Yeah, free tier only lets you have 3 total calendars and there is no color coding available so it’s limited compared to Google which is what I was leaving. But export/import was seamless and it seems a good stepping stone to replace the one-click cloud megacorp offerings. Your stack seems perfect for when I have the time to get Nextcloud going.

I haven’t stepped up to using Nextcloud or my own hosted server, so I’m just using Proton Calendar. The free version is pretty limited though.

Yeah I agree - the Activity tab and the DMs look like they are exact copies of the Teams interface. I mean, it’s an intuitive way to display info but I don’t see much design innovation with this announcement

I think in the near term there will be a lot more discourse about fatphobia/body types as a protected class.

In the longer term, I think history will look back at current factory farming as absolutely barbaric.

If you’re referring to the city in English you would say “bo-LO-nya” to approximate the original. I’ve heard it on the radio/podcasts before. It’s not very commonly referenced so trying to get closer to the original is probably right. Unlike Paris, where you are seen as pretentious if you pronounce it the French way.

Yep, it’s certainly easier to actually get a response that sounds like it came from a human. I’m also seeing so many more links to interesting, niche articles and blogs. Especially on the smaller communities, people are posting substacks and blogs from some pretty alt-culture or radical thinkers. That stuff would definitely be drowned out on Reddit for whatever the top gotcha on Twitter was that day.

Holy hell, waddup!

What is that rule? For every 90 readers there are 9 commentes and 1 contributor?

Yeah it’s kinda unimaginable to me as well but this seems about the same as other union elections I’ve been close to. Still a better turnout than most US government elections. It’s probably good to note that some union-busting tactics are meant to decrease turnout or create fear that there might be negative repercussions for voting at all. This was a factor in the Amazon unionization drives that failed last year.

Yes, this is true for subscribers. There are websites you can find that will show you total subscribers for a community if you are curious.

I’m pretty sure this can’t be true for upvotes though. I regularly see posts that have more upvotes than there are accounts on my local instance.

The only reason I ask is because I’ve noticed the subscriber counts on some communities seem very low vs. the amount of engagement.

This could also happen because a lot of people are browsing All, and not subscribing.

Those numbers seem pretty high, but without comparison to workers in the tech sector as a whole and workers in the US as a whole, it’s pretty useless data. This study does seem to show that these execs are using drugs at a much higher rate (if you trust the OP article methodology) than other information workers, but I don’t think that should suprise anyone, since workplace stress is usual higher for execs. The other difference is that they have a lot more disposable income than most workers to spend on drugs and other coping mechanisms.

lol

Hey, that’s a really cool tool! Thanks for creating and sharing it!

I am now cursed with this knowledge.

Scanning https://browse.feddit.de/, it doesn’t look like there are. I didn’t see anything in a quick search of kbin either. Maybe Mastodon has something like that?

If you say “There’s a hole in my straw” I think it’s always implied you’re talking about an unexpected hole. You can also say “There’s a hole in my sweater/pasta strainer/etc” and people would get you’re talking about a hole that is not supposed to be there. Straws are the same. They have one hole and you’d be unhappy if another appeared.

Have you told him the things you wrote in this post? That might be a good start. You could also suggest a substitute. If it’s some sort of addiction he needs to work on, maybe he could try to donate money to a good cause or even buy a gift for someone who needs it (local charity or something like Savethechildren.org). Might provide that same feeling and not cause you worry.

I also use Startpage and have been happy with it. It uses Google’s search engine as the backend but cuts out the tracking and personalized ads so I feel like it is the best of both worlds.
