Not necessarily my favorite nor something widespread, but it was always the legend/meme that my middle/high schools had a pool on the roof (it was a one story building lmfao)

I feel like “hamburger meat” implies the inclusion of seasoning whereas “ground beef” is literally just the meat

Its a CRM, i agree with the gripes about the name but tbf I’m kinda surprised to see it on here? The GitHub repo seems pretty dead

Ahhhh okay yeah that makes more sense.

Tbh i don’t get it either, unless you’re doing Olympic training why does it matter

100% agree, and made pretty much the same point in the LTT forum a while back. Flavor of the month people annoy tf out of me, I’ve been a linux user for over a decade and have never even thought of recommending something outside of the big 3 (debian/ubuntu (or mint if that’s your thing), fedora, arch)

Tried and true distros are the only real option and IMO the difference between distros once everything is configured is mininal

If you’re asking why pay for an ebike to get less of a workout, i think the framing of the question is wrong: you get an ebike because less exercise vs a normal bike is still more exercise than driving

On a long road trip i keep camping stools (the tripod ones) in my car and use a cooler as the table. Nothing is gonna stop me from getting the XXL brisket sandwich

IMO it’s part distraction part MWWS

I was at my parents house where it was being discussed nonstop on the news, then during a commercial break they showed a picture of a brown 9yo kid who has been missing since November of last year for five seconds.

When the news came back, they were talking about the missing 84yo woman and I made the decision to not pay attention and block it from my news feed

I guess the other difference is that YouTube isn’t traditional media, the content you consume on there has no exclusivity or anything. And the creators producing it are incentivized to go where the biggest audience is (which will always be something free) to maintain relevance and gain bigger sponsorships

Something like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. pays for the content in advance with MAYBE some royalties (and never a lot) and they own the media produced. YouTube doesn’t pay for production (they tried this and it failed horrifically) they pay a portion of the revenue that gets generated from viewership

This only makes sense if watching for free with ads wasnt an option, if they wanted more money they would just raise the cost of premium

I feel like communities being particular is exactly why it should be federated. You can have your account on your instance with you and your friends, but connect to another instance dedicated to a community of hardcore pen enthusiasts with the same account, and no one has to worry about getting money somehow to support hosting all these communities in a single place :)

I also tried over the course of three days to make a stoat account and couldn’t get the verification email to go through.

It’s also centralized with no plans to include federation, so we’d be running from a burning ship to a smoking one

Unfortunately, legality is one thing and enforcement is another. I’ve yet to see action be taken against illegal parking in NYC. Even when it’s been called in and reported.

Same goes for housing violations & hit and runs

Pilk.

Is this/the replies sarcasm? Its just a picture of an Apple store on an article about Apple, who cares where it’s located? And how does that make this worse quality journalism?

Idk about FOSS but unifi is all locally hosted!

Yeah true, i do think it’s more grey than that though.

For example, i don’t really love AI but i have to use it at work for my metrics because management wants to see utilization of it. So, there’s no possible way for me to avoid it entirely, i might as well use it on occasion for stuff outside of work at this point because im already a user whether I like it or not

Lemmy has, what, like 70k MAUs? If everyone here stopped using these platforms (many of which im sure already use them very minimally) it wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket of big techs user base.

No idea tbh, it seems to have commits from 5 months ago but no new releases

Probably a fine buy, you can get m.2s for it and it should be silent at idle. With the level of silence you want, you’re gonna have to do some sort of low power mini PC & ssds.

A quick caution, don’t cheap out on your ssds! The cheap ones are low quality and have high premature failure rates (ask me how i know 😭)
