.

They don't care. They're trying to indicate how unwelcome Sarah McBride, the first trans woman elected to Congress, is.

What percentage of Gen Z voted for Trump, though? Everyone seems focused on the election numbers as of they represent all voters when they don't.

I wonder if Somaliland will ever get recognized.

Yes. The conditions of maintaining a veto doesn't relate to being a member in good standing.

There is also the loss of mental acuity with age. I've seen a lot of people mentally regress as they hit their 60's.

You also have people who may not be aware of how some systems work because they've never had to deal with them while the rest of the world has. I've seen people this year struggle using my car because they didn't know you have to press the brake when you push the start button, as their cars still use keys.

It is more that both browsers are by their respective companies to create the Internet they want.

IE intentionally gimped higher level browser usage as a way to defend the Windows monopoly. Web apps in IE would never be developed to the quality they could compete against natively run programs in Windows.

Chromium works to keep the Internet open and platform agnostic, but keeps tracking and cookies because Google makes money on the Internet by serving ads online.

Given that supply is being removed, it is likely that demand will adjust to the new hotel supply.

Cruises are usually worse for a city than hotels economically.

At least with hotels and short term rental, tourists will linger and spend money on the room and dining. That money isn't spent on the community when people cruise in while tourists still use the tourist facilities.

It depends.

If you rely only on tourism, you're commuting to a low wage economy. However, some cities have used tourism as the base economy to springboard to high value industries as the tourism amenities end up getting used by high earning locals.

Forums are social media (self.unpopularopinion)
 

People here like to say "I don't use social media; I use forums" like there is a difference between the two. There isn't.

Forums are places where people post and comment on user generated content, other comments themselves.
