I know that feeling well.

I think the most obvious use case for in-person voting is for homeless people. But there are also people who just like it better.

It varies a lot by state. Washington primarily uses mail-in paper ballots. I love never having to visit a polling location. (In-person voting is an option here, but everyone I know votes by mail).

My EDC is a Spyderco Para 3, but IMHO Kershaw is a great budget brand. I really like the Iridium, but the finish is a bit too delicate for my taste because I keep my knife in the same pocket with my keys.

There are other kinds of monitors that come pretty close, but definitely not for under $100. For example, the Nebula display on some Asus laptops, or the Nixeus NX-EDG34S (which is no longer available, but I assume there are equally good monitors available using the same tech).

My bathroom has a sliding glass door and I hate it even more now.

I've mainly seen this with ^superscript^ notation not being recognized, but I assume there are other differences between Lemmy markdown and what Boost uses.

You know who I think shouldn't be allowed to run? The guy who tried to stage a coup.

I'm trying not to read too much into the fact that Reddit is down right now, but I've noticed pages have been increasingly slow to load lately, and I get a lot of messages about server errors even just voting on comments. It seems like they're barely even keeping the lights on. Anyone else notice the same thing?

Companies that aren't actively using their IP should be forced to license it to someone who will, or put it in the public domain.

I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won't harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

When you try to edit a Reddit comment in their mobile web app, it deletes all line breaks from your comment so you have to remember to manually put them back before submitting.

The other big issue I have is that when you type in and edited comment, it will omit spaces between words at random. JFC, there's no reason to use anything but a vanilla HTML input element (because only markdown formatting is supported), but they somehow fucked up basic text input anyway!

My last little gripe is that nothing in the interface tells you that markdown is supported, which is extra dumb because the desktop interface tries so hard to hide the fact that markdown even exists.

(And yes, there are a host of other annoyances, but I'm trying to limit my criticisms to things that can only be explained by incompetence.)

What even is the point of having separate categories of prescription and OTC drugs if there's nothing stopping unapproved drugs from being sold over the counter?

Can we at least agree that people should never be homeless? No?

Can we at least agree that disabled people should never be homeless? Still no?

How about veterans? Once again no.

Disabled veterans with children? Believe it or not, also no.

But if this community community isn't flooded with tech business articles, where are people going to post insightful comments like "fuck Google" and "switch to Firefox"?

The headline and a lot of the article are trying to give the impression Google is screwing customers out of what they paid for even though the article itself admits they're still going to honor the deal for existing customers. They just won't be extending contracts or writing new ones. Seems like the author is trying really hard to make a mountain out of a molehill.
