People won't care until negative things start effecting them. Even at that point, many will still deny negative things are happening or they will put the blame somewhere else. This is why I believe things are going to have to get bad, really bad, before they can turn around. The biggest thing to go bad would be the economy. An economy so bad would be hard to deny and live with. Unfortunately, the more money you have, the longer you can "deal with" a bad economy, and still think everything is okay.

So often, the thing that is easy to measure is seen as important. In this case, the amount said is easy to measure. The quality of what is said is not easy to measure, but more important.

Stream fatigue or subscription fatigue?

Why would people buy into digital license plates? The article said they have GSP tracking. Do we really want to be tracked even more? I guess this will just be forced on us. We need to resist it!

How about Luigi Mangione instead?

Funny how the driving behaviour of CEOs (do anything for more money) is the same thing driving all these folks trying to make money off of this incident. Obviously the amounts of money in each case is way different but still ...

" the CEO emphasized that customer experience comes before profits" I'm $ure it does.

I'm an old guy. Since we (my "partner and I) are not married but have lived together for years (no common law here,) husband/wife doesn't apply. I don't know any other word to use other than partner, but it is still difficult for me to naturally say. Not sure why. Funnier (at our age) would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Uh ... no.

So why would you have to go to a particular place to pray to a god? Can that god "hear" you better in certain places? I wish people would examine their beliefs to see if they make any sense. What's with them holding their hands up? Are they like antennas?

I am sure we will be seeing more and more of this as companies cut corners in the name of profit.

 

After installing Firefox 123.0 I ran a Mullvad Connection check https://mullvad.net/en/check and found I had a DNS leak. Turns out that Firefox had changed the settings under "DNS over HTTPS" so that my Mullvad DNS wasn't being used any more. After changing this setting to "off" in Firefox, the Mullvad check passed.

 

I am notified to comments made on post I've made, but how can I "subscribe" to a post that someone else created? I'd like to be able to easily see additional comments as they are made.

I can kind of do this from my saved posts, but that means going and looking to see if there are any new comments on each of those. That isn't very useful.

 

Are there shortcut keys for the web version of Lemmy? I was looking for things like, "next page" or inside a thread "go to next high level post", those kind of things? Also like, "collapse all posts" or "expand all".

 

"All your data are belong to us" - Google

 

Since the Fedidverse is all connected, should I have one account for accessing both Lemmy and Mastodon or have separate accounts for each one (as I do now)?

 

I bet they are trying to go even further in the future... say a subscription to even use your Quest. I hope not.
