In the NBA, they try to compromise by sharing the screen for ads during live gameplay. But the ad section is bigger than the game section.

Hard to pick just one so I’ll list a few:

• Thank You Scientist - 2x
• Haken - 3x
• Porcupine Tree - 1x
• King Crimson - BEAT lineup 2x, 3 drummer lineup 1x
• Tesseract - 1x
• Meshuggah - 1x

I wonder how a corporate product deal would ever be cheaper than FOSS software. Bundled apps perhaps? And maybe central management? And maybe centralized or cloud-based storage and content management?

They are better with their physical privacy (i.e. gated mansions and tall fences), but the ones who aren’t tech-literate (i.e. non tech bros) are likely the same as everyone else, and are probably even worse off than privacy-conscious regular people. I remember Zuck uses Signal, so we know at least the tech bros who are technically literate (and not the ones who only pretend to know what they’re talking about) are aware of their personal privacy.

They started building better cars in 2014+ and now they’re fantastic.

That was until people realized they didn’t install immobilizers on their pre-2022 vehicles (at least in the US) and the kiaboyz trend happened, then their reputation nosedived again. Not saying their EVs are bad though, they seem to be designed well. But yes, the data harvesting is horrendous.

Aloha Burger! It’s good.

I would like to know more.

Scroll down to the bottom of both instances’ home pages using the default lemmy UI. You’ll see the version of lemmy they use. You’ll also see a link labeled as Legal, which contains most of the instance’s policies. The Instances link will show you what instances they are federated and defederated with. The modlog can also give you some insight on what’s happening on the instance. Combine that with all the other information on their sidebars and you’ll get a rough idea of how different they are managed.

It also helps if you’ve been on lemmy for a while because you would’ve directly experienced or witnessed any issues or controversies those instances have been involved with.

And it sucks because they have the more affordable EV options out there.

For .ee users still deciding on an instance to jump to, I chose .zip because it’s managed similarly:

• Similar defederation policy
• Runs the latest version of lemmy
• Defederated from Threads

Others moved to piefed.social.

Talk about over exaggeration lol. Lemm.ee was fine and well run, I enjoyed it more than being on .world. They just didn’t have enough people willing to be admins.

No wonder most websites look terrible on desktop now and are designed for mobile.

I think it’s simply because more people use mastodon and lemmy, so there’s more incentive to work on them, and there are a lot more contributors to development.

Care to expound on that? I picked .zip to migrate to from .ee

I’ve always thought Been Here Before by Derek Sherinian would be an awesome funeral song. Such an epic chorus.

Are you able to share which group? A lot of older bands that have declined in popularity over the years play for rich people at private parties.

They sure make it look so good in movie westerns though. I’ve always been fascinated with that meat+beans stew they make in movies. They look like they taste so good.

• StarCraft
• Heretic
• Diablo
• Quake
• Half Life / Counterstrike

Just got past 1 year ownership of a new build and had the 1-year warranty inspection done and worked with the builder to do the repairs. I think it has only started to calm down now, as we’ve finally experienced one year of living in the house and we now know what to expect throughout the year. Except for emergencies and major unexpected issues of course.

I would definitely jam in a band with three of my other selves. We’ll be able to make music pretty quickly because we literally have the same minds.
