It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can't see us.

The reason you can't see him is because you're on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they're (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

@ajsadauskas I think Github's awesome lists are kind of like this. They're human-maintained catalogues of worthwhile websites on a specific topic.

Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it'll transition to.

Perhaps we might see another exodus to lemmy/kbin once this happens?

Don't forget Piefed, the new member of the family.

I don't really get how these "IPOs" work. Someone actually has to pay that money for Reddit, right? Even if they manage to get Reddit temporarily profitable, are people really going to get fooled into investing just from that? Or are they guaranteed to get whatever Reddit's value is at the time of the IPO somehow?

Maybe in comparison to the US layout? I'm not having any trouble with them.

If you mean the [] (and {}), they just use the right alt key, which is close enough to them.

I just use the Swiss keyboard layout. Here's an image from Wikipedia.

Don't have any experience with any others.

that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted

That's your bank and those games, not Google.

The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it's about your account's security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it's definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.

Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn't be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

While it's of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it's not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that's why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.
