Long term sustainability is going to be challenging. The Lemmy userbase is way smaller than reddit's regardless, and for 3.50 EUR one-off it will be challenging to cover future development efforts.

I'm happy with OnePlus. Will never touch an Apple device, they are so unintuitive and locked down. If android follows that trend, I'd rather have no phone.

Samsung phones are so full of bloatware, I'll never buy them again.

Worthless =/= insolvent.

The value is determined based on a shareholder valuation, insolvent means having a negative cashflow and depleted reserves.

You can technically run a stock absolutely into the ground if everyone would place sell orders at market (i.e. without limit) and the only buyers would offer 1 cent.

That changes nothing about the profitability of the company though.

And while this is a very hypothetical scenario for a listed company, for an unlisted one you can freely adjust your list price. If he were to sell 1% for $1 to his neighbor, the company valuation would be down to 100 bucks.

Because Russia blew up domestic infrastructure, so satellite based communication looked like a decent alternative.

Huh, that might get me to try mastodon again. The browser experience used to be crap.

Linux loves dual boot, windows is the problem and always has been. But as long as you install windows first and Linux second, there's no problem whatsoever, the installer detects your installation and automatically adds multiboot. Installing windows after Linux means that you will have to restore the bootloader.

Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.

https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn't know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as "a remote instance", i.e. not the one where you are registered.

The "multireddit" feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the "browse as local" feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I'd say it's 99% there.

High tech from the 90's :-D

I'm using Genius Scan+ on my phone and bought the cloud backup option for like $3 one-off, that enables automated exports to dropbox, google drive and a bunch of other services. Every document I receive is scanned and adequately named right away, and then automatically exported to both google drive and dropbox.

The dropbox client then again runs on my laptop and desktop and automatically syncs new files to the local folders, so I have the original scan on my phone plus two cloud backups and the local copies of the cloud backups on another two devices.

The original documents are kept in physical folders, neatly stored at home.

In case the important document is a digital copy only, I will export it from my mailbox directly to the dropbox & google drive, so it's the same as above minus the copy on my phone. Depending on how important it is, I might also print a copy for safekeeping and/or forward it to a secondary email should I ever lose access to my primary.

 

There, I said it. Had some Wagyu A5, genuine certified import from Japan prepared by an actual chef on a handful of occasions. The last one was on Saturday as part of a business conference in the exec suite of some fancy hotel, talking to potential investors.

The set menu cost the equivalent of $700 per person, wines not included.

And. I. still. don't. like. it.

The meat is simply too rich, too soft, too greasy. There's no bite to it. Every time I try it, it reminds me of sucking on a piece of beef flavored butter. A slightly solidified cube of beef lard.

Just give me a Black Angus rump or sirloin steak if you must, that's pretentious enough at a fraction of the cost and provides such a nicer eating experience.

And please, PLEASE, for the love of everything holy, don't give me Wagyu cubes topped of with steamed foie gras. That's akin to buttering your lard. Maybe in 50 years when all my teeth are gone, I'll appreciate being able to grind down a piece of beef between my gums. But as it stands, the Wagyu hype couldn't die fast enough.

Oh sorry forgot to mention the drivers. In my experience this is not true at all. People who have drivers are usually senior executives, and they'd have company cars. Typically some top of the line Mercedes or BMW, sometimes a Porsche SUV. Electric cars (even the fancier ones) are rather affordable, and people here are very focused on their external impression.
