FYI a bunch of your image posts like this one are being redirected through lemmy.ml, so some clients aren’t expanding the images. Not sure if that’s because these are cross-posts from !memes@lemmy.ml and not sure why they’re adding the redirect, but it seems really weird. For example, the URL of this image is

https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffeddit.org%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F2c4595bf-e0c2-4c12-9127-f1014f9dfb64.jpeg

Won’t this push it past the 100 day extension period congress did authorize in the original bill that was signed into law? Even if Trump said he won’t enforce the fine for Google, Apple, and Oracle for distributing the app, Democrats should make it clear they will go after those companies once Trump no longer controls the DoJ.

It’s a shame J. Walter Weatherman was killed when Michael left the door open with the air conditioner running.

I think he is skirting the law by having the payments be for signing a petition tangential to a vote, but not directly about voting. It’s scummy to say the least, and if you did sign, you’ll probably get spam calls and mail for the rest of your life. At least in this case, the outcome was that Elon didn’t get his preferred candidate to win, he’s wasting money paying people to get on his mailing list, and now when Tesla’s Wisconsin case gets to the state supreme court, Crawford will be on the court

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

Yeah, I remember when it was $75 but didn’t jump on it then. Back then I didn’t think they’d ever charge for basic functionality that was offered for free for 10 years. I don’t regret not getting it though, this is the kick I need over to Jellyfin.

Was the price the same then as it is now? $120 USD? Based on the article, the price will only raise at the end of April.

If you can sacrifice quality, you can encode the videos at a lower bitrate, but that is lossy compression, not lossless. Also, if your videos are in h.264 codec, then transcoding them to h.265 and preserving the quality may be a way to get the files smaller. You would use a tool meant for video, like Handbrake for this, and not winrar or other generic compression tool.

Basically, each of these sites used open standards and APIs as a way to grow their service. Eventually once they got to the user base they wanted and beat out the competition, they could tighten the screws, lock things down, since the users didn’t have any place to go, they were locked in.

In terms of specifics, it’s unclear if they were ever profitable before locking things down, since the main goal at that phase wasn’t making money, it was growing active users and killing competitors. I would have to imagine that with the locked down APIs, they are more profitable, and they never really cared about the community and good will, only when it was beneficial to grow their user base.

Haven’t seen it but a Google search with this posts title shows it’s this episode:

Not sure if that’s true or not.

Maybe this is launcher specific, but on Pixel phones, when pulling up the list of apps to switch to, there’s a screenshot button, which is way easier and can be done with one hand.

There was a good episode of Planet Money which went into this. I addition to what you said, when doctors would get texts, they were more likely to dismiss the message and not respond immediately which was more dangerous.

I’ve seen all of these except for Hard to Pick, doesn’t looks like it’s streaming.

you know this comment was in reply to this communities mod, right? Also it’s been 2h and the post is still here.

My suggestion is to find a good instance, such as lemmy.blahaj.zone, and go through the list of blocked instances to find one which works for you. Filtering by software and version number should yield an active Lemmy instance.

You could try Truth Social if you’re looking for places where people have a deep hate towards others who are not cis straight white men.

$4404 contains 404 though, i.e. 404 Error: Profit Not Found, which makes me chuckle.

According to https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Truth-About-Emanuel-The#tab=summary , the domestic box office was $4,404
