in der repräsentativen Auswertung, die der Verband „Die Familienunternehmer“ in Auftrag gegeben hat

Hinweis: "Die Familienunternehmer" ist ein knallharter Lobbyverband von so sympathischen kleinen familiären mittelständischen Betrieben wie BMW, Merck, Oetker, Deutsche Vermögensberatung, Miele, Thalia oder Bertelsmann. Wir sollten Umfragen, die solche Wirtschaftsghoule zum Thema "Arbeitszeiterhöhung" in Auftrag geben, arg skeptisch betrachten

Ja schon irgendwie - stell dir einfach mal vor, du gibst deinen Kindern so ein paar Haribo und danach sind sie bekifft. Da rennst du aber sofort ins Krankenhaus, weil du natürlich nicht weißt, dass das "nur" Cannabis war. Und wenn man ehrlich ist, sind natürlich alle Rauschzustände eine Vergiftung. Wir wissen halt beim Kiffen oder Saufen, was uns erwartet und machen das absichtlich, aber wenn du völlig ahnungslos plötzlich solche Rauschzustände abkriegst, ist das gar nicht so witzig und auch arg gefährlich

If you go back to an older version of Windows, it becomes clear how bad Microsoft has become. Try Windows 95 and you'll be surprised how clean it is. How few distractions the OS is showing into your face. How tidy the menus are and they also give you little hints for the keyboard shortcuts

Going from "having no internet" to "doing international lawsuits" is quite a journey

Privater Solarstrom ist halt megacool für Menschen: Ich habe jetzt am 4. Mai das letzte Mal 3kWh Strom gekauft, davor 1kWh am 26.4. Die Batterie hält dank des guten Wetters und v.a. der längeren Tage jetzt die Nacht über. Das bleibt jetzt erfahrungsgemäß so bis Ende September/Anfang Oktober so. Und die eingespeiste Energie fließt im Zweifelsfall direkt ins Nachbarhaus.

Dezentral, keine Sorge um Strompreiserhöhungen mehr, spart richtig Geld, CO2-neutral, macht keinen Lärm, stinkt nicht, kein Wunder, dass die CDU das doof findet

And if you grant access to your own apps, but deny them to your competitors, that is totally a monopoly abuse

It's a really horrible way of doing business. Fitbit had its own niche, kind of great products, name recognition, global distribution and more. Then Google came, bought them and now we're left with one Pixel watch, everything else on life support and a destroyed company.

Let's be honest: I, as a customer, want to make informed buying decisions. I want to buy food that is tasty and maybe is healthy, but not based on some image that some marketing guys want to push. I want to choose the car which is best (and cheapest) for my purposes, and don't want to be hearded into buying something else. I want to choose the best insurance for me and not be mislead by some emotional ad showing me a happy family.

And I really do not want to be manipulated in an emotional vulnerable moment so that I buy something. That's shady as fuck

It's crazy if you're thinking about it: If Harris was elected, everything would go on their usual ways.

There's also this alternate view from the top:

And let's be honest: Whoever uses a weapon like that in a crowd like that is playing with lifes. That can led to a crowd panic, which will kill people.

There is an oversupply and China is reducing imports to protect their own industry:

It's also a great way to mess with Trump (and other conservative governments worldwide) as farmers are some of their most loyal supporters. And since the Trump gov won't do much against H5N1, it's also a great way to protect yourself.

Reddit is calculating its MAU differently. They seem to be counting even not-logged-in users coming from search engines - without that numbers like "1 billion monthly active users" really don't make any sense and even that is a crazy metric, if you think about it. There is no way that 1/8 of humanity is browsing on Reddit in a month. Lemmy seems to count only users who are doing something (submitting, commenting, upvoting)
