No it’s not a good comparison. The bulk food prices themselves are indeed sold on a similar commodity market, but the pricing of packaged goods is marked by companies selling those packaged goods. Oil and gas are sold at the rates bought and sold through futures contracts directly from the producers. You’re paying the rate the traders got it for, usually with a regulated mark up. If you’re buying from a private utility then you’re on your own buddy.

It’s not bad though. Zoom is great. Apparently their leadership sucks, but as a product its always done what I needed it to do without issue.

No, but it’s going to take a pretty good ding to eat that Evergrande turd.

This is a thing that isn’t happening, at least not among Gen Z. What a bullshit article.

This happened in April…

Taking concern for someone’s well being when it is quite clearly not in a good place has very little to do with the accusations being levied. I hope the right people are at least aware of that and are reaching out to her. I said in my reply the accusations need to be explored.

If you read that full thread it sounds like someone who was let go from a place I worked years ago and just rings of serious mental health concerns. Slicing open your leg so you go to the ER to avoid going to work is not a sign that someone is of sound mind. All accusations need to be taken seriously and explored regardless given their severity, but I also seriously hope she can get help.

“The Ukraine” all you had to say for us to know you’re a Russian shill. Be gone sir!

It’s not going to be offline forever. It’ll reorient in a couple months. It was designed to do this when comms are lost. Still a little scary though.

Why would this be a bad thing? Doubt it happens at any scale but this seems like a perfectly viable way to cool data centers compared to how energy intensive they are today.

Can’t wait fot Nintendo’s next console that will be severely under powered and basically obsolete as soon as it is released. Used to love them but they have become so toxic and tone deaf.

What is with the China apologists in this thread? Wtf??

I’m with you. If we keep migrating to something else we’ll never actually settle to create a real community. I’m sticking with Mastadon. It’s grown into something pretty stable and decent at this point.

Lemmy/Kbin really don’t function in a way that make megathreads work though. This won’t work here and we can’t be thinking about trying to adopt Reddit behaviors in a platform that works very differently. Unlike Reddit, there isn’t a singular community around Technology. There are dozens that we can all see built across every instance. I had to scroll just to see I was looking at the Beehaw one.

I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an “everything” site where he’s looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don’t know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that’s something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.

Why are you even there still? Mastadon has been a solid alternative for me for a while now.

Whoa.

At least they can sell it to pay for some of the damages. King Alaskan Salmon ain’t cheap.

I’d prefer not to leave Apple with pretty much no competition in mobile OS if Android were to fail, unless we’re just referring to Google the search engine, and not the parent company Alphabet.
