Fallacy of relative privation (also known as "appeal to worse problems" or "not as bad as")

Just because Lenovo is worse doesn’t make Spotify correct. Also, he does rant about other anti repair e-waste generators.

I think the image generators are good for generating shitposts quickly. Best use case I’ve found thus far. Not worth the environmental impact, though.

When a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric.

Following the trail to the real source of the 90% figure, this doesn’t appear to be a current statistic.

The success rate for the U.S.-designed Excalibur shells, for example, fell sharply over a period of months — to less than 10 percent hitting their targets — before Ukraine’s military abandoned them last year, according to the confidential Ukrainian assessments.

This also is only regarding GPS jamming, which isn’t the only method of navigation. I feel the article is exaggerating quite a bit. I have no doubt GPS jamming was quite effective a year ago, I also have no doubt the Ukrainians have adapted since then.

Source is suspect, basically some dude’s blog. I’d take this with a grain of salt.

Because it’s good to get rid of old equipment, at least from the military’s perspective. They get money for the old hardware and now can justify getting more new stuff.

I picked Plok up out of a bargain bin in the 90s and it changed my musical preferences for life. One of the best sounding SNES soundtracks imo. RIP Geoff.

There’s a great reconstruction of Beach, the musician sought out all the original samples and redid it with modern production techniques. Sounds amazing: https://youtu.be/qLpyA27MZRA

I was doing this on Reddit 10 years ago, so...

Here it's being used a singular group of things

It's not singular, "users" is plural. "A group of users" is singular, but "users" is referring to multiple individuals. The correct verb to use with users is are.

For example, you would be incorrect to say "There is users online", but you could say "There is a group of users online".

"There are a lot fewer users" is the proper grammar. You wouldn't say "There is users online", you'd say "There are users online" because users is plural. "There is a user online" would be singular.

“users” is plural and countable so it should be “are” and “fewer”

Is it possible to transfer favorite communities from an account on one server to another? Say for example I'd like to have an alt with the same favorites on another server for a backup. Is this possible with wefwef or other means?

Looking to get my main off lemmy.world to help load balance, but I don't want to refavorite everything; if I could somehow keep them in sync that would be ideal.
