I think you meant revenue and not profit. I believe that they are still operating at a loss of several hundred million dollars with a shrinking user base.

Roughly 3 months to go in this game of hot potato before Trump can sell his shares without special permission from the board.

"Am I going to fight this case until I die? Yeah,” Giuliani said. “I’d rather die poor with my principles than cave in to a destruction of my country that I love so much.”

Da fuq is he talking about?

My favorite thing about the internet is hearing questions that I would never think to ask and seeing answers like this.

Thank you for helping to make the internet a bit more interesting.

Isn’t Reagan suspected of a similar prioritizing political points over the safety of US citizens?

The young man sporting the white mask and a white hoodie in widely shared video clips is Edan On, a local 18-year-old high school senior, his mother confirmed to CNN, though she later said he denies being at UCLA.

His mother must be so proud 🙄

“Edan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!” his mother boasted in Hebrew on Facebook, referencing Hamas. She circled an image of him that had been broadcast on the local news.

Oh, I guess that she is.

• he’s adamant that I don’t visit him
• He’s saying that we probably won’t see each other again for at least a year
• We had made plans to move closer to each other, but he recently decided to move in with a friend instead

These are all huge red flags. My guess, from these alone, is that he has moved on (or is ready to), but doesn’t have the courage to tell you directly and is hoping you will either do the breaking up for him or you will just drift away.

Did ProPublica just provide free advertisement for a gun shop that is lax in following gun sale laws, potentially steering a whole new group of people with questionable motivations to shop there?

Doxxing sure is neat.

Folk is pretentious? It literally means common people, the opposite of pretentiousness. I am thinking that you don’t have much familiarity with the word nor the people that use it. It does not carry the meaning that you seem to think it does.

You are likely hearing /seeing it being used by people raised in an area where that is common vernacular to casually identify a group of people that share a culture.

Does anybody know where they getting the numbers for this claim? I see that they cited “Associated Press and other sources” for the US protest arrest numbers, but no source for Hong Kong protest arrests numbers.

I would like to find some corroboration for this claim and all I can find for Hong Kong is a count of deaths, injuries, arrests, and charges once public protests had effectively ceased.

When asked about whether he would continue the Trump case if elected, Smith said, “We all heard the call, we all saw what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, but you have to do things differently. When you pay one attorney nearly a million dollars to handle one case, that leaves the rest of us vulnerable. That hurts everyone else in Fulton County.”

What the hell does that even mean? Guy can’t even answer a simple question when he doesn’t have an opponent to call him on his bullshit.

Edit: Also, who is doing the criticizing? Article fails to mention anybody, other than Smith, who has anything to say about Willis skipping this “debate”.

For others with so many questions about the why of this case…

This ruling allows the independent contractors that deliver goods for a large bakery (Flowers Foods) to be exempt from arbitration requirements under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and instead take their pay dispute to court.

Darn it. That is disappointing.

It then ruled that the First Amendment does not apply “where a defendant creates unreasonably dangerous conditions, and where his creation of those conditions causes a plaintiff to sustain injuries.”

Did they just make it easier for Trump to be held accountable for Jan 6?

I get that it started 60 years ago with white flight and was exasperated 40 years ago with the consolidation of major changes, but why has their been no progress in correcting this? Why are zoning laws not being updated? Why do grocery store chains think inner cities are riskier? Why are new stores, like the referenced Whole Foods, not lasting? Why the focus on supermarkets instead of smaller neighborhood grocery stores that don’t have the same logistic issues?

Those questions are not directed at you. They are more a representation my disappointment and disillusionment. Thank you for the reply.

I guess that I was hoping that there would be more current information and not just an article about how nobody cares so nothing has been done in more than half a century.

Can somebody help me out? The title of the article suggests it will provide insight into the cause of large grocery retailers avoiding certain communities but all I am seeing is talk about the what and nothing about the why. Did I miss it or did I just fall for clickbait?

Several hours? Those people are parked and charging their car while they are doing something else. It takes about 15 minutes to get 200 miles of range at a Tesla charging station. People sitting in their cars, waiting will be there for far shorter periods of time.

A vast majority of charging also takes place at the drivers destination (such as the drivers home), saving on the time it takes to go to a gas station to refuel (not to mention the time saved from not needing oil changes, smog checks, etc).

As for what to do while waiting, I’ll either use the time to grab snack, go to the bathroom, or watch something on on of the streaming services available from the console.

Yes, but they would be separate accounts (comments, subscribed y communities, messages, etc). I have an account on lemm.ee and lemmy.world which I actively use. It can get a bit annoying making sure that I stay subscribed to the same communities on both, but it’s also nice to get different feeds.

Another option would be to stand up your own closed instance, so your account is the only one. That way storage and bandwidth should be minimal enough that you can host at home and also have full control over settings on your instance.

Not lost, but inactive / isolated. As I understand it, when a user on insurance A subscribes to a community, votes, or comments on a community on instance B, that content is copied to insurance A and the two instances will sync their changes together. If instance B shuts down or the two instances defederate, then the content on instance A stays intact, but it no longer syncs with the source of truth.

Is each instance like another person with a server?

Yeah. I would assume that most, if not all, open instances are going through a 3rd party hosting service, but nothing stopping them from being hosted on hardware in somebodies home.

Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Yup. Anytime and for any reason. It might cause a moment of disruption, but the beauty of federation is that you can always setup an account on a new instance or create your own.

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Yes. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Facebook federating their Threads services. I’m sure that there are others.
