Starting them up isn’t particularly difficult. Keeping them alive is.

Without enough users (and old content), it can be hard to keep a community afloat

That’s already a thing in Mexico (with a 3rd party reseller)

Plastics may be invading our lives now, but her time wasn’t without pollutants like lead or asbestos. We should try to be healthy despite the pollution

I love the phrase “your average Joe”, but it doesn’t translate very well, or I couldn’t think of a translation quickly enough (English isn’t my first language), so when I was talking with my friends one day, I translated it as “your average mortal”, and I liked it

Pay attention to your sleep cycle, so you don’t wake up in the middle of deep sleep. And as others have said, wake up early the day before so it’s easier to fall asleep

And you will need it in 5-10 years if/when you have a display and accessory that requires it. I doubt anyone will need the new cable anytime soon

And where was it?

My elementary school once brought exchange students from Australia. They did short presentations about their culture, and spent the rest of the month in the library with a teacher that came with them. They never really talked with us or anything.

I love mechanical watches, and I’ve had watches since before smart watches were a thing. The idea of a watch becoming obsolete is so absurd to me.

It’s definitely higher than I was expecting, but nowhere near what Musk would want you to believe

That sounds expensive. They’d rather change the law. Again.

Of course there is! They could spend more money in PR campaigns and _bribes lobbying

I’m all in favour of prosecuting Google for it’s search monopoly, but Trump only cares about using the monopoly in his own favour

Given that neither twitch nor YouTube will let you, you should look at Owncast; but I don’t know about a particular server for that

I’m sure they understand the problems, and they understand that solving them would eat into their profits

Meta made a twitter clone when they had the chance, they’ll happily make a YouTube clone.

I don’t think Amazon or Microsoft are very interested in entering that market, but they are the only ones with the money and compute to support such a platform.

Maybe Netflix could be interested? But I doubt it

All the songs I have copied to iTunes get uploaded, but if you have the lossless versions they get converted to normal quality on other devices, or if you remove the local original copy.

Music doesn’t support flac, though, you have to convert them to alac first.

I also use a Mac, I don’t know if it’s different on windows

The real problem is they didn’t play the “think of the children” card. Then the government would leave them alone

A special deal? Doesn’t the message basically say “give us your data so you maybe have a chance at buying stock at full price, and be thankful we’re not marking it up”?

Can you elaborate why? I’m curious
