Wow, you nearly described the same experiences I had just recently - when I installed steam and a few games for the first time on Linux. And I was also like "Oh, what? It actually works!!"

I immediately shrunk my windows on dual boot and will likely uninstall it completely in near future. No need for bloated windows anymore

Exactly!

Not to mention, that this new oxygen was also poisonous to these bacteria themselves as well!

Yeah, why not simply write a single text in each language and publish that?

It's just a dream, so I don't know ^^

But 6 and 9 can be confused when you don't know the orientation to read them in

Is there any such keyboard config for smartphones/laptops?

[–] swnt@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Either 69 or 96 🤔

I don't mean 60+90 but instead "60 or 90, both goes"

Dann mach uns das doch bitte vor und demonstriere, wie wir innerhalb der nächsten Jahre 8 Mrd. Menschen in den Weltall bringen 🙂

 

Bei anderen EntwicklerInnen auf GitHub kommt das nicht gut an: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues/28

Bitte versucht von Google Chrome (und seien Blink-Engine baiserenden Safari, Edge, Brave, etc.) auf einen anderen Browser wie firefox zu wechseln. Nur weil Google Chrome so verbreitet ist, hat Google so viel Macht über das Web, weil sie mit grossen Vorsprung der meistgenutzte Browser und daher die Client side kontrollieren. Wenn Google Chrome nicht so verbreitet wäre, dann hätten die das wahrscheinlich auch nicht erst vorgeschlagen.

 

Given how important economic thinking is in cryptocurrencies and the world economic system in general, I think this article is very relevant and insightful. I think this is also important, because it also suggests to interpret the overarching "tokenize and economisize everything" mantra in crypto& Blockchain as a continuation of this belief system.

What do you all think?

Here is also a 2007 paper on it: The Religion of the Market

 

Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation.

Everytime I feel they can't make it worse, they just double down.

Out of pure curiosity, what do you think could be the next steps Reddit could take to make their future even more worse in the most effective ways possible? 😄

 

(first post here. hope this is okay)

Copied Text

It seems obvious at this point that Reddit and their CEO do not care about how we feel. They’ve doubled down, tripled down, and quadrupled down.

I think there’s only one recourse remaining: Tell Reddit’s advertisers we will not be buying their products or services as long as they’re providing financial support to Reddit.

I’ve compiled a list of the advertisers I see the most frequently, and included their contact information when I could find it. Sometimes it’s email addresses, sometimes it’s contact forms. Sometimes their customer service is intentionally obscured, and I wasn’t able to locate anything.

Here’s what I’d suggest — write a brief message along these lines:

Hello, I’ve noticed your company advertises regularly on Reddit. As you may be aware, Reddit has suddenly decided to change its business practices, charging exorbitant amounts to app developers, which will have wide-reaching consequences for many, including those with disabilities.

There was no attempt to even give developers an opportunity to switch to a paid system, or to implement your ads into their apps.

Furthermore, Reddit’s CEO has been extremely dishonest through this process, insulting both app developers and the users who provide 100 percent of the content and moderation to their site.

I will not be using your products or services as long as you continue to provide financial support to Reddit.

Please feel free to add to, or change the list of advertisers and contact information.

Now, I’m sure many will be pessimistic about this, but keep in mind that advertiser boycotts had massive impacts on Fox News in the past. They’re directly or indirectly led to changes with hosts like Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson; there’s a reason the advertisers for some of their top shows tend to be companies like My Pillow.
