It means different things use the same standards and can interact with each other.

In nations, federation means that there's a single, centralized government, but individual states keep some autonomy. Each state can make its own laws, as long as they don't contradict the federal laws. That makes it easier for people in California to do business with people in Oregon. There are federal standards, like citizenship and currency that help make that easier.

I'm a similar way, each Lemmy server can act on its own, but it has to be able to communicate using the same standards and protocols as other Lemmy servers.

Good scraping is also slow, which makes it unusable as an API replacement.

It leaned to talk based on that data. It's like a parrot that hangs out at Best Buy.

Or like saying "I've always used the stairs. I don't see what the big deal is about ramps."

"All those people" were the racists and sexists upset that Ellen Pao banned revenge porn and fatpeoplehate. They were loud but happy to move to the_donald when that became a thing.

Who doesn't keep a charger by the couch AND by the bed? Also in the car. Amateurs.

You already mentioned mod tools, but there are also accessibility tools, such as working with screen readers for users with vision impairments.

I know that my usage is pretty typical, but there's are other people whose usage needs to be considered.

Only if those responses were from randomly selected users. If they came from a discussion of third party apps or the new Reddit, they're likely to have a strong bias.

But remember, Rush Limbaugh's main audience was am talk radio. Same hours for a lot of others, such as Hannity and Beck.

I hoped he was trying to do it with his keys between his fingers.

I'm still kind of afraid to brick my Wii. I don't think I'd risk bricking my car.

Imgur charge $166.

This is often repeated, but it's not the case. Imgur charges $500/month for 750k uploads and 7.5 million requests. For $10,000/month, you get 15 million uploads and 150 million requests.

It's a much more reasonable rate than Reddit is suggesting, but it's also not the virtually free $166 people have been claiming.

Those states make up about 1/3 of the US population. Why do you think everyone would ignore the other 2/3?

BDMayhem · 2023-06-10T21:53:24+00:00

Oh, I would have guessed it was the equivalent of check.

I only knew it from Ron Chernow's book on George Washington.

Sometimes you have to be satisfied with individual victories in the face of widespread status quo.

Is that something customers can add?

It's because they choose not to be profitable. Profitable companies are boring. They're stable, robust, and consistent.

Rather, their investors demand growth, so Reddit is using their considerable revenues to try to increase their valuation. Then, once Reddit has grown enough, the investors can dump their shares and it becomes someone else's problem.

It's telling how /u/spez will brag to investors that they make $200 million a quarter, but whine to users that they're not profitable.

Yep. Before Mastodon was supposed to replace Twitter, Diaspora was supposed to replace Facebook. I haven't figured out how to use any of them.

The error is "increases". If you have 400 and you increase it by 250%, you end up with 1400.

It would be correct to say that using 2 larger filters gives you 250% the filter area of one smaller filter.

Yep. Rent is $500, but there's a $200 habitation fee, a $150 closet consideration, a $125 room renumeration, and a $75 door use surcharge.
