It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

It's wild because in a lot of cases the FDA does have jurisdiction over the apps, they just choose not to check them.

If it makes you feel any better, Costco and Walmart also don't work for a lot of Americans in the US who don't like that inefficient way of shopping. You're not alone.

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don't think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He's said he's fine with child pornography (as long as it's consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn't make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It's such a shame that Google killed that ability...

I can only imagine they meant caffeine, another common drug that's heavily abused but a little more socially accepted

Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

I appreciate the law in Massachusetts, USA where jaywalking is so common that the fine was reduced to $1 for the first three times in a year and a whopping $2 for each time after that.

You can't remove the law, but you can make it silly enough that it's never enforced.

That's where I'm at. Discord isn't the issue for me, it's them not using their own platform to communicate major announcements. At that point it's like you've given up on your own platform.

Can we consider this an open and obvious secret? They're DDoSing that instance not because they think it'll take everyone down, but because it'll take down the most number of people with the least amount of effort.

I'm not sure I agree with moving from managed to unmanaged for RDS, unless you're very familiar with databases and keeping them online, RDS (and other managed DB providers) are honestly one of the places I recommend spending more on.

The rest of your points are spot on though.
