Welcome to Lemmy! Just by being here you’re about to find out (whether you like it or not!) just how viable it is to replace (almost) everything in your life with open source alternatives, it’s just seems to be part of the (awesome) culture around here. Enjoy!

Why is advertising ok, but any response in opposition of it, is not?

Two years of negotiations - that’s absurd. How many games/products have been released under the MS umbrella in that same span?

Companies: I know you don’t care, but you can easily treat your employees as shareholders and deliver value to them, just the same as delivering value to customers. You release products iteratively, just treat the people helping to make it happen with some dignity and deliver to them as well.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Looks delicious! Did you make the shells too, and if so, how, because they look great!?

And this one fucks:

…when males do have a face-off, they will lock their horns in a competition to determine the stronger puller; kudus’ necks enlarge during the mating season for this reason.

Why does Thaler want to assign copyright to a non-human so badly, when he could simply take the credit himself?

We can see he made references to the fact that Corporations are considered people (fucking citizens united) in his arguments to the court.

Could someone perhaps use the result of the failed cases in an attempt to get citizens united overturned, based on any precedent set through Thaler’s appeals (assuming they all fail)? Maybe that’s too hopeful of a take?

I just want to remind Steve, and I hope you can pass it on, that they are the boss in this world, and they can (rightfully so, and without any particular malice) make the humans do all the outside stuff, such that any ensuing dramas which may occur are completely without inconvenience to Steve, and they can go on living their bestest ever kitty life without any undue stresses.

Also:

The flavor does not derive from any species of raspberry, but rather was developed using esters that are part of the flavor profile of pineapple, banana and cherry. Sugar is commonly added to create taste appeal for the blue raspberry flavor.

What in the actual fuck!! Your store allows TWO cartons of eggs at a time?!?

Ohhhh, you!

It had better be for the fortune it would cost to make it! 😅

IMDB only shows these guys as ‘Cast’ and I’m not 100% convinced:

• Coolio
• B-Real
• Kenneth Blue
• Big Boy

I love this visualization and for some reason your comment made me also wish we had this data correlated with the water usage for each land use category.

The Economist currently has a podcast series about this very topic, it’s called ‘Scam Inc’ hosted by Sue-Lin Wong. They follow a trail of ‘pig butchering’ scammers from their victims back to the scam cities in Myanmar. Very well done and informative.

Thank you! 🔨

Please elaborate

I would usually tip based on the total including free food. So if the total was $20 I would give 15-25% - probably 3 to 5 dollars. In the case of getting just a free drink, I usually tip the price of the drink, similar to what you mention.
