It's not at all capitalism. ISPs are a regulated monopoly. If it were capitalism there'd be a choice.

Try starting your own ISP, the government in your towb wont let you. At most this is crony capitalism.

Yeah, the other heavily regulated industry.

Yep, but i closed my reddit account a while ago. I feel like reddit karna makes conversations less thoughtful. Everyone wants to post a quick quip and get karma, making the conversation pretty useless.

I'm also on K9, while not the prettiest, it's much better than it was.

If you weren't aware Thunderbird and K9 have teamed up. On the roadmap for this year including updating the message view and a major overhaul of the UI:

The K-9 interface looks outdated, does not conform to the current material design (Android platform) standards. We intend to bring it up-to-date with these as well as fix some workflow issues. https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/android-roadmap

In my current job it's very typical, but that's because we do contract work and shift devs around where the money is. It's disruptive and we try not to, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

At my previous dev job it happened very infrequently, usually only when there was an organizational change.

I think because the latest version is for lemmy 0.18 and the default instance is on 0.17. That's what i understood anyway.

Really depends on the city. NYC can be insanely expensive. In Manhattan a "cheap" beer (Miller Lite) is $8. Any half way decent dinner is going to run $30-40 per person. In the SE US, you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 on happy hour, or $4 regular, and a good meal for $20 per person.

When I'm traveling I try to accept things are going to cost more than at home, it's all relative.

Serious question (abd a likely unpopular opinion given the comments here) but do you really think Elon has "inflicted net harn on humanity?" And did you feel that way before he bought Twitter? In my opinion, he's one of the most important persons of this century so far. Getting us to mars & making electric cars commonplace are huge for humanity.

Thanks, I'll do my best!
