Oh, it's drag-and-drop only with no keyboard support whatsoever. Changing a variable is hidden beneath 12 menus, and it uses a proprietary IDE that locks up after every click. Looks great in screenshots though!

You can 100% fire all your developers!*

*As long as your business users have loads of free time and the skillset of developers.

Just buy our vendor's/partner's SaaS solution and all of this magically goes away!

The post's title is wrong and doesn't match the article. It's about the 0.1%, not the 1%. Huge difference. 1 in 100 people are not business and cultural leaders.

Good! They can put him in a cell with the guy serving life for stealing a loaf of bread.

It's not discontinued. Imo patching out ads in this case is pretty lame, since it's just a single dev making a good product, but who am I to judge.

This is what I did. New induction stovetop for $5000 vs an induction cooktop for $50 that I can also take camping? Easy choice. We use the cooktop for a big toaster oven for everything, including pasta, so we only need to fire up the gas range if we absolutely need multiple burners or a ton of oven space.

Our cooktop heats up water just about as fast as our electric kettle, which was surprising to me. I guess they both probably pull the same amount of power from the wall.

Can't recommend an induction cooktop enough. We got a Nuwave PIC, but I'm sure any cooktop will provide a similar great experience. If you end up getting a PIC, I recommend getting the case with it. We passed it up, but we've taken it camping a few times now and the case would have helped. It totally blows our camp stove out of the water.

Marijuana grows in nature and you just need to dry it out and light it on fire.

That's how I remember it

Is each instance like another person with a server?

Yes.

Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Yes.

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Idk, they'd be very niche.

Sorry I'm sure I messed up some of the terminology, I hope my questions make sense!

Nah, you pretty much nailed it.

Lemmy, and a lot of the fediverse, functions very similarly to email. Gmail can send emails to Proton even though they're hosted by two completely separate companies. A post/comment/vote/interaction is like an email in that a copy of every interaction is sent to every federated instance, like emails sent to recipients. This creates a lot of redundancy and traffic between instances, which has its pros and cons.

This is 100% Sync for Reddit. The icon says "Pro" and there is no pro version of Sync for Lemmy.

I'd like an option to use the red nsfw previews instead of the blur.

In 2020, Marc Benioff, the co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, declared to the New York Times that “it’s time for a new kind of capitalism: stakeholder capitalism, which recognizes that our companies have a responsibility to all our stakeholders”.

And how is our current system not already an extreme version of this???
