There’s this one Nazi CEO that I hope we can agree either has no soul or at least one that we could do without. Yet we’re not killing him.

Killing people is wrong and while there may be factors that make it seem more warranted, nothing will ever make it right.

Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.

I guess: great concept, shitty company.

Like with so many “tech giants”, they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more “public infrastructure” for this. I’d love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, … Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society’s fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.

I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I’ve often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, …

You simply don’t get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I’ve considered so far

Username checks out

I get so triggered by people just using the external screen as a mirror. With wrong aspect ratio and resolution. With maximized windows.

There’s a reason I need tiling shortcuts and an ultrawide screen.

I have several niche interests which are discussed heavily on the respective subreddits but basically don’t exist on Lemmy. I use Lemmy far more than Reddit by now but I cannot do without Reddit. I am a lot better at avoiding Meta services.

At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction

I think there’s a huge difference between fighting bullying or hate speech against minorities. Another thing is making fun of very specific and very public people.

This comment made me double check. They’re from San Francisco: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_Computer

I’d prefer to buy taiwanese tbh. 😉

Wow, that stuff looks awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Now, can we have a cool European company doing similar stuff? At the rate it’s going I can’t decide whether I shouldn’t buy American because I don’t want to support a fascist country or because I’m afraid the country might crumble so badly that I can’t count on getting service for my device.

I remembered Boost from the good old days a while back and am using it alongside voyager. It’s not as great as I remembered, so I’ll probably stick with Voyager. My home network keeps me safe of ads though 😉

Seems like “drain the swamp” turned into “put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest”

ROBINWOOD (I think) in AoE II

I can see a client called P2Play that’s been updated 7 months ago. What about that one?

Now this is a really intriguing review! It’s on my list now!

What did you enjoy about it? This sounds like something I’d generally enjoy :) Is there maybe something comparable that comes to mind others may have read? I’ve read a lot of Gibson and early Stephenson for example. And almost everything by Doctorow. Maybe those are authors you can compare to?

Thanks!

Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.
