Those tiny round signs on sticks were absolutely ridiculous. What are they, crossing guards? Might as well be, because crossing guards would have more guts and more principles.

But that would have put their corporate donations in jeopardy!
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse:
The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[5][6]
You would have to look at those citations to see how authoritative they are. This may also still be open to interpretation?
That’s actually kind of a brilliant concept that should serve as an example for other video game publishers then: open-source the program so that it can be maintained by the community, but require a license to use the artwork. The community could eventually recreate and even improve the artwork anyway.
That would be a completely legendary move if the dev hired by EA just said “fuck it, I’m open-sourcing this shit!”
I’ve heard of that too. They also have a mobile app, so you can do it directly from your phone.
Holy moly. 3,000 kg of gold at today’s price would be $281,382,000 (281 million dollars). Gold is $93,794 per kg at the moment.
The best I can think of off hand is to look at the mobile apps that are designed to interact with traditional forums, because they will have directories of all the ones that are integrated with them. For example, Tapatalk and Fora Communities. You should be able to find thousands of forums categorized in those apps? I’ve never used these apps myself, but have heard of them.
That would be rather clever!
Elon has two left feet!
I get that reference. Holy shit!
No, but I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about. The references to Reddit are secondary, I think. We’re talking about how to improve Lemmy by having the place not be littered with a high proportion of dead communities.
Yes, and I think it would benefit Lemmy in general if all instance admins did a clean up. Start by deleting all communities that have been around for a while but have never had any posts.
Edit: there are plenty of those. Look through /communities on your own instance to get an idea and try all the different sorts. I see many communities with several subscribers but 0 posts.
I bought something off Ebay, and sure enough it came from Amazon anyway. I guess they either dropped shipped or they fulfill their orders.
Argh, this drives me crazy! I went to ebay and was willing to pay more to avoid Amazon, but the stuff comes from Amazon anyway. I’m pretty sure this is just 3rd-party sellers drop-shipping stuff. I don’t believe ebay sells anything themselves.
Anyway, I finally figured out that anything being sold new on ebay with only stock photos for a higher price than amazon has a very high likelihood of being cross-shipped from amazon and the seller is pocketing the difference (minus ebay fees?). Either look for non-stock photos, prices less than 5-10% higher than Amazon, or ideally both to avoid this.
A couple of times that I fell for this I made it a point to return the products for a refund. I didn’t give the sellers a negative review because I figured that it’s just some poor slob trying to eek out a living, but I came close.
I don’t watch sports much, but I think I’ve heard multiple times of certain games being played locally not being available at all on TV due to black outs. I could be wrong though.
Sure, I agree with that, but I didn’t say they were socialist sports leagues, only that that they had “socialistic policies”. Perhaps if I had written ‘“socialistic” concepts’ it would have been a bit more clear.
Absolutely! Those corporations also love hobbling or getting rid of any honest competition through mergers, acquisitions, regulatory capture, non-compete agreements, and endless other mechanisms.
Awesome, thank you @ROllerozxa@sopuli.xyz for those details and @Ephera@lemmy.ml for the tag!
