If I want to share a post with someone from another instance, it looks like I have 2 options:

1. I can share how my instance links to the post, which is the little link symbol.

2. Or I can click the federated symbol and that apparently shares a link from the poster's instance.

In both cases, whoever I share the link with is unable to view that post from their account if they're on another instance. Is there a way to alleviate this?

Only about 6 hours of campaign and it's a shell of what was demoed.

I'm not referring to the people who gamble once in a blue moon. I'm talking about those who gamble habitually.

How come they're all such garbage people, with legitimately no exceptions? Take a look at any high-stakes poker table and everyone except maybe the dealer is a de-facto scumbag.

On Reddit, some subreddits allowed users to add a title next to their name called 'flair.'

Is there anything like this on Lemmy?

Seems like the fediverse would be a good way for Chinese citizens to get around censorship.

Does anyone know if they are using it?

I'm trying to add more fruit to my diet, but I'm having trouble finding good deals.

Grapes, for example, are $6 per bag of ~2.25lbs (~~453~~ 906 grams). That would be mostly acceptable, only I can't eat that many grapes before they go bad.

I then saw pears, and noticed they were ~$1.30 each. That's a crazy price to be paying when I'm going to be eating an entire pear with my meal. It becomes the most expensive part by a massive margin, and it's not even meat!

So, what really set me off was seeing apples, apples for $1. One. Dollar. Per. Apple. That's insane. It's unacceptable. It should not be the case.

So I ask, what is going on? Is this the result of ensuring people will pay the absolute maximum they're willing to, regardless of what something costs to produce? Is this the result of that occurring at every step of the way in all of our lives, including for apple farmers?

Is there something else? Is there a legitimate, not-passing-a-bunch-of-money-around-at-the-top reason for why a bleeping apple costs $1 now?

It's my understanding that fruits typically are made to be consumed, in the sense that it benefits the evolution of the plant. An animal eats the fruit and perhaps some seeds along with it, the seeds don't get digested and end up in soil somewhere further than the plant could spread on them on its own.

How do pineapples fall into this mix? They're practically impossible to eat without tools, and it looks like it's by design. It also bothers me that they're not as easy to eat as apples.

How would this be beneficial to the evolution of the species?

It's so difficult with so many options and all these bullshit "discounts", coupled with the fact that different VPNs charge different prices based on what country you're connecting from...

What is the cheapest functional VPN you've come across? Bonus points if it supports IPv6.
