Sure that’s high, but I don’t think that’s quite what makes this truly asshole design though. It’s that the trial is on a weekly subscription of $4.99 when a year is only $9.99. $4.99/week for a year is $259.48 which happens to be 2,597% more expensive than the annual subscription. They are hoping people select the trial and forget about it while they rake in an astronomical amount for a third party app for an open source social network.

Is there something tangible? Slack’s logo is a symbol that suggests clockwise rotation while the version of the swastika that the Nazis used is a symbol that suggests counterclockwise rotation.

Especially given that the Nazis appropriated one version of a symbol that had many other versions/uses/meanings in different cultures, do we really need to equate every symbol or logo that has remote similarities to the swastika with Nazism?

Good lord what is this world coming to?

Respectfully, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Ah yes another prime example of them working with those who were willing to work with them. That’s what they said, right?

I like this question, although I don’t think it could work. Someone who campaigns really well, does not necessarily mean they will fulfill their office well. It also penalizes when there are two good candidates running against each other.

I could see it being more viable if the upper term limit is still along the lines of what we have today. Perhaps a presidential candidate winning an election by landslide could get a maximum term of 8 years, whereas someone just barely winning would have a shortened term of 1-2 years. I would definitely still be concerned about the negative ramifications of potentially more and more dirty campaigning to try and capture the highest portion of votes that others have mentioned.

TIL what a Cane Corso is.

I guess my question is how does Lemmy solve this problem in particular? Maybe I don’t understand it fully, but is there anything stopping an instance from shutting down and losing all the content associated with that instance? Users still have the ability to delete their posts and comments, don’t they? I do think there are many benefits to the decentralized system, but in these specific ways I’m not seeing a tangible benefit.

Do you still have the tick? The best thing to do is Google search for a service that you can mail in or drop off the tick. They will identify the type of tick, as well as test for the diseases that ticks carry. If everything is negative then you’re good to go, but if it tests positive for something you can take that to your doctor.

I just went through this process a couple months ago. Found a tick that had definitely been attached for a few days which is easily long enough for a disease to be transmitted. Mailed the tick in, got the results in an email a few days later that everything was negative.
