That makes a lot of sense -- when I'm buying something online I like the excitement of not knowing whether a product will cost 20 or 20,000 "dollars" based on how the scam market is doing that day lol

Agreed, the top suggestion here is a community I've been subscribed to from day 1 and it's always felt dead. Lemmy is good for specific tech niches but outside of that it feels like the same generic meme stream that /r/all is. Also a red flag that nearly all of the communities listed here are attempts to recreate a reddit niche 1:1 which obviously was never going to work as long as the main reddit version is still around
Unfortunately I don't think recommending dead communities with 9 MAUs and 1 post/month is the solution to building up Lemmy's userbase but I respect the attempt

Agreed, regardless of what this is there's a 100% chance that it's a profit scheme and has nothing to do with building anything practical for anyone

idk about OP but I use chrome because in Firefox I have to manually download my web history and send it to Google so they can log it for my security, Chrome streamlines this process and ensures Google has my data even if I mistakenly wonder onto a website they don't have trackers on

It's worth noting that also according to that article women attempt suicide 1.3x as often as men -- but men are more likely to use guns so they end up dying more. It seems to me guns are a core part of the issue

I don't think they're saying that method would yield 100% clean data but it would give you all the "necessary" data with the absolute bare minimum storage requirement. At some point people will log into their email and for most people if you have their email password you have the password they use for everything

I'm not a power user but it's way better than Plex imo. The personal media management features are on par with plex without all the bullshit ads / FAST services being shoved down your throat. To me it feels like Plex got too popular and the owners realized that a) they could make a shitload of money off of their existing userbase and b) the more they gear the app around FAST crap the more they can act like it's used for legitimate reasons and not just piracy

It was a vertical drop ride at the nearby Icon Park and the investigstion found that the harness had been improperly modified by the park at some point to theoretically accommodate large people in such a way that if a big enough person sat there it would fail to lock without any alert or warning; the scary thing is that it was probably like that for a long time. One thing the major Orlando parks have going for them is extremely tight safety standards, these side parks always seem like low budget attempts to prey on people who can't afford Disney lol

Agreed, sneaking crap like this in contracts should be grounds for nullifying them since it shows the companies don't have the expectation that people who click the accept button have read through 20 pages of deliberately obtuse legal junk (never mind actually understanding it enough to make an informed decision to agree to it).
That's not even mentioning the shitty condescending attitude of "lol look at this wacky stuff we do....but we're reserving the right to financially destroy you based on the terms hidden in this document alone"

The problem is that without an effective way to ID bot content then stats like this could be covering up the real trends in human users, particularly in any stat that purports to measure all lemmy instances since we already know there are instances out there filled with thousands of bot users

I'm sure they've been spending the last week thinking of a way to recap this without showing the full thing, such as just focusing on specific sections instead of showing a time-lapse of the the entire canvas. Similarly I'd be surprised if they released the pixel placement data set this time without major edits
Saw this today and thought it was decent -- there were a lot of laughs and it avoided potentially questionable moments brought on by the premise with strong writing. The character moments feel authentic to towns with "seasonal" residents and by the end of the movie everyone comes off as nuanced with no outright antagonists Unreferenced in the movie is the fact that that Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti have an age difference of 18 years whereas Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman are only 12 years apart but I'm not holding that against it lol
