I get the sense that these things are kind of like traveling carnivals now. A company rolls in, unboxes their stuff, runs through preprogrammed stuff, then moves to the next event. It’s becoming pretty cheap and portable now.

A shocking amount of cities in my area had them this year. I had no idea it had become this easy and accessible now.

Ukraine, yay.

Saudi Arabia, boo.

Drone shows.

They’re pretty rad and are starting to become very common in high risk fire zones.

Tracks for a Lemmy.ml account. That instance is like the reduced fat version of lemmygrad.ml.

We’ll know when we’re all homeless and bathing in said river.

Make a UX or Project management tool with “Java” in the name so newbie recruiters look for people in the wrong department.

They already do this, but this would make them do it even more.

Apple pulled out of the country after the invasion of Ukraine, but they left the AppStore up for people with existing hardware. Since they have a walled garden, if they kill the AppStore, they would also be killing access to things that Russian dissenters and refugees would need access to.

Thing is, if they kill the App Store entirely, they also fuck over Russians that already have iPhones and are fleeing the country, and or dissenting the government.

Looks like they’re trying to leave as much of the App Store as available as possible. That said, at some point the government censorship will become so bad that they might need to pull the plug entirely.

And that said, if they allowed proper side loading, this wouldn’t be an issue. They could just peace out entirely.

The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.

If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.

TL;DR: they stopped selling hardware in Russia, but people still find a way to import it.

It also looks like they are still maintaining Russia’s region in the AppStore.

Camera bumps are getting so silly now.

YO!

When the lasagna music kicks in

[Bolivia] has seen about 190 coups, as well as military dictatorships and revolutions, since it gained independence in 1825.

Jesus Christ. That country fucking loves coups.

Also, that boat was full of rich folks and their belongings. There’s always going to be people who want to recover items from a boat littered with gold, jewelry, etc.

Maybe, but where they repeatedly covered in the press for being insanely shinny and expensive, and were they full of the world’s upper crust when they failed?

The titanic was the titan submersible on steroids.

IMHO, that Eastland article’s last paragraph explains why people know about the Titanic. It was a bit glitzy boat full of important and influential rich folks. One of the world’s richest men died on that boat.

The Eastland was just a bunch of normal Joes. And just like today, the rich got much more attention.

What if it’s just a 20oz cup of deli mustard from the condiment bar?

Problem is, the lower information voters don’t know that Trump is lying, and Biden couldn’t point that out in a clear and concise way. He was soft and rambling and wasn’t campaigning competently on that stage.

He needed to make the case against Trump. Which isn’t hard.
