That’s sad to hear.

What about the irreparable harm caused by outlandish fees, or will they be forced to pay those back?

Oh ok :(

As it is now, only people who read about it or live there and try to find the song will ever even know about the block. If Google refused and was kicked out of Hong Kong, just about every single citizen would notice and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom. I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

You need to make sure to remove excess whitespace from the JSON to speed up parsing. Have an AI read the JSON as plaintext and convert it to a handwriting-style image, then another one to use OCR to convert it back to text. Trailing whitespace will be removed.

Inert gas hypoxia is painless if done right. This is Alabama though, so I wouldn’t trust them to even use the right kind of gas, much less administer it correctly.

My concern is that this race to the bottom is so that they can intentionally become unsustainable due to ad blockers. From there, they may be able to get Congress to ban ad blocking altogether.

I’m not a huge fan of Maven either. I guess I’m just spoiled by Cargo.

with all the suck taken out.

You still need Gradle, so not all the suck.

It’s not even just the technical barriers. Lemmy has technical barriers and still works fine. Matrix is soooooo fucking SSSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. A simple chat program that takes longer to load a channel than it takes for my aging PC to boot an AAA game is simply unusable. This is 2024, not 1994.

I wonder if that could be because your Google results are personalized.

I understand all of that. The way it is now, compound interest only serves to deepen the pit many people find themselves in financially. The system doesn’t work, so just because it can be beneficial to a few people sometimes doesn’t mean it’s worth keeping around.

Aren’t they just an alt frontend for Google? Maybe you’re having issues with the UI. Most of the results should be the same.

I’m probably younger than you and I voted green party in 2020, but sure, whatever makes you feel better about liking mass murder.

I came across a highly upvoted comment on Lemmy saying that they wished someone would engineer a virus to fucking murder everyone with right-wing fundamentalist views. Now, I don’t like right-wingers and think they need to fuck off, but calling for the presumably extremely slow and painful (as viruses tend to be) deaths of so many millions of people is pretty fucked up and I got heavily downvoted for pointing that out.

Yeah, this place is even more toxic than Reddit. There was a period when it was new that it seemed like everyone was a lot nicer and more positive, but that has ended.

Compound interest is a ridiculous idea. When you get a loan, you should only owe a flat % on top of the loan amount. This % should be negotiated ahead of time based on the repayment schedule.

It’s a little embeddable mini-app that you can put on the home screen of your phone along with your app icons. For example, you might display the current weather on your home screen using a widget.

You mean the politicians and those who knowingly support them. Killing every fundie means killing a lot of religious people who don’t pay attention to politics and vote R because their parents vote R and their grandparents vote R. It also includes the people who don’t even fucking vote! You people are psychopaths.

So you think the punishment for being even remotely associated with the politicians doing that should carry the punishment of a slow and painful death? A lot of fundies don’t even fucking vote. I think we need protections against their craziness enshrined in law and anyone directly interfering with someone else’s autonomy should be arrested, but mass murder is fucking insane and you know it.

Isn’t advocating for genocide a bit much?

Edit: apparently not. That’s really disappointing.
