I arrived during the API debacle.

Some things are better, content and activity.

Some things are worse, spammers, AI proponents who harrass you despite the clear community-wide dislike of the plagarism machine, fascist chuds trying to mainstream rascism, misogyny, and ableism.

Basically each new wave is another usenet September equivalent, and it feels like we’re approaching the eternal september epoch as lemmy becomes more widely used. Soon we’ll have to deal with state actor bot-nets if we aren’t already.

While neat, I am concerned about this pushing out native trees species. North America has experienced numerous ecological disasters due to non-native Flora and Fauna spreading outside thier normal ranges. Most transcontinental.

I think try is the wrong world, pretty sure we’ve succeeded, the question now is “Does anything survive?”

Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)

Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously “It can’t be that expensive if they treat it this poorly.”

I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.

Redevelop my city to be more walkable/bikeable and better Public transport.

I had a similar experience at a Chiropractor. They had the automated massage bed, which was way cheaper than going to a medical massage office on my insurance.

But I was reading thier quack information slideshow on one of the TVs, but they kept quoting some dude. I looked him up and he was an out and proud neo-nazi.

So I left in middle of my appointment and never returned any calls and left a review on google. Google took my review down.

If you have a cutter and cloner theres almost no reason to not grab a SmartPro or Autel. It’d pay for itself in less than a year.

Assuming you’ve got a sidewinder cutter it’s worth researching GM’s onboard programming. You can do most vehicles older than 2023 without a programmer.

Hello fellow locksmith. We’ve basically given up on selling residential Smart Locks and Padlocks in our shop. For pretty much the same reasons you’ve described. Our prices would be outrageously higher.

Fortunately we deal in car keys, and dealerships still give us plenty of breathing room to beat them on parts, service, and lead times.

I like my Pad Thai spicy.

I usually get a 4 out of 5. I was getting a 1.

I once had to leave a negative review at the Thai place I go for lunch pretty regularly, because they got a new hostess and she kept trying to save me from my hubris multiple weeks in a row.

The owners finally had a conversation with her and now I get my Pad Thai at the appropriate spice level. I edited the review to 5 stars afterwords.

The end of february and early march here in the midwest was similarly brutal.

My local ski hill was poised to have a banner March, they had stockpiled an incredible amount of snow after a great year of natural snow. Nearly 2 times the average amount.

But the last week of february and first week of march was blowtorch weather. Rain and overnight lows higher than average highs. Daytime highs nearly 30° above normal.

It ended up closing its regular closing day.

But what killed me most was the regular people talking about how great it was it was 74° (30 above average) in March. Because it was 20° (10 below average) in February. I had to point out 30 above average in August is 112° before they lost thier sense of giddyness. Its going to be 84 on Sunday, which is 2° away from peak average summer temps. This summer is going to kill swathes of people.

This is the thing I keep trying to explain to my fellow americans. Noone seems to grasp, we cannot keep the power, we can’t be trusted with it, and anyone hoping we can go back is priming the world for larger disasters.

Going back doesn’t cure the disease, its suppressing the symptoms. But the remission can’t last, it’ll come back stronger and more deadly.

Trump 2.0 is all the proof you need after we tried to go back with Biden.

I meant single point of failure as in, if the service gets interrupted you’re locked out of alot of shit you need until it comes back up.

The trade offs may be worth it, because overall that seems pretty useful.

Oh, that’s a terrifying single point of failure.

My bank has a website I can use to bank through, I dont even need an app.

3 people in a single incident is hardly enough evidence to indict an entire already heavily discriminated populace, that’s just racism.

I didnt even know germans were interned. But I do think there is relevant context.

120,000 Japanese-Americans were concentrated, 2/3rd of which were citizens. 127,000 lived on the continental US. There were 150,000 living in Hawaii of which only 1,800 were confined.

Meanwhile German-Americans numbered in 12 million, of which 11,500 (described as overwhelmingly German Nationals but cannot find hard numbers) were forcibly detained. I cannot find numbers for family members who voluntairily entered the camps who are also uncounted.

They’re both injustices, but one does seems more egregious than the other. Both in raw numbers and in proportion.

But thanks for that wikipedia dive.

I would resort to violence, Holy shit.
