They're trying to prepare for an IPO but it seems they've chosen the Twitter business plan
If you still have excess wax you can of course use a tissue or something to clean your outer ear, but yeah sticking hard objects in your ear canal isn't great.
That said I'm a qtip fanatic
I have to wonder what absolute psychopath would put milk, then boiling water, then a teabag into a cup and consider the result drinkable. I've made that mistake... once.
Ah, the macchiato of alcohol
So far Reddit seems to have avoided getting into a lot of trouble by not really hosting images itself much (this is changing, as is imgur's policies) and by being mostly NOT for it so it doesn't get noticed. Making an instance for the purpose invites a ton of scrutiny and liability that few people want to deal with. That said nothing's stopping anyone from spinning up their own instance.
Yeah I'm really excited! OsmAnd obviously has a foothold and is a swiss army knife of GPS stuff, but I don't think I'll ever be able to recommend it to my friends and family. Whereas with OM the developers seem open to accomplishable FOSS privacy-respecting improvements while keeping things simple and usable, so I have hope that I can help nudge it in the right direction.
Wow, so Google pulled a Microsoft. Amazing. May they both burn
Edit: apparently lemmygrad is much worse than I realized
The only caveat I have to this is that being communist shouldn't be an automatic block. Lemmy.ml doesn't block lemmygrad and I see no reason why it should, the posts I see are like "wow capitalism is fucking us up" not like "Tiananmen did nothing wrong and let's repeat it x1000" so it really doesn't seem comparable to proactively blocking Nazis. If you block "both sides" of a violent conflict like, say, the war in Ukraine, you've suddenly blocked everyone with a useful opinion.
The screenshot reminds me of Donut County so check that out if you haven't already
Tagging off OpenStreetMap to say I also contribute to Organic Maps, the best mobile app for OSM in my opinion.
They've been branding tons of stuff for men's hair/skin/etc care lately (starting with Axe body spray and going downhill from there) and I just gave up and got a bottle of Dr. Bronners and use it for everything. My hair has gotten less frizzy, I feel cleaner, it takes like five drops to clean my whole body, and I can refill it at the natural grocer's so there's no plastic waste. Real men (and women, and non-binary people) don't get baited into conditioning their gender and self-worth off what some two-bit influencer tells them.
Per-app API billing also makes very little sense for something like RIF or Apollo. If the usage itself is so expensive then tie billing to the user account itself: want to datamine? Great, pay up. Casual user? Good news, you get ten thousand free calls per month and rate limited beyond that.
But no that would be sane and not lock people into their shitty ecosystem.
