I boil with salt and a bit of vinegar in the pot. When I’m done, there is a noticeable white coating on the pot, presumably calcium from the egg shells.

So yes, it gets washed.

As awful as that is, the design of those dumpsters will always lead to this. To put the bag in, you must hold the lid open well above your head (and higher than many people can reach) while holding a heavy bag of trash, then lift it even higher to get it in. If you are smaller than average (e.g. a child), physically disabled, or just not an able-bodied adult, that becomes impossible

There’s plenty of good business reasons not to want to deal with these requests. Even if the first ones would be easier to just turn over, the 1000th, or millionth gets overwhelming

Isn’t there some sort of statute of limitations here? 12 years is an awfully long time

Hmm…It’s a bit too real. I was hoping for more of an “Explain Like I’m Calvin” answer

Possibly. I’m not entirely sure how to interpret that part.

One plausible scenario is that they brought in a consultant, who said their data would be worth $XXXX on the open market. A common element of MBA thinking is that any potential profits are something you are entitled to, regardless of the consequences. It’s also pretty clear they don’t have a mature management team, or a viable path to realize those profits. But they had to stop someone else from getting it, so there was a rushed decision. I don’t quite know how it coincided with killing 3rd party apps, though, unless it was just more really incompetent management.

I like it. Can we get one for Tim Apple? Or Mark Faceberg?

I foresee a whole new wave of shitposts from this.

I experienced the same thing! (Except my home instance is FMHY, not LW)

It is the same experience as trying to view NSFW subs on another instance that I’m not logged into. I already know there’s a filter that won’t show NSFW if you aren’t logged in, which explains those. I even checked, and didn’t see this as having anything marked NSFW.

I’m going to chalk it up as a Lemmy bug.

There is, and it’s not completely dead

Reddit isn’t just trying to balance the budget - they are specifically scrambling to make things work (or at least, look like they will work) for an IPO, which is a beast in and of itself.

Use lemmyverse.net to find communities across all instances. It will make you search a lot easier, and show you when a community exists on multiple instances

You can also report posts to the mod of those subs and get the users banned. I’m not sure if they can can the entire instance though

Surviving is a pretty bad metric, especially for social media. Digg “survived”. So did MySpace, Tumblr, and more. It’s too soon to say about Twitter, but their future (in general) doesn’t look very bright. They aren’t going to disappear, but they also aren’t going to be the cultural powerhouse they used to be.

More importantly, the move needs to be profitable. On the surface, it is- 3rd party app users don’t currently bring in money. Converting any of them at all to paid or ad-viewing users yields a net profit, if you keep a narrow focus.

Having these users active and engaged on your platform has a value as well, but one that’s really hard to quantify.
