Kind of a deeper honor.
The 2007 acquisition of Doubleclick is the watershed moment that converted Google from a competitor into a monopoly of the Internet ecosystem.
I’d rather switch my phone to Kelvin. 0-100F perfectly captures the human experience of temperature.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How the audiences of news sources differ in their levels of education
8·2 months agoI’m surprised PBS and NPR have such a disparity in their audience. PBS is close to average which is good and makes sense as a public service.
Why does NPR skew so much higher towards college grads?

Car theft laws merely protect the established players in the industry. If it was legal everybody and their uncle would be doing it, diluting the margins.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Your ring camera is being used to abduct your neighbors
8·3 months agoRing has been a subsidiary of Amazon for years now. They comply with warrants, and ‘emergency requests’ from law enforcement in some cases.
Installing one of these things and sending 24/7 video and audio data of activity on your property and anything else in the camera view has always been a wet dream for people obsessed with perfect information and surveillance.
The previous resident left one next to the front door of our place and it seems to work great without power or data. Never had a problem.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Yeah, I should probably donate again or something
23·3 months agoMy concern would be losing market share to other sources resulting in Wikipedia slowly being forgotten by future generations. Then the downstream of effects of fewer new contributions, and increasingly consolidated moderators.
Then not being at the forefront of the Internet hurts prestige that reduces donations. I agree with your point on ad revenue vs server costs, but I imagine a 20% reduction in traffic hurts their long strategy more than a 20% reduction on hosting costs.






My bad haha.
