You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.
All you need is one instance to actually verify its users.

You’re whining that people complain about censorship?
Upvote because it’s a good meme or downvote because discussion on the instance will be heavily censored?
I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.
The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.
The effect was that Android got “Find My” about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won’t be compatible. But isn’t Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.
legally required to increase the shareholders’ value.
First, this isn’t really true. Corporations are not required to increase shareholder value at any cost. Second, even if it were true, why would you still excuse those actions?
Disagree. I prefer XML for config files where the efficiency of disk size doesn’t matter at all. Layers of XML are much easier to read than layers of Json. Json is generally better where efficiency matters.
Why do you assume this has anything to do with a supply/demand curve? Because that’s the first thing you were taught in Econ 101 and it stuck?
In reality, most people aren’t that sensitive to small changes in price. And the demand drop is not instant. It might take months or years. Execs make the decision to raise the price, they don’t see the demand drop off immediately, and they instantly absolve themselves of any responsibility for the effects of their price increase. After all, there was hardly any demand drop in the quarter in which they made the change.
Look at say, Coca-Cola. You could easily double the price in five years and the price is negligible enough that most people won’t even notice. (Oh wait, they did this.)
The point is that if you’re going to keep blackmail, you have to share with the government.
The easy answer is to stop keeping blackmail.
At least this advice should always be paired with classes at a shooting range.
Be clear that it’s not the pictures that are the problem. It’s the threat.
One of the reasons I like apps for Lemmy is for notifications.
Coincidentally, one of the reasons companies like apps is for notifications.
Goodbye Chromecast!
Hello, thing that’s totally not Chromecast.
To illustrate, let’s play a game. We each put in a dollar, and whoever wins a coin flip gets the two dollars. Completely fair, even odds, right? We’ll play until one of us decides to stop or someone runs out of money.
I’ll start with $1000 and you start with $10. Let’s see how it turns out.
If it helps, picture a graph where the bottom axis is number of coin flips and the Y axis is the amount each player is up or down in total. Each flip can move the graph by $1, up or down randomly. So it’s going to bounce a little, because it’s random. Some bounces will be bigger than others.
The house can offer you completely fair odds and still take your money just fine.
If I have vegetables or alcohol, I’m going through the cashier line.
If there’s no reasonable cashier line it’s 50/50 that I’m walking out.
If there are people here, there are bots/paid propagandists here.
But yeah, I generally agree that it’s concerning to throw that in here.
