Lack of access only reduced consumption among those who lost access. For those who were consuming bootleg their consumption increased. Often to harder liqours for obvious reasons.

8·4 days agoAlso it doesn’t really matter how big your economy is, it’s like a first mover incentive. So small countries who were relying on aid via USAID and various other soft power schemes that DOGE cut have a huge incentive now to be the first to create the tools and markets.
I want to know the origin… Did someone get sick of others stealing their lighter lol?

97·12 days agoI am honestly not sure if that’s a bad thing aside from the capitalism of it all. Almost all tasks normal people do could be done with a 10 year old computer running Linux.
I will find it hilarious if this RAM pricing issue causes people to move to Linux rather than have slow ass Windows 11.

5·13 days agoI am wondering if a super soaker with very salty water would work. It should heavily obscure the lens when dried and if someone doesn’t clean it properly it will scratch it to hell.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anti-Palestinian Billionaires Can Now Control What TikTok Users SeeEnglish
2·14 days agoSame, but it’s just because I don’t comment or post as I don’t speak Mandarin, so the majority of the people wouldn’t even know what I am saying. What’s the point you know?
I have found a bunch of really cool recipes, man they love their eggs…

14·14 days agoNo, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder?
6·15 days agoI think OPs post could bridge most of the gap… Lol.
What is this breaking bad? Stuff doesn’t blow up when you make drugs unless something went very, very wrong and then you lose all your investment.

42·19 days agoWhat is it useful for? I actually have a hard time finding a use for it… Its alright at book recommendations, sometimes.
Are you using it for streaming various video services? If not, get a Steam Machine. Playstation pricing is severely expensive, and their selection is limited. There are so many cool things I see on Steam that I wish were on PS5 for ease of use.
Sure, but I would rather watch sports where everyone has disadvantages. Like a football team and each literal handicap adds to like a numerical handicap.
So the some of the best football teams will have quarterbacks with one arm, kickers with one legg and running backs with a half of an arm.
Imagine the betting… What are the odds that the mentally handicapped coach will have the one legged kicker go for a field goal at the 38 yard line?
Why Playstation?
Problem, seems like a solution to me.

1·20 days agoI thought the main character was a chick, but I could be forgetting.
I actually appreciated that they put in the “intranasal” because it would have made way more sense without it.








Other countries hopefully now understand how important it is to escape US tech reliance.
