I agree with the “Use FOSS” part, but I can’t help but notice a double standard thats often taken when these kinds of stories pop up. How come whenever a Chinese compant does something like this, China is always at fault? Why is it never America’s fault when something like this happens with an American company or product?

I think the Federal Reserve raising interest rates has more to do with it. Now that the VC’s that fund everything are getting the money faucet turned off, it’s having downstream effects on all these tech companies.

It comes from a subreddit called r/195. Basically, r/195 was a social experiment where the only rule was that everytime you visited you had to post something. Towards the end of r/195, people began to titlle their posts “rule” because they didn’t have anything creative to say in the titles for their shitposts, but it wasn’t until r/196 when you started to see most of the posts being titled some variation of “rule”.

I still haven’t decided if I think this is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, I love this community, but on the other, I think part of what makes it so great is that it is, or was, a community you had to go out of your way to understand and interact with. Now that we’re on Lemmy, a larger portion of the userbase for 196 is divorced from the actual culture that makes it what it is.

Nope :)

How’s the grill on top handling heat? Mine cracked in several spots after just a week or two of use.

Yeah, I can’t find anything about Hamish Harding (the guy the last post is talking about) defending the British Empire. The link in that post just leads to his Wikipedia and doesn’t say anything of the sort.

Do you mind explaining what boosting is for us on Lemmy?

Would a highway full of this many bats be louder than a highway full of cars?

Anybody know what the original said?
