How it feels as an iOS user right now
Reply in thread

Sometimes a specialized app is just better. For me that's definitely the case w sync.

How much more "immediate" do you need? A complete stranger is trying to break into your home to do god knows what is the epitome of a clear and immediate danger to me.
What would you have done? Opened the door and welcomed them in?

Does Lemmy strip photo GPS data?
Reply in thread
Exactly. Even if the standard Lemmy software does it, there's no guarantee that your instance admin hasn't altered the code or done something else to keep that data.

That would be great but a site with a password field doesn't support such a system anyway

Serious answer: Disney world. Used to be something a middle class family could save up for.
Now it's like a $10k trip if you actually want to go on any rides

Another Amazon Prime Day scam post. The item on 'sale' was cheaper when I bought it last week.

Exactly. They have all the data in the world, but I'm sure they are doing what's optimal for their profit.

What about the comments though? I don't think hiding duplicates or merging comments will be easy

Serious question, what is the right number of officers for a city that size? 1 officer per 400 people or so doesn't sound very low to me.

The active user chart on that site shows a spike after Twitter was sold and then a 50% decline and a flat line after.

Depends how you are presenting the number. Over 1 per person is ok, but this is 1.1 per woman. So closer to .5 per person.
