Are Democrats ok with this or are they also losing their shit?

Having the term "socialist" in his description "Democrat socialist of america" is gonna turn off a lot of people. It's a dirty word in the US.

Still think building their own site with apps I can throw on my devices is pretty involved.

And how do they get big? How do they get discovered? SEO ?

They're getting huge because of the platform.

I'm not saying google is not evil but it literally gives them their audience.

I watch YT more than anything else by a mile, and if my top subscription moved to their website, and I had to jump through hoops to watch them on my TV device, by installing a browser or something I probably would stop watching them or watch them way less. Another TV friendly app sure that wouldn't be a problem, but I don't see many doing that.

Like others have already said the 9 doesn't use light/optics but it still sucks compared to the one on the back. I use, but generally dislike the P9 finger print reader. I've gone so far as not using a screen protector to help that stupid thing. Still has way too many error reads

Who knew knowing you were not likely to die when you ride your bike on public roads increases peoples desire to ride on public roads.

I don't remember that, however it doesn't surprise me at least for a radius around your area. I'd be surprised if they had all of them from all the states

No doubt, lucky us, we get neither...

Right, but when everyone got phone books, those were only shared locally in the town. It would be pretty hard to figure out someones phone number from across the state/country without the internet unless you knew someone in the town.

You could also pay to be unlisted, which is a luxury long since gone. How cool would it be to make your data 'unlisted' by paying a small monthly fee.

And the exact same amount of accountability will be applied here.

Yep, exactly, when they screw me I'll leave

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
