What does this mean?

I think that’s somewhat common and natural, but also unnecessary and uncalled for.

Let the other party decide for themselves whether they’re fine helping and to what degree. From your side, take the help you can get.

I don’t think we should let vendors get away with this stuff.

Yes returning it is a huge hassle. But if you’re not returning it you still bought their product, supported them financially and that product line. Even if they see you not activating cloud features in numbers, others do and they can make very favorable calculations.

The single most effective way to not let them get away with it is returning it. As an unacceptable product.

Thank you for making them just to show them in a picture here

Content curation.

I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.

I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.

I mainly use three Lemmy accounts. I signed up for… maybe 8 Lemmy, maybe 12 Fediverse things?

Dubious and disagree downvotes. But that’s always been here already. That became pretty clear to me pretty fast.

I’m a bit skeptical about this argument because autocratic states love to hold practically fake and forced elections with 90 or 99 % approval and use that as justification.

I’m not sure even with a successful election and it going to the democrats we’ll be able to tell. At least from today’s view. It will largely depend on how institutions and the justice/court system can hold out against the current administration right now and during this phase.

I feel like they may have already created damage that won’t be cleared just from one election or one election period’s fixups.

At the same time, hopefully, this is the wake-up call for opposition and a transformation one way or another. It’s plainly obvious what is happening now, and I am hoping opposition will become more apparent and prevalent because of it. Not just in citizens, but institutions too.

What does PSL stand for?

I hate the oops part. When you get an error message and it’s not even professional or technical but flimsy, I lose all respect.

At my job an Oops design was suggested. I’m glad I was able to convince us to implement it differently, without that shit tone and unprofessionalism.
