Which brands do actually care about a healthy customer relationship more than profit?
LEGO comes to mind. Not cheap, but definitely knows how to keep a healthy and active relationship with their customers.

You can't "flood the channels", not if there's someone who controls what you can say and hear. That's the whole point of the dictatorship analogy.

Hashtags are your friend. It also helps if you have some active posters for the tag. I get good content from following #sciencefiction #coffee and #python.

/r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.
This is the type of movement I've been looking forward to. I still visit Reddit but not for Reddit's sake. I go for the high quality subs with tight moderation and good content that are still on Reddit. Once they move out, there's no reason to stay on.

Chromebooks are problematic for profits and planet says exec
Anecdotally, I am writing this comment from a 7-year-old Chromebook. Owing to software updates, it's not as snappy as it used to be (therein lies the irony), but it's still usable up to its Linux container. The battery is dead but I don't want to get rid of it because the screen is still nice and bright and the hardware build is otherwise fine.
I just wish, though, I could boot proper Linux off of it and I could upgrade memory and storage.

Moya from Farscape. Creepy, organic, but strangely lived in. Also very temperamental.

What's the best free version of word?
Google Docs, if a cloud-based service is not out of the question and if you can live within Google's parameters of "free".
LibreOffice, otherwise.

What do you think would happen if there were a type of bear that never killed or seriously injured people, but instead slapped them in the face?
In this day and age they would be TikTok stars.

My wife used fried tofu in this case. The tofu brought the texture while the sauce and the other garnishings carried the flavor.
