This is true, but it’s not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It’s the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.

I’ve known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.

Thanks for the link to Tagger, I’ve been looking for something like that. Looks like I have some library cleanup to do, I’ve been putting it off for years now lmao

My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn’t turn the lights off ever again, there’s literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.

Yay for having a mild headache every single day!

I disagree honestly, the context made it very clear what was meant here, and was a proper use of the word imo.

I believe discrete is the word you’re looking for there, though discreet is really funny in this context.

Ughhhhhh, just logging in in the morning and seeing the tab header go to ‘Inbox (27)’ is awful.

+1 for airvpn. I’ve never had any issues, port forwarding works flawlessly, and you can get some incredible deals if you buy 3 years at a time during a sale.

That’s fucking awesome.

I use Kagi too - they have a feature I haven’t seen before where you can basically optimize your own SEO. You can uprank or downrank any given website to varying degrees based on how much of that site you want to see in your future search results (I use this a lot for game wikis that have since migrated off of Fandom etc, but the stale Fandom page always shows up first in google search).

They’re also working on a feature to warn you which articles are paywalled directly from the search result, which I will use the hell out of.

They also have something they call Lenses, which are essentially search profiles that emphasize certain types of results (programming lens upranks stackoverflow, github, and API docs for instance).

All in all I’ve been extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the directions they’re exploring in. And being able to easily chat up the devs in discord doesn’t hurt either.

Since becoming an adult it has become increasingly obvious to me that early high-school level stuff is impossibly complex for a significant chunk of the population.

+1 for MAM, both their community and collection is excellent.

Yooo, real life cyberpsychosis just dropped

I’m fond of wassail. It’s usually made with cinnamon, but you could exclude it and it should turn out alright.

Good to know this isn’t just me, I updated and reinstalled without resorting to forums, and it solved the issue for me too.

Good n’ you?

I wish the current list view didn’t lead people to unknowingly necro years-old threads lol

I had this problem too, when my account was on lemmy.ml. I recreated my account on my now-home instance, and everything has been so fast that I’m realizing how slow even old reddit has become. Lemmy caches your feed’s posts on your home instance, so it’s faster even for posts made on overloaded servers (though new comments coming in might be intermittent in that specific case).
