Depends on what. The most common thing i see is that the kids mess with either the keyboard and or the screen, which you’re basically forced to scavenge another broken Chromebook for because the replacement parts are pretty much like half the cost of the chromebook

If it’s something simple then yea I agree, but kids are menaces against their chromebook so damage usually ends up being on the extreme side.

Chromebooks sound good in theory but fall short because kids are great at breaking them and there is a lack of repairability.

There is also chromeos being kinda ass

Very pretty in the spring summer

I went on a cloudy day so the colors are muted but here’s an example from the internet of the same location (china cove) on a sunnier day

Spring in the west coast (on a cloudy day)

Heartbreaking for them

Unfortunately I have no sympathy for these fools

Ice melts and dilutes your drink

Also it’s a pain to make space for the ice tray

I’d rather just leave my drink in the fridge and come back to it after

Yup, my point is that red states gdp is being propped up by blue cities. The argument that red states generate equivalent gdp conveniently ignores that the counties in the state that do vote red don’t actually generate that much gdp. Cities are generally blue because the very nature of city life leans blue, and if you take these blue cities out of the equation you’d end up with a fraction of the supposed gdp of a red state.

And honestly a lot of these supposedly red states would crumble if gerrymandering didn’t exist, but that’s a separate point.

Let’s look at Texas voting by county https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas

Now let’s look at the proportion of gdp by county https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Texas_counties_by_GDP_2021.png

Hmm I wonder where most of the money in red states comes from…

In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time

Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game

Neat list, but imo photoshop is closer to being called a photomanipulation/image editor than photography. lightroom is the more dedicated photography software.

Also I wouldn’t call paint.net an alternative to photoshop. I love paint.net but its a relatively simple image editor and its functionally limited even with plugins.

Duck tax

Youtube is not all bad. The algorithm is, but the vast amount of content on it means that theres some genuinely helpful stuff. Videos about repair and fixing, educational videos on any subject in the world, videos about acceptance and self love

There’s no hope for facebook though, except the not so facebook marketplace (im gonna need a resurgence in like craigslist for that)

Does anyone else’s search on lemmy actually work as expected? I feel like it never finds anything really relevant. I can search for audio interfaces for example and all the first results are about software in general and not actually the hardware component.

I was going to say it couldn’t have been a decade but then I realized the last time I used Skype was about 2015 2016…

That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal

Public utilities are cheaper than private ones. And it’s not like there aren’t city programs for low income. Cali is far from being the most progressive (in comparison to the rest of the world) and they have plenty of assistance programs for all possible utilities.

They censored certain phrases and words, which they plan on no longer enforcing. I agree that they leave hate speech on the platform (reports rarely do anything) but the looser restrictions mean people can post even more hateful content and that paves the way for discrimatory ideologies

I dont think fact checking was the main reason, moreso that they decided to allow hate speech (e.g. They’re allowing targetted hate against LGBT groups).

What? League is consistently the top result of twitch. Even accounting for other regions, league is by far one of the largest games people watch in na. Big na streamers pull in thousands of viewers (doublelift, tyler1 for example)
