It probably used some weird webview shit they routed through Edge, so when you uninstalled it the entire system broke.

Maybe it's Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia? They would be using Australian dollars, with $ as the currency symbol.

I completely agree. I’m personally holding off on heavy promotion of this platform until we hit 1.0. If people join too early and are turned off by the lack of polish, they may not come back after it’s fixed.

The people on the top have a variety of internal justifications for what they’re doing. Some say that the world is “dog eat dog” and that they are the only ones looking out for themselves. Others say that what they’re doing is for some grander good that will come once they acquire enough wealth and power. Some are deluded enough they have convinced themselves they are telling the truth. That and many more justifications fly through the heads of the ultra-wealthy and powerful as they continue spreading misinformation and enriching themselves.

The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones.

I’m guessing that’s how they plan to get around that. They will leave the toggle enabled for people registered in EU countries, and disable it everywhere else. A fairly risky way to handle it in my opinion.

It truly is disgusting that they’ve made this model. Tinder has always been severely flawed in my opinion, but this makes it several times worse.

Yeah, our elections suck. They should be more open and should be ranked choice. Likewise, the Electoral College is complete bullshit. Even still, Xi is a dictator and China is not a democracy. Multiple things can be true.

Most dictators haven’t gone by that term, preferring instead some other executive role like chairman, supreme leader, or president. If Xi doesn’t want to be called a dictator, maybe China should start holding open elections, see how popular the CCP really is.

That genuinely reads like satire. What an awful corporate model, extracting every penny out of the workers and consumers to force that line to keep going up.

I think the idea behind this is to spend your entire life alternating between periods of work and retirement. It’s definitely an idea I could get behind, though society now is not built for it.

I understand and sympathize with Rob on a spiritual level.

I’m glad to see lab-grown meat clear another hurdle. The better and more common this technology is, the closer we’ll be to finally getting rid of the meat industry and factory farming.

Good for them. It’s about time the workers of America get what they deserve, rewarding jobs and a living wage.

UK Labour should take this as a grave warning and change course immediately.

It makes sense that it dropped a bit during COVID, hopefully, it will pick up in the future again.

The copy, pasting, cutting, and moving features have improved significantly but I will admit it’s still not perfect.

I personally use Xournal++. It’s a really nice app and is FOSS.

I view it as a benefit, and I’m willing to make concessions on salary for additional or better benefits. Arguably you could have both, but I think unionization is required for that and I’m in a low unionization industry.

I agree, humor is a valid coping mechanism. It’s not like a serious conversation on Lemmy is going to solve world hunger, your joke was fine in my opinion.

Thee developers really crunched over July. It went from a niche beta platform to fully featured third-party apps and a ton of platform optimizations in a month, which is really impressive.
