@ramble81@lemm.ee I don’t understand how this is profitable. We were shopping for a kitchen light fixture. Found the same light at several stores. Ordered it from one that claimed to be in Italy. Item shipped from China. I understand A/B testing and having multiple storefront you treat live burner phones when you get a reputation/review issue, but these sites were all using the same retargetting to place ads in my socials for weeks after the light was installed. Normally I add users to a list NOT to retarget after conversion. The other stores carrying the same product kept advertising something I had already purchased.

@Thomas2024@feddit.org how do you do, fellow humans?
We are taught as Muslims, that we must do whatever we can when we see an evil.
It is funny (sad, not haha) that christians and jews claim to be taught the same thing.

I had the same issue with my 3. Took advantage of one of the offers Samsung had to trade in even with a cracked screen. They gave me $600 towards a Fold 5. I bought my 3 used for $800, so I was only out ~$400 to go from a 3 with a broken internal screen to a new 5. Still very happy with the 5, but I get why you wouldn’t trust Samsung again.

I had a Galaxy Fold 5. I had a Fold 3 before this. I bought the 3 used for $800 to try out the form factor. The screen on the 3 split, but Samsung still gave me $600 in credit towards a Fold 5. No hardware issues with the 5. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a smaller phone because of the work related tasks I can do with the additional screen real estate.
For me the killer app is being able to review VRT failures. Before the Fold, I had to have a tablet or my laptop handy to avoid potential delays. Now I can review a VRT failure anywhere. This has allowed to spend more time with my kids. Worth every penny.

So phtn.app and vger.app are things you’ve said out loud to another human are they? And how did that go?
11·2 months ago@01011@monero.town So if I’ve illegally downloaded every paper and book published by Matthew Sag, Zahr K. Said, Jessica Silbey and Rebecca Tushnet and used that content to create an app that would output legal briefs in their voice saying whatever someone was willing to pay me to make it say, that is now legal? Or would that not qualify as “transformative” as shilling for $$$ is what lawyers have been doing for centuries?

While CO put Lauren Boebert on the world stage, we are generally down to ignore federal authority. Rember when marijuana was illegal? Unfortunately that would require getting Montana, Idaho and/or Nevada on board. Seems unlikely.
7·2 months ago@MemmingenFan923@feddit.org can confirm. My son bought a set that was missing on of the bags. Filled out a form and uploaded a picture of the box + what he had built so far and the remaining bags. 48 hours later, we had the missing bag and he was back to building.
So many other brands wouldn’t even respond to something like that. You’d have to take it back to where you bought it for a refund, buy another set and start the build again.
Lego customer service understands that their product is more than colored plastic.
@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee isn’t part of the point of ActivityPub to avoid vendor lockin/single point of billionaire enshittification? I read and interact with a fair amount of Lemmy content through an Mbin instance.
You can already limit Google using site:[DOMAIN].
If every ActivityPub driven service used a common TLD like .edus, you’d be able to limit results to that facet of Google’s index, they don’t. If they did, we’d be back to a single point of failure.
Google supports limiting searches to content using a Creative Commons license based on the licensing metadata in the URL. ActivityPub content already has the metadata, but it took a decade to generate enough content before Google offered the option to filter searches by CC-BY-SA… and Google was a VERY different company back then.
30·2 months ago@Yazer@lemmy.ca there is also the 50501 group organizing protests in all 50 states April 5.
As others have commented, there haven’t been protests this large and often in the US since the Vietnam War. Organizing this takes time. Organizing without using billionaire owned services with questionable privacy policies takes even longer… but it is happening.
@Yazer@lemmy.ca my kids didn’t have school yesterday because their teachers were protesting.
@SPRUNT@lemmy.world the recent college athlete image likeness settlement couldn’t happen at a worse time for public schools who have to disclose these payments. Can you imagine having a PhD and teaching physics for 1/4 of what a school is paying a teenage who catches balls well?

@Confidant6198@lemmy.ml I thought we were finally making progress with Rank Choice Voting starting to gain traction, but agree… there may not be enough left to salvage after this unless the MAGA movement collapses before the midterms… assuming we still are have elections and people other than white land owners can vote. Still not entirely sure how far back Trump supporters need to go for the “again” point when America was great.
MAGA are NOT the majority of Americans, but sadly they only slightly exceed the Americans who don’t vote at all. While not the government many Americans wanted, when “I’m not into politics” stopped resulting in an immediate response of “so you aren’t American?”, we ended up with the government we deserve.
@Mee@reddthat.com Is the tradition the Animal House experience while in school and then graduating to multiple job offers that pay well enough that your income alone was enough to buy a house and raise a family. Because if that’s the tradition they are looking to continue, I’ve got some bad news.
Online education should make education more affordable. Instead, most organizations charged only slightly less than in-person credits.
6·3 months ago@juergen@feddit.org Are you a Tesla owner who only charges at Telsa charging stations? Tesla doesn’t even own the majority of charging stations in the US. They only recently started allowing non-Teslas to use their chargers. Where did you think all the other EVs were charging?
Tesla will be taken over by PE who will sell off the charging network. Once rebranded as ChargePoint or Electrify America, they will will no lobger be targeted by vandalism and arson. The cost of removing the toxic Tesla brand isn’t trivial, but the locations and infrastructure have value. They won’t just be turned off when there is profit to made.

@juergen@feddit.org “Fuck Elon” is becoming the punch buggy of this generation.
Combine a toxic brand with a level of ridiculously poor Quality Control we haven’t seen from a US automaker since the Saturn brand, and you get a price point/distressd asset that PE will be looking at. They’ve already calculated the value of selling Tesla for parts and just waiting for the stock to hit a number to act. Elon is so over leveraged, there will be nothing he can do to stop it.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml @Xanza@lemm.ee there ARE city owned fiber and wireless networks. The dark fiber bought up in the early 2Ks to form the existing Internet2 that connects Research 1 universities and many other non-commercial entities is also real.
You CAN in fact communicate using open standards like DNS, SMTP or even ActivityPub between some points without using a service or network owned by a billionaire. What you CANNOT do is communicate without hardware made by billionaires. Even if you did manage to create a compute device using open hardware to create and consume the communication, traffic over that fiber is being routed with some very expensive, very proprietary hardware.
My point is that it IS possible and there have been a few people who are not only NOT lazy, but visionary thinkers motivated by more that greed building protocols, tools and networks.
DNS, TCP/IP and HTTP were all designed to function if large parts of the network were no longer available. They were more concerned with nuclear war at the time, but the design works just as well to route around walled gardens.
I agree that most people are too lazy to care… let alone take any action to change the status quo, but here we are discussing this through MBin/Lemmy./ActivityPub.
@Deceptichum@quokk.au we’ve moved/added to TinkerCAD and 3D printing.
