No it doesn’t matter that much. Unless you are seeing too many posts of stuff you don’t like (e.g. US politics, tech news) and not enough of what you want to see (e.g. science, local content from a more regional instance, anarchist stuff, etc.), or you have a beef with how moderation is done on your local communities, then you should move to an instance more tailored to your needs.

IMAP and/or Authenticator skips step 8 to 14.

And a mix of available copies/qualities are better.

Okay.

I would not like someone that treats everything like a test flight program to run the FAA, or in fact run anything that’s not a test flight program.

Edited to include more info, thank you for pointing it out. I’d known in my head the share price started in lower double digits without major changes in supply of shares, added it all for context.

Welcome welcome! The few bots that try to spam have been found out and disconnected relatively quickly (there have been a number of Fediverse-wide intentional efforts to spam that were dealt with).

The comment quality tends to be higher on average and braindead meme chains that bots can copy for karma farming are far less common.

That said, the Lemmy experience is yours to craft. Subscribe and block as needed, don’t feed the trolls, don’t sweat getting a few downvoted comments here and there, report bad behaviour and have fun.

How the heck were they ever valued at $US200 per share?

Edit: (from ~$34. Market cap 6.4B initially, at $200US I estimate as ~36B, here shows a high of $38B)

Ever heard of Leamington, ON or Delta BC? Those cities make lots of tomatoes.

Let me just find millions in venture capital money behind the couch cushions, brb.

Not there aren’t any good points, but overall the lacking factuality of the post and the wonky formatting makes me suspect whether some or all the post text was copied from an LLM answer.

Does it really matter to people that your karma total is the same when viewed from different instances?

Lemmy can be made better, yes, but the essential thing is that people need to give up a level of convenience to relinquish control from the entrenched kings (“landed gentry”).

Wait why is my trade income decreasing?

They will quickly move to the Austrian artist’s plan.

During an address to lawmakers at the state capitol in Tallahassee, the governor briefly mentioned Florida’s tourist numbers from 2024, boasting 142 million visitors, 3.3 million of whom hailed from Canada, he noted.

Maybe Florida will still get visits from its Southern neighbours, Texas and the Northeast, but most would be out for merely a weekend trip usually. Those millions from Canada are the ones willing to buy property, spend the big bucks over a whole season on tourism, and make your sorry state a less miserable and DeSantis-like place to live.

One can wish for the best for Mexico while being aware of its history and issues it continues to face. But the fact that Mexican residents appear to be trusting President Sheinbaum to take real action to solve them, and as a person and leader she seems very capable of doing that to the extent of her governmental authority.

I do think Lopez Obrador and Sheinbaum’s policy of frequent mañaneras and answering reporters is great for governmental transparency, even if it will be characterized as daily propaganda.

If you want to read the story of someone’s experience trying to block all the big tech companies from their life back in 2019. Their first week was trying to block Amazon.

Edit: A big challenge would be if you wanted to avoid connecting to sites that run off of or have content served by AmazonWebServices. To do that for example, you’d have to click these archive links for Gizmodo instead of the direct links I did above.

Shhh! Don’t spoil Trump’s War On Christmas plan to drone strike Santa Claus!

Very promising statements from Carney.

So far, oil companies have “won” themselves a 10% trump tax on their inputs.

I mean Trump backed down from Mexico upon the mere threat of retaliation to come on Sunday. Sheinbaum is stronger than Trump the felonious con artist could ever be.

It’s far from over, because it appears to me that Canadian and Mexican governments are both aiming for a more permanent resolution. I think they should stay closely co-ordinated. In the meantime…

¡Que Viva La Presidenta! ¡Que Viva México!

Snowbirds selling their properties and refusing to visit there will take their flags back with them. Florida’s tourism industry is really going to be missing the Canadians next winter no matter where the tariffs go.

For beer: Smaller local microbreweries and vintners are worried they might get pushed out on sales and shelf space to more famous brands and producing areas, e.g. Okanagan, Montréal, Niagara, Vancouver, Toronto taking over Winnipeg, Quebec City, Halifax, St. John’s, etc.

Other things, some things provinces are worried about competition, from places with lower tax or looser unionization rules.

Some were just that each province was asked to legislate each thing independently, so they never really consulted each other and came up with different solutions for the same aim. Ex. Hours of Service rules, car safety, professional licensing.

Some are worried about language laws (particularly French and official Indigenous languages in soms provinces).
