Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.

Uhh it’s not like the UK is actually any better in this situation if it’s true that they are sending random migrants to Rwanda

And then 34 tomorrow. Lol, lmao.

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

Your comment is doing the same (and so is mine).

Why complain, just scroll past?

So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).

The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?

If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?

If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it’s not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.

Joining another instance as a user doesn’t solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself

Your insurance benefit offered after health milestones isn’t 30-130% of your salary though

Running 30km (18.6 miles) in a month earns a bonus equivalent to 30% of their monthly salary. Moving up to 40km (24.8 miles) pushes that to 40%. Hitting 50km (31 miles) earns 100%, and the top tier of 100km (62 miles) is 130%

objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy

Please elaborate how email would be objectively more secure if you could block Gmail.

You can already block Gmail today from any other provider by putting a filter on incoming @gmail addresses. How does that make email more secure?

This thread isn’t about kbin though. We don’t need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.

Fortifying foods is very important in Africa and lots of ongoing research and rollouts are happening there. Neat to see China doing it as well successfully, but they are not the only nation trying to solve nutrition and hunger

Agreed about corn fortification coming from China specifically being interesting.

I went and didn’t see what you meant. Most every comment agrees with the video.

It’s funny, you are us vs theming. You are doing what the video talked about by making sweeping generalizations about a specific community based on your perception of their surrounding culture (reddit).

But this is true for literally anything that requires email verification to login with?

I think msft is scummy here but let’s not pretend it’s unusual that a company isn’t going to help you if you can’t access your email to verify your ownership.

If I lose access to my Gmail account and am unable to login to Amazon bc of that Amazon ain’t going to help me.

Doesn’t work when homeschooling is on an intense rise over the last two decades (in the US as example) https://www.nheri.org/big-growth-in-homeschooling-indicated-this-school-year/

where the share of people in working age will go down significantly

That’s happening in most developed nations, btw.

Stop reading the news and spend some time in your local community. It’s the best way I’ve found to shake that feeling of dread and exhaustion

Taking the blame for capitalists, huh. We didn’t export shit, it was the greedy companies chasing profit.
