Could you just unsubscribe and look at your subscribed feed?

Even on Reddit, the largest subs would pop up more when sorting by 'top X'

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

The times when it works just reinforce the act of trying it again and again

I feel like there is a balance to this.

  • I hate all the stuff Facebook/Meta has done, but a service from a for-profit company will have a cost.
  • At the same time, if you make the cost so excessive that no one will actually go for it, it's not really an alternative and rather a loophole for the law.

What makes more sense is to set the price point around equal to the amount made / user. I REALLY doubt that they are making $168 from each person per year.

I don't have the data with me, but would a quick and dirty total_revenue/total_users give a good estimate? Assuming total_revenue doesn't include other products like devices

A lot of companies have 'standards' on the books, but there's more to it than that. I haven't read the article yet, but sometimes a company will create standards but not actually enforce/check up on them, or worse they'll demand so much from the factories that the standards couldn't be met even if the factories tried

The issue is probably storage, you can't use up all that electricity right away and it's probably hard to store it nicely

Although I'm not an engineer, just taking a wild guess. Maybe the lightning can be redirected into something to do something else (heat water etc.).

If there was a decent phone with FM radio and an IR blaster, I might pick it over a lot of other ones.

I miss having an IR blaster so much, I was always finding new uses for it. Now I've got little remotes everywhere again

Yea I dont get it, just do it a little bit at a time.

Whenever I get a notification that's annoying (ex. Remember to play this game!!), I'll long press and turn them off. Sometimes it's important but not sound/vibration important, so I'll just turn them silent.

Now the only notifications I get are things that I actually need.

Now I'm thinking of

My partner wanted to have kids. I did not. They had other plans. Three beautiful kids. Sold Two. Kept the one who snuggles up with me every night and purrs me to sleep. Wake up to this now:

No longer against the idea.

Ages ago, a kid in my class would bring a few little containers of leftovers after thanksgiving. It was better than the regular lunches kids had, so it was well appreciated.

I remember one year, there was a student that often didn't bring any lunch (maybe the parents couldn't pack any, maybe she was forgetful). Well that year she got a little box saved just for her

Welcome! I'd recommend subscribing to [email protected], to see recommendations over time.

We also have a guide for finding new communities here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I've copied below for you.


A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

For a list of instances to look through:

  • pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

Isn't that basically how it works?

Just add an additional group of monkeys that aggressively hires and fires the others based on performance

Tada, machine learning
